Remarkable Medical Progress

In the confusion of political proposals to bring medical and hospital service to all the people, progress that has been made along those lines is apt to be over. looked. At the present time, one out ot every eight Americans pays his hospital bill in advance through non-profit plans serving the populations of 42 states, 7 Canadian provinces, and Puerto RICO. This number is increasing rapidly, as the public becomes aware of the facilities that are available.
 The hospital bill which one person out of every ten in America has each year, averages $75. And another $75 is the usual cost of physician, surgeon, and spe- cial nurse Many of the plans which pro- vide for prepayment of hospital bills are coordinated with medically sponsored plans which pay doctor bills for hospital cases.
 American initiative is meeting the health problems of the nation on prac- tical, inexpensive, and voluntary basis. That is the American way and is prefer able to the idea of compulsion under so- cialized medical plans.

Fair Exchange

The War Department has replied to a complaint of Rep. John E. Anderson of California that American soldiers in France, under present arrangements with the French government, are getting only one-fifth as many francs as their dollars would bring them on the open market.
 The Army spokesman told MT. Ander- son that soldiers are receiving full pay in United States dollars GOT the equivalent thereof in legal tender local currency" He also explained the causes of high prices in France. But he did not seem to dispute the congressman's charges.
 The question still seems to be whether a soldier, if he got dollars instead of francs from the Army paymaster, could go to bank and legally get five times as many francs as he is receiving now. II this is so, then surely new exchange arrangement should be made with the French government After all, prices are just as high for the soldier on leave In Paris as they are for the correspondent, the Red Cross worker, or anyone else With dollars in his pocket.

But they will know that they are sul- len and resentful types who would re- sume criminal life if released. So they do not hesitate to confine them for the duration of their sentences.
 Confining criminal nation is not SO simple as putting murderer in jail. But the principle is the same. So far safety, not for vengeance, we should preserve for our children the full record of the Japs' and Germans brutal crimes against world society. And we should remind them, by all possible means, of the dangers which abandonment of watchfulness and con- trol would invite.

Justice, Not Martyrdom

An official of the Socialist Labor Party has revealed the divergent histories of five of it's members who refused to bear arms in "capitalistic war" One was released from the Army. Another was sent to conscientious objectors' camp. Two more were given non-combatant duties The fifth and most famous, Pvt. Henry Weber, is under sentence of life imprisonment. Weber originally was sentenced to death, but the sentence was commuted after considerable public clanor. It seems to us that both prece- dent and circumstances warrant fur ther Tightening of his punishment. Ac- cording to the evidence made public, Weber did not try to evade the draft. Apparently he explained his conScien- tious objection first to his draft board, then to his officers. His refusal to drill was accompanied by no violence.
 Of course the Army cannot condone such conduct as Weber's But neither can it claim that Webers punishment fits the crime, in view of some other punishments that have been dealt out. For example, the soldier black marketers of gasoline in France received lighter Sen- tenceS than Weber, even though their activities seriously hampered the war agalnSG Germany at parClcularly crlCl- cal time.
 The Weber case stresses the need of 8 uniform policy toward conscientious ob- jectors by both draft boards and mili- tary officials. It also reveals rather alarming disinclination of military court to temper disciplinary action with common sense and common humanity. We don't blame the court for being angry with Weber. We don't think the reasons behind his breach of discipline are in the least admirable. But the cir cumstances of his crime do not merit his loss of freedom for the rest of his life. Nor does the importance of the case merit making it into another Sacco and Van Zetti or Tom Mooney martyrdom-which it is likely to become if the Army goes through with it's present sentence of Weber.

