Russia may do to help conclude the war IN

tuberculosis Association

After battling difficulties that never should
have been permitted to arise, the New Han
over County tuberculosis Association has adj
vanced its program far enough to open an
office in the Health Departments building on
Fourth street. and employ Mrs. Mary Emer'
son Buzhardt as executive secretary and Mrs
Grace Gibson on full time duty as nurse.
It is only start toward the objective,
which is to have a haven for tuberculosis
victims in the county, replacing the Red cross
Sanatorium which had to be closed when the
Army expanded Bluethenthal airfield, and IN
the meantime give persons believed 10 nave
tuberculosis X-ray examinations to determine
Their condition, and care for known victims
as we'll as possible until they can be placed
in the states hospitals.
The general excuse heard for the absence
Of a sanatorium is the war and the difficulty
of obtaining building materials, but the fact
is that the County Commission was as remlss
in pressing the sanatorium project as it has
been in correcting evils at the county home,
chiefly, must assume, because it would
have required an investment through bond
issue and an annual appropriation for mainte-
nance some members of the Commission be-
ing consttutionally opposed to spending mon
ey, even though it would come from the tax
payers, not from their private bank accounts,
and in the sanatorium case the public was
ready and willing to back the proposed bonds.
A building could have been found and re-
modelled to meet the major requirements OF
tuberculosis haven when the Red Cross
plant had to be closed and the work ar
resting tuberculosis in incipiency in many pa
tents, and giving more advanced patients
necessary care and rest have gone on, ii the
Commission had recognized its responsibility
for community health and welfare when the
case was first presented to them.
Failing in their obvious duty, as hagrantly
as they have at the County Home and in
calling an election for junior college, the
County tuberculosis Association has had to
hurdle many official barriers to make even
the slight progress represented in the open
ing of this office in the Health Departments
building. It deserves to be congratulated for
what it has done and what it will continue
to do; and it richly deserves wider public
support in its great humanitarian work.

Wide-awake Railways

Critics who in the past few years have been

way companies to stay in business after the
war against intensive competition might spare
a moment to read about the new "Smorgas-
bord of the rails" Pullman diner car, ready
for the postwar traveller. According to Ralph
Haman, engineer of the Pullman Standard Car
Manufacturing Company, this new coach VIII

Coast Guard Anniversary

Today the United States Coast Guard marks
its l55th anniversary. Established by the sec
ond act OF the first Congress of the young
republic and made law on August 4, 1880, oy
President Washington, the Coast Guard prop
erly defends it's claim to be the oldest law
fully established United States military serv-

The most widely renowned lie saving serv-
ice in the world the Coast Guard has proved
itself equally effective in war. It has served
as a fighting arm of the Navy in every war in
which the United States has been engaged

handling small craft in shore surf has been
a major factor in developing the technique
o. handling the thousands Of landing craft
which brought success to the invasions culrni-
mating in the victory in Europe and which
are now hammering the way island by island
to Tokyo. Coast Guardsmen are manning
troop transports, destroyer escorts, and many
types Of combat craft, as well as invasion
craft.
Some indie alton of the conbativeness of the
coast GCdTQ at present Is SllOWu III CilCoC

the women's reserve, the SPARS, who are

throughout the United States and the terri
tories OF the Coast Guard officers and men,
54,215 are manning 319 ships of the Navy,

Army Then there are 304 OF the Coast Guard S

these men and ships now fighting in the
Pacific.
So the Coast Guard is in the thick of it,
as usual. whether it is war when killing is
the order, or peace when the task is to pro-
tect and save lives. The tribute which the ma
ton is paying the Coast Guard today is fitting.

3.-Three reports happened to
reach my desk within few days
of each other. The first tells of the
great Scientific Congress recently
held in Russia. Representatives OF
the United States returned to tell
us that the Soviets aim to give

report to which l referred above.
What about the letter from the

Indirect Message To Japan

The commun que dealing with the delibera-
tons of the Big Three at Potsdam is written
in such broad terms that anybody may read
into it any Interpretation fitting his individual
bias, prejudice, condemnation approval, dis
gust or praise. 1t is a masterpiece of obscure
meanings.
But it contains one message to Japan which
should have some influence upon Tokyo's pol
ICY 1t distinctly says that the conquering
powers have no intention to destroy or en-
slave the German people, Although it is nee.
essary to impose hard peace upon Germany,
the Big Three declare it may be possible for
the Germans Sin due course to take their place
among the free and peaceful peoples of the
world
japan might expect the same treatment
which, in view Of Japan's crimes against or.
ganized society and civilization, is lenient.
unconditional surrender has not meant the
destruction Of the German people It is an
unfortunate term proclaimed at Casablanca by
Roosevelt and Churchill, and the war would
have ended sooner in Europe if it had never
been uttered But since it was the high-sound
ing declaration OF the then Allied leaders and
is still applied to the Japanese, who fear an
Inhalation because they have interpreted it lit
orally, it is well that the Potsdam conferee:
made plain their purpose toward the Germans
so that the Japanese may know there is M
intention to destroy or enslave them" Know
ing full well they cannot win the war the,

Harbor Japans leaders may view surrende

rr,ACx FOREST PAYMENT

It is good, Just and seasonaDle news tIo''i
Paris this week that the first 200 OF 2O,Ooo un
derprivileged and undernourished French
children nave started off for stay OF several
weeks in the Black Forest of Germany. Select
ed by the Ministry of Public Health, 1t is ex-
pected that the young army OF small 1oreste!s'
whose cheeks have been paled and bodies tnn-
ned by life in overcrowded, war damaged
homes, will thrive in outdoor days OF nil ana
valley life where they will be care1ully
looked out for by "godfathers" picked from
the French Army, within whose zone OF occu-
patton the forest lies.
It is difficult to imagine happier. healthier
place for any earth and air and food starved
child than the 100-rnile-long Black Forest re-
gion, with its green patures and vineyards,
its lower hills covered with woods of oak and
beech and ito mountains some more than g.
600 feet high. whose dark sides and summlts
have given tAe forest its name.
In all truth it can be said that Germany
owes much to French children and, indeed, to
children of other countries OF Europe. 1t is
well, then, that the Black Forest can now pay
some Of this debt - a debt rs dark as fir trees
on the Feldberg. However. with childhoods re-
silent careless happiness, the 10000 small
creditors, one knows, are likely to forget in a
which invading armies stole from them. But
if wooden toys, so long product of the region,
are still being made in the Black Forest. we
suggest that q. 900 Of these at least, might be
collected as a pre-indemnity payment to the
children of France.-New York Herald Tri-
