TO SAVE. GOVERNMENT
MUST ABOLISH FUNCTIONS
If the idea back of reorganization of the federal
government's machinery is to save a lot of money
President Roosevelt's plan is a lemon. If the idea is to
enable Uncle 8am to do his job with less lost motion
the plan may be a pretty good one.
So before we start to praise or to criticise the
plan we ought to get straight in our own minds the
things we expect such reorganisation to accomplish.
And before we get through w* are apt to find
out that what is chiefly at stake is the old. old argu-
ment about the amount of work which the federal
government ought to do.
The money to be saved bv reorganizing govern-
ment bureaus and departments will be little more
than cheese-paring unless some of them and their
functions can be abolished in toto.
If you believe that the government ought to cut
down on its activities and let go of a lot of the levers
you have some real savings in sight: if you believe
that the government must play a steadily increasing
part in the life of the country you're going to be
able to save very little.
Now it is worth remembering that a good deal of
the criticism of the expenses of federal administra-
tion In the past has come from people who were really
interested in clearing the way for rugged Individualism
rather than in economy.
That worked out like this Suppose an industrial-
ist found such a body as the Federal Trade Commis-
aion cramping his style. Would he open up with an
attack on the commission? By no means. He would
simply start a campaign of protest against goxem-
ment extravagance against bureaucracy against
spending the taxpayer's money against overlapping
commissions and against government red tape.
That sort of thing reached it* climax about the
time of the 1929 stock market crash pr a little later. '
It was the popular thing then to rail against gov- ;
ernment spending and the unwieldy bureaucracy.
Back of it there wa.<- simplv this desire to lop off
some of the government’* functions—to abolish those
bureaus and commissions which were fighting to pro-
tect the public Interest from the rigors of unrestrain-
ed greed
There are of course. * great many people who
sincerely feel that the government could do all the
things it needs to do without spending quite so much
money on the Job But the thing they need to bear in
tnlna is that what makes government costly Is chiefly
the things government does and not the way It does
them
Military preparedness relief in all its guise the
cost of past wars—those are the things that reellv
cost money Until wr are ready to cut down on them
the savings we can make will be comparatively unim-
portant.
Agriculture Is no longer the forgotten indus-
try of the United States...the farmer's income
has returned to Its pre-war naritv.—Secretary of
Agriculture Henry A. Wallace.

TRANSFUSIONS. SNAKE VENOM HELP IN
CASES OF DANGEROUS BLEEDING
Whenever there is a shortage of platelets in
the blood bleeding will occur almost spontaneously
particularly from the mucous membranes In the
nose and mouth as well as elsewhere in the body.
There will also be bleeding underneath the skin
giving the appearance of bruising.
Certain forms of this condition are of definite
origin. They are known for example to be as-
sociated with poisoning by certain drugs—of tht
benzol type—or with poisoning that results from
the action of certain type* of germs such as those
of diphtheria tuberculosis and occasionally the
streptococcus.
Sometimes such cases follow poisoning by the
drugs used in the treatment of spyhllis. Occasion-
ally. also the number of platelets will be decreased
as a result of some action on the bone marrow. In
which ttje cells giving rise to the platelet* are
formed
Thus a lessened number of platelets may be
due either to a retarded formation of the cells
or a toxic action which destroys cells too rapidly.
• • •
One of the reasons why platelets are associated
with the control of bleeding is the fact that their
number tends to increase whenever a slight hemor-
rhage starts in the body of a normal person.
If there has been an extensive attack on the
blood-forming organs the decrease in the number
of platelets is associated with the lessening of the
number of red and white blood cells as well.
There are many instances in which reduction
in the number of platelets occurs only at intervals
so that between these intervals the bleeding does
not occur.
The condition occurs most commonly in per-
sons between twelve and twenty-five. It may occur
however at other ages as well. Sometimes the con-
dition comes on very gradually so that it Ls not
possible for the victim to say Just w hen it began
although he has a rather definite idea as to when
the first serious symptoms were noticed.
There are cases which are so severe that the
victim bleeds to death in a few days or weeks. In
other instances the condition goes on throughout
life without ever becoming serious enough to cause
death. There are still other cases In which the
disease continues for manv years and then seems
gradually to disappear.
Many different methods have been discovered
for treating such patients with a view to helping
if not curing them. One of the simplest methods
is the Injection of blood directly into the bodv;
sometimes into the veins sometimes into the
muscles or under the skin
Transfusion as will be pointed out later Is to-
day one of the most significant method* in the
treatment of diseases particularly those affecting
the blood.
Use of the venom of the moccasin snake also
has been found to be of value in some cases where
previous tests were made.
In severe cases removal of the spleen by surgi-
cal operation has been shown to be of value and the
operation has been used in hundreds of cases
apparently to advantage in most instance*.
Still other methods involve the taking of large
amounts of vitamin C and the feeding of a high
vitamin diet generally.
As has been pointed out. there seem to be many
different varieties of this condition and most of
the methods of treatment are considered to be
experimental for the individual case.
So They Say-
One has only to read the reports of the methods
used bv the Musaolinis and Hitlers to perceive
how’ social controls can be used to regiment a
whole nation and to lead millions; to submit blind-
ly.—Professor F S Bogardus. University of South-
ern California

