the Committee on the Cost of Medical Care, that this “is the most pressing medical question before the people today and daily is becoming more acute.” Plans of the committee for a fiveyear program of research which it hopes will help to solve the problem were outlined. It is stated that nothing similar ever was undertaken anywhere in the world. “The importance of the problem may be appreciated,” says Wilbur, “when it is realized that the present cost of illness to the people of the United States probably is more than $5,000,000,000 per year.” The committee includes some of the most eminent physicians, sanitarians and economists ,as well as prominent laymen. Financial support has been supplied by the Carnegie Coropration, the Milbank Memorial Fund, the Russell Sage Foundation and the Twentieth Century Fund. Participating in the research will be the American Medical Associa- . tion, the Metropolitan Life Insur-

Complaints of high charges are becoming frequent, and I fear some of them are justified. “The cause of the difficulty, often, is the large number of separate bills which must be paid, not the amount of the physician’s charge. “Physicians, as a group, are not earning adequate incomes; and for many, hospitals and other facilities for scientific work are lacking. Nurses and dentists, too, fail to receive satisfactory returns for their, labors. Apparently, it is the present ‘system’ which is at fault.” The committee’s actual program
