Three Years
of Salk Vaccine
Just three years ajro this April the Salk
vaccine was officially pronounced safe and
effective and licensed for use by the U. S.
Government.
Since then, the polio picture in this coun
try has undergone a radical chanjre. Before
the Salk vaccine we strufrjrled with an
erratic but mounting series of polio epi
demics that reached their peak in 1962 with
57,879 cases. l>ast year, owing to widespread
vaccination, the number dropped to 5,894.
By this time it is clear that the Salk vaccine,
developed on grants from the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, is one
of the triumphant milestones in the history
of modem medical science.
What, in the meantime, has happened to
vaccination ?
The first year it was given mainly to
grade school children — some 10 million of
them. The second year it was made available
to young persons up to 20 and expectant
mothers and some .‘J5 million were injected,
l^ast year a crash vaccination program
directed at all persons under 40 added 20
million more, making a total of 65 million.
A big job done in a remarkably short time.
But not good enough. For Basil O’Con
nor. president of the National Foundation
for Infantile ilmdyiis. warns us that, with
46 million Americans still unvaccinated, we
may still have polio epidemic* next summer
The answer? There is enough vaccine for
every body now. regardless of age. It's pain
inwt It’s .nexpenaive. It** effective pro
tection again*t a lifetime of paralysu

tain high benefit* and a healthy economy i*
not the same in all statee. Yet the drive for
federalization ... would deprive the states
of discretion in the matter.” The paper
adds, with full justice, that the reault would
be ”. . . not earned compensation’, but the
dole.’’
If the pushers of that "panic button” have
their way. we’re going to wind up with a
centralized welfare state comparable to the
British model—and, with it, we’re going to
have a degree of inflation that really will
curl the national hair. It’s becoming obvi
ous that the current recession is providing a
crucial test of the American character.
The heavy hand of an intrenched, rule-bound
bureaucracy is felt everywhere. The principal
basic industries are still nationalized, and
even the major privately-owned enterprises
are dominated by government.
Under such circumstances, it is natural
that the young people should be discontent
ed and rebellious. They feel that they are
ciphers, with little or no chance to get ahead,
to make the most of their energies and abil
ities, to lead useful, productive and satisfy
ing lives. This is always a fruit of the super
state. no matter what particular philosophy
it is grounded in.
Prep School For
Communism
Spruille Braden, formerly U. S. Ambas
sador to several I^atin jftnerican countries
and later Assistant Secretary of State, ob
serves: “Ijet us face it. socialism is nothing
more than a prep school for communism.”
This was said in a speech in which he vigor
ously opposed giving U. S. aid to such coun
tries as India and Yugoslavia.
It would seem that the cost of helping our
friend* is heavy enough, without spending
huge sums on nations which have close ties
with Moscow*, our ideological enemies, and
whose sole interest in this country is signi
fied by the dollar sign.

Youth In The
Welfare State
According to a recent Gallup Poll, 56 per
cent of Great Britain’s youn? people—those
between 21 and 34 years would like
to leave their native isles and settle in anoth
er corner of the globe.” The first four pre
ferred countries of emigration, in order, are
Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the
United States.
Other surveys made in late years have pro
duced a comparable result. And some stu
dents have conducted exhaustive inquiries as
to why England’s youth—those on whom her
future depends—should wish to forever leave
their homeland in overwhelming numbers.
Naturally, the reasons are many and va
ried. But one of the big ones is found in Eng
land’* welfare state. Government control* are
and along with them has come a
burden of taxation. Opportunity for
yonng people is limited to the
ly sari with
•ad rracliua by the AFL-fjo Mate
m mm mrpnaiag Htoae * at
tewdaare were aiaiaiy tbe labor bon— tbemaalvoa
and thetr attitude doe* not neceuanly rrfiert the at
titude of the rank and file union member* la fart, as
many elections have shown—total, state and national
—the vole of union member* is quite often at variance
with that of their union bo*tea
It is to be hoped that by taking the matter frankly
and fearlessly before (he dec tor ate, Senator Know-
land can achieve the same results as those achieved
by the late Senator Robert F Taft when he was simi
larly opposed by labor bosses and labor union money
in Ohio Senator Taft was bitterly opposed by organ
ized labor on account of the Taft Hartley Act, but he
earned the case to the people, he went into the plants
and talked to the union members, and he emerged
from the election with the largest majority in his po
litical history.
One disappointing report received in California
was that Senator Knowland’s right to work campaign
may not be too well supported by certain segments of
industry itself. It was said that, a poll of one group of
industrial leaders showed that 55Ci of them were op
posed to bringing the right to work law into the pic
ture at all, saying, "We now have labor peace, let’s
not stir things up.” This is a very shortsighted and
fallacious attitude to take. In entirely too many cases,
what they have is not labor peace but labor domina
tion; and they can be quite sure that if they do not
continue to give in to labor demands, things will be
“stirred up” by the labor bosses whether manage
ment wants it that way or not.
In fact, it is this very “giving in" by important
segments of American industry that has to a con
siderable extent brought on the current recession and
that makes it exceedingly difficult to emerge from it.
The best way to meet a slowing in demand is bx ^ut-
ting prices, but when there is a rigidity in costs
brought on by the monopoly power of organized la
bor, as is the case now in many instances, then there
can be little price adjustment and we reach a stale
mate The current slump has bee* well called a "la
bor mmm riapratea ” The only way to mmempt the

rest of the people ' is to Ml* work levs
