disaster, if not self-destruction. The majority of people
oiing some form, of alcohooc beverage are able to ki
mainly within the limits of moderation. These people,
do not constitute a part of the alcoholic problem cite
Public Health Service However, a minority of ail drink
about 4,000,000 are classified by officials as uncontrolled drinkers. Of
this group, approximately 1,000.000 are known to be chronic alcoholics
—people suffering from bodily and-or mental ills in connection with
their compulsive drinking,
Use estimated number of chronic alcoholics has been arrived at
through hospital and court record* primarily. However, many people
are treated in hospitals for conditions resulting from alcoholism and
are'not recorded as alcoholics. Other* are lucky and escape the court
stignuu—for a time anyway. Hence, we can reasonably conclude that
the true number of chronic alcoholics in the l’. S. might well be eon-
sidenjbly larger than the 1.000.000 estimate.
There are many of us who know some capable, likeable person who
drinks too much and cannot atop, thus causing family and economic
difficulties. _ '
Certainly, that person is worthy of help, and, in most cases, can be
helped If treated understanding^ and intelligently. Punishment is like
adding fuel to the fire—and the fire becomes ever more difficult to
extinguish. Punishment is a form of revenge which merely aggravates
the alcoholic and urges him on to more vicious drinking. Patience,
tolerance; humility.;sincerity, and a firm kindness are the.essential
qualities one must apply when dealing with the alcoholic. Unfortunate-
ly, these qualities are at a premium.
There are some who.' being unfamiliar with the alcoholic problem,
are iuciined to view the alcoholic as a "bum” or worthless drunkard;
one who has voluntarily exiled himself or herself to the merited raw-
ness of some skid row; o«ie who should lie, left alone to sink or swim
as Fate might decree. Of course, this attitude meriy contributes to
the. vast misunderstanding already existing. Satisfactory solution to
this or any other social problem demands healthy attitudes and un-
biased approaches. Every citixeo—drinker and non-drinker—plays a
vital role In the furtherance of humane. Intelligent programs de-
signed to promote and encourage recovery among our many al-
coholic* worthy of salvage efforts.
It has been said that “alcohol alone does not make the alcoholic”!
Herein lies the clue to consider the “ticking’' of the alcoholic’s per-
sonality equipment, Some underlying personality defects seemingly
contribute to the development of alcoholism, and! they may be present
before one has ever taken the first drink. We mention this because

Alcoholism Is a symptom of one's personality illness, just as fever
Is a symptom of Underlying physical illness. The irresistible urge to
drink gradually overwhelms the alcoholic victim and he can rarely,
If ever, correct or control the urge If left unaided. Medical science
agrees that the alcoholic is a sick person, no more worthy of moral
blame, ridicule or punishment than one suffering from other bodily
or mental ills. The. compul-ion to drink stems from some personality
or emotional defect, or disorder—miJd or serious—and It is this
defect or disorder whkh must he treated before wo can bogie for
recovery.
The alcoholic can recover, but he can never be cured. However, his
recovery is- solely .conditioned upon his complete abstinence from all
alcholic beverages. To guide the alcoholic into a life of usefulness and
contentment without further need or use of alcohol is the goal of all
treatment for alcoholism.

TAX EASING WILL BE SLIGHT
37. Tax relief will come mostly from expiration of present laws'
rather than from a-new enlightened tax program. Barring- further
international problems, the present corporate excess-profits tax will
be permitted to expire at the end of June,, 1953, ;
3*. If the heed fbr new taxes continues high, after expiration of
the excess-profit* tax, the new Congress may consider additional ex-
cise or manufacturers' yules taxes. They may also serve to discour-
age consumer spending, if the war danger becomes scute.

there during the year 1953, However I do not lock for total advances
