The best assurance a baby has
for life, health and happiness
is healthy parents. For this rea-
son many states have passed a
law requiring men and women
to have a physical examination
by a physician. including a
blood test for syphilis, and to
present certificate showing
that they are free from this dis
ease before they marry. This is
a wise precaution because peo-
pie who are suffering from Sc
rious diseases or defects which
might affect their children
should not become parents.
The next step in making the
world safe for the baby is early
and continuous medical super
vision of the mother, from the
time she knows baby is COM
ing until he is born. The mother
is not always able to recognize
signs indicating that she is not
well, but the physician usually
detects these and starts treat
ment before the abnormal con-
dition becomes serious.
MISTAKEN ECONOMY
Parents who have not select
ed family physician may ask
the county medical society, the
health department or a social
agency to suggest a list of the
names of physicians whose
standing in the community is
good, from which they may
choose one who specializes in
mother and baby care.
Some mothers neglect to 90
to physician because they
think they cannot afford to pay
his charges. This is not only
mistaken economy, but is I'M
fair to the child as we'll as to the
mother. Good physicians are
usually willing to adjust their
prices to the ability of the FAM
lily to pay, if they know in adj
vance what the financial cir
cumstances are.
The pros pective parents
should 60 to the physician rs
soon as they know a baby is
coming and find out what his
charges would be for supervis-
ion of the mothers health before
and at the time of the baby's
birth. This gives them enough
time to plan how the medical
and hospital care will be financ-
ed, saves worry and maintains
the dignity and independence of
the family.

MAPPING GERMANY'S FUTURE

The question Of hard or soft peace for Ger
mony is already oetotne the British public occord-
ina to reports from London just it will eventually
engage the serious attention Of the American Peo-
pie.
It is question which must be decided on the
bosis of whether the Germans, given q bad deol in
the Lost peace turned to leader who eventually VIC
tn1ized them, or whether Hitler simply ePitomized
q biqotry, brutality and insufferobIe racial eeoism
which has characterized the German national tenn
perment for generations, if not for centuries.
The outcome Of that decision will have noolcul-
able results and it is unfortunate that the decision
must be reached by nebulous routes. But there is
nothing to 90 except on Interpretation OF post his
tory and prediction Of Germonys political, eco
nomic and ethical influence on the future, offered
by the proponents Of hard soft peace the boss
Of theology and purely personal bios.
One thing however, would probably be admitted
by both camps: A hard peace would rose more diff
cuIties than one Of mider TERMS 1t would mean long
occupation and constant vigilance. 1t would mean re-
adjusting Europe to q new economic scheme in which
Germany once the continents industrial and scen-
tfic leader, would be minor, decentroized coun-
try.
1t would be easier to argue that there could be
no prosperous Europe without prosperous Germany,
to maintain thot Allied bombs and shells had
ed the threat Of German Menace to blame all Ger
nnonys sins her departed leaders and to help Ger
many to regain her former dominant position.
This, it seems to U.s. would be not only on easier,
but on infinitely dangerous But the de-
csion is not any newspapers or citizens. 1t
is necessarily decision for the heads Of the occupy
ing governments, which ought to be settled at an
early meeting.
The policy Of German peace terms like the pol
icy Of the United Nations organization, rests on
agreement Of the big powers. This must come through
argument and compromise, and it would be we'll if
those processes we're started soon. y
The formal peace conference may be long de-
Ioyed. Meanwhile Europe seethes with trouble and
confusion. 1t might the situation if Messrs Tru
man, Churchill, Stolin and De Gou|Ie could decide
down which road Germonys way lies and stort her
travelling it.

The renewed interest in Hen
ry James springing from the Gel.
ebration of the Tooth anniver-
sary of his birth will not only
delight the small, erudite CO.
terie Of James fans, but doubt
less will bring new pleasure to
those who have neglected him
because of his reputed austerity.
That he is austere, there can be
no challenge, but that he also
has other values to provoke, en-
terrain and enlighten cannot be
gainsaid.
AS a guide, F. o. Matthies-
sens Henry James: The Major
Phase" (Oxford) serves'to di-
rect attention to James stronger
points. 1t also serves to interpret
some of his finer ones. Subtle,
intricate, and a man of delicate
and acute psychological percep-
ton, James is not an easy novel
ist to read, but he is a reward
ing one.
The critic Mathiessen ap-
proaches Henry James with the
basic premise that James Pc
Rod of greatest excellent began
with THE Ambassadors" pub
lished in 1902 when James was
SO. He agrees with James that
the book was his greatest work,
but his view that the two other
browning works were The
Wings of the Dove" and THE
Golden Bowl" is his own.
1t is these three volumes
which, in the main. provide
Matthiessen with his grave, per-
ceptive analysis of James in
Henry James: The Major
Phase Matthiessen probes them
enthusiastically, and then, with
fine sense of history, places
them against the background of
their times. In this, he reaches a
viewpoint rarely suggested of
James. While most critics de-
plore him as an expatriate, Mat
thiessen praises him; he suggests
James portrayals of the Amer
lean abroad are as essential n
part OF Americana as regional
fiction.
In dealing with James. Mat
thiessen was fortunate in having
the novelist's notebooks availa-
bic to him, and some of James
own assessments of himself are
as important, and interesting
reading, as are Matthiessen's.
These include James rever-
ence, for instance, for the "ar-
FORM" his swift, and
melodramatic, esti-
mates of plots. and his ever
yearning, youthful self-analysis.
For instance:

