THE DOCTOR 18 A SOLDIER Karly in June, more than 7,500 American doctors went to Clovelaud, Ohio. They went there to attend the annual meeting of the American Medical Association, which la the largest meeting of its kind in the world. And this year the gathering was of more than ordinary interest, for its dominant note was the role of medicine in the national preparedness program. It Is apparent that the public health is a very vital factor In defense. And that concerns more than the health of our new and fast-expanding army, Important as that is. It concerns the health of the millions of men who work In our factories, and who operate the machines which produce the implements of war. It concerns tho health of farmers, who raise our food. It concerns tho health of civilian population, which must play its part in one way or another to speed the defense drive to a successful consummation. The doctors of America aro tho custodians of tho public health. Upon 'hem rests tho gigantic responsibility of curbing and fighting those diseases which take men's lives, which reduce men's productive capacities, which waste and destroy great human resources. And nny layman, attending tho Medical Association's meet-l lugs, would have been mightily impressed by how the doctors are meeting that responsibility. More than 250 papers describing advances in medicine were read, and elaborate scientific und technical exhibits were shown. The doctor Is a soldier?a soldier fighting an ever-lasting war against disease and plague and death. Today medicine is mobilized to make that fight even more effective. FOR A UNITED PEOPLK , / i Saturday Evening Post Changed Polloy About War Ono of the most important editorial policy hwitches In recent yearH dopurred recently when The Saturday Evening Post decided to abandon Its Isolationist position and accept the views that this war IsjOT^ltal interest to the United States. Though it did not retract its former statements and made *no secret of Its dislike for the present situation, the national periodical made it clear that both the honor and security of the United States are at stake. The Importance of this change of policy lies In the fact that the representative magazines of conservative Isolationism believes that national honor Is worth fighting for. While It deplores the steps that have brought the United States close to the brink of war, it believes that, once this country had committed itself to aid for Britain and all other nations fighting aggression, It must go through with its pledge, regardless of tho cost. The Post recognized that the United States must either go forward or turn hack. "And If we turn back, wo shall bo remembered forever as the Fulataff nation of the world boasting of a power It did really possess, boasting of how It would go forth ugalnst the aggressor, and then changing Its mind when the night came..In going on we face the possibility of national death." , This attludo should be 11 guide for those who still hang back, for those who perlstently Insists that this war Is none of our business. The majority of the people of the United States bucket! the President in the last election. In doing so they expressed their confidence In his ability to guide this nation through one of its most trying periods. Surely, the leust any United States citizen can do today is to refrain from doing or saying anything that will obstruct the President In his attempts to deliver the materials of >var to Great Britain. This does not mean that there must be an end to all criticism. There Is a place for honest, sincere, construe-! tive criticism to the end that the job to which the United States is committed is done quickly, efficiently and economically. But the time for blind name-calling and unreasoning hysteria is gone. As an honorable nation, the United States must make good its promrises of nid and, as honorable citizens, 'the people of this I country must accept their share of the burden and work toward this end. The road this nation must travel Is one of sacrifice and danger, and it must not be' hampered by a divided people. J. E. Ross Given Eastern Star Honor J. E.
