it passed the senate and the

Malaria
Preventive measures have cut. the .rate ,6f malaria
infection among American soldiers overseas by 75
per cent since the 1943 peak, says' the OWL The
report on aimed services malaria problems released
last week, however, warns that the number of victims
among men and women returned from overseas may
be expected to increase. ' i
Wide areas of the U. S. are potentially malarious.
The anopheline mosquito, the malaria carrier which
stands on her head when she bites, exists in every
state. Yet, the threat of large scale epidemic is not so
frightening in the light of new control methods de
vised in the emergency of war.

i nave heard no explanation of
this phenomenon. Perhaps it is
due to the color blindness of the
hotel management, or this is
Just a surmise on my part it
might have been named in honor
of Russia. Hotel attaches I asked
did not know.
e e
THIS facetious phenomenon
is not the least spectacular
phase of the real picture present
ed. Imagine, if you can, 2100
newsmen gathered in a few
hotels alongside what seemed to
be an equal number of publicists,
a name by which propagandists,
both good and bad, go these
days. But first imagine, 2100
newsmen. I did not know there
were that many international or
diplomatic reporters. To accu
mulate that many, they had to
raise in the Hardware Gazette
and the Squegee Weekly Jour
nal, 'ine herd of "publicists" ran
the same gamut of extremity.
Every cause that exists any
where in the world was repre
sented by them, some quietly,
some ably and some with great
ferocity. The stacks of daily
statements from them made the
Washington-, reportorial contin
gent, which has long lived in an
endless deluge of handouts, feel
almost at home. There was no
evidence of a paper shortage
among these zealous advocates
of causes, and the scope of some
of their enterprises suggested
they all had money behind them,
e e e
INDEED, the American delega-
tlon had an official collection
of what might be called official
cause-advisers, although actu
ally they are termed "consult
ants." These Include some of the
Washington lobbies, now elevat
ed to striped trousers in a fig
urative way, of course, for even
most of the topmost negotiators
wear business suits (something
new in conferences, also). Few,
however, were consulted and
knew little of what was going
on Inside.
The net result of all this was
a spectacle of causes which is
unique. And the serious conse
quence was that the conference
was plagued with pressures as
if held in Pandora's box.
e e .e"
IT could not possibly solve half
1 these problems with which it
was presented. It could not con
sider them within a year. Many
are age-old and the best thinkers
have never been able to solve
them before. The difficulties of
attaining realism in such sur
roundings also are apparent.
There was an interesting brass
plaque in the opera house foyer
where the plenary sessions were
held. It was placed there to cele
brate the achievement of the city
in completing, in 1932, the struc
ture, comparable to the opera
houses in Europe. It reads: "Wai
Memorial Opera House: A living
monument of hopes realized and
dreams come true." That had a
noble secondary appreciation to
the conference. But the hectic I
activities of the publicists lndi ;
cated they interpreted It to mean j
all hopes and dreams were sup- i
posed to come true here.
I doubt that this will come to i
pass but a good realistic working
line for making dreams come.
