u. S. Negro Health
Makes Much Improvement

The biggest health boost OF any
group in the U. S. population has
been enjoyed in recent years by Ne
groes-and it still leaves Negroes
far worse off than whites. That was
the conclusion which could be read
between the lines Of a report made
last week by the Julius Rosenwald
Fund, which in 15 years has spent
81, 100000 on Negro health. v
There are now 110 Negro hospi-
tails in the U. S., 25 of them regis
tered, 13 approved for full intern
training. Fifteen years ago there
were almost none. But the Rosen-
wald Funds report states there are
still only 10000 hospital beds for
Negroes in the country Negro pop.

When the Funds work began,
there were only 20 Negro public

there are BAL. The Fund has helped

sis death rate has dropped from 235
per 100000 to an estimated 129.
The Fund demonstrated in a ten
year campaign in Macon County,
Ca, that syphilis among Negroes
can be controlled in a relatively
short time. The Negro rate dropped
from 40@O to 1919.
Though training facilities have
improved, there are now only 1000
Negro physicians-a slight i'm
provement over 1928 when there
was one colored physician to every
3,125 Negroes. The same year there
was one physician to every 805 of
the general population. (Most Ne
groes go to white physicians.)
In 1924, the Negro death rate was
17.6 per thousand, compared with
11.8 for the rest of the population.
The death rate is now IA per thou

great aviation plants now going full
blast in widely separated parts Of
the country. No one will dispute
that who has had the opportunity
to see, these plants in full operation,
to understand what they are doing
and how-plants, for example, such
as the vast Consolidated Aircraft
Corp. here in California, directed by
that doughty old industrialist, Tom
Girdler, who, after a lifetime in
steel, is now, without salary, con-
centrating heart and mind on the
fascinating-he says-business of
making bombers bigger, better and
faster than they can be made in
Japan and Germany.
That, OF course, is what all the
otherr aircraft manufacturers-up
and down both Coasts and in the
intarior-are doing, too. But. out
here In the Girdler plant, for the
first time the big bombers are COM
ing of the moving assembly line
In the way automobiles used to come
more slowly, of course, because OF
the immensely greater size and COM
plexity OF the product, but coming
just the same. That is big and
exciting fact. Heretofore, it has
been held impossible to achieve mass
production Of these incredibly COM
plicated and appallingly intricate
weapons OF war, with their 100000
separate parts, exclusive Of bolts,
nuts and rivets, Of which there are
100000. Nevertheless, 1t is being
DONE. In the Consolidated plant,
starting last Saturday, they are
coming of the moving assembly as
the infinitely simpler automobile
came before its production stopped.
1t is tribute to the aircraft manu-
facturer who, perhaps. is justly
proud that the automobile manu-
facturer did not lead the way.
Spirit lifting Production.
1t is not permitted to give produc-
ton figures, nor to describe, except
in general terms, the operation.
However, certain things can be said.
One is. tnat the big bombers are
coming OH far faster than any one
believed possible. They are coming
OF faster, in fact, than the Army
and Navy can furnish fully trained
flying crews to fly them. They are
coming of the line so fast that the
totals are tremendously cheering
The pace these plants have struck
now is the most heartening thing
Evening star., 1942-03-18
Spirit-Lifting Production
Mass Methods Achieved to Step Up
Bomber Output Far Beyond Expectations

in all the country. It lifts the
spirits. 1t is sustaining antidote
to bad news. 1t creates confidence,
inspires admiration and respect.
The most stimulating thing, of
course, Is that while what they have
done and are doing is literally
manufacturing miracle, these plants
really have just got going. II un-
hampered by factors beyond their
control; If unchecked by govern
mental red tape and incompetence;
If not delayed by labor politicians
and their allies within the admins
tration, the production of these
bombers and fighting plaens will in
crease month by month until what
seemed the fantastic program an
nounced by the President last Janu-
airy is not only equaled, but sur
passed.
"If" Lies In Background.
In such a forecast as this there,
OF course, Is always an 'if" In this
case the "if" has nothing to do with
management or labor. There is no
apprehension about anything con-
nected with the plant or the workers.
The relations between management
and men are cordial and co-opera-
tive. There is no apprehension
about sabotage or enemy attack,
against both Of which the precau-
tions seem adequate and ample.
There is apprehension lest raw
materials run out and the necessary
gadgets, which cannot be made in
the plants themselves, but must come
from the outside, prove unobtainable.
For the supply of the raw materials
and certain gadgets the aircraft
plant must rely upon outside manu-
facturers and the Government
mainly the Government. If Gripping
shortages do not develop through
the ineffectiveness of governmental
priorities or the inability of Govern
ment officials to live up to their own
exhortations, then everything is all
right. II these do not fail, the
bombers will keep coming off the
line at a steadily accelerated pace
and a smashing victory will be as
sure as sunrise.

they great enough?
Yet in this tragic farce not one,
not even the collaborationist ac-
cusers, is prepared to put on
France the guilt for this war.
Some last vestige OF national
pride on the part Of Vichy pre-
vents her from rendering ver-
dict against France on behalf Of
Germany. And that is proof that
France is still a nation.
The problem of defeat, whether
for person or nation. is the
problem of how defeat is digested.
Defeat can be turned into the
greatest victory in the end If the
nation is awakened by 1t to the
will to cast off dross, to begin a
new life.
In a defeated nation the spirit
that says rise again" is never
universal. The recreation of a
defeated nation can, and usually
does, start with a very small
group. One man can be a ma
tion-one man out of so mil
lion-if he alone represents what
the nation remembers of its past
greatness and burningly wishes
to become. There was a time
when the whole French nation
was one woman: Joan of Afc. In
the days Of Napoleon III the
French nation was one man:
Victor Hugo. To them the spirit
of France repaired.
What Is France?
What is France? Is it the
beauty OF Paris, that most gracious
OF cities, so clear, so triumph
ant, and so homelike-homel
to all the world? Or is it the
valley of the Rhone-that con-
tinental garden in which men
seem to have kissed the soil into
blooming? Or is it the valley Of
the Loire-a visible history of
chivalry? Or Is it the literature
of France? The mordant wit of
Voltaire, the humane passion OF
Hugo, the biting satire of Mo-
liere, the civilized intellectual
erotic of Stendhal? Or is it the
painting Of France? Is it that
blooming tenderness that only
French painting seems ever
wholly to have .captured-the
civilized gaiety touched with mel
ancholy of Renoir or Manet, E
Monet or Cezanne? -- -,
1t is not these. These are ema-
nations of the French spirit,
emanations of the specifically
French civilization. And the
characteristics of this civilization
are: Humanism-the humaniz-
ing Of everything. including the
very land; clarity, lucidity-the
glory of the French language;
light-the light of the French
sky and the enlightenment of the
French mind; wit-the wit that
despises cant and sham, and al
ways cuts sharp through 1t,

Indian Princes Insist
On Autonomy Of States
BY the Associated Press.

NEW DELHI, March 18.-The In
dian Chamber of Princes In a res
olution yesterday said any constitu-
tional scheme to provide indepen-
dence for India "to be acceptable to
the princes must effectively protect
the rights arising from treaties and
engagements and insure the future
existence, sovereignty and autonomy
Of the states guaranteed thereun-

The Chamber Of Princes is mainly
concerned with the rights of princes
of scores of Indian states.
The chancellor of the Chamber,
Maharaja Nawanager. said yester-
day the princes publicly associated
themselves with the general desire
to secure for India the fullest free
dom and highest status under the
British crown.