some great efforts in the next
few years if I wish not to

SITUATION is UNIVERSAL
1t is possible to talk about the
Raphael WE'LL school and Its
problems with considerable de-
tachment and tolerance. and
without upsetting any individ-
ual's pet racial or religious
prejudices, because the situation
is so universal and at the same
time so representative Of one of
the things that ais the world to-
day.
The first Chinese, a man and
his wife, came into California
less than 100 years ago. Then
ship captains brought increas-
ing numbers to supply the de-
mand for cheap labor. and to
build the first transcontinental
railroad. When they became too
numerous, the Exclusion Act
was passed in 1882. During the
next rs years the Japanese
came to supply farm labor.
World War l brought a wave of
Mexicans and Filipinos, again to
meet labor shortage. World
War II has brought the Negroes
perhaps 100000 of them as
against the 10000 Japanese,
who were moved out. Negroes
like it there. There are no Jim
Crow laws. They want to stay.
But that gives California
new racial problem which broad
gauge people hope can be
solved, without any of the
lynchings and riots that charac-
terized reactions against success
sive waves of Chinese, Japanese,
Mexicans and Filipinos when
they became social and econom-
ic competition. In recent months
there have been several moves
made to meet this new crisis be-
fore it happens.
At the Booker T. Washington
Center, near the Raphael WE'LL
school, where Negro children re-
ceive additional training for cit
izenship, there was a conference
at which Negro leaders dis
cussed their rights until one
young man got up and said,
Were doing a lot of talking
about what we want. Let's talk
about what we've got to offer
and how we can improve our
selves" This sane approach has
made the issue a lot easier.
BETTER HOUSING
NEED REALIZED
San Francisco civic groups
have begun educational cam
paigns the Commonwealth
Club, a newly-formed Council
for Civic Unity, and a Mayors
Committee. Back of them all is
the realization that better hous-
ing for minority groups is essen
tial and that segregation in
Chinatowns or similar racial
concentration where there are
property ownership and resi-
dence restrictions, merely in
crease the problem. A racially
mixed communist element, hav-
ing an emotional and glandular
reaction to everything, has been
a major disturbing factor.
On a statewide basis there
are two approaches, both repre-
sented in proposals for new
legislation. One is for a COM
pulsory fair employment bill,
modelled on New York's contro-
versial measure, the other Is an
advisory measure, calling for
the creation of commission to
study and recommend. Today
this latter seems the slower but
perhaps the safer route. There
is long process of education
before anything like racial toll
erance can be achieved.
That probably goes for the
United Nations Organization,
too.

acterization that the absence of
plot is scarcely noticed. Here is
a story of four generations of a
pioneer Seattle family, and it is
the story of how they made
their separate approaches to
life.
The Melendys were strange
and wonderful family, all the
way from Madam Exact Melen-
dy down to Mike. her great
grandson. Between the 92-year-
old matriarch and Mike there
were lot of other people -
the Madams son, Vaughan, and
his wife, Emmy; Pansy Deleath,
Dide Melendy and his wife, Lima
Port, and Regina Dresden.
Madam Exact had been some
body-in fact, still was-in Sc
attic. Her husband was among
the first settlers and whenever
there was a civic function, the
old lady was there. Her son,
Vaughan, also was somebody,
but his boy, Dixie, didn't amount
to much. He was a veteran of
World War l, and he never quite
seemed to find himself.
bikes son, Mike, however,
was made of sterner stuff. He
was of the modern generation,
one of the kids who would 60

as that was indicated. They
were cut from the same bolt of
cloth-the Madam, Vaughan and
Mike-but the rest were COM
parative weaklings. They were
Lima, and Emmy, Vaughans
wife, who found her only plea
sure was to be good house
keeper; and Pansy, who was the
mother of Vaughan's only son.
Regina Dresden, a refugee from
Europe, had her strong traits,
and she demonstrated them
when she and Mike fell in love.
Miss Ferber writes about the
play of these personalities. 1t is
a simple story that she tells
well. Characterization is para
mount in her mind and she
makes the most of it. Her
new story hasn't the body, for
example. of SHOW Boat" but it
nevertheless is good. She writes
of people of all shades of char

lievable. That is the essence of a
good novelist.

Washington, June '. (UP)-The house gave President Truman an- other major foreign policy victory today, approving the Breton Woods monetary agreements by heavy bipartisan majority.
 The vote was 345 to 18
 Approval of the measure to ratify the agreements came less than two weeks after house passage of the administrations reciprocal trade agreement bill at the end of bit ter, partisan fight.
 Unlike that measure, the Breton Woods Bill had strong support from both Republicans and Democrats. It now goes to the senate facing still uncertain future.
 The bill would authorize the United States to participate-to the extent of 16,OOO, ,OO0, ,0OO-in the proposed s8,soO 100000 monetary stabilization fund and the $9,100,- 100000 international bank Of re- constructor and development. Rep resentatives of A nations drafted the agreements last year at Breton Woods, N. H.
 Todays vote came after opponents of the bill were defeated in their final attempt to force basic change in the agreements. That attempt was made on a proposal of Rep. Jessie Sumner, R., III, which in ef- feet would have scrapped the stab ilization fund and permitted U. s. membership in the bank alone. The proposal was rejected on roll call vote of 325 to 29.
