But now it is different. suddenly add new zest to living. fl ia sap will run strong in every living thing. Nature will Advertising and public relations have, indeed, much in! common, although the Medical Association won't appreciate the bracketing. Its members will assure you that medical advertising violates their code of ethics and is several cuts beneath professional dignity. : . It will suit their hand better to consider their public relations expert as a counselor, a special pleader before the bar of the public. There is nothing in the medical code against . hiring lawyers. , So Whitaker and his staff will plead before the bar of the public, which is to say they will conjure up interviews, statistics, organizational statements.and other material, all or most of which -will have some “‘news value’, and which in due season will be presented to the public, largely in the columns of the daily press. All of this may properly be dubbed ‘‘propoganda.”” The public dislikes propaganda but there. is no law hired, non-professional agent—involve any loss of caste by members of the California Medical Association. A San Francisco news account of the Whitaker incident contains this statement: “It was known that ‘the association has taken the stand that ‘money is no object’ in defeating the proposed act.” The California Medical Association has a legal right to spend money to defeat the Warren program. It has likewise had the right to finance, 10 or 5 or 2 years ago, research to develop an adequate health insurance plan for the state. ‘It might even have told experts assigned to such a_ task that “money was no object.’’ But medical associations, is seems, don't work that way.—Humbolt Times. UP OR DOWN? Some long gone physicist with a philosophical flare once we know the observation has never been disproved. The cost of living today is up, "way up, despite OPA's priceholding efforts. But there is some disagreement as to whether it will come down after the war — and if so, how much, There is even dispute over whether living costs have materially advanced since the figures on menus and price tags appear only slightly higher than before the war. In war time, howewver, regardless of what the buyer pays, he usually gets second quality goods and fourth rate ser‘vice—-so prices are really stratospheric. Come peace, if prices don’t descend, the quality of both goods and services will certainly have to climb to meet them. : Those few commodities and fewer services which, under all the pressures and difficulties of the times, have continued in high caliber production and service without premium rates, deserve special encomiums. Recently pointed out by an eminent engineer economist was California’sshighly favorable position as compared with the rest of the nation in the field of elecparison with areas where costs of developing power are ‘‘cheap in this state’, rates here proved ‘‘generally materially lower’’ according to Roy A. Wehe of the California Railroad Commission. But along with other costs, electrical rates, will come down, he predicted, “regardless of what agency supplies the service; and privately operated utilities under regulation: are wholly capable of performing the task.” © Mr. Wehe’s findings may not be in exact accord with those of the early phycisist, but they will please a lot of people who in these times rarely see an instance where a living cost, in effect, “comes down’’—without ever having ‘“‘gone up.’ —Contributed. NAZI SELF-PITY : It becomes clearer every day, as the end nears for Hitler’s boot-clicking followers, that Nazi Germany never had seriously considered the age-old warning that he who lives by the sword must expect to perish by the sword. To the struttin gNazis it was unthinkable that the conqueror might one day become the conquered—and that Germany’s cities would suffer the fearful fate they had inflicted Cried a Berlin radio commentator a few days ago: “No people can take the measure of our suffering, our heart-rending grief, our buried hopes. _. “In the midst of a once clean and sheltered life, war has. over taken us, with all its filth and misery.” . But the world almost exhausted its pity, on Germany’s own victims; it has. little left to expend on Germany. There are few to she tears for the blood-thirsty who are now bloody and beaten. There will be few murmurs at the funeral of Berlin.—Contrbiuted. : % SPRING WILL COME a Next month, or the month thereafter, spring will come to California.

It has ever been so since the world began—an old phenomenon, always: beckoning us on with new hopes to blot out old fears. And one day—not too far distant, we hope and pray— our long, hard winter of war will pass away too. The awful hurricane of death and destruction will end; there will be no more nights of anguish, no more casualty lists to read in fear and trembling. Peace will come to our land and our world one day, just as certainly as spring will come. And knowing that, we can better endure this winter of war.—Contributed. day to look at a big piece of plate glass: being installed in a storefront. It was the lunch hour and the workmen were not busy. As they ate they drank from bottles. When the bottles wete’ empty, they broke them. The incident gave me a distinct shock, and I never forgot it. ack in Oklahoma, 60 miles from a railroad where I had learned to walk as well as to plow, every manufactured thing was deemed to have value. My mother literally hoarded bottles for many useful purposes. A milk bottle would have been prized in her collection. My curiosity won a battle with bashfulness and I asked the workmen why they broke the bottles, and they told me. Idea to Make Work. “You see, buddy,’’ the foreman explained, “‘we work in glass: So do the: working men. who make the bottles. The more bottles we break the more work they will have.”’ Later I learned that this was a tradition of the industry, supposedly based on fellowship and loyalty to Labor. At first I was very much confused—loyalty to Labor seemed entirely right to me, destructiveness entirely wrong. Just recently, Edward T. Cheyfitz, national chairman of an important labor union, a member of the National Reconversion Committee of the C.I.O., touched on the subject in as clear and sound an economic ‘treatise as I ever, read. It appeared in the December issue of Fortune, He called bottle breaking a waste of labor and raw material, typical of an old fashioned and wrong attitude toward jobs and wages. For High Production. This big labor leader said, ‘‘I know of numerous cases in prewar days where workers deliberately held down production because they had been made to feel that this was the road to wage and employment security: We must educate union membership,”’ he continued, ‘‘to. . practice high productivity. Certainly labor can not increase its own share of goods by producing less.”’ To sum up the whole article, Mr. Cheyfitz contends that labor and management must find a common ground if our nation, as~now constituted, is to survive. He said the surviyal of labor unions depends on {the same thing. To find this common ground, the C.I.0. man suggests that labor and management travel the same road of maximum production. Let me add, he is right.
