Majority To Ratify Treaties

To prevent "the destruction of peace through the
stubborn opposition of wilful minority" Henry Breck
enrdge former Assistant Secretary of War; proposes
immediate passage of constitutional amendment trans
ferTlng peaceapproval power from twothirds of the
Senate to majority of both Houses of Congress.
The Colonel points out that majority of one in
the Houses of Congress plunge this nation into
bloody war; but that representatives of less than
tenth of the population in the Senate alone can de-
stroy any peace"
The constitutional provisions which requires two
thirds vote of the Senate to rafy treaties undoubtedly
gives to minority absolute vote power upon the foreign
relations of the United States.
There is widespread feeling, throughout the coun
ry that this dangerous and that should
be taken to permit majority of the Senate of both
houses to ratify treaties

Unfortunate

The publicity attending the Patton incident is un-
fortunate both for the officer involved and the United
States as nation at war.
From this distance it is not easy to pass judgment
upon the matter and the average American can leave
it in the hands of military leaders.
Apparently, the General made mistake, for which
he apoogzed News dispatches indicate that it occurred
during tense period of military operations This may
not excuse the officers conduct but it explains it to
extent.

Statesmen

If you have ever had salesman to camp on your
trail and put in his time taking yours to convince you
that what he wants to sell is what you should buy then
you will shudder at the prediction that after the war;
there will be 100000 statesmen.
That will put one salesman at the heels of every

Today Battlefield Victims
Get Speedy, Effective Care
Blood Plasma, SuIfonamides and 0rganiza-
tion of Medical Services Insure Prompt
Treatment of Wounded Men.
By BAUKHAGE
Netus Analyst and Commentator.

WNU Service, Union Trust Building
Washington, d. c.
A young reserve officer friend of
mine came up to say goodby to me
a year and half ago. He fiattered
me by asking for my advice before
he went into active service.
knew he wanted to see action.
He had refused desk job in Wash
ington. knew he wanted to do the
job and get home to his wife and
babies.
So I said: Hope for light wound
and you'll hope for the best"
OF course. nobody would try to fol-
low such advice but my friend got
the wound (and a medal for bravery
tool and now he's back in civvies
again.
He doesn't like what the Jap bullet
did to his leg for he'll play no more
tennis or handball but his wife has
live, If lame, husband and his chill
dren have something beside a pic
ture and a piece Of ribbon to call
daddy"
When I gave that sage advice, I
didn't know how smart I was.
''The wounded soldier in this
global war. though he is exposed to
almost every health hazard known
to man, still has a better chance of
surviving and returning safely home
than ever before" says Maj. Gen.
Norman Kirk. surgeon-general Of
the army.
The general gave three reasons:
first, the use of blood plasma to
avoid shock and hemorrhage; Sec
ond, the use Of sulfonamides to COM
bat infection; and third, the mobility
and organization Of the medical
services which insure prompt and
efficient medical and surgical treat
ment.
The Reasons
heard of widespread use Of blood
plasma first in the Spanish Civil war
and imagine much valuable expert
ence was gained from that conflict.
We know it was a proving ground
for Nazi and Fascist killing and un-
doubtedly the Allies profited by the
efforts in life-saving as well.
The use of sulfa drugs is one Of
the great blessings which modern
chemistry has given us. Recently I
stood IN one Of the plants of the
Monsanto Chemical company in st.
Louis, Mo-. letting the soft. healing
powder drip through my fingers. Be-
fore me, in a space hardly Is feet
square, was collection Of small
kegs containing this wonderful anti
septic. There was enough within
my easy reach to serve the whole
Sicilian campaign, they told me.
Each soldier has his packet and fills