Views Of The Press

Poet Laureate, and Lieutenant Gov ernor Wilbert Snow is reported to be disturbed lest citizens thinl- he wants the job. Governor Baldwin, who Is a little stronger on prose than poet ", is said to be unoppoSed to this new post, but not altogether con- vlnced of the need.
 Ii such a position be created. it will pose numerous vexing problems Fer example, would the poet laure- ate be expected to be nonpartisan in his verses? Professor Odell Shep- herd is no mean poet. But If he should be named, it might be diffi- cult, we suspect, to keep poetry and the more mundane working of pol. itics strictly divorced. Another point would be whether the Governor would have exclusive right to the poetic products, or whether the poet laureate might have to double in brass by writing couplets for the General Assembly.
 One can well imagine how the daily journal that -ecords the doings of the House and Senate would be frightened If each day 1t contained a comet, or even just bit of verse, combining contemporary doings with high political thought. We offer the following, not to set the metrical standard but to amplify the Idea:

KNOW THE GOLDEN RULE
 OF HYGIENE

Research workers, subsidized per- haps by commercial interests, from time to time report their observa" lions that the air and various sur- faces in a hospital ward or m . sickroom are contaminated py Dac- terial strains which are recognizeo as a frequent cause of serious acute respiratory infections.
 That is interesting in 2 sclenu- fic way. It does not satisfactorily explain epidemics or even casual instances of such infection.
 Even without discounting the evl- dence to allow for the possible olas by subAdy-this bias tingeS much modern medical science-1 can't for the life of me comprehend why hospital ward, a sickroom, den- tist's office, 8 surgical operating room or any other room should be equipped with gadgetry for ultra violating the atmosphere or for va porizing or spraying with some newfangled germicide.
 Attempts to disinfect the air or surfaces or furniture or believers can have little if any influence on the spreading of respiratory 1n1ec- ton, The virus or germ of the di- sease is present in the moisture spray given oil from nose ana mouth when the person with the ol- sease coughs, sneezes or talks. ln- yisibly fine droplets of moisture, carrying the germs or virus, lodge upon the face, lips, nose or mouth of the victim who happens to be within spray range-unless a suit able mask Is worn by one or botn persons to prevent tlSis happening.
 Even If ultraviolet light or propy- lene glycol vapor in the air kills some bacteria, 1t is unlikely that the bacteria or virus in such mols- ture droplets can be so destroyed 1n the fraction of second they are in the air.
 Moreover there is no convincing evidence that respiratory infections (including pneumonia. diphtheria. scarlet fever, measules, pulmonary tuberculosis, epidemic meningitis, infantile paralysis, smallpox, infiu- enza and other less serious di- seases) or for that matter com- municable disease of any kind, is air-borne. So far as we know all of these respiratory infections, par ticularly the so-called disease of childhood'' (for childhood gets a bad break) are spread almost ex- clusively in mouth-spray droplets. and only rarely if at all through mere contact with surfaces contam- mated by the germs or virus. So we can no longer deceive our selves or our neighbors about this. If we are honest about 1t we must admit that it is a reprehensible of- fence for a person with any on- coming illness of this kind to asso- ciate with other persons unless he years mask-and lest you assume this doesn't apply to you let me explain that by any on-coming illness of this kind any indisposi- ton you may wish to think or wish your associates to think is "just a little cold"
 The golden rule of hygiene is: Wear a suitable mask If you will not remain isolated when you have any such illness.

of England Cousin" finds It hard to get off the public payroll. He now has a $4,0o0 job with the Veterans Administration. ROOTIN-TOOTIN'
 CONGRESSMEN
 The two most rabid, ranting, rip-roaring CongreSSmen on Capl- tol Hill are Rankin of Mississippi and Hoffman of Michigan. Though one is a Democrat, the other a Republican, they see eye to eye on most things.
 But the other day during the debate on the agricultural census Silent" John Rankin tried to win over some Republican votes for the bill. Addressing himself to the Republicans. the one-track- mind Misisssippian whose one lih- eral stand is for IVA and rural identification talked about the proportion of Amenican farm homes served with electricity.
 Suddenly Rankin's Republican counterpart, rootin' -tootin' Clare Hoffman, jumped up to interrupt.
 We like to follow the gen. tleman. We just love him." he said, "but we cannot so along with everything"
 Let me say to the gentle man from Michigan that 58 per cent of the farm homes in Michigan are without electricity today" Rankin shot back.
 But" Hoffman replied, "Our farmers can read and white, and that is more than yours can dO."
 "If your farmers can read in the dark" Rankin replied, "what could they, do if they had lights?"
 But 1t was all in fun. Shortly afterward Rankin and Hoffman were strolling arm in arm thorugh the House lobby.
