Mr. Martin thus adds his voice to the testimony of many other business spokesmen that war doesn’t pay.

DOCTORS WAKING uP

re trustees of the American Medical Association have tS; proposed a national health program which only a few “years ago would have seemed pretty revolutionary. © . A Federal health agency, possibly with a secretary in the President’s Cabinet; allotment of Federal funds to states in actual need for prevention of disease and care of «the sick; extension of medical care for the indigent: “expansion of preventive medical services—these and other recommendations are made. But the A. M. A. trustees stress local determination of needs and local control of administration, full use of present medical services and “hospitals before launching a vast ‘Government hospital- - building program, and “continued development” of private

practice.

+ This program, of course, is intended as a substitute ‘. for the Wagner National Health Bill, now pending in Congress. The doctors say that their plan could be -. administered “with - far more efficiency,” - that it would ~ avoid what they consider the dangers of “compulsory “mickness insurance, state medicine and similar technics” , resulting “in a trend toward Communism or totalitarianism _and away from democracy.” i The Wagner bill, whatever its faults or merits, does seem to have prodded the A. M. A. into a more enlightened attitude, and that is a gain. No health program can do as * much good as it should unless ‘it has the sympathy and - co-operation of the medical profession. But the doctors won't defeat the Wagner bill by calling it undemocratic. They will have to prove that they have a better prescription _ for the ills of inadequate medical and hospital service which

With No Thanks to Artist: Hitler, Interest in Painting Hjts New Peak.