mis- wound " :. It stymies the
germs until natural processes anni-
hilate them.
The mobility of the medical units
has been described in many dis
patches and you have all seen photo
graphs of the flying hospitals. the
great air transports with their equip
ment and nurses. The wounded are
rapidly returned to bases where they
get the best of care. Treatment on
naval vessels is equally effective.
It must be understood that the
drugs and the plasma in themselves
are not cure-alls. They are not
even cures in many cases. They
are preventatives. They are what
you do with" until the doctor comes
more accurately. until you come to
the doctor. Surgery is necessary in
the cases Of most wounds.
Capt. w. M. Craig, chief of sur
gerry at the Naval Medical center,
Bethesda, Nd. just outside of Wash
ington, puts 1t succinctly:
I'm the last war, when a mans
head was cut open by shell frag-
ment," says Captain Craig, "the sur
geon had to operate at once. even
though the patient was in such q
weakened condition that he hadn't
one chance in a hundred to survive
the operation. The surgeon had no
other choice; he knew II he waited,
infection would set in and that would
be the end. In this war It is differ.
ent; the patient is given blood plas.
ma treatment to build him up, sulfa
to check infection. and If his condi-
tion permits, he Is flown to hos
pital in the rear where the operation
is performed under ideal condi
tions."
Short Time Lag
In the last war, all wounded had
to have a powerful injection, most
painful thing to endure, and nowhere
near as effective as modern treat
ment.
The army estimates that 80 to 80
per cent Of the wounded get frst-aid
treatment within an hour of being
wounded. Ships are well equipped,
the larger ones as well as hospital.
The man with a not too serious
wound, and that is by far the ma
jority of cases (amputations are in
cluded), has a splendid chance for
recovery and resumption of his
natural existence in civil life when
he is discharged
In two categories this war has
been harsher than any preceding.
There is a greater proportion of
killed in action to wounded. Also the
mental casualties are higher in the
present war.
Careful efforts have been made to
screen out those showing character

Character educa ton in school cur
riculums is now generally recog-
nized as indispensable in combat
ting juvenile delinquency" DR.. Reed
asserted.
The question of character educa-
ton is one that schools cannot
handle alone. however, he contin-
ued. Communities must help, as
we'll as churches and organiza-
tons"
The speaker spoke highly of the
work done by such organizations
as the YMCA, the YWCA, the
Knights of Columbus and the Red
Cross, Here in Washington, the
Junior Red Cross particularly is
doing a fine job" he said.
The educator expressed disap-
proval of certain abstract methods
of inducing children to "be good
Such things as awarding gold
stars or giving certain decorations
for making high marks aren't good, y
he declared. 1T leads children to
deceive sometimes to get rewards -
Need of Self control.
Schools have been preaching
'self-expression' to children for
some years." he added. "Self-con-
troll is just as important as SELF
expression"
DR.. Reed advocated hobbies for
children.
Give them a hobby in which
they are interested and you'll find
they aren't in much trouble" he
said.
In conclusion, he said, Juvenile
crime is plant of very slow growth
Teachers can see it coming years
ahead of time The only way to
settle the problem is by helping to
adjust the lives of young people
early"
Mrs. H. L. Parkinson, section
chairman, presided and introduced
the speaker. Mrs. Burnita Shelton

DR.: Reed Tells City Club
Of Child Delinquency Factors

Factors contributing to juvenile
delinquency, as we'll as those mill
tating for good were discussed by
DR.. Carroll Reed, first assistant
superintendent of District Schools,
yesterday before members of the
civic section of the Womens City
Club.
Addressing the monthly forum
luncheon of the group, the speaker
who is in charge of curriculum re-
vision of the District schools, de-
clared that the impact of war has
brought forth a juvenile problem
in the District as it has in all parts
of the world, particularly in Eng
land
In IS per cent of District fam
lilies, we now find both parents
working, many at night" he said.
1T is a familiar problem for welfare
workers, that of the child who goes
out with the latch key around his
neck to school, to return home with
no one there. Often there is no
one there at night when he returns" !"
Offsetting Factors.
Ofsetting the harm of parents
away from home due to work is a
factor which initiates for good, the
speaker pointed out.
Homes have more money now"
he said Parents can feed and
clothe their children better. There
are radios, books and magazines in
the home, which is economically
more secure than before. So far"
he added, there are no figures to
show whether these factors counter
balance each other or not"
+ DR.. Reed added, however, that
debt and lack of the necessities of
life doubtless contribute to crime
and that the newly added comforts
of the homes of working parents
probably offset to some degree their
absence from home.
A factor contributing to delin-
quency in the District is the con-
slant influx of new pupils, as we'll
as the transferring OF pupils from
school to school, he continued.
I'm the first six weeks of school
this year there were 1900 children
who moved" he explained. "Ex-
treme mobility is always conducive
to delinquency"
Work Permits Increase.
DR.. Reed said there had been a
great increase in requests from
young people for work permits.
Since last July, we have had
1852 applications for work permits" :"
he commented. Il think it is a fine
thing for young people to earn
money. 1t helps them to gain self
respect and responsibility. The bov
who has a paper route is lucky
boy" he added, land you seldom
hear of his getting into trouble"
