SISTER KENNY'S METHOD

A GOOD friend writes to take us courteously to
task for indicating that the National tounda-
ton for Infantile Paralysis hasn't done what 1t
should have done to back Sister Kenny and her
hot pack method of treating infantile paralysis.
Our correspondent has done a lot of checking
and he seems to show that the Foundation has
done all that it could have done.
SO, let's set the matter straight. Our comment
was that Basil O'Connor had better do some eX-
planning. Perhaps ne doesn't need to explain.
However, even though the Foundation has done
its full duty in relation to the Sister Kenny meth
cd, it still seems as if it would have been good
policy if Mr.. OConnor had made a fuller explain
alton to the public.
Let's give the Foundation full credit, but let
us still add that the public which gives all the
money is entitled at all times to full and frank
about what's going on, even if such
may involve diSputatious situations.
We're sorry to have created false impression OF
the Foundations activity, but if that was done on
the basis of a one-sided presentation of facts in
the daily press, may it not be that some Of the
blame must be laid right back at the doorstep OF
the hard-working national chairman, Mr.. Basil
OConnor?
But however that may be, let's be glad that
a most promising new method Of treatment is
getting all possible backing.

PATTERNS OF THE COMING PEACE

NOW THAT we are well along the road to vic
= tory in Europe there is great to-do about what
kind of peace we shall try to bring about. Walter
Lippmann has written most interesting book on
our foreign policy or lack thereof and the Repub-
cans have held meeting on an island, in an
effort to write down something that will stand as
IA policy. Secretary Hull has taken to the air to
offer us his Interpretation. What we shall get
probably will be like none of the programs yet
offered, because when we get right down to it,
compromise will modify everything now in mind.
I'm the making Of the peace what the United
States wants will be modified by what is wanted
by England, Russia and China and you can lay a
bet that what some OF these nations want Will be
a long, long way from what we want.
Some of our present authorities seem to string
along with the alliance idea while others go for
like a League Of Nations Practically
eVeryone agrees that we must have some kind
of international agreement, so that another war
may not blossom on the ruins of this That
any international agreement is bound to cost US
seems so evident that it shouldn't need
Ito be stated. But not all understand that and
when they are confronted with the price they
balk and talk about safeguarding OUR sover-
Ieignty and our freedom Of action. Every kind of
organized law and order costs somebody some
Thing and restricts somebody's freedom to do
What he pleases. Order is never free. Safety IS
never free. Freedom is never without its cost Let
Ius not be 50 silly as to think that we can get all
1.-THE rest of the world to pay while we merely ride
Iaong on a. gorfied sightseeing trip in a safe and
democratic world while other nations pay the
freight.
1t is well to think of these issues that must
Iarise as victory comes nearer. We have not been
accustomed to thinking overly much about for
Iegn policy. We have liked to think of letting the
Irest of the world alone and demanding that it let
fus alone. But the day Of national or continental
Isolation is gone forever The Wright brothers
Isewed the seed for that at Kitty Hawk and that
seed has come to full flower While we think and
make up our minds on the pattern for the peace
we must not let up one iota in efforts to win
the war as speedily as possible. The rules Of war
IstiIl must govern our lives We must keep our
backs bent to the burden of production and of
Everything that goes to make up the enormous
load we shall have to carry until the last shot has
been fired. Today's job is still the job Of WAR
land there can be no let-doWn We must think and
plan for tomorrow, but we must do it on the run.
We can't STOP TO think.

REFORM LONG PAST DUE

S'EUMAN rights and human needs are above
hA budgets" Gov. Ellis AlnalI of Georgia said
in calling the legislature into session to reform
thc states medieval prison SYSTEM In that sen
tencc the Governor revealed q viewpoint long held
by organized labor, which has always placed
humanityS S rights above the dollars rights.
Gov. Alnall was replying to politicians who he
predicted would oppose the special Legislative seS-
sion ON the ground that it was 4 needless expense.
But he declared prison reform was urgent and
indicated the states prison system as mhuman.
He SAID that Georgia had denied prisoners the
treatment any man must have and cited facts to
prove his charge.
Georgia's prison system, with its notorious
chain Gangs, has long been infamous an exam
pc of what a prison system should not be and it is
good news that a determined effort is on to change
lit for the better. 1t can stand lot of improve
mcnt as can also the prison system of other
StatcS, both north and south.

FREEING WOMAN, JUDGE HITS
METHODS OF OPA AGENTS

Philadelphia ULNS). - Mrs. Mar

accused of illegal possession of ration
stamps, was freed in Federal court
here when Judge George A. Welch
ruled that none of the evidence OBJ
tanned by Office of Price Administra-
ton agents against the woman could
be admitted as evidence.
Judge Welsh denounced as "tOtally
un-American and wholly dangerous"
the methods used by OPA agents to
obtain evidence against Mrs. Guargla.
The woman said the agents entered
her apartment without II warrant and
that they held her behind locked doors
in the OPA offices for 4 hours after
she was arrested.

