Decreases in North.
ut was not long, however, until
the disease began to decrease in
the Northern United States" DR..
Andrews said. This was due to
improved economic conditions, agri-
cultural drainage, cheaper quinine
and better medical service. BY 1900
the malaria areas were reduced to
the southeastern coastal lowlands,
the lower Mississippi flood plain and
a few localities in the Southwest"
Now it is being driven from these
last strongholds, he said, by the re-
moval of populations and by the
powerful new insecticides by which
areas can be cleared of mosquitoes.
There was much concern that
soldiers Of the last war coming back
from malaria infested areas would
bring with them new strains of the
disease. Thus far, however. there
is only one authenticated instance
of malaria transmission from an
infected veteran. This occurred in
the Northeast. Such dissemination
would occur most readily in the
Southeast and would be very difncult
to detect with certainty.
May Eradicate Mosquitoes.
The possibility of completely
eradicating malaria carrying mos
quitoes from large areas was en-
pfasized by DR.. F.. L. Soper, director
of the Pan American Sanitary Bu-
rear. In l945, he said, the Gambia
mosquito, most vicious of all the
disease carriers, was eradicated from
Egypt after causing one of the worst
modern epidemics.
Attempts have been made to
eradicate other mosquito species
from the Pacific slope valley of Peru
and from Sardinia and Cyprus.
While these have met with different
degrees of success, he said, they have
shown a general method which can
be followed.
1t is especially important to stop
an invading species. This can be
done by first throwing sanitary
belt around an area to stop reen-
forcements and then eliminating
those which have already arrived by
piecemeal attacks on their breeding
places. The present experience has
thrown little light on eliminating an
invader after it has become well
established in a favorable environ
ment.

This was reported to the Fourth

NEW YORK.-Ten years ago next
Tuesday there was reached a fate
full decision: That the world would
once again be plunged into war.
For World War II was made at
Munich, not the year later. But the
Anglo-French appeasement, SYM
bolized by Neville Chamberlain's
now pitiful phrase, Peace in our
time" not only insured war by CIV
ing Hitler what amounted to the 60

quests: Worse, it nipped in the bud

lerian regime.

this try and also the bomb attempt

his innermost conviction that moth
ing short of q miracle can prevent
the world from being plunged into
another blood bath before long.
Some inveterate optimists in top
ranking positions in Washington be-
lieved until very recently that IN
spite Of all Russia's clustering, she
was not fully prepared to wage war,
even II the men in the Kremlin
were convinced that the Russians
could overwhelm the Western pow
ers in the initial stages Of struggle
These American of1lcials-and they
included number of military men
based their appraisal on three fac
tors: Cd The Russians do not have
the atomic bomb in production yet;
Cd the transportation system on the
Soviet Army has not improved since
the last war, when 1t was markedly
inadequate, and 90 the men in the
Kremlin talk big but give not the
slightest indication Of preparation
for an immediate conflict.
Evidence Is Deceptive
Aggressions are usually preceded
by heavy movement of troops. rapid
creation of stockpiles for the fight
ing forces and other tactical meas
ures such as Hitler made over a
period of several months before he
attacked Poland.
Hence, the optimists argued, the
Soviet Union will continue and may
even intensity the war of nerves,
and will rattle the saber at every
opportunity. but it will not risk war
against the West and the certainty
that the United States would come
into the conflict, because their lead
ers-and particularly Prime Minis
ter Stalin-are too smart to take
such a risk.

sition to the Nazi regime had been

have often been asked why we
had not made our strength known
much earlier. Had we done so
would not important decisions on
the part of western statesmen have
been shaped differently?
Discretion Ruled
In the first place the supreme
law of all oppositions under reign
of terror must be: Keep your
mouth shut" Not only that, but
oppositionists must have the cour-
age and the self-discipline to cam
outage their conspiratorial activi-
ties by a sham of conformity. No
terroristic government ever has
been overthrown by inmates of con-
centration camps.
In the second place the German
opposition did not keep its mouth
shut entirely. BY dozens of conf
dental channels the statesmen of
the west were kept constantly in
formed of what was going on. This
was particularly true at the time of
Munich.
On February 4, 1888, Hitler
pulled off his second cold" coup
d'etat. He did not set fire to the
Reichstag this time, but the story he
told his stunned ministers and gen.
erals was perhaps more frivolously
mendacious than the Reichstag af-
fair. Once again something mysterl-
GUS took place, and once again our
highly moral Fuehrer intervened
with a stern hand to restore order
and decency. And once again
chance" played into his hands, and
he found a degenerate who would
make his incredible story a little
more credible. The "lubbe" of the
Reichstag fire had been half-in-
sane Dutch Communist; the "lubbe"

