FAVO N,AL EDITORIAL -j------------------------ ----- ,------------------- SOCIALIZED MEDICINE ANOTHER STEP TO SOCIALISM A few of our readers have recently eommente«! that the) have not seen an opinion expressed by this newspaper ,,n social taed medicine. While we have commented on the so-called social !«? iaed medicine bill, we arc afraid that our opinion would imt ‘’"'5^.!°” "I, ,'V ight as "e are on,y “n<> °f th* >”’e hnndre«! and fifty odd million people living in this country We Ix lieve this is just another step toward a socialistic state toward which the whole world is leaning. In the first place we can’t see the sense of any nation with as many resources as we have voluntarily submitting our-« L e to further regimentation. From what w'e know of England's plight, smiidism is a symptom of the economic ills facing that country. For us the logical solution it seems to us is to conserve our natural resources, rather than jumping at some utopia which promises an earthly paradise. Kashmis’ to Make Decision In the next place we would hate to take anv pills adminis adniinis- tered by politicians, such as would be the ease’ if government stepped in ami tried to keep us well and happy. If the politician pills were any worse than the politicians' promises, we could be a lot woree off under the socialized medicine program. The doctor who could develop into the most efficient politician would be the one who profits under any program of socialized medicine. His skill would be a secondary consideration as it is in some countries which have socialized'medicine. Frmn what we have observed and read of the operation of the plan m England, it isn’t all good and it isn't all bad but the bad far outweighs the good in our opinion. For the ordinary fellow, it’s quite a chore to wait to see a doctor, if time mean's anything, hut where it’s free to the public, we might saf.lv multiply the waiting period several times ami the reason is that we have a lot of people suffering with mental or imaginar. ills under our system many are held back only by lack of finane. s If we h"ve been correctly informed, under the English system the general practitioner or the ordinary country doctor faees extinction. In smaller communities such as this, the conn try doctor plays an important part; we are not large enough for the so called specialist. It would indeed be pretty tough on most of ns to drive from twenty to one hundred fifty miles to get a bad case of the old fashione«! stomach ache cured. Even worse we are told under the English system, if you move you keep the same doctor, which might involve considerable incenv. n ience and sometimes death. &CHLM We could cite a few other objections, but the disagreeabh ; feature of the whole setup it seems to us is not having the privi lege of changing doctors, if and when we thought the occasion I demanded. This thought puzzles us. if we advance much further into Kashmir—< ■•nr” r ilc- ret! 1,000,000 people—borders this cradle to the grave security idea and have the government on both Ind: t and Pakistan and is scheduled to decide by supply us everything nee«led including a $100.1)0 per month plebiscite which it will join.

We were on the gold standard then, but appar ently liecause other nations did not have enough gold to us.- as a medium of exchange, we went off the gold standard and started hoarding the gobi at Fort Knox. Now the principal users of gold seem to be for jewelry or to fill teeth and we are not sun that gold is commonly used for the latter arty more. Evidently the government is still coining a few gold pieces, as Mrs. Nellie Ross, the mint director, is credited with the state ment that a million dollars in gold weigh exactly one ton and that this amount will fit in an ordinary lady’s hat. We are reminded too that every’time we suffer a slight economic maladjustment. someone steps up with a new plan to manage our money or medium of exchange. They either want to start the printing presses going, which has been tried several times without success by several nations including our own or devise some other means of making money easier to get. Our monetary sr-tup is in a pretty delicate balance ami every time we go to monkeying with it. in trying to change its value we get into trouble. It s too complicated for most of us to understand. Our way of life and the freedoms we enjoy are just as deli cately balanced and one of the easiest things to lose as many of our European neighbors ran testify.

We were reminded of this fart onlv recently in a note from one of our subscribers. .Most newspaper people know better, but are sorely tempted to use the shorter term simply because it’s more convenient.
