REJECTION OF
ISOLATTONISM

WASHINGTON. CFP) - Mailing the
election results as a triumph for labor.
AFL Pres. William Green said Nov. 8
the American people have overwhelming
ly rejected isolationism and endorsed by
reclamation the goals Of quick victory

upon International cooperation"
To attain the goals Of a speedy VIC
tory and a postwar program OF economic
security with jobs for all. Americans must
forget and forgive campaign antagonists

Der of candidates endorsed by the AFL
in accordance with its non-partisan po-

Race Against Time-And SOcialism

Expansion of non-profit voluntary plans for prepayment of hospital and doctor bills Is continuing at pace that demon startes beyond a doubt the practicabil- ity of such plans. In the first six months of 1944, 1,754,000 additional Americans enrolled in single system providing pre- paid hospital service, known as the Blue Cross. Total membership of this organ ization is now nearing 15,000,0 exclus- i've of the 50,000 members serving in the armed forces. More than 1,011,000 per- sons, as of July 1, were also members of medical service plans coordinated With the Blue Cross.
 These medical plans pay the doctors or surgeons bill for any person hospital ized by illness, injury, or who needs ma ternity care. Hundreds of other medical plans, wholly apart from the Blue Cross, set up by the medical profession, operate according to the same non-profit public welfare principles,
 Despite the fact that millions of Ameri. cans are included in the protection of these various plans, the movement IS young. It Is truly an example of the inspired effort free people are capable of putting forth. A race has developed between those who are fighting to pre- serve the traditional American medical system which is founded upon individual freedom and opportunity, and those who seek to destroy that system and establish socialized medicine under what may one day become a socialized form of govern men.
 Medicine is meeting the challenge of an alien political philosophy with the most powerful weapon at It's command - unexcelled service.
