CANT BUY UTOPIA
OVERNIGHT

A New York Herald-Tribune
editorial discusses the govern
ment's proposed vast social sec.
urity program with its emphasis
on protection against loss OF in
come for the i'll and unemploy-
ed, better housing for tht people,
better health and medical care,
an insured income for the aged,
and the rest of it. 1t then says:
"No one disputes the desirability
of the goals, no one doubts that
the American system has within
itself the power to attain them
degree known to no other ma
ton. But to achieve them de-
mands more than mere faith,
more than the denunciation Of
'reactionaries'. :. The program
which Mr.. Truman puts forth >.
is as complicated, difficult and
costly as anything which could
we'll be imagined. Combined with
the vast commitments for de
tense and foreign aid which the
United States has undertaken, it
would constitute a crushing bur
den on the productive energies
of America. This is not whpt
the will of the people demanded,
nor what Mr.. Truman told the
voters in the lo4S campaign. He
poke then, and he speaks now,
as if a goal has only to be stated
in legislation to be won, painless
ly and finally. The experience of
too ntany countries with this
kind of wishful thinking, how
ever, has proved to be futile and
dangerous"
What the Herald-Tribune is
saying, in essence, is that men of
good will. impatient to immedi-
ately attein some great end, have
unwittingly created economic
ruin for millions. In no country
in the world has the life of the
masses of people been so greatly
improved as in ours. That life
will. in normal course of events,
get better, happier, more secure.
But if we try to buy utopia over
night, the consequences will be
disastrous.

DRUGS FROM
ANIMALS

A short time ago the American
Meat Institute, which represents
a large number of the nations
meat packers, urged that its MEM
bers save increased quantities OF
cattle gall. This gall is the source
of new drug called cortisonc
which has, in some cases, effect
ed spectacular relief in persons
suffering with arthritis. Gall
from merry 100 cattle is needed
to produce enough cortisonc for
but a single weeks treatment
for the average patient.
A great amount of processing
is necessary to produce cortlsone.
a hundred pounds of raw gall
produced only eight-tcnths OF a
pound of acid-of which but one
pei cent is cortisone.
Bv-products of the meat indus
try have long beeu the source Of
various medicines, of which in
sulin, the only drug yet discover
ed that will control diabetes. is
the best known. Cortisone may
be an equal boon to those afflict-
ed with arthritis.

If we are to keep our nation free
from the naturalization of so ba-
sic an industry AS the railroads,
there must be not only recognition
of the facts of the present situa-
ton, but also action on the part OF
shippers.
Westinghouse Electric Corpora
tion has publicized its newly stated
policy somewhat as follows:
"Westinghouse will use railroads
for all shipments unless trucks Of
fer important advantages in serv-
ice or lower rates. When truck
rates are lower than rail rates,
railroads will be given a chance to
make adjustments that will enable
the company to ship by rail at
competitive rates"
children are the greatest
~ riches nation can have.
What are we doing to ours? The
Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany statisticans tell US one side
of the picture:
Forty-two per cent of all the
divorces and annulments granted
in the United States in 1948 were
to couples with children. The 421,-
900 absolute DEGREES granted that
year involved $4,000 children un-
der 21 years of age. These chill
dren, plus their parents, made .
total of almost / 10000 persons in
families dissolved by divorce. The
peak divorce rate of couples with
children, Is per 900 in 1948, was
reached in the fourth year of mar
riage.
Where does the responsibility
for this appalling situation lie!
Here is a national problem which
should deeply concern every think
ing American.
