Alternative To Capitalism

In condemning "some postwar plan
ners in positions of power" who urge that
the United States follow the leadership OF
Germany by planning to have the gov
eminent provide jobs for everyone after
the war, Eric A. Johnston, president OF
the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, warns
that: 1.-THE economic theory behind the
belief that the state must take precedence
over the individual stems from the fall
lacy that the age of American develop
ment is closed chapter and that bust
ness has reached it's ultimate maturity"
Actually American development has
barely started. Nowhere is this more evil
dent than in the production revolution
OF the past months. The manufacturing
and natural resource industries have
achieved miracles. They have overcome

English doctors have decided that they
will not become State employees at a
fixed salary. A plan was being formu-
lated whereby doctors would be under the
control of local authorities with set
scale of salaries AS state employees, 1t
was said, they would no longer be the
physicians and personal friends of their
patients Rather than be controlled by
authorities they would prefer to be under
a group of their own profession. The plan
which does not meet with their approval
is known as the Ministry of Health plan
which in their estimation might make the
treatment of illness too standardized.

Communism Illegal

This is what Supreme Court Justice
John F. Carew charged trial jury in
New York City the other day:
"This man has no right to be Com
munist. Communism, the advocacy of
communism, is a crime under the Con-
stitution of New York and the laws of the
United States. No man has legal right
to be Communist here" We can't vouch
for the validity of the law, but we applaud
the logic.

AMERICAN SUBMARINES
New York Tines

NNCW VI AllCOI
Without a word of how they Jared,
two more American submarines, the
Amberjack and the Grampus, have
reached the Port of Missing Ships.
We know that brave men took them
there. Both commanders wore the
Navy Cross for extraordinary hero
ism. Both crews had made their
record of enemy craft destroyed.
This brings our submarine loss to
eight. 1t can be considered remark
ably light after nearly nineteen
months of warfare. Our Navy, Of
course, does not announce the num-
Der of undersea craft we now have
in commission, but at the beginning
of the war there were almost a hun
dred of all types in operation. 1t is
no secret that their chief hunting
ground has been the Pacific right up
to the shores of Japan itself. They
are credited with having sunk or
probably sunk or damaged 256 en-
envy ships, including sixteen report
ed in last nights Navy communi-
que In tonnage this represents more
ClldIl Vic dlllludl PlC-WdA PlOuuO-
ton of Japan's shipyards.
But sinking ships is by no means
the only duty of our submarines in
the Pacific. They serve as eyes and
ears for our surface fleet. Long
range American submarines are
constantly on the watch to flash
their warnings of enemy fleet move
ments. 1t is believed to nave been
these half-submerged sentinels that
revealed the advance of the Japa-
nese armada on Midway and the
last descent Of the enemy fleet from
Truk. We now get little more than
these broken glimpses of our subma-
rines at work. Some day the full
story of their exploits will be told.

TEN YEARS OF OVERWEIGHT
THEN DIABETES

Our science teacher often has
some one read something from your
column in class and then we dis
cuss the subject. Every one ac-
cepts your view as authoritative
except one boy CHS father is a
drugless doctor) and he insists you
are not even person but just a
name used by the medical trust
we have had a hot argument
about diabetes. Some members
claim you have stated that diabetes
is always inherited; other members
are as positive you have declared it
is not inherited at all. CM. c. FL
That boys charge is probably
more painful to the medical trust'
(if that means the American Medi-
cal ASsociation) than it is to me,
for, although I am a member or
fellow, as a reputable lawyer Is a
member of the Bar Association, I
regard the A. M. A. as a clique Of
timid yesmen who do the A. M. A.
dictator's bidding.
In the first place, bear in mind
that I am not authority on the
subject of diabetes. All I know is
what I read in the books, medical
journals and letters from readers.
In the textbook Treatment Of
Diabetes Mellitus, by Joslir, Root,
White and Marble, (girls reading
this please note and remember that
is Pricilla White, M. D., internist-
specialist in internal diseases-in-
structor in pediatrics in Tufts Col
lege Medical School, physician on
the staff of New England Deacon
ess HospitaD read that 25 per cent
of our entire population are now
carriers Of the potentiality or ten
dency to develop diabetes and may
pass this tendency on to their chill
dren.
Whether persons who have In.
herited the tendency develop dia-
betes or not depends largely on how
they live.
People who are training for dia.
betes generally take on superflu-
Gus flesh and carry the excess
weight for ten years or so before
they finally achieve diabetes.
Now, children, I do not say or
imply that every one who is over
weight for his or her age and height
will inevitably develop diabetes.
But if one has inherited the ten
dency or potentiality, this is the
direct route to diabetes mellitus.
On many occasions when speak
ing of overweight, obesity and re-
ducing, have emphasized the i'm
portance of vitamins. Speaking Of
diabetes now emphasize the i'm
portance of an adequate or optimai
daily intake of vitamin B-compleX
and I call vitamin B poor mans

