DIR. JAMES AND WORKMAN JONES

| that his real debt to the doctor is
astronomically greater than $3.50. II
is in fact a debt which he, common
laborer, can never hope to pay, since
only an equivalent service-plus vari
Gus intangibles - could finally dis
charge I say he understands this
and he understands further that com
mon custom is giving him the priv.
ilege of protecting his sense of his
personal worth by means of token
discharge of his debt. By paying the
doctor $3.50 he buys the right to look
him in the eye and to feel that he
remains his own master. That is all
it amounts to.
Up to that point, then, all is well.
But when Jones talked with DR..
James about his child's illness, the
doctor rebuked him for his delay.
'In these Matters he said kindly, but
with stern glance, sit. is best to
let the doctor decide what the symp-
toms means" And now there is a
question in Jones mind-a question
which keeps him awake at night
Suppose others in his family should
need medical attention while he still
has this bill to payl Suppose some
thing were to happen to several of
them within short time! His own
earnings his job lasts-amount
to rs cents an hour. The doctors
charges run right around $500 an
hour. How much can you buy with
rs cents, of services that run into
that kind of money?
There is no question here of the
soundness of the doctors advice.
There is no question of the value of
his services. There is no question of
willingness to pay. The only question
is the bedrock question of possibility
"a question that haunts the poor
like a specter all the days of their
lives The thing a man must do has
got to be a thing man CAN do.
And there is no answer here but the
stark and unequivocal answer:
1T is MANIFESTLY NOT POS
SIBLE.
Carry on from there.

Sen. MURRAY
DISCUSSES
EMPLOYMENT

Sen. James e. Murray, chairman
of the senate small business commit
tee and co-sponsor of the Full En-
ployment bill (S.3S0) called upoI
American businessmen to study THU
employment legislation for the pur
pose of suggesting improvement of iti
terms or alternative means of meeting
the job problem.
In his address before the Chicago
lreconversion conference of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers
today, the senator indicated that be-
tween and million persons will
be released from war production and
the armed forces. These persons will
have to have jobs and the only way
to provide them is through intelligent
planning on the part of government
and industry working together, the
senator said
Furthermore, the senator said: 1.-THE
second and final stage of recover.
sion will begin when Japan is de-
feated. We must then be prepared
for war production cut-backs that will
btoPAlSC at iteiot llfO lliiiiiOi WI hCl ..
We must also be prepared for the re-
lease of probably five million men
from the armed forces during the
very first year of rehabilitation"
Senator Murray recalled that last
December he and President Truman,
while still senator, submitted a re-
port to the senate containing the fol-
lowing statement in connection with
war contracting and employment:
Almost half of the framework
supporting this giant structure con-
sists of war contracts. When war
contracts are withdrawn, the danger
is that the entire edifice will topple
over
Unless an economic substitute is
found for war contracts mass unem-
ployment will become serious
threat and the number of unem-
ployed men and women in this coun-
try might easily surpass anything
that was dreamed of during the last
depression"
In order to help meet this problem,
Senator Murray said that early this
year he and Senators Robert f. Wag-
ner (N.Y.) Ebert d. Thomas (Utah),
and Joseph c. O'Mahoney (Wyo.) in
troduced the Full Employment bill
which provides that the federal gov

ARTHUR STORM

Debate over the various schemes
which are inaccurately Jumped to-
gether under the head of "socialized
medicine" has been going on for
long time; and so far the best argu
ments on both sides have come from
doctors. When a doctor shudders at
the thought of political control OF
medicine, the sensitive layman can
only shudder with him; for political
control of much less important things
is bad enough. But when the doctor
sends you his bill, he himself pre-
sents you with the most powerful
argument for socialized medicine that
has yet been thought up.
A doctors bill is most curious
thing. 1t. never reflects more than re-
motely the real value of the service
rendered On the one hand if the
doctor is incompetent his services are
infinitely worse than valueless. On
the other hand, good doctor can do
things for you of a value quite be-
yond computation.
How, for example, do you find the
equivalent in dollars OF what your
own child's life means OF you?
Nevertheless a doctors bill remains
the strongest single argument for any
scheme, whether of socialized medi-
cine, group insurance, or whatever,
that will help to protect the ill and
the injured from ruinous debt. Let
me try to make the reader under
stand exactly what l mean.
Jones is laborer and James is a
doctor. Jones earns $50 a week and
supports a family of six. One of his
children becomes violently i'll, and
Jones rushes to DR.. James for help.
DR.. James performs a swift and mas
terly emergency operation. The child
lives.
DIR. James, besides being skillful
surgeon, is a decent human being.
He could collect 5000 or even 5000,
but he holds his bill down to $3.50.
Jones, too, is a decent fellow, not
without intelligence. He understands

