NATO Council Tosses
Dutch PIeo to Members

PARIS. Dec. Z R.-The
Netherlands asked the North
Atlantic Treaty Organizations
Council today to support a
Dutch complaint to the United
Nations about developments in
Indonesia, where Dutch citizens
are being expelled.
DR.. Eeclo van Kleffens. Dutch
permanent delegate TO the coun-
Gil. said after an emergency
meeting that the council took
the idea under consideration
and referred the Indonesiap
situation TO member govern

DR.. van Kleffens told the
council the Netherlands believes
the NATO alliance should be
the basis for solidarity Of At
lantic nations throughout the
world.
Indonesia lies outside the
geographic area covered by the
NATO treaty but any member
may bring TO NATO attention
It's own problems. Delegates re-
portedly agreed the situation
was OF common concern.
A NATO spokesman said a
Dutch statement on recent
events in Indonesia affecting
Dutch interests was discussed.
The issue remained on the

be said that without such
protective services II Is
doubtful there would be
large cities throughout the
world today, because public
health is at work constantly
guarding the health OF the
community as a whole. Some
Of our outstanding physicians
have q most unusual opinion
OF what public health is. For
example. to quote from AN
interview which appeared In
the May. 1857, issue Of Medi-
cal Economics. page 1853. the
present president Of the
American Medical AsSocia-
ton was asked what the
accepted functions OF public
health were. His answer
was. Water pollution. Indian
health - things like that.
And l might as well include
the Veterans Administration
in so far as IL han d les
service-connected injuries to
veterans. We In American
medicine feel that any vet
cram with a Service-con-
nected condition is entitled
to the best attention possible
at Government expense.
But we do not feel that nom
service-connected conditions
should be taken care OF by
the Government. The Gov
ernment oversteps its bounds
when II tries TO give any
care at any time in a veter-
ans hospital"
With due respect and
high regard for the members
of the subcommittee who
studied this problem, 1t must
be evident that they failed
TO differentiate in their find
ings between the primary
activity OF a health depart
ment and that OF a welfare
or socialized service. In a
capitalistic society we at
tempt to keep at a minimum
socialized services. while at
the same time try TO hold the
gains we hate made and in
crease our standard OF liv-
ing.
A request was made OF
each dean Of every approved
school Of public health in
the United States and Can
ada as TO whether or not
health centerS for large
cities were being recon-
mended in their public
health administration cur
riculums, Replies were re-
ceived from all schools in
this country and Canada.

W w. ~ '"S SaSts
Not too long ago a SUBJ
committee OF the Commits
aioners' Public Works Review
Committee stated In a report
that The trend is away
from the creation Of health
centers. particularly In those
communities where adequate
hospitals and physicians are
available TO supplement the
work of the health depart
mentS.s
AS a longtime worker in
the field Of public health, I
feel sure that this commit
tee OF laymen. however well
meaning. was not adequately
appraised OF the functions OF
a health center in q metro-
politan area. First. a health
center is not devoted prima-
rily to patient care but rather
to keep-well and protective
services. which must be made
available where the people
live in order to efficiently and
satisfactorily provide them.
Second. examples of a
normal health departments
activities are; well baby
clinics. prenatal clinics. tu-
berculosis detection clinics,
contagious disease preven-
ton. dental clinics. environ

health education. epidemic
logical investigations and
other keep-well services
which private or voluntary
hospitals and municipal hos
pitals would not be interest
ed in conducting. nor would
they be able to staff on a
COMMUNICATIVE basis with
out charging the community
more than for which it would
be possible to conduct these
same clinic services in mod
ern health centers placed
strategically within the city.
Direct therapeutic services
within the functional range
of the health department
should be provided only for
those who cannot purchase
them by any other means.
Third. II is as impossible
for a large city health de-
partInent to carry on its
needed services without ade-
quate health centers as it
would be to ask a large city
fire department. a large city
police department. or even a
large city education depart
ment TO conduct all their
services from one central
downtown building.
Fourth. hospitals are fun

treating sick individuals and
not in offering a keep-well
program for healthy people
on a community basis. which
is the main function of a
health department through
modern health centers. The

won last April's elections to a
new legislative council. Lon
don appointed Gov. Colin
Hardwick Thornley, then named
Mr. Price to the councils Ex-
ecutive Committee but removed
him from the committee yes
terday.
Mr.. Price was member Of
a delegation which went to
London recently to discuss the
constitutional future of British
Honduras and seek financial
aid.
The British colonial secretary
charged in the House Of Com
mons that Mr.. Price and other
members OF the delegation
talked in London with the
Guatemalan envoy about the
possibility of cutting loose from
Britain and aSsociating the COL
ony with Guatemala.
Claimed by 2 Nations
Both Guatemala and Mexico
claim British Honduras. which
touches both. The colony does
not touch the nation Of Hon.
duras. Guatemala has been
pushing her claim since indica-
tons of oil were found in her
northern province, whose nat
ural outlet to the Caribbean
is through Belize.

its first meeting since the Lon

had been informed of the meet

made for the colony to join
with Guatemala in a federation

see how anyone could thing
that one or two persons could
hand the country over. even If
they had that in mind.
