ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES Fourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. — e " Alaska Newspapers, 1411 FREEDOM OF NEWS « The first thing Mussolini did when domplete power in Italy, the first thing when he took over control in Germany, the first thing the Japanese imperialists did when they stamped qut the fragile beginnings of paliamentary government if their own country, was to impose a censorship. An absclutist government cannot survive in an almosp;\ere of complete, accurate and generally available informa- tion. The human mind has to be starved and distorted before it will accept such systems. In the long view this fact is decidedly encouraging. It gives democracy a weapon which democracy knows how to use. he gained Hitler did It is accordingly of the utmost importance that our Government, with Secretary Hull playing an active in the decision, proposes to include in the peace tlement with Germany and to urge upon its friends and allies the removal of all unnecessary restrictions upon the free exchange of news and other information in the post-war world. With Germany—and later with Japan—there need be no difficulty. We infend to take sufficient control in those countries to permit free movement of reporters and other fact-gatherers and to enforce free circulation by means of the printed word, the radio and the motion picture. Lookin ahead, we can be confident that the appetite for news can be so stimulated that the German and Japanese governments of the future will not be able to repress it, even after controls have been relaxed. There should be no difficulty with our allies and friends, on whom, of course, we neither would nor could impose controls.

Democratic |naticns and nations which proiess to be moving toward democracy could hardly object to the dis- { semination of the truth. The scholasticists, like Pilate 'ma) indeed ask what truth is. But any newspaper reader knows in practical terms what it is and any | population which has been uppressed by an arbitrary censorship knows what it is that it has missed. World news might be restricted, not by censorship but by the cost or difficulty of transmission. Chair- man Fly of the Federal Communications Commission gets down to brass tacks when he brings up the ques- tion of fair and uniform cable and wireless rates, and of equal access by all peoples and persons to the com- ations facilities. On the technical as on the | organized way muni If such a system is established and maintained, and if the right to enjoy it is recognized as basic, no such | monsters as Hitler are likely again to gain dominion over the minds of men A Federal Medl 'ul System (New York Times) A soldier who is wounded in battle or who falls ill is taken without unreasonable delay to a field hospital, where he receives preliminary treatment and his case is diagnosed and classified. Whereupon he is transported to a base hospital for such further surgical or medical attention as he may need. We have nothing quite like this for civilians—not even in cities of metropolitan size. Dr. Thomas Parran, Surgeon General of the United States Public Health Service, proposed a similar organization for the country as a whole when he appeared before Senator Pepper’s committee. He would establish outlying clinics in the sparsely populated districts, hospitals back of these and base medical centers in the States, with the sick transferred from one to the other, as diseases or injuries demanded. Moreover, these clinics, hos- pitals and medical centers wouid serve as teaching institutions for family physicians who are practicing in outmoded ways because there are no local con- sultants and laboratories to aid them. With the system advocated by Dr. Parran the great hospitals and schools of the large cities and the remote country clinics would be woven into a single fabric. Grants from the Federal Government would enable the poorer States to forge their own links in this medical chain. In these days of motor-ambulances and automo- | biles physicians who practice in small communities would thus be able to transport patients who need special care to the nearest clinic or hospital. Patients | who could be treated at home would also benefit, because their physicians would have the diagnostic assistance of a local hospital laboratory—something | impossible in many rural districts at present. Those who cannot afford to pay anything would resort directly to the local hospital or clinic for free care, much as they do now in the large cities. If Dr. Parran spoke more boldly than in former years, it is probably because the conviction is deep- ening and spreading that something must be done to correct long-standing inequalities in medical care. On this all the authorities agree. Despite the fact that medicine has long been “socialized” for mental cases and for many infectious diseases, especially tubercu- losis, by Federal, State and municipal governments, | there is general opposition to the abolition of private practice. Dr. Parran’s plan should meet with lhe | approval of even the most conservative. more | record of the Roosevelt boys.

General news from war fronts should be good but there is a portent of severe fighting by our armies. HEART AND HOME: There is a sign that tends to overcautiod which protects United Nations forces from unduve risks and adds to the confidence of American ci- vilians. But the stars presage dar- ing that reveals the genius of Am- erican fighters and their command- ers. This is a fortunate date for women who pray for loved ones in far-off battle zones. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Sharp gains in commercial bank earnings will continue in the autumn. Mer- chants will reap good profits. Buy- ing will be brisk, owing to the needs of families that have prac- ticed patriotic economies. Wage earners will continue to spend gen- ericusly, although many will face uncertainty in war industry em- ployment NATIONAL I1SSUES: Uranus |and Mercury in aspects that en- courage clear vision regarding Gov- {ernment affairs presage an exciting | period just before the November lelection. The public will demand Hmommnon regarding candidates \for all high offices. There is a portent of the uncovering of some- {thing like a last hour scandal. | INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: China continues under rather sin-| ister aspects, but there is promise of success next “month when the lunation falls on General Chiang (Kai-shek's Venus. The outlook seems to indicate difficulties that extend into next year. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of good fortune which should include happy marriage for many young persons. Children born on this day prob- ably will be artistic, affectionate jand well-balanced. Quick temper and an inclination to criticize may require wise discipline.
