DIR. A. j. PLUMER
PASSES AWAY
I'm IOWA

Editors Note: The readers of
The Voice and its editor have
sense of having lost one of the lib
eral stalwarts and a tried and
| trusted friend in the passing of
| Senator Plumer We extend our
sincere sympathy to his family.
| The little man in the state has lost
one of its most ardent champions.
He set an example for the rest of
us to follow We shall miss him.
The following obituary was written
by doctor friend of DR.. A. j. Plumer
who had known him for 40 years.
DR.. Andrew Jackson Plumer was
born in Council Bluffs, Iowa, on Feb
ruary 10, 1863. His elementary edu-
cation was obtained in the public
school system of Council Bluffs in
what was, at that time, the Third
street school which is no longer in
existence. He graduated in medicine
from the st. Louis Medical college
when he was but nineteen years of
age and knowing that he could not
enter practice until he was twenty
one, he entered the medical school of
the University of Pennsylvania from
which he graduated at the age of
twenty-five. Upon his graduation he,
with two hundred other graduates,
took the examination for interneships
in Blockley hospital in Philadelphia
and he was one of the twenty who
were selected for such service. He
was the personal inferno for the late
Sir William Osler and had for room
mate at Brockley the eminent sur
geon, John Chalmers DaCosta.
Upon the completion of his inferno
ship he went to Berlin where he con-
tinued his studies in Pathology under
the founder of all of our modern path
ology, Rudolph Virchow. Aside from
being the greatest pathologist of his
time, Virchow was the leading Social
list in Germany and as he and Bis
mark, "the Iron Chancellor" were in
political conflict, there were
times when Virchow was banished to
D lJZeTlduu anu uuTluS lueSS LILIES VI
Punishment, Dr. Plumer went with
Virchow. All of DR.. Plumer's pathol-
0gy and much of his political philos
)phy came from Virchow and those
with whom he was associated.
Upon completion of his work with
Virchow, he attended the Allie Gem
einde Krankenhans in VIENNA where |
lie continued his pathologic studies |
lnder Bowman, Nothnagel and Bill |

,eon came to Vienna searching for a |
to assist him in his re-
earch in malignant tumors, he Sc
ected DR.. Plumer to go with him to
Paris for that service. From Paris he |
yent to st. Johns in London where |
lie was the resident pathologist for a
,rief period and then returned to
as the assistant in path |

WHAT TO DO ABOUT
lEND-LEASE DEBTS

Washington is already concerned over
how the United States lend-lease debts
will l., repaid. This is disclosed both
by news dispatches and the comments of
Congressman John Phillips in which MI.
Phillips points his finger at the power
accorded President Roosevelt to settle the
terms of lend-lease arrangements as he
deems best.
Mr.. Phillips stresses that the term
deems was insisted upon by the presl-
dent because it permits his settlement to
be based upon pure personal selection,
rather than conclusion substantiated by
facts.
There are two important phases of
the serious lend-lease question. One is
whether all this power should be accord
ed the chief executive. The other Is just
how can our allies be expected to repay
us if. after the last war they were un-
able to pay obligations Of much smaller
size.
The basis upon which lend-lease has
been extended are not yet defined in this
deal of loaning or giving money or goods
on terms TO be decided later.
Under normal procedure, whatever
terms are agreed upon would be subject
TO approval by either or both houses OF
congress. This delegation of power to

order to permit someone with authority
to speak officially as time and the war
and the loans went along, thus permit
ting war progress without lengthy delays
and possible endless haggling between
congress and the President. Such an
idea, from a practical standpoint, would
appear sound.
On the other hand, even in so-called
private enterprise executives have checks
and balances in the form of boards of
directors. and if such is the case in best
political and business experience, there
should be such check in this instance
also.
That in a nutshell is the problem-to
leave full arbitrary power in the hands
of the President to expedite the war
effort and eliminate later argument, or
to retain the safe privilege of a congress
sional control as a protection against
abuse of power.

tory relations between President Wilson
and his congress, following World War

SLICES ARE EVEN AGAIN

Wartime living is full of surprises.
The return of sliced bread is one. A
welcome one, too, we may add.
There seems to have been some mys-
terry surrounding the no-slicing edict
from the first. Many questioned it as an
economy. If it did result in a saving
and that saving is no longer necessary,
the prompt adjustment is reassurng. If
someone made an error in the original
ruling and has now rectified it, he is to
be praised.
At any rate, it is but another chapter
in the age-old story of bread. There have
been many turbulent chapters in its his
tory. Today, in occupied Europe, the
story of bread is the story of suffering,
hardship, and even violence. In compar-
ison, the matter of whether the bread in
America is sliced or not lis of no import
ance. American housewives were willing
to slice their own if necessary, and glad
indeed to have it to slice. But they're

Adolph Hitler Has
Million Germans to
Pit Against Allies

LONDON, March 26. - CUPD-
Adolf Hitler has a strategic re-
serve of at least 100000 troops
-increasable to 100000 in an
| emergency-With which to combat
any Anglo-American invasion of
Europe, Allied observers estimated
! today.
The Strengthening of the Axis line
Fln Russia under pressure of the
Soviet winter offensive will release
100000 men, these sources said,
and twice that number could be
spared should the Germans decide
to shorten their lines further or go
completely on the defensive along
the length of the estern front
NEW OFFENSIVE?
What use Hitler will make of this
strategic reserve will be determined
by the events of the next few
months If he should conclude that
the United States and Britain will
not strike before late summer or
early autumn, he undoubtedly
would launch a new offensive of
his own in Russia.
However, it appears unlikely that
Hitler will tackle the Russians
again unless his submarine COM
manders give him positive assur-
ances that they are sinking so MANY
shiploadS of men and supplies that
the Allies cannot possibly mount a
powerful offensive.
FAIR SHAPE
The Germans must have come out
OF the winter war in fairly good
shape from the standpoint of re-
serves.
