Last Monday the Army gave a

Cancer Reports

The District Medical Society is
expected to act tonight on a pro-
posal that cancer be made re
portable disease" to aid the District
Health Department in forming
registry that would furnish statis-
tical information on all cancer
victims here.
DR.. Jay Mclean, director of the
departments Cancer Control Bu-
reau, said the next step would be
to ask the Commissioners to author
ize designation of cancer as a "re-
portable" ailment to the Health
Department.
This, he explained. would relieve
hospitals and doctors of any legal
responsibility for divulging informa-
ton about patients.
Actually, he added, the bureau
does not intend to rely entirely on
individual doctors reporting each
cancer case that comes to their at
tention. Rather, the bureau hopes
to send workers to hospitals-Where
most cancer patients come for some
treatment-to get the confidential
information.
PHS Grant of S15,385.
The Public Health Service today
announced a grant of $15,385 to the
department to help establish and
operate the registry. While this is
about $4,000 less than the bureau
requested, DR.. Mclean said he feels
it would be enough to operate the
program, providing the public health
officials did not knock out too many
essential points Of the project.
The program, which also will be
supplemented by District funds, will
rely on cooperation from the city's
doctors, hospital leaders and hos
pital records librarians, however,

This Changing World
Italy Expected to Become Full Partner
OfWestern Defense Bloc in Near Future

Ia sufficient quantity of trucks,
which we cannot spare from our
available stockpiles.
simultaneously with the quiet
conversations between American
general staff officers and the Italian
chief of staff, conversations have
taken place between French For
eign Minister Robert Schuman and
his Italian opposite number, Carlo
Sforza..
The French were the principal
opporents of Italy's becoming full
fledged partner in the defense bloc.
For reasons unknown to any one but
the French politicians themselves.
they continue to consider the ene-
mics of yesterday-the Italians and
the Germans-as the majcr dan-
ger to their country in spite of what
is known in Paris about the Soviet
conspiracy against Western civil
ization.
Talks Called Satisfactory.
The talks between Mr.. Schuman
and Mr.. Sforza are said to have
been highly satisfactory. The French
foreign minister and the Italian
nobleman, who spent many years in
exile during the Mussolini regime,
have come to a definite agreement
that as soon as the italian armed
forces receive the necessary assur-
ance that they will obtain equip
ment from the United States, Italy
will be included in the Western bloc.
One Of the main objections to
italy becoming a partner with the
rest Of the Western nations was
the utter lack of preparedness of the
Italian Army which, at the end of
the war, could be considered no bet
ter than a police force.
The French general staff pointed
out throughout the past negotiations
dealing with the inclusion of Italy
into the Western alliance that the
Rome government had nothing to
offer, and in the event of an Eastern
aggression it was not only in bad
strategic position with its open
boundaries on the Yugoslav frontier,
but it would have to be supported
by French armies. Italy, in the
opinion of the French military, was
a very poor risk as an ally.
The reports in Washington that
America has decided to assign to
Italy some of the 50 100000 ear
marked for Western Europe has
greatly contributed to the change
of heart of the other nations form
ing the Western bloc.

These congressional devices fit

tween foreign policy and national
military power within slightly
more than a score of years - We
have won two wars, only to lose
the peace " through lack of
consistent national objectives ." .
our foreign and military policies are
not yet firmly tied together . = the
military are planning how to
| fight the next War-if this tragedy
should occur-without knowing ex-
actly what we would be fighting
| for"
This criticism is exactly correct
and lies at the root of failures even
in the intelligence services as such.
The blame is not on the military
but upon civilian leadership. When
the military run away with a war
or take over peace policies, it is be-
cause of failures in guidance from
the proper spheres.
Abnegation of Peace Policy.
In the last war, the declaration
OF allied political leaders that peace
terms were unconditional sur
render" handed everything to the
military. The declaration was a
total abnegation of peace policy,
requiring the continuation of the
war to the total collapse Of the en-
emies, no matter what political
eventualities might develop.
1t also was a carte blanche to
pursue the war by any and every
means. Having taken that stand,
every overture from the enemy
powers to end the war had to be
summarily rejectedthough the
story of those overtures has not
been comprehensively told, nor has
the rejection of overtures from anti
Nazi Germans to overthrow the
Hitler regime in advance of Munich
ever been adequately explained.
During the war, national policy
toward Germany in particular ap-
parently was largely formed by Or
ganized public propaganda and
pressures, which were by no means
disinterested. The'amount of inf1u-
ence exercised by European refugees
was enormous and many of these
had no American considerations at
heart.
The intervention Of the Secretary
Of the Treasury, Henry Mo7genthau,
jr., was scandalous. That the in
credible "Morgenthau Plan" was
supported vigorously by American
Communists did not prevent a large
part Of his conceptions from becom-
ing policy, and a policy which has
made the reconstruction of Western
Europe as a viable order all but
impossible.
Despite the fact that Gen. Lucius
Clay has taken personal RESPONSE
bility for the preposterous situation
caused by the absence of a guaran-
teed corridor between Berlin and
the Western zones of Germany, it
is not his responsibility. It goes
back to the executive policy of
trust" Russia, to an extent incom-
patible with all wisdom and even
the honor and dignity of this re-
public.
Neither Law Nor Policeman,
Finally, it was not the military
who, after total rehabilitation,
staked the security of the United
States and mankind on a United
Nations which has neither a law, a
judge nor policeman.

to do there await the post Christ
mas return of Speaker-prospective
Rayburn and Representative NC
Cormack, who will be majority
leader. But the tentative proposals
include:
!. Provision for the automatic
discharge from the Rules Committee
of bills held there IA days with

any such bills can be called up on

2. Amendment of the Reorganiza-
ton Act to increase the member
ship of major committees. The
idea is that they can then be packed
with administration supporters to
counterbalance the seniority priv
ileged Southerners.
Large Assumptions.
There are some large assumptions
in the Truman tactics. One is
that there are enough Truman votes
in the next Congress to pass his
program without some display of
force and ruthlessness by the Presi-
dent Another is that the Congress
which for the past four years had a
good old Harry, he doesn't mean
it, he's only vote-catching" psy-
chology now believes in the fight
ing Truman the people listened to
this fall. A third is that only a
fraction of the Southerners are
really irreconcilable and that a
part Of them at least will go along
with the President.
The showdoWns ought not to be
long in coming, as the White House
has ambitious plans to feed an
impressive amount of legislation
into the congressional hoppers.
Most of it has been cheWed over
before; it should not be hard to
derect the reasons for any new de-
lays-or the authors of such de-
lays.

Season of Advent begins with
Sunday, November %, this year.
The word advent" comes from
the Latin word meaning arrival" +,
1t refers, of course, to the arrival
or birth of our Lord Jesus Christ
on Christmas Day. Advent Sea-
son is always the time between
the fourth Sunday before Christ
mas, and Christmas Day.
Rev. Hiram B. Holdridge, min
ister of The Methodist Church
in Magnetic Springs and PhariS-

theme for Advent: Christmas:
Gods Hope to a Despairing
World" The four sermons will
be as follows: Nov. %, Gods
Blessing on the Home; Dec. 5,
Gods Faith in Ordinary Folks;
Dec. IL, Gods Power to Those
Afraid" Dec. 10, Gods Promise
of Peace.
The entire series will be based
on what is perhaps the most beau
tiful account of our Lords birth,
the story found. in the Gospel
of Luke, Chapter 2, verses 8
to 20. The outstanding purpose
of sermons will be to see Christ
