II has been a slow progress,
due to many factors, but the
latest squirt in improvement is
probably due TO the introduce
ton Of the sulfa drugs in puer-
peral sepsis, or childbed fever.
II was 100 years ago that the
first attempts to influence the
mortality and deliberately at
tempt to save women's lives in
the period of childbirth were
begun.
In 1S43 q young doctor "a
years old named Oliver Wendell

young mothers died shortly

Naturally. his statements
aroused a Juror of resentment
among the medical profession.
But gradually with the ac-
emulation of evidence came ac-
ceptancs, especially after the
Viennese obstetrician. Semmel-
weiss, showed that by dipping
the hands in chlorinated lime
solution the doctor rendered
himself fairly safe to attend a
mother in labor.
With the introduction OF sur
gical gowns, sterilized instru-
ments, rubber gloves, etc, the
obstetrician prepares himself as
carefully for his duties as the
surgeon does for an abdominal
or other operation.

cies, the collapse of governments
and the establishment of
youth which had fought q war
in vain led TO a revolution
against freedom.
This much the present war
has so far proven: The indi-
vidual willingly ecom - in
creasingly enslaved to the state;
the small national and economic
units will be absorbed by the
greater; freedom for the indi-
vidual is being curtailed in all
the world; the mastery of ma
tons Is held in coalition by
three individuals representing
the three most effective military
and economic units. Historically,
the reelection of Franklin D.
Roosevelt confirms this revolu-
ton.

THE in dustria revolution
Il marked the end Of the eco
nomic, the american and
French revolutions of the politi-
cal aspects of feudalism.
Freedom became the exalted
goddess of the masses; indi-
vidual liberty. the aspiration Of
every people.
The divine right Of kings, the
q heaven-designated superiority
of one individual over another
was discarded in country after
country until what is so roughly
I called democracy was pro-
eclaimed even in such countries
as China. Turkey and Russia.
Along with the stimulation Of
individual freedom, and in
many ways supporting it eco
nomically, came a vast imperial
4 expansion for raw materials,
! markets and national prestige.
Small European countries
owned enormous colonial areas.
r To maintain and safeguard
these required the maintenance
Of armies and navies and the
cultivation of national pride
and aspirations.
The stimulation of national
Z ism In the larger countries was
reflected In nationalistc move
ments In small countries, prov
I inces, and even among groups
whose only claim to differentia-
ton was linguistic or religious.
This led to revolutions and
civil wars In the name Of lib
erty and nationalism with con-
sequent disintegration of large
political and economic units.
And while liberal opinion sup
ported every aspiration for free
dom, 1t produced no program
against the dissection of Europe
into such small entities which
could not support themselves or
their people.
NOR did all the progress Of
~ this century of freedom
find an antidote for mans most
poignant and malignant disease
war.
True, efforts were made to
find q road to peace. but no
proposal, not the Hague Tri-
bunal, not the League Of Ma
tons, not the world court
recognized that war Is inherent
In the nationalism and eco
Monies Of European society.
In fact, on the verge Of the
first world war, Europe was
hopelessly involved in q deva-
stating race for ornaments, in
an overwhelmingly costly strug-
gle for colonies and In q triumph
of differentiation which made
those who for centuries had
been friendly neighbors, the Bit
terest of enemies over such
trivialities a dialects, local Gus

even more over sccesses to

DEAR F. NJ:
YOUR husbands rejoinder to

death has the ring Of expedi-
sncy.
When we take into considera-
ton the moral responsibility
OF his thrust at you-at this
time when you are experiencing
a poignant sorrow which he, II
his instincts were right, would
compassionately share-we
know that he is resorting to
scheming sophistry in arguing
that his wish TO discard you has
its roots in a dominant urge for
fatherhood.
The man who is truly en-
bowed with a genuine desire for
fatherhood is invariably distin-
guished by a kindly protective
attitude.
Thus, your husbands per-
Torrance is a complete contra
diction of his pretensions-and
exposes him as a shallow. unsta-
bic egoist and tricky hypocrite
psychologicaiiy -Hhpfepared- to
put his hand TO the plow and
behave responsibility in the roles
Of either husband or father.
For advice: Open your mind
to the unmistakable meaning of
your husbands callous stand
and let him go.
II would be degrading COM

besides, TO delay decisive action.
after he has spiritually Quilted

In support OF self-respect and
to sidestep the torture OF futile
suspense. grant him a divorce

have an idea he saw through
my pretense. These Russians
can be very suspicious.
So / had to read about il in
the papers. II was fascinating
reading because all the society
addresses in town practically
wallowed in adjectival phrases
up to their low-backed gowns
describing ii.
One of them, at least, must
have been out of breath after
writing her opening paragraph.
This was it-one sentence:
Twenty-Five hundred guests
presented their gold-crested en-
graved invitations at the door
of the Soviet embassy yesterday
and slowly filed up the maroon
carpeted marble stairway past
the fine painting Of the Great
October Revolution, the ami
versary of which was celebrated
yesterday, TO be received by the
ambassador of the Union of So
Wet socialistic Republics and
Nine Gromyko."
Whewl
Soviet diplomats, including
Ambassador Gromyko, displayed
for the first time in Washington
tho elaborate uniforms recently
decrecd by the kremlin for the
Russian foreign service. Their
double-breasted black suits were
heavily decked with gold leaves
and each displayed . 10-inch
ivory encased dagger.
THE dining room table was
decorated with . six-foot cake
fashioned in tho shape Of . six
pointed star. There were whole
roasted piglets - lots Of 'em.
There were whole roasted tur-
keys-doZens Of EN-. There
were baked hams-dozens Of
'em. The Russians are certainly
not wanting red points,"
I HAVE no idea what the dag
L gers were for. Maybe in case
a Republican tried to crash.
Anyway. / understand there was
no bloodshed.
The only thing that made me
sad was the news that there was
no caviar. Imagine throwing q
party and having to fall back on
a lot Of measly piglets, turkeys
and baked hams! I don't think
the sheer horror Of war was
ever brought home TO me so
forcibly.

IF THE boycott had not re-
L ceived resounding endorse
ment from Felix Frankfurter of
the Supreme Court. the most
influential philosopher Of the
New Deal, I would hesitate to
offer the proposal which is the
subject Of today's essay.
Briefly, that proposal is that
those Americans who oppose
Mr.. Rooseveft'S c o m m n I
friends should shun products
which are advertised on the air
by performers who are either
Communists or unmistakable
fellow travellers and avoid
movies and plays produced by
such people or which employ
them as actors or musicians. In
palmer words, the boycott.
uOW do you decide whether a
IL ham of the air, the screen or
the stage is Communist?
Frankfurter invites to
make arbitrary decisions and to
boycott as a Communist any one
whom we, individually, suspect
OF being a Communist.
Frankfurter declared himself
specifically in the so-called
cafeteria case in which union
of restaurant workers picketed
a place in New York whose
owners were law-abiding citi-
zens and taxpayers and did all
the work themselves.
The union tried to compel the
