The Sanitorium Project

If outside help is needed, it is earnestly to
he hoped that the United States Public Health
Service can see its way clear to appropriate
sufficient money for building d new tubercu-
losls sanitorium in New Hanover county, as
requested by the County Board of Commits
sioners. The Red Cross Sanitorium has been
closed for some months and while it has been
possible to place its patients in state retreats
this has resulted in still further crowding their
already overtaxed accommodations.
Should the Service appealed to fail 10 help,
as the FILA did, there could be no adequate
excuse for the country itself to abandon the
project. On the contrary, it will become its
duty to build and operate sanitorium.
There is no good reason to think that the
people would not approve bond issue for
this purpose. The excellent achievement Of
the Red Cross Sanltorium is too well known
and the need for similar institution too well
understood to fear any lack of support at the
polls.
When it was necessary to close the Red
Cross Sanltorium because the ar field expan-
sion made its continued operation impossible
Dr. John c. VESSEL. who for generation had
given his time and talent to its service, told
the Commission that in his studied opinion 80
per cent of all votes cast at bond election
would be favorable. The Commissions chair
man, Mr.. Addison Hewlett ana other men,
bers of the Commission concurred.
Nothing has TRANSFERRED since that confer
ence in the Court House to change this esti-
mate. 1t is right to believe that failing to get
the necessary money from the United States
Public Health Service, the people of New
Hanover County woulo overwhelmingly en-.
dorse a bond issue.
Perhaps outside aid will be forthcoming. II
SO, well and good. Contrariwise. it may moi
come. In this case and considering that much
time has already been lost. might it not be
well to have the election call prepared that any
unnecessary further loss OF time be avoided!

Dispels Jitters

ANY fears as to the motives Of the United
Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administra-
ton should be quoted by the admirable ad-
dress which Herbert H. Lehman made when
he assumed the dictatorship of that organiza-
ton. The address, marked equally by COM
passion and common sense, might even 81
lence some of the doeful warnings of world
wide WPA'' and dire pr edictons of "a quart
of milk for every Hotten:ot.'' At least it
gives those warnings and predictions an in
creasingly hollow sound.
| Mr. Lehman stated that he would act "as
representative of all the member govern
ments, neither seeking nor accepting instruc-
lions from any Individual government He
announced the UNRRA:s lone cardinal prin-
ciple' as that of helping people to help
themselves. He urged a policy of interfer-
ing as little as possible with the recognized
authorities of liberated countries and ANNOUNCE
ed that 'the purpose of UNRRA is not to
substitute international controls for national
CONTROLS
| He also re-emphasized certain conclusions
and conditions that should be obvious to all
of us, but apparently have not been: that no
one nation or any small group Of nations has
the resources to meet the problems confront
ing UNRRA; that the people who have suf-
fered most directly from this war will want
to work out their own salvation, rather than
turn their country into a grand-scale relief
project; that lasting peace cannot be achieved
or even planned for while hunger and disease
ravage the large part of Two continents
| These are only some of the practical as
poets of UNRRA policy, uttered by man
whose public life testfies to his truthfulness
and sincerity. They promise a sensible full
! fillment of humane obligation. which no one
can question who processes ny belief in
Christian principles or the brotherhood of man.
The purposes stated by Mr.. Lehman are
Of sort which should be able to rally the
support of wide variety Of political philoso-
phies in this country. Even persons of an
isolationist or nationalist viewpoint S h u | d
agree that, in thinking of America first, they
must think of Americas future and that in
achieving pre-War comfort and prosperity by
withholding all our resources from sick hun
cry, strife-torn nations, we should be achiev-
ing poor and precarlous triumph.

templated by some Of the larger employers.
are not gravely affected by the steadily ris-
ing cost of living But what Of these other
workers who could barely get by on their
little pay when times were normal?
How are they to survive, even if their en-
ployers are permitted to raise their pay?
Twice their present earnings would still leave
them in poverty.
The difference between the $500 a week
which Mr.. Scroggs says some war workers
are receiving and the $14 or SIS melted out
to some non-war workers is the difference be-
tween luxury and sctual suffering.
Clearly the blank-check system which the
government resorted to for manning war indus
tries is not only failing to stem the tide of
initiation but also bringing starvation and
nakedness for a large segment OF the popu-
lation.

UnsOund Economics

While the basic rate of pay for war work.
ers has not increased since 1884, save in rare
cases, the longer work week and overtime pay
have materially increased their gross earn
ings. On the other hand, with one group Of
workers receiving unprecedented pay there
are still many persons working for $l4 and
