Friday, December 29, 1950 THE SUBSIDY SNARE Many times The Empire has discussed sucialized] medicine and along this line prints the following edi- torial from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer: | The American Medical Association. which won the | overwhelming support of the American electorate 1n“ its fight against the Truman administration’s efforts | to impose medicine through a system of cempulsory health insurance, has now moved to close a through which socialized medicine might creep in by steatth. The association has appropriated half a million dollars for the assistance of medical schools that need | their expenses or to expand their socialized breach money to meet services. The money will come out of the national educa- tion campaign fund—appropriately. since the fund was | raised for the purpose of defending medical freedom | and there is no surer way to do that than to prevent | lievers abundance. the medical schools of the country from being sub- sidized by the Federal government. “Federal subsidy,” said a statement issued by the association, “has come to be a burden, not a bounty. “It is bringing intolerable increases in taxation, and is dangerously increasing Federal controls over our institutions and the lives of our people.” That is an accurate estimate of the worth and the effect of Federal subsidies. Actually these “gifts” of Federal money are not gifts at all. The money comes out of the pockets of the taxpayers. including the pockets of those who receive the subsidies. And the price the, recipients of these pretended “gifts” pay for them is THEIR INDEPENDENCE. They surrender at least a part of their control over their own affairs to a horde of eager, arrogant Féderal bureaucrats, and they are exceptionally lucky if, in the long run, they do not lose their control | entirely. If the socialists of the Truman administration gained control of our medical colleges they would use their control to pervert medical education into an instrument for the advancement of state medicine. The best way to make sure the socialists do not get control is for private enterprise to finance the medical schools, so that they will not have to accept government handouts and government control. In its patriotic effort to do that the American Medical Association will need the help of other be- in free enterprise, and should have it in Perhaps we may relax just a little bit. Problems facing the United States couldn’t be quite so serious as we had been thinking they were, or the President wouldn’t have time to indulge in writing an intem- perate letter to a music critic. Prediction: Soon we’ll have rationing and control of wages and prices, and a lot of people will be going | around saying, “Now, I'm just as patriotic as anybody, put . . What a dilemma! Appeasement of the Com- munists won’t work, of course — and for several months non-appeasement hasn't been working any too well either.

Our duty as Republicans is to criticize and I think that ought to be made clear in this resolution.” Tait's gry outburst came after Gen. (.wen Brewster had proposed th the resolution conderining £ son be psstponed at lesst, un- t.l aiter t’2 Brussels ceaference. “This s exactly the right time to pass tn2 resolution, before Ache- son goes to the conference,” Taft countered, his eyes bristling. “We don't want any more ‘of him. All this soft talk against weakening Acheson is nonsense, We ought to weaken him. I don't want any agreement he will negotiate. That’s 1 our trouble—Acheson and his cements.” Bourke Hickenlooper of Iowa kacked up Taft. “Our soldiers are dying because of Acheson,” he ob- cerved. However, Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon differed. “We have no right to pull the rug out from under Acheson just before he goes to Brussels,” Morse argued. “These are private quarrels and we ought not to advertise them to the world.” Chan Gurney of South Dakota, ex-chairman of the Armed Services Committee, also tried to calm down the meeting. “This is a time for us to act like Americans, not like partisan Republicans,” he said. Taft glared ot Gurney as if the South Dakotan | meant this as a personal crack. 0Oil On Water Lean Leverett Saltonstall of Massachusetts moved to pour oil on the troubled waters by proposing a substitute resolution which call- ed for reorganization of the State Department from top to bottom without naming Acheson. In the argument that followed 15 Senators—the isolationist bloc— agreed with Taft. One of them, Ar- ihur Watkins of Utah, shook his : “This war just shows how the | 1s have come to roost for the ternationalists.” When it came time to decide on the straight oust-Acheson resolu- tion, George Malone of Nevada, us- ually an isolationist, commented: “I think this is a mistake, but if we can get action from the administration I'll vote for it.” Note—Among the anti-isolationist Republicans—in addition to Salton- stall, Morse and Gurney—are: To- bey of New Hampshire, Smith ol’ New ersey, Smith of Maine, Aiken of Vermont, Cordon of Oregon, Lodge of Massachusetts, Hendrick- son of New Jersey, with usually ‘Thye of Minnesota and hitherto Ives of New York.

Day lists some of the things that the Defense Fisheries Administra- tion intends to do about keeping fishery commodities in sufficient supply to satisfy the country's emergency needs. “First on the list will probably be the job of trying to keep the fish- | ing industry supplied with the steel, copper, brass, zinc, aluminum, fibers, and other strategic materials and facilities, as well as manpower, which it requires to produce the fishery products the country must have. But no more materials will be diverted to fishery production | than are justified in the light of other defense requirements, he points out. Statistical, marketing, and other economic data which are regularly collected by the Fish and Wildlife Service will be augmented, as they were during World War IL Allocation Program If the need arises fish allocation programs will be again placed in action as carried out in World War II. In Alaska, it was recalled, salmon concentration programs provided for the coordinated production of the packs of canned salmon in cer- tain centrally located canneries, thus saving manpower, transporta- tion, scarce materials, and other fa- cilities. Day said that if critical shortages develop, investigations will be uns, dertaken on the applicability of substitute materials for such items as containers for fishery products, fishing nets and other fishing de- vices, and cordage. Closely allied work for improving the operation tr2 reduc- Ag opera- beengto these studies will be development of fishing gear, and for tion in marpower in fis’ tions.

Minister Bevin has proposed that west Germany be permitted to build the once-dreaded U-boats again. Bevin told Secretary Acheson at Brussels .7at Germany could build be’ier submarines than any nation in the world, so the ship- yards of Hamburg and Bremen, should be put to work to catch up with the Russians who now have ralmost 400 modern subs. Some diplomats marveled that England, twice nearly starved out by Ger-| man submarines, should now make | this proposal. ACROSS . Slavs . Ropes: nauw . Ripe . Pressed .
