BY DR.. George Blanc
Director of the Pasteur Institute
of Morocco

of Morocco
The history of plague is a long
and dark one. Even today the
name itself, with its association of
swift and widespread death, brings
terror to the people of many lands.
So sudden were its visitations in
Europe that Ambrose Pare, a
famous French physician of the
XVI century, called the malady
"tempestuous.
Coming out of Asia, plague first
invaded Europe, via, Byzantium
in the sixth century, during the
reign of the Emperor Justinian.
1t was then that Procopius, the
Byzantine historian, gave pre-
else description of the effect of
plague on the human body, OBJ
serving that it brought about
blood-poisoning and inflammation
of the Emphatic glands.
After several successive waves
of plague had spread over Europe,
the disease appeared to lie low
for nearly three hundred years.
Then, in the fourteenth century,
terror was revived. This was the
time Of the Black Death" which
devastated Europe, wiping out
over a third of the total popu-
lation. Time and time again the
terror struck, the attacks con-
tinuing until the Eighteenth Cen
ury. When in 1720, it re-entered
Marseilles to claim 10000 victims,
it had already left hundreds of
thousands dead in its path, includ-
ing 10000 in the City of London
of 1865.
Crude Defense in Middle Ages
The panic created by the mys-
terious disease led to crude meth
ods of defense. Infected houses
were fumigated and marked with
a cross. No one was allowed to
enter. Doctors wore cowls, and
their clothes also bore the sign
of the cross. People stepped back
at their approach with apprehen-
sion,or even hostility.
1t was forbidden for anyone
from an infected zone to enter a
healthy city. Those caught at
tempting to do so were turned
back after having their ears crop
ped. The sight of persons whose
ears had been cut off was not
uncommon.
The rapid and unpredictable
movement of the "Black Death"
gave rise to rumors that it was
being deliberately spread. The ac-
cusation was made that fat from
corpses was being smeared on
the doors of houses. Many unfor-
tunates were declared to be guilty
of this offense and put to death.
Plague was believed to be a
manifestation of divine wrath and
the saints were called to inter
cede on behalf of mankind. The
most celebrated was st. Roch,
popular pictures of whom art
still to be seen showing him with
the thigh gland enlarged-a
symptom of the disease-and at
his feet the dog that had saved
him from starvation when he was
cast out as plague stricken.

Kerr Bill, One of the
Most Vicious In
Recent Congresses

The Kerr Natural Gas Bill, which
has already passed the house and
senate, is one of the most vicious
bills that has been introduced in the
Congress in recent years.
The bill was put through the house
and senate, with little if any protest
from the public, owing to the fact
that the press, controlled by the mon
eyed interests, played this bill down
and gave it no publicity whatever.
This bill would take from the in
dependent gas producer the only pro-
lection he has in the sale of his prod
uct and without this protection all
the small producers will absolutely
be forced out of business, as gas dis
tributors can refuse to buy their
product or when buying it can pay
the independent gas producer what
ever they wish.
If this bill is not vetoed by the
President the day of the independ-
ent gas producer is passed, as there
will be no reason for him to explore
and produce gas, that he has to sell
to the distributor at the distributors
price as these people (whose sole
reason for existence seems to be
profits and more profits) will pay
the producer just what they have to
pay and no more.
Some proponents of this bill claim
that the large Independent producers
are in favor of the measure. This
might be possible as their strength in
the financial field will protect them,
in fact they may eventually join with
the distributor, in setting prices,
thereby forcing the independent pro-
Queer right out of business, thus
creating another vast monopoly.
Is this the brand of Democracy
our boosted "free enterprise" is lead
ing us into?
The majority of the Democratic
votes on this bill were against, so it
does not seem possible for a Demo-
cratic President to forsake his party
and join hands with the monopoly
worshiping Republo-cratic coalition,
by allowing this bill to become law
