reported free medical service to 2611451 persons each year 'plus 1909713 hours of free hospital service each year If all physicians furnish free service on this basis A M A figured that 10000000 of the 43000000 people covered in its survey are getting bafree service On a sis multiplied by four this would mean U S physicians are already taking care of the 40000000 needy citizens Uncle Sam would help Possible though unsubstantiated A M A fallacies: (1) “Free” services may include those to solvent patients guilty of the good old American custom of not paying doctor bills not (2) asking free services (nor would they ask help under a U S program) are thousands of medicine’s “forgotten men” white collar workers who can neither set relief nor pay doctor and hospital bills Socialized medicine

Their explanation: Too much federal spending and excessive business taxes disBy coincicourage new enterprise dence Sen Joseph C O'Mahoney’s temporary national economics committee began investigating this problem just after the senate passed its huge farm bill inciting a new congressional argument over economy and tax revision versus early ad- journment Though the senate junked President Roosevelt's Florida ship canal its farm bill spending spree gave the house courage to pass the recnaval appropriatord $773420000 ions bill Tax revision apparently has a green light from the White House but last January’s talk has been forgotten under pressure of 1940 elections Net Nothing gain: If this is a neutralizing factor General Electric Chairman Owen D Young discussed a greater neutralizer before Senator O’Mahoney’s committee His argument: Government 6hould threats remove and restraints to business thereby making the administration's spending policies effective in putting idle capital to work Said he: “I do not believe in giving a stimulant and then neutralizing it” meaning that should only be used to spending boost lagging purchasing power Crux of Mr Young’s argument against the undistributed profits levy most industries must expand is that with earnings retained for that purpose an experience of both General 6 act During the World war anxious Great Britain enlisted Arab aid with a hasty promise of Britain dependence in Palestine also enlisted Jewish funds by promising to make Palestine a homeland for Jews Twenty years after Versailles the bloody “holy war” which has kept British troops busy in Palestine shows no sign of abating Last winter an conference in London failed because delegates refused to sit at the same table Confronted with more pressing crises in Europe Britain finally decided to dictate a settlement Released in London was a white paper decision providing gradual relaxation of British overlordship between now and 1944 during which 75000 more Jews would be allowed to enter Palestine Then with population standing at 40 per cent Jewish and 60 per cent Arab Britain would try to get delegates together to frame a constitution for the new independent state Observers thought Britain’s haste to reach a settlement had precipitated chaos Since 20 years’ experience have demonstrated that Jews and Arabs will not live under the same ’flag it was quite obvious Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain might have made more permanent peace by following the original plan: Creation of independent Jewish and Arab states separated by a British neutral strip for 1940 A good crop this season might have driven surpluses over that mark giving the administration an embarrassing job of clamping down on wheat farmers during election But unexpected dry weather year in the spring wheat belt helped Secretary of Agriculture Henry A Wallace justify radical changes in the department’s original estimates: Original July carryover figure was 275000000 bushels Mr Wallace dropped it to 270000000 Spring wheat was first placed at 200000000 bushels Mr Wallace made it Total current year’s Crop was first placed at 743900000: Mr Wallace made it 704000000 Instead of 10 8900000 bushels Mr Wallace therefore got a July total of well under the mandatory quota figure To further placate rebellious faimers during election year he decided to let them plant 62000000 acres next year 7000000 more than in 1939 Justification: The 97 4 000 estimate for this July is 47000000 bushels under last year Menu Mushroom and wine sauce Sliced tomatoes Cranberry

France and Britain hoped to woo Dictator Franco away from the axis with reconstruction loans which neither Italy nor Germany could furnish Rejecting direct help Senor Franco joined the Axis and turned
