Nor is this all. In the kalei-

10000 persons died. The fatality
rate was so per cent.
Yet the continued spread of
these diseases can be stopped
almost entirely through i'm
proved health conditions at
home and quarantine measures
abroad.
Sonitory Regulations
Worldwide concern over such
outbreaks has resulted in the
latest and most complete epi-
demic measure yet devised
> the International Sanitary
Regulations sponsored by the
World Health Organization.
The treaty enforcing these reg
ulations goes into effect next
Wednesday. Here is how it
works.
Bubonic plague is carried by
rats. So the regulations call for
keeping transportation rat-free
and for killing rat fleas. de-
rafting" is ordinarily required
every six months.
Cholera is spread through in
fected food. water or waste.
Health measures, so designated
by the regulations, include dis
injecting these materials as well
as baggage or bedding which
might be contaminated.
Typhus is carried by the louise.
Out comes the insecticide again.
The same treatment goes for
that type of relapsing fever
carried by lice.
Vaccinations are good
health idea. The WHO. regu-
lations make vaccination man
datory against yellow fever.
Important steps can be taken
to eliminate the mosquito and
other insects that transmit yel-
low fever. but these usually fall
short of adequate safety. WHO.
maintains an up-to-date chart
Of all yellow fever areas in the
world.
Vaccination is also required

An epidemic Of yellow fever
sweeping the Mississippi valley
in 1873 caused an economic loss
of more than 500 million. In
20 years time, cholera killed
more than Z million people in
India at the start of this CEN
tury. School books recall that
the bubonic plague, popularity
known as the "black DEATH" ex-
terminated around one-fourth
the population of Europe during
the Middle Ages.
At the end of World War" I
in 1919, Europe suffered 100000
cases of smallpox. An epidemic
of relapsing fever swept North
Africa from 1942-1945 and
famed into the Middle East.
In three weeks time during the
fall of 1947, cholera epidemic
whipped through all lower Egypt.

system.
The regulations also call on
each signatory to see that every
port and airport provide pure
drinking water and effective
waste removal systems. AS many
ports and airports as possible
are required to have available
an organized medical service,
especially equipped to handle
quarantine requirements.
Ratification System
The sanitary regulations are
cast in the new style of in
international treaties. States
which join the World Health
Organization agree that subse-
quent conventions approved by
the U. N. specialized agency
automatically go into effect
after a specified period Of time
unless the country disagrees
or makes qualifying reserva-
ton. Only Is of 80 governments
submitted reservations or
amendments to the sanitary
regulations following unani-
nous WHO. adoption on May
rs of last year.
The regulations have been
hailed by supporters as one Of
the most important acts yet
performed by WHO. The
treaty replaces and revises Is
other international agreements
on the subject, minimizing the
past "inextricable confusion"
as one expert described it. The
regulations were drawn up to
provide maximum security"
against the international spread
of disease with minimum in
reference" in world traffic.
Of course, there are other
epidemic diseases such as ma.
laria which need similar con-
troll. And WHO. is now study
ing how best to control
them in preparation for writ
ing a treaty to extend interna-
tional health cooperation to
these fields.

Foreign Service Recruiting

For the first time since the war.
the State Department sent a
phalanx Of veteran Foreign
Service officers to Americas COL
lege campuses to beat the bushes
for likely young talent.
Several Objectionable recruit
ing practices were thrown out.
The habit of stalling success
full candidates for as long as two
years before making appoint
ments was abandoned. The age
qualification was dropped from
81 to 20. Students fearful of
Ivy League competition were as
sured that representation from
Old Siwash was just as well
come as from Harvard.
A few days ago results of the
State Departments huckstering
seemed to be favorable. About
1000 young men and women,
more than twice as many as
in 1851, turned out for the eight
part examination. State De-
partment officials regard this as
proof that their missionary CAM
paign has, momentarily. at least,
licked the Mccarthy jinx.
But the battle is actually only
half won. AS the American
Foreign Service Journal points
out in an editorial in its Oc-
tober issue. only 200 appoint
mentS are contemplated this
year. The corps present size is
$500, but expansion plans call
for twice that number by 1855.
Thus. the question persists:
Where do the other 1900 For
eign Service officers come from?
Even should the number of ap-
pointments be increased, the
State Department would still be
hard-pressed to find enough ap-
plicants capable of passing the
written examination on it's pres
ent annual test schedule. OF
the 1900 who took the examina-
ton recently no more than Is
per cent are expected to get past
the first hurdle. This percent.
age will shrink even more after
the Board of Examiners oral
examinations.
The lowering of examination
standards is considered by the
State Department to be a poor
solution.
An alternative approach was
inspired by the Hoover Com
mission last year. Non-career
State Department people will
be absorbed into the diplomatic
corps in a process known in
bureaucratic circles as lateral
integration."
AS might have been expected,
career diplomats look upon such
a panacea with frank reserva-
ton. They are convinced that
the best Foreign Service ma
terial. at the beginners level,
is brought in by the conven-
tional examination route, the
so-called career method. So far,
only so of the State Depart
ment's non-career people have
gone over to the diplomatic
corps in the amalgamation of
the two departments, but the
pace is expected to pick up.
Apparently the State Depart
ment will retain it's high
standards in the Foreign Service
exams, although it will have to
fill the bulk Of the 1,300-odd
vacancies from men it has seen
operate in non-career jobs.

Service as a career rather than

Carthy treatment. To many a
young college graduate loss of
an independent mind was too

The result of this wholesale
apathy toward a profession that
once stirred the imagination of

Foreign Service was in danger of
acquiring a mantle of medioc-