The general tenor OF his memo
was that we could not entirely
trust our Allies and might find
ourselves fighting The Japs alone
after the war in Europe was
ended.
Bullitt circulated this memo to
various high officials in the War
and Navy Departments, among
them Assistant Secretary of War
McCloy, who took IL in to Sec
rotary of War Henry L. Stimson.
Stimson, shocked by Bullitt's
lack of faith and his criticism of
our Allies, wrote in his own hand
writing at the top of the memo:
THE author OF this memo does
not serve the purposes Of his
country.-H. L. s."
Bullitt also inspired Senator
Happy Chandler of Kentucky who
virtually parapharsed Bullitt's
confidential memo in delivering
his famous speech during the
Churchill visit, demanding that
we concentrate on the Far East.
NEW FAR EASTERN DRIVE
Although Bullitt's memo had alb
solutely nothing to do with it, and
the decisions arrived at would
have been the same anyway, it
now seems certain that we will
concentrate on the Far East to
a much greater degree than most
people expected.
U. S. Naval officials had been
privately skeptical of British CO.
operation in the Far East and
never expected Churchill to come
through. However, he and Roose-
welt both agreed that the time had
arrived for vigorous operations to
stop the Japs before they dug in
so deeply on the Pacific Islands
that it would take years to dis
lodge them.
The British have now given
definite commitments regarding
certain operations. This is i'm
portant. 1t so happens that
the British do not promise cas-
lily. Our own top strategists are
inclined to make promises quick
ly, but sometimes have to ex-
plain them away when condi-
tiOns change and 1t Is obvious
they cannot be kept. But the
British, though awfully hard to
pin down, have absolutely kept
their agreements when once

Selected Poem

FROM CONVOY
Godfrey Young in the Christian Science Monltor)
I will have trees and flowers and grass
And a small house that never knew
The sound of sea; plowland shall spread its fans
Before my windows, and green fields
Thread in among it to low brown holl.
Bright leaves shall press their shapes against my
panes,
And living color fame along my sill;
And when I look beyond each curtained square
I'll see the solid earth-quite still!

CROSBY THESPIANS CLICK IN COMEDY
"Green Stockings" Most Creditably Under Direc=
 ton of Miss MacdOnneI

Green Stockings" an English comedy which centered around the Whims of an English spinster, was presented last night by the Mask and Wig senior dramatic club of Crosby high school before a large audience of students, parents and friends of the cast at the Water bury Women's Club.
 A splendid job of directing by Miss Marie G. Macdonnel, Crosby $ dramatic coach, made the play one of the most well-knit productions to be presented in this city in years. Miss Macdonnel chose the A. E. w. Mason comedy at the request of sev- eral friends of the school, who re- ceived it very enthusiastically when it was presented by Miss Macdonnel several seasons ago.
 Eileen Lanouette, petite perSonifi- cation of a charming, sweet, young high school girl, performed with the ease of a professional the rather difficult role of Celia Faraday, an English old maid, who invented fiance to save face, a characteriza- tion which is quite foreign to youthful high school girl.
 Robert Hennes as Sir Robert Ira yer, who was interested only in the election, and later in the play, Celia, carried off his part with graceful and elegant gestures. Well-placed exaggeration by the young actor in- troduced the typical expression of a young English "swell".
 Colonel Smith, the invented fi- ance, who turned out to be a real person, was portrayed by William Moran in the latter part of the play, who captured all the dignity and powerful command of a colonel. His role as sweetheart was also con- mendable.
 Betty Card, Elizabeth Paul and Leona Curley, sisters of the spin Ster who transformed into a rav- ishing beauty almost overnight as result of her romantic" invention, shared honors as safely secure" fiancees and wives.
 Robert Boucher as typical manor house father, who thundered, God Bless My Soul" on the slightest proVocation, was quite successfully received by the audience.
 The smoothness of the production was apparent throughout, and the dramatic ability of each member of the cast was indicative of care ful and thorough rehearsal Betty Guhring stole a scene in the form of a pixilated matronly duchess, prancing around the stage and per- forming the antics of intoxication. Norman Garfield, Ericsson Broad bent, Jr, Anthony Coburn and Thomas Horrigan shared honors with the rest of the cast.
 Ruth Norton and Phyliss Lyttle were the prompters. The Crosby senior orchestra under the baton of Floyd Evans provided pleasant in- cidental music between acts.-C. G..

the plants represented. ApproXi- mately 14fo of the men and 34ao of the women were office workers.
 Cases of absences for short terms among the men were at a rate of 199 per thousand, and for long terms among the men were at rate of 199 per thousand, for long terms at a rate of 60 per thousand. Their overall rate of absence was 259 per thousand, and the days lost on absence averaged 21.
 Women accounted for 32eo of all absences, 329o of those of one, two CT three days, and the same per- centage of these extending over four or more days. They showed a 68%o greater likelihood to be absent than men. Short-term absences were 6795 more frequent among them than men, and long-term absences 68fo more frequent Short-te absences accounted for 40fo of the total time lost by women because of sickness, non-industrial accidents and per- sonal reasons.
 The reports of 36 plants, employ ing 113, 140 persons are analysed to show the relative importance of ill., ness, non-industrial accidents and absence for personal reasons. H. ness accounted for 486Po of the ab- senceS; non-industrial accidents, 2.4%; and personal reasons, 49.19s. These causes were responsible for 60.09o, 3.%c3 and 367f6, respectively, of the time lost.

Startling Figures O.,
 Industrial Absenteeisn1

Absenteeism in February result ing from sickness, industrial accidents and personal reasons the loss of 39,320,000 man days in Amer ican industry, according to the Management Research Division of The National Industrial Conference Board. This figure compares with 39,400000 man days lost in January
 The slight decline in February was due wholly to small decline in total industrial employment since days lost per employe re- mained the same for the two months. In February, as in January, the Boards regular monthly survey revealed 0.8 days lost per man and 1-2 days per woman employe.
 These averages were computed from figures of absenteeism in 52 plants located in Is states and the District of Columbia and employing 144,717 persons. War materials con- stituted about 73%o of the output of
