We will have to “start from scratch” and make up for several lost years. It caq’t be done instantly. Miracles happen of course, and maybe some machinery will be avail able for" the spring planting of 1945, and more for 1946—depending prin cipally upon the course of the Ger man campaign and upon the amount of material which will go into the Japanese campaign and to devastated Europe. AND provided the politicians will keep their hands off industry and their noses out of business; and pro vided the men who make the ma chinery are allowed by their labor czars to work; and provided the city folks get a little hungry and begin to realize that a farmer is a person who raises food and is therefore a necessary part of their comfort—and should be encouraged; and provided the fanners themselves save seme money with which to buy said ma chinery. This is not a very encouraging pre diction and we hope it is too pressi- mistic; but at the same time it is safer to keep our machinery out of the weather; to drive slowly and said current cold weather in many sections would tend to stop the spread. The ailment extended from popu lous centers of the northeast through the midwest to the coast and to sec tions of the south. Philadelphia reported 200,000 per- pendent dn the government for thejy- livelihood. Their success, like that of a postmaster, would soon depend upon their ability to play politics rather than their ability at the prac tice of medicine. The medical profession may be partly to blame for the interest which is being shown in socialized medicine. There is no question that , the high-handed methods used by some doctors and hospitals have turned a good many people against them. There is plenty of room for reform in the medical.profession, but there is no hope that adequate re form can be brought about by mix ing medicine with politics. Perhaps the doctors of this coun try should adopt the Chinese system under which we would pay them a certain fee each year to keep us well and not pay anything for treatment when we are sick. Perhaps there is some other solu tion. But whatever we do, let’s not throw medicine to ithe political wolves. SAY. “I SAW IT IN THE CHRON ICLE.” THANK YOU.
