Now being used to exter- minate all forms of disease-carrying insects for our armies in the tropics, the dispenser discharges a mist which is fatal to flies and mosquitoes but is harm- less to man.

Britain’s Health Plan (New York Times) In his recent address on the “Health Aspects of Social Security in Britain” Sir Willlam Beveridge had much to say about health insurance. On the |quality of medical care he was silent beyond assert- ing that his plan “makes it part of the national minimum for every British citizen to be at all times as well as science can make him.” The British Gov- |ernment is just as vague It has merely accepted the broad principle of a health and rehabilitating service “through the general practitioner, the con- sultant, the hospital and every related branch of professional up-to-date methods. Judging from his speech of last March, the Min- ister of Health would carry out the Beveridge plan {through local authorities Both he and the British Medical Association advocate the medical center. We may assume, then, that instead of trying to super- vise several hundred scattered panel doctors whose standards are not high, the local authorities will rely on more easily controlled medical centers. But this implies group practice on the prepayment prin- ciple, and hence a kind of competition in rendering service that no panel doctor can meet. | Neither Sir William nor the Minister of Health| has indicated how medical standards are to be main- tained at a uniformly high level. Some. supervising body is clearly necessary. come forth with a plan which does all that Sir Wil- | liam demands and which also calls for the central supervision of local authorities.
