TO.OOO DIE ANNUALLY OF T. B.
IN THE U. S. & TERRITORIES
So spectacularly successful has
been the tuberculosis control pro
gram in the United States during
the past 35 years that the public
is losing sight of the danger that
this disease is to the people of
all ages, states Dr. Thomas Par
ran, Surgeon General of the Unit
ed States Public Health Service
tin a recent broadcast over a
nation-wide net work of the Na
tional Broadcasting Company.
Taking as h s topic the speed
ing up of tuberculosis control.
Dr. Parran said that an invest
ment made now to speed up this
control would be aelf-(liquidat
ing for all time.
“Tuberculosis is perhaps our
most expensive disease, the mak
er of widows and orphans, the
destroyer of earning capacity and
of productive power,” Dr. Parran
said. “Why should we pass this
burden on to our children?”
“A disease that kills 70,000 of
our people annually and that
still ranks as the leading cause of
death among people between the
ages of 15 and 45 as certainly
not yet under control,” Dr. Par
ran said. “There are complacent
people who believe in letting
probl-ms work themselves out.
Though great strides have been
made and progress in the reduc
tion of tuberculosis has been;
steady, there are still carriers in;
the way which we cannot tol
erate.”
Dr. Parran spoke in connection
with the twelfth annual Early
Diagnosis Campaign of the Na
tional Tuberculosis Association
and its affiliated groups through
out the States & Territories. The |
theme of this years campaign is,
Help Find Early Tuberculosis,
8 out of 10 Who Come to the,
Sanatoruim Are Advanced Cas
es.”
“In viewing the tuberculosis
s.tuation in the aggregate, it may:
■s em more promising and opto
m&tie than it actually is” Dr.
Parran said. “For example, stat
stics of the National Tuberculos
Association tells us that there
are now available in the United
S ate.- about 100,000 beds for the
treatment of Tuberculosis. It
sounds huge. But statistics tell
u; aL-o that we should have a
.mirrmum of 132,000 beds and<
about one-third more than we ac
•t.. lly have. Even this does not
tgll the full story, for the beds
r; v available arc unevenly d.s-1
tr' uted. In certain areas, the l
n .■.•mum has been reached and
in a few exceeded. But there are
v. t areas where there is a great ]
shortage.
We cannot move beds around
fr r one slate to another as a;
•h -ewife might shift her furni-.
tv , Therein e, we really need;
<n> i'. than 132,000. If we are to'
pi ,;;!e adequately for the sec
t .n gieatest need we shall
(1 to establish fully 40.000
beds."
~-.nenting on the talk by:
1 Farran, Harry G. Watson,
P lent of the Alaska Tyber-(
Ct Association said; “No-‘
v' i\ in the country Is this con-'
dif' i more serious than in Al
a-. . Here we have probably 3
high r death rate from lubercul
©s - than any other section, ye*.;
there is not a public or private1
institution in the Territory in,
wh . h the indvidual afflicted with
tuberculosis can receive the care
and treatment which is necessary
to effect a cure of this disease.
We had hoped to inaugurate a
modest plan of sanatoria with the
purchase of the Goddard Hot
Sorings but ttiis provision in the
Bill before the last Legislature
failed of passage. It is evident
that some action on this matter
should be taken in the near fu
ture. Until this is poss ble, we
must concentrate our efforts on
finding tuberculosis in its earliest
stages when, through care and
the advice of a physician, it is
possible to cure it in the home."

STOP HITLER STEPS
LONDON — Turning her back
, on a long established policy of no
: military commitments in Europe
east of the Rhine, Great Britain
guaranteed that the British Fleet
along with the French Army and
1 the combined Air Forces of the
i two nations would fight to pro
tect the states of eastern Europe
from further Nazi aggresion.
For Britain, this step marked
the en dof 6 yearns effort to
get along with Adolf Hitler. Time
after time Fuerher Hitler has
torn up treaties, ignored agree
ments, threatened neighboring
states with invasion. As many
times Britain has looked the oth
er way. When the Fuerher mov
ed into Czechoslovakia, British
statesmen realized that he had
embarked on a policy of conquest
aimed at nothing less than dom
ination of Europe, if not the
world.
Flush from the Czech seizure,
the Fuerher began to threaten Po
land. The German Army was al
ready partly mobilized. Troops
were moved toward the Polish
Corridor and Danzig, where Po
land has large interests and in
vestments. East Prussia had be
come an armed camp. Finally the
Nazi government submitted its
demands: German absorption of
Danzig, a German auto road ac
ross the Polish Corridor, a Polish
signature on the German-Italian
Japanese anti-Comintern Pact.
Poland's hour of unequal strug
gle with the Nazi giant seemed
at hand. Poland, with a bigger
population (34,000,000), bigger
area (150.000 sq. mi.), bigger
standing army (285.000) than
Czechoslovakia was too big a na
tion to let fall into German
hands.
Recently Poland got what
Czechoslovakia had pleaded for
in vain. Before a hushed, crowd
ed House of Commons 70-vear
old Prime Minister Neville Cham
berlain announced that Britain
and France were negotiating
with eastern Europeon nations a
tight system of military agree
ments to resist further Nazi ag
gression.
Said he:
“. . . Recent happenings have,
rightly or wrongly, made every
state which lies adjacent to Ger
many unhappy, anxious and un
certain about Germany’s future

intention. What we are concern
ed with is to preserve our in
dependence. When I say our in
dependence, I do not mean this
! country only. I mean the inde
i pendence of all states which may
| be threatened by aggression. We
| therefore welcome the coopera
tion of any country, what-ever
may be its internal system of gov
| ernment, not in aggression, but
in resistance to aggression. We
: cannot live forever in an at
1 mosphere of surprise and alarm
from which Europe has suffered
in recent months. The common
business of life cannot be car
ried on in a state of uncertainty.”
Mr. Chamberlain's words open
j ed the way for Poland, Rumania,
Turkey, the Soviet Union, Greece
Yugoslavia — all to join Britain
i and France in a pledge to aid
one another in case of attack.
The British government has
flatly dropped all pretense of con
tinental neutrality. It was an ev
ent that went a long way toward
restoring the balance of power
that had lately swung heavily in
favor of the dictators. If Cham
berlain’s words meant anything,
they meant that from now on.
Hitler will have few if any more1
bloodless conquests.
The world may now find the
answers to two questions long
debated: Can Hitler and his Nazi
remain in power long without
foreign “diversion?” When the;
Fuerher threatens invasion is he!
bluffing or prepared to wage
war? Another question was vir
tually settled in the affirmative:
If war does come, Germany will
again have to fight on eastern
and western fronts.
Major Vernon Bartlett, M. P.,
offered a “peace formula” to the
House of Commons: “We shall
not be able to enjoy ourselves
until Franco's widow tells Stalin
on his deathbed that Hitler has
been assassinated at Mussolini’s
funeral.”
