Not Slaves Forever . .
With the" ink now dry on the Indochina
truce, the .reactions of the free world have
had time to become known. As expected,
almost everyone is glad that the bloodshed
has ended but almost no one is happy with
the price paid for the end of the bloodshed.
The Indochina truce, like the Korean truce,

Also, we da. not like it because it is not a

even a little bit, When there is the lingering
feeling that the West could have won, de

to lose enough blood' and treasure in the
cause. We don't like to admit that the French ,
lost to superior force of arms and. superior,

any idea that the Indochinese people were
not solidly on our side in the first place,,,
and we hate the thought that it is somehow
our fault that, millions of people are now
behind the Iron Curtain who once were this
side of it. President Eisenhower spoke for .
" Us all when he said he wanted no truck with
documents that make slaves of men. -1
But perhaps it is not as "bad as -it seems
on first appraisal. From. :the standpoint of
the Indochinese people themselves, the truce -means
that it will go hard withthe politi-
cal leaders of the pro-French forces. They
probably will be shot, or worse. The same
fate is in store for landlords, businessmen, in- "
tellectuals and others whom the Reds deem
dangerous to their regime. But for the great";
masses, life'will go on much as before: They .
will continue to work hard, to 'suffer neglect
and abuse, to live with difficulty and-die.,
early after the age-old patterns of the East.

HANDICAP
'A Real Fine FelloW
W6've never had anything like it before,'
said the University of, Oregon student union
manager about the crowd that turned up
to hear Dr. Ralph Bunche Tuesday. ,
The distinguished American is now head
-of, the United Nations Trusteeship Council
.but is perhaps still best known for his work
in ending the Israeli-Arab open warfare with
a truce in 1949. At the Eugene meeting, Dr.
Bunche expressed "reasonable" optimism
:v about the.: future -"We must learn to' live
together or-perish together.. But I believe
that man through his essentially good heart
will meet that challenge" and reaffirmed
his belief in the United Nation's m o r, a 1
strength as a preventive j for war. "
Dr. Bunche showed himself a scholar and
a gentleman and more; he showed he has
the common touch and a sense of humor
which must sustain him in situations which
Would ..otherwise be extremely difficult. At
his "press conference in Eugene, the tall, gen
; tie-voiced Negro recalled his earlier travels
to Oregon. He had played football and bas-
ketball against both . the , Web foots and the
. "Aggies at OAC while a, student at the
( University of California, and he remembered i
losing to Oregon and beating Oregon State .
; because "the Aggies had that slow offensive."
And he told a story which must have brought
a smile to his listeners: Once at an elegant
dinner party attended by many nationalities
and races, Dr. Bunche's dinner companion,
an American woman, viewed the mixed com
pany with great distaste. Evidently "taking
Bunche for an Indian, she asked him, "How
would you like to have your daughter marry
. a Negro?" .. 4 '
' En route to Eugene from Portland Dr. ,
Bunche had stopped in Salem Tuesday to
' have lunch at the Marion Hotel with Gov.

about with Dr. Bunche, and members of the
party agreed that he was a stimulating per
son.' He did not strike them as an ivory-tower
type; instead he seemed, "yery down to
earth' and "k very warm personality" and
a real -fine fellow." .

the United States is indeed fortunate, to be

dure. They, are the mute and .the meek.
They will not remain mute and meek for-'
ver, though. All over the world, they are
stirring and beginning to make themselves
heard and felt. The seeds of revolution are
widely scattered, and theJmute and the meek
are fertile soil. For a while the Red masters
of Asia may stun their new" slaves into com
pliance, but the people who fought to throw
off the French will not long be content un
. der the oppression of the new imperialists.
Eisenhower said he knows of no one who
advocates tht the U. S. should go to war to
unify Korea and Indochina. , We' will not go
uninvited to liberate the slaves by force,
even though we think it would be for their
own good. .But when the slaves decide by
themselves that they have had enough and
try once more to break the bonds of the
oppressor, then the free world will go to
,their aid. That time will comeblood will
flow once more in the rice paddies and the
jungles, theirs and ours. In the instances at
hand, cannot we who are free wait as pat
iently as those who are not?

Re-Insnra-ee Without Merit
To the Editor: .
- Your leading editorial of Sat-
? urday, January 17, 954 entitled
:"Myopic Surgery" deserves a re
ply.'. . ' -
- ,The burden of your editorial
was.' first, that the Eisenhower
administration's proposal for fed-
' eral insurance of private :'
health Insurance plans was a use- '
lul and constructive approach to
'the ; problem of providing cover
age for' individuals who cannot
now. secure -it and,' second, that:
it was defeated because of oppo- -sition
by myopic AMA. I submit'
that both parts of this thesis arer
if not wholly untrue, at least of .
very questionable accuracy: ' ? '
Experienced executives of the
non-profit Blue Shield plans are
' overwhelmingly Of the opinion ;
that tbe re-insurance proposal is
' without any real- merit Their
opinions are based purely on the
practical aspects of the proposal.
The reasons why the experts
think the re-insurance proposal
is not useful boil down to -the fact
that the proposal would not re
duce the cost; it would not make
insurance available to any class,
of risk or geographic' area not
now within the capabilities ; of
voluntary insurers to reach.'"'
The re-insurance plan if it were
used at all would get only losing
business and hence-would surely
be turned into a form of direct
federal subsidy for ' voluntary
plans. This is as objectionable to
'the voluntary plans as a federal'
subsidy would be to newspapers.
There was powerful and active
opposition from other than AMA.
quarters. Insurance companies
and the U. S. Chamber of Com-
"merce, -among others, opposed it.
It is my opinion that no congress- - ;
man who was well informed 'on -this
subject would voteTIor the
proposal on its noa-political mer
its. Its political merit is . another
issue.
It might be pointed out that
.for many years -the doctors in
Oregon have in fact re-insured tbe
- Oregon Physicians' -Service
through their pledge to -provide
iServke even though they were
paid nothing or only a small por
tion of the approved fee sched
. ule. "
. Though it has been demonstrat
ed that excellent protection can
be provided employed groups by
voluntary insurance the problem
of . financing medical care for
i the unemployable, temporarily
' unemployed and retired persons
remains the major problem.
It will be generally agreed that
at present medical care for 'the
' unemployable is properly a di
rect charge upon the state or
. upon private charity. These per
sons probably cannot r ever be
come insurable fjsfcs.. But the
temporarily unemployed and the
retired can be included in insur-
able groups. .The problem lies in
keeping these people as members -
of large groups and in continuing
- premium payments. . t
One approach to the problem
of the temporarily unemployed
might be to have the unemploy
ment insurance benefits extend-
. ed to include payment of the
group policy premiums in force
at the time employment: termi
nated. Retired persons might re
tain membership in their group
. contracts at the same rates and
t L.. :i ilu
bers if the premium rates for
.the whole group were raised to
cover the excess cost of the older
'age persons in the group. -This
could be and has been
done voluntarily by some groups.
11 nugni aiso . oe consider ea
whether insurance carriers should
, be required to load the premiums
sufficiently to set up reserves
which, would enable them to
carry retired members of groups
at rates and benefits the same
as for ,the-younger persons core-
- yvsuig - uic cuyc group. . -
The " growth of voluntary pre
paid medical care ' plans has
been phenomenal and has work
ed a profound change upon the
economics of tbe cost of medical
'care. Much remains to be done,
- but there is reasonable grounds
for hoping that K may be done
without the imposition of what is
losely termed "Socialized Medi-
.cine.?' .'.i.