So now, there seems to be talk of
repeating pay-as-you-go and giving us
back our old tax plan, plus some new
ideas.
The story is that the new plan has
cost the taxpayers so much in fees to
experts that it just isn't worth the
price.
Well, it HAS cost a lot of money
which taxpayers might better have
turned in to the Treasury.
Even lot of those who voted for
the present law found, when they came
to make out their tax estimates, that
they had to call for expert help. And
some of the experts admit that maybe
they are wrong, too.
1t has been a mess. A very sorry
mess, indeed.
That's what came of mixing political
wire pulling with a purely fiscal prob
lem.
One commentator suggests that may
be We'll get 10 per cent sales tax,
plus national lottery.
But let's ask this question: Isn't it
possible to revamp the pay-asyou-go
plan so it won't be so complicated?
Can't it be done by using plain,
straight, honest sentences, instead of
the befuddling phrases now used on
income blanks? Can't there be Il
straight and understandable tax, with
out the tormenting forgiveness fea
ture, which has put more doubts in
more minds than anything that's come
to us in long while?
Isn't there some understandable
basis for taxing on a current basis,
without getting tangled up in plans
and phrases that stump even the eN-
perts? 1t would seem possible.
In desperation people probably
would take any plan, to escape the
quicksand and quagmire features of
the present law. They'd undoubtedly
take a sales tax on the ground that
it requires no keeping of complicated
books and records and no gOSh-aWful
struggle to figure out what they owe
Uncle Sam.
They'd probably take that, even
even though it would cost them more.
Many and many a person goes
through months of mental torture for
fear the income tax hasn't been made
out properly and the fear, under the
current law, is lust about multiplied
by 100.
What we need is more straight for
ward thinking, and fewer curves.
What we need is more writing of
laws that don't need experts to inter
pref them.
| Perhaps we get laws that go around
curves and corners because we elect
men with minds that work that way.
We all know men who never will
say yes" or mo- if they can find an
elongated sentence that seems to say
yes" or no without actually say
| ing it.
There are those who like to be OBJ
scure in speech and in writing.
There are some who like things that
way.
But the average man or woman
| likes it straight from the shoulder, in
one and two-syllable words.
Could Congress, do YOU think, write
us that kind of a tax law, 50 that
everyone who can read would know
| Just what to do. and how?
1t COULD be done, but past per-
formanceS doesn't lend us much hope
| that il will be done.
At least, not unless enough people
rise up and demand an end to curva-
lure of the spine in the laws that come
| from CongreSS-CAlW.

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

Magnitude of the task or reSeCCilnS
peoples uprooted by the waI<is EN-
phasized by the international Labor
Office in it's recent study of forced
displacement of European populations.
In view of the fact that the 1LO
estimates that grand total of more
than 40 million men, women and chill
dren have been forced to leave their
homes, some million of which have
been torn from their native soil, it is
plain that the job of returning them
to their homes will require the greatest
possible amount of international col
laboration and organization.
"In some cases." the LILO study says,
repatriation will be the obvious solu-
ton. The vast majority of the people
concerned will ask nothing better
But, it adds, international organization
will be necessary to overcome the tre-
mendOus difficulties which repatriation
on so large a scale will meet in a
shattered Europe.
Moreover, the study points out, labor
requirements in postwar Europe will
not necessarily correspond to the pre-
war distribution of the European popu-
latiOn and some redistribution of labor
between countries may therefore be
necessary if full employment is to
exist.
This kind of geographical distribu-
ton of labor, like repatriation" 1t
says, ''would call for action on an
international scale 1t would call for
nothing less than organization of an
international employment service"
The United States will undoubtedly
be called upon to take big part in the
reSettlement program, with conse-
quent further increases in its tax
burden and in the demands placed
upon its food and other productive
facilities.
How far are the people of the United
States willing to go in this? 1t will
be the part of wisdom for our govern
ment to know, before it commits the
nation to any vast scale of aid in re,
settlement of displaced Europeans.
Prof. Eugene M. Kulischer, who pre-
pared the ILO study discusses another
matter of direct interest to the United
States. That is the question of emf
grafton in the solution of European
reSettlement. The reSettlement prob
lem cannot be wholly solved by Euro
pean measures, Kulischer says. Many
Europeans, he predicts, will be in
duced by various reasons to emigrate
overseas after the war to build new
lives for themselves.
"The political, economic and moral
reconstruction of Europe he says
depends on whether these centrifugal
forces can find an outlet"
This is to say there will be great
pressure for emigration of Europeans
to various nations of the New World
including, of course, the United States
This country has adopted a policy OF
strict limitation of immigration. Or
| ganiZed labor, one of the chief sup
portcrS of limited immigration, vii
have something to say on the matter
| it is certain.