Car Shortage
Slows Carriers
Peak Freight Season Still
Contends With Old
Problem
By T. E. Apologize

NEW YORK.-The peak fall
freight-loading season finds the
railroads still contending with a
'dwindling supply of available cars.
Record or bumper crops must
move to market; manufacturers
sales and construction activity, both
requiring freight handling, continue
above 1947 levels.
But the number of freight cars at
work is lower. This has come about
in spite Of general success OF the
program which has kept new car
output near or about the goal of
10000 monthly.
The American Railway Car In
stitute has compiled figures which
show a net decline of 66,s53 freight
cars available for service, from vi
day three years ago to August J.,
l948.
Overhauls Mount
Even since last January i, when
the car-building program moved
into high gear and deliveries started
to run ahead of retirement of OBJ
solete wornout cars, the "cars-at-
work. total has dwindled.
This Is because of a sharp upturn
in the number of bad order" cars
withdrawn from service to await
repair.
The institute quotes reports of the
Association Of American Railroads
to show that although production in
the first seven months of 1948 ex-
ceeded retirements by 9,219 cars,
this was overbalanced by an increase
Of 1902 in bad order" cars. So the
net loss in "cars-at-work" over the
seven-month period was 6,S43 units.
Against the background of these
figures and an uncertain inter-
national situation, some railroadmen
are expressing concern over the
status of their freight carrying
capacity. They urge a building pro-
gram of at least $4,000 new cars a
month.
One of these is James H. Aydelott,
AAR vice president, who told a con-
gressional committee inadequate car
building during World War II con-
stituted "a grave gamble" on the
duration of hostilities.
Since the wars end, nearly zoe, 900
new freight cars have been delivered.
The railroads have around 125,OO0
more on order.
Car Loadinss Down
Samuel M. FELTON,, president of
Railway Car Institute, has said the
builders need additional orders "in
such quantities that they may plan
for balanced production at levels
high enough to insure peak ell
ciency."
Cries Of . freight car shortage
have been much less this year than
in 1947. Some Of this Is due to
lessened demand for cars-carload-
ings since January l are around
/ ,0o0, 900 cars behind the comparable
period year ago.
Other factors include the increased
and greater efficiency of the
new cars. And freight trains In the
first half of 1913 carried q record
average load Of 1883 tons, without
any decrease in average speed. This
was made possible, the AAR said,
by more. powerful locomotives and
improved operating methods. per-
heavier loading Of individ-
ual cars and getting more cars In
the average train.

the Wehrmacht was thoroughly Co
ordlnated." The chief of the gen.
eral staff, Col. Gen. Ludwig Beck,
who was probably the finest officer
in the German Army, resigned-but
not to sulk.
From then on, Gen. Beck became
the recognized head of the German
resistance movement. He had I'M
portant friends among the generals
who remained in the army. One of
them was Field Marshal Erwin Won
Witzleben. After the failure of the
revolt of July 20, 1914, Won Witzleben
had to pay for his courage on the
gallows. But in 1888, Witzleben held
the key to any revolt-as commander
of the Berlin military district.
Prussian Theory Wrong
Witzleben was man willing to 60

His fellow officers trusted him. He

For a long time 1t was assumed

correct. The generals "guilt"-and

after Munich took place with abso-

Hitler would have to be a great
statesman, rather than the mad
revolutionary he was, to keep from
taking this booty. And when he
did take it, the western powers put
up with this breach Of the Munich
pact for which they had paid so
dearly. When Hitler conquered
Prague in March, 1889, they did
not even reply by breaking diplo-
matte relations with Germany.
This "appeasement" removed Hit

of an immediate declaration of
war he could not believe 1t. The
"clairvoyant," the man who had
been praised for his "somnambu-

1899. His first reaction to the news