$730,000,000 represented &C

concern themselves with the practical
means of solving the problem of char
ity by eliminating the sources of in
lection and disease. The basic ques-
ton is economic and social In the
business world the solution of this
problem, is found, to my mind, in the
Cooperative Movement, and in it
alone"
Jacob Baker, who was chairman of
the Presidents Commission of Inquiry
on Cooperative Enterprise in Europe,
said that co-operatives offer the best
corrective to cartels in Europe. "Al
over Europe cooperative enterprise
has met and dealt with cartels . :.
Whether it was binder Irvine in Den
mark, galoshes or electric light bulbs
in Sweden, salt or soap in France,
the co-operatives have broken monop-
olies and brought prices to proper
levels. In Britain and Europe
nothing but the Cooperative Move
ment is in sight to protect the world
and us as part of it from the effects
of rapidly developed international
cartelization of great segments of in
dustry"
Larry Rogin, educational director of
the Textile Workers Union of Amer
lea, urged co-operatives to see more
of the forest than the two pine trees.
Most co-operators regard as THE
answer to economic ills, and fail to
see the Importance of trade unionism
or political action. Among both
trade unionists and co-operators there
is an attitude of either-or' rather than
one of 'both-and which is needed if
we are to see the rapid extension of
the Cooperative Movement among in
dustrial workers."
The editor of the CO-OPERATOR
expressed the belief that protection
of the consumer in legislative action
requires the understanding organiza-
ton of consumers themselves in addi-
ton to the goodwill of some legisla-
tors.

NEGRO COLLEGES HAVE
FAILED, SAYS DR..
EDWIN R. EMBREE

ATLANTA, June 13 (ANP)-
Charging that Negro colleges are
failing in the fundamentals Of edu-
cation, DR.. Edwin.R. Embree, presi-
dent of the Rosenwald fund, Chi
cago, in addressing Atlanta Uni
versity's 108 graduates, declared,
'They are not much better than
other American colleges"
''True, they have greatly expand
ed within the past 20 years." he
said, "but they have not deepened.
They have made advances in the di-
rection of informative education,
but they have done very little in the
direction of creative education.
"It is of no use," DR.. Embree
pointed out, "that we teach children
that education is all work; there
are certain fundamentals that must

leges achieved great success in
these skills. But this has been lost
with the passing Of the years."
Making several recommends
tions by which Negro colleges may
lift themselves from the present rut
in which they find themselves, the
speaker said were he head of such
an institution: II would secure the
finest possible teachers to be men,
bers of my faculty. l would see to
it that third of my faculty were
white men and women and some of
these would have to be foreign

teachers were members of teachers
unions and would seek to prepare
myself, not as an Americen Negro,
but as an American for the world
that is coming"
In his closing words, DR.. Embree
deplored the tendency Of some few
Negroes to exhibit fascism as rank
as that found in countries where
armies are fighting now. 'Unfor-
tunately," he said, Negroes in this
country are beginning to show as
many unlovely qualities as other

One of the most entertaining
films to come from the Motion Pic
ture Studios during the past several
years is the feature Fighting
Americans"
This full length picture deals ex-
clusively with the activities of our
soldiers (men and women-boys
and girls)-in the war against Ger
many and Japan. It is really his
tory of the participation of Colored
Americans in the present conflict.
Six months in the making, under
Government supervision, it is an
authentic production.
In many theatres where it has
been shown, patrons have seen
members of their own families, or
friends right before them "on the
screen" Perhaps some one you may
know may be in this picture.
"Fighting Americans" will go a
long way toward bettering inter-
racial relations. This splendid fea-
ture is scheduled at the Palace

day, June 18th and 18th. To COM
plete the program there will also be
shown "Three of Kind" with
