REPORT EPIDEMIC
 OF TYPHOID FEVER
 IN BETHEL AREA

Thirty-five persons are ill of ar intestinal disease with symptoms suggesting typhoid fever and two deaths have occurred in the Bethel area, according to a report of the Alaska Department of Health here today. A few of the cases have been definitely diagnosed as typhoid fever.
 William Cleveland, 24. and Sophie Paul Nichoh, months, both of the village of Kwikhluk, are the two fatalities.
 In the village of Napasakiak there are g children ill and at Eek Is persons are reported i'll, Dr. Wendall c. Mathews, acting assis- tant commissioner of health at An chorage stated following his re- turn from the Bethel area yester- day.
 He said that both Health Depart ment and Alaska Native Service medical personnel are giving aid, with immunizations being given to as many of the residents of the area as possible. Dr. Matthews said they have plenty of vaccine but travel facilities are at a minimum. Ice on the water prevents planes from landing on floats but is too thin for skis, while mud on the airstrips makes it most impossible for planes to land on wheels.
 Dr. Matthews reported the typh- old outbreak in a telephone conver- sation to Dr. James T. Googe, chief Of local health administration for the Health Department here.
 In a typhoid fever outbreak at Spenard, suburb of Anchorage, in April there were IT children strick- en with the disease, but no fatal ities, Dr. Googe said.

IT'S DIFFERENT ABOARD

In one of his revealing Saturday Even
ing Post articles on his experience as AM
bassador to Russia General Walter Bedell
Smith described the scarcity of consumer
goods of all kinds. He observed, "Ameri-
cans with their corner drugstores, super
markets and five-and-ten-cent stores can
hardly imagine the life of foreigners in
Moscow
Lack of even the most necessary sup
plies at the retail level is always found In
totaltarian economies. And this lack, of
course is the inevitable result of any sys-
tenn based on rationing, price fixing, and
ironhanded, noncompetitive government
control or ownership of practically every
thing We saw, on a small scale, something
of the same thing when OPA regulations
were maintained for some time after the
war. AS soon as those regulations were lift
ed, and normal competition was restored,
all the scarcities were swiftly made up and,
in many lines, there was actual overpro-
duction.
American stores, which we all take for
granted, seem like miracles to visitors
from other lands-and particularly the
few who come here from inside the Rus
sian orbit. They see the chains, the indie
pendents, the variety shops, the dealers in
both necessities and luxury goods-and
everywhere there is an Incredible abund-
ance judged by their past experience
abroad. And, equally important, there is
open competition which forces every mer-
chant to try to offer lower prices, better
services, more attractive stocks, or some
other consumer indncement.
The retail store is the show window
of the nation 1t is accurate reflection of
] this great country.

ELECTION BATTLE IN ENGLAND

IT. election campaign in Great Brit
DIN i n ovino toward the decisive day, Feb
ruary 23rd, when the voters OF that couh-
try 90 to the polls to determine Wnethef
the present Labor Government VIII De re-
hrned to office or replaced by the Con-
servatiyes. led by the great war leader,
Winston Churchill.
The parties have set out their plat
forms. using all the sugary bait that po-
litical parties are accustomed to set pc
fore the unsuspecting citizen. We make
this statement on the assumption that
British politicians are like those on this
side of the Atlantic and that the purpose
of the platforms is to catch votes.
The Labor Government, as most of our
readers know, has nationallzed the coal
industry, railways, canals, docks, Arrays,
gas and electricity, the cable and wireless,
and the Bank of England, It has proposed
to nationalize the iron and steel industry,
but this has been deferred until after the
day of the election.
The Conservative platform gives a
pledge to stop naturalization. including
that of iron and steel, to put some road
transport back into private industry, de-
centralize the coal and railway admins
trations and determine the fate of the gas
and electricity industries after greater ex-
perience in the present operation.
interestingly, the Conservatives, in
their political manifesto, suggest that
everyone should be able to own home of
his own, asserting that five per cent de-
post in cash should be sufficient for the
purchase of home In brief, it promises
cheaper welfare state and more freedom,
but it does not undertake to undo much of
the naturalization already effected by the
Labor Government.
We have no way of acquiring the in
formation necessary upon which to base
prediction as to the outcome of the British
elections. One newspaper correspondent.
who recently visited England and in whose
Judgment we have some confidence, was
of the opinion some months ago that the
Labor Government would be returned to
power, Whether this happens to be cor
rect or not, it is virtually impossible to
identify the British parties with those of
the United States and it would be mis-
take to assume that the Conservatives
correspond to our Republicans and that
the Labor Government corresponds to our
Democratic administration.
