Lifers Guinea Pigs
In Plague Buttle
Convicts Used in Fight on
Tropical Diseases.

TRENTON, N. J.-Behind the gray
walls Of the sprawling state prison
here, 200 convicts are paying of a
debt to society by risking possible
death in q grim, patriotic fight to
unearth q preventive against tropl'
cal diseases. Most are lifers and all
are longtime prisoners.
II they win. and their 1000 fellow
inmates are praying that they do.
their only reward will be the knowl-
edge that they helped the war effort
by wiping out plaques which men,
ace the health of fighting men on
nearly all fronts.
Seventy Of the 200 volunteers al.
ready have suffered intensely in the
experiments undertaken by the
army service forces and the Rookie
teller institute for medical research.
The results of the research in the
three-city-block prison are . closely
guarded secret. But prison officials
make no bones Of their pride. in the
men. Only few years ago bloody
revolts and escapades rocked the
prisons 10 buildings. But the set
ting was different when the army
called for volunteers from among
the ifers and other long-termers.
and these men volunteered.
Then DR.. John Paul, professor OF
medicine at Yale university. and
Maj. Albert B. Sabin, Of the army
service forces, and their STATS went
to work on the human guinea pigs. !"
Their aim was not q cure for the
diseases. The army wanted its men
immunized against the maladies
which reduce ranks, put soldiers In
beds, retard campaigns and some
times lose wars.
These men were reputedly shot
with malaria and dysentery germs.
They were subjected to projects so
secret that neither Warden Ellis nor
the researchers would talk about ex-
periments, results and progress.
Ellis admitted nearly all the vol.
umteers suffered intensely, but they
smiled through their ordeals. Many
spent 10 agonizing days in bed.
wracked by disease. and now are
convalescing satisfactorily.

The British Loan
tCincinnati Enauirerl

There time century and more ago, when British money flowed into the United States in a rather steady stream. Forgetting the quarrel which ended in the independence of the American colonies few decades earlier and looking merely opportunity for sound investment in new, prosperous and banding nation British investors supplied large part of the money that built canals early railroads and many other enterprises so vital to national growth. Not until 1918 did we cease to be debtor nation.
 The shoe is the other foot today. For many reasons chiefly arising from the two world wars Great Britain her capacity to finance other nations and is obliged to seek financial assistance abroad It is turn to lend money across the Atlantic not for canals and railroads this time, but equally constructive purposes of modernzaon and betterment that Britain once more can become solvent, pospering nation.
 After long period of delicate negotiations, the terms of a S44o00oO loan have been worked out It colossal sum- undeniaby. But it represents the volume of credits actually needed by the British to regain sound international position trading na- tion It is well within The loan as negotiated includes various provisions to insure that the money will be spent in the United States that Britain will join with in the reduction of tariffs and trade barriers and that Britain will support the Breton Woods international monetary plan.
 Urgent though the matter is, We should have ample time for careful study and debate of this pro- posal when it comes before Congress. But we shall have to be on our guard against mschievous argu- rent and misleading innuendo based only prejudice In the long run it is unmstakaby to tional interest to insure Brtans survival thriving commercial nation.

sytsems in every Statea system which would permit free choice of doctors. With proper encouragement. such systems should accomplish much and more than the proposed Federal health insurance program with of the major dangers inherent in the latter We say this with the hospital care programs in mind. They have virtually revoutionized public hospital and medical programs of similar scope should comparably successful.
 In our opinion, cumbersome Federalzed health
 insurance program something that should be adopted only last resort if it becomes indsputably clear
 that other methods will not suffice. But this is long way from being proved, The established customs of the medical profession, including a considerable vol of charitable work plus the various free health services provided by cities, counties and States, SUD- plenentad by voluntary medical insurance pro- grams, should approach practical ideal in public medical care. And don't like to tamper with system which has given us the best medical in the world.

CHARS ARMY STALIN'S ARMY

For unfortunately, the Soviet military have increased in pres tige and power during the war years. There have been some inti- mations-always difficult to pin down-that Molotov is more ans werable to them than to Stalin. It was the Czar's Army which ran the Czar, and now may well be that it is Stalin's Army which runs Stalin.
 At any rate, if the military of Russia and a certain military clique in the United States and Great Britain had their way, there is no question in this writer's mind what the outcome would be. The military are suspicious people. Sus- picion breeds suspicion, and sus- picion breeds war.
 Sometimes, however, it takes the abyss of pesSimiSm and hopeless ness to arouse people to new and revolutionary measures. Actually, the situation is by no means hope less-unless it is left to the mili- tary minds.
 The atom is a revolutionary weapon, the most revolutionary in all history. It needs revolutionary diplomacy to combat it. Old fashioned talks between three or four diplomats, well-intentioned and able as they may be, who sit for few days around a green baiZe table and then issue brief communiques to the public aimed to cover up what they didn't ac- complish, will not in my opinion cure the gnaWing suspicion, the selfish ambition, the lust for power that breeds war.
 Only diplomacy of the most revolutionary kind. based upon the Sermon on the Mount can coun- teract the revolutionary weapon of the atom bomb. Many of us have forgotten that Christ was a revolu- tionary Sometimes the world has forgotten this just as woefully and completely as it has forgotten the principles which He taught
 In one or two future columns, hope to discuss some of the revolutionary principles which might be applied to our diplomacy with Russia. This is lot harder to write about than finding out what goes on in cabinet meetings and I don't feel particularly well qualified to discuss it. Nevertheless, with the forebearance of editors, am going to try
