Unity Is Key to Chino's Ability

able to save thousands of lives In
the Chinese famines of 1912 and
1943. Famines. he emphasizes, have
been greatly augmented by the nee
essary moving of vast numbers of
persons from devastated areas.
Means of communication are diff
cult, as are mediums of transporta.
ton, but the Chinese government.
In his opinion, is making the most
of every available asset. It also is
endeavoring in the midst of its war
activities to give as much attention
as is possible to the matter of ade-
quate diets.
Seventh-Day Adventist hospitals
and dispensaries in Free China are
filled to overf1owing constantly and
there Is eager attendance at Its ag-
ricultural and trade schools for
Chinese children. But the Chinese
people have great self-respect and
dignity. No matter how humble
their station In life, If they cannot
pay, they make point Of rendering
service. No Chinese is ever refused
necessary disqualification because of
his inability to pay.
"China's uniform written Ian
guage," Mr.. Appel asserts, "is one
of the great factors in her unity of
today" He cites one instance Of
the growing interest in current af-
fairs. A Seventh-Day Adventist
monthly published in Chinese had
circulation of nearly 100000 in
Shanghai. Military necessity re-
quired abandoning the publishing
house. The monthly, however, soon
was published in Free China
through the loyalty of its Chinese
staff and within 60 days had reached
a circulation of $4,000.
This is Mr.. Appel's first visit to
Washington. He came from Chung
king by air. His wife and children
were In China with him until FIVE
years age. Mrs. Appel now is in
California. One son, Melvin C. Ap-
pei, is a sergeant in the Air Forces.
Alva, a senior In college, expects to
follow his father In evangelisic mis-
sionary work in the Orient after

FAITH IN OUR ALLIES

There have been toe many haz-
arding guesses as to when our war
with Germany will be over, in
order to fully concentrate on de-
feating the japanese. These prog
nostications are based on reasons
that wouldn't hold water if any
one of our allies would fail to CO.
operate and would refuse to carry
their load. One instance of dis
unity would throw all guessing
of wars end into cooked hat. In
fact, failure on the part of the
Allies to use the principle of
teamwork could throw the war.
Those who have been heard to
question whether Great Britain
will help us fight the japs, after
Germany has been defeated, have
been surmising under their own
power! There is no justification
for their doubts, but they just
guess again. If a definite state
ment from a representative of
that country is necessary to quiet
the minds of these doubters, Win
ston Churchil1s repeating his
pledge to the world and especially
to the American people, that the
British Empire would remain with
with us in crushing japan, should

war period. And they have no
wish to settle on them, or the
rest of the country any lnneces-
sary additions to an already stag
gering public tax load. The bill
for this reason does not contem-
plate any large cash bonus pay
ment such as the $4,000 for all
veterans asked for by a number Of
veterans organizations. The bill
provides for Increased hospital
facilities, according to the needs
of disabled veterans; settlement
of claims and other protection for
them; chance for all veterans
who wish to do so to complete
their education, if it was inter-
rupted or prevented by war; a
streamlined and effective employ
ment service; loan to aid them in
purchase of homes, farms or small
business; SO weeks of employment
compensation; vocational training;
a board to review discharges and
the placing of all government
functions for veterans under the
U. S Veterans Administration"
The last provision would mean
that veterans would have but one
place to 60 to learn of and obtain
their rights. At the close of the
last war many of them were end
lessly shunted back and forth
several bureaus when an
effort was made to discover their
rights under the law. The new
bill has wide support in Congress.

This is good news for Ameri-.
cans who have become used to
q prediction of shortage" the
moment bureaucratic planners
take control of any of our basic
industries. But that is the bu-

the people under their thumbs.
LETTERS is not bureaucratic is
a plain American business man
who is used to getting results. He
says: eve don't want the gov
eminent in business. We want
business in government"

One of the weak spots of our
popular form of government is
that the voters too often vote for
the most popular candidate who
chances to please their fancy and
not for the man who has the best
qualifications as a public official.
The back slapper and the glamour
boy gets the votes while his op-
ponent who has difficulty re-
membering faces and names and
who often would make by far the
best official can't even make q
good showing in the race. The
condition prompts the question,
do we vote for better government
or merely for a personality whom
we would like to favor by putting

lists who feel the time is short
until this combined force will
crush our enemy in the Pacific.
We feel that the leaders who tell
us that the time might not be SO
long as earlier expected, are be-
ing sensibly cautious and not so
encouraging that we desire to let
up in our efforts. The invasion

encourage the Pacific fighters to
count the days as an approach to

PINEHIJRST. NAV :

PINEHURST, May 8 The
Medical profession is furnishing
the highest type of service and is
planning a postwar program that
will make any political interior
ence undesirable, unnecessary
and not to be tolerated." DR..
James E. Paullin, of Atlanta, Ga,
president of the American Medical
Association, said today. -.
Under no circumstances, he told
the 91st annual meeting of the
North Carolina Medical Society
here, will the profession, which al
ready has furnished more than co.
600 men to the armed forces, ere
linquish its cherished freedom and
become the handmaiden of any po-
licical group"
He said the Wagner-Murray-Din-
CELL bill, pending in Congress, was
opposed by eighty-five per cent Of
the people and that 1t could be
traced not to the medical mind
but to social security experts who
know nothing about medicine"
"The American army has suffer-
ed less morbidity and f We
casualties from disease than any
other army that has ever exist
ed" he said. American health
gains have been greater than
those ever experienced by any
other peopel."
If the war lasts through 1945,
he said, there would be $4,000
young doctors in the armed SER
vices who have never engaged in
private practice. The American
Medical Association, he said, pro-
poses postwar training for these
men and a relocation program to
assure their distribution among
communities where they are most
needed.
The association also proposes to
establish post war planning
bureau, with headquarters in Chi
cago, to work in cooperation with
state and county medical societies.
This service will provide refresher
courses and other opportunities for
returning soldier-doctors, he said.
DR.. Carl V. Reynolds, state
health officer, told a joint meeting
of the society and the state bosod
of health that socialized medicine
could be combatted by what he
termed Supplemental medicine"