what is liability to one is asset to

Correspondent
WASHINGTON. — The federal
budget lor the next fiscal year gives
the navy $587302600 ar.d the army
$393 460.400 for war purposes a total
of nearly a billion dollar*.
It gives the U. S. Publfc Health
Service $20753000. *
Of course If you want to get the
full portion of proposed expendi-
tures lor 1937-38 properly chargeable
to past wars and dinger of future
ones you mu‘t add to the army-navy
cill. as peace advocates are fond of
doing an item of $577 500000 for
veteran pensions and benefits and
mast of $860 000.000 for interest on.
and $401000000 for retirement of. a
public debt which U largely due to
war.
Total of these Items is about $3 -
830000.000
The public health appropriation
will be about one-fifth of the cost
of two new super-dreadna tights con-
struction of which will begin imme-
diately. I
Desirability of adequate national
defense is disputed by hardly any-
one. Yet no one seems to be quite
clear a* to whom we are going to
fight with that billion dollars and
the military-naval machine built MP
by other billions in past years.

Whom Will We Fight?
The White House and congress
have adopted a belligerent policy of
neutrality which at least theoret-
ically means something.
No one lies awake nights worrying
about an attack from Canada or
Mexico a war of aggression by this
nation seems out of the question. No
one ha* the temerity to suggest that
we will have any fight with England.
And naval experts agree that
geography being what it is no Japk
unese fieet can cross the Pacific anff
I constitute & menace to our shores.
The U. S Public Health Service.
. on the other hand knows exactly
i what it wants to fight and hasn t
the slightest tear that it will ever
run out of available dangerous en-
emies.
Disparity between the number of
casualties unnecessarily caused by
disease and the number killed in
battle within American borders
within the last 70 years is greater
than Die disparity between what
congress will vote for national health
and what it will vote for war.

State* Get Federal Help
Just the other day the U 8 Pub-
lic Health Service declared war on
venereal disease* which are estimat-
ed to afflict upward of 10.000.000
American citizens. The Conference
on Venereal Disease Control held In
Washington under Its auspices and
with the president's blessing recom-
mended that the $8 000.000 appropri-
ated for state health grants under
the Social Security Act (part of the
budget figure) be increased to $23.-
000.000
Health promotion and disease pre-
vention have been considered pri-
marily a state function but state
public health fmwndtfurfs took a
i nose dive during the depression and
eight millions of grant money this
year has stimulated states to expand
their activities enormously.
Tae health service helps states aet
up their health units when it passes
out the money. Under the Social
Security Act it also receives $1600.-
000 for disease and sanitation in-
vestigation.

Big Field in Industrie*
Industrial hygiene and public
health nursing along with expan-
sion of venereal disease clinics and
education are the chief fields In
which Assistant secretary of tha
Treasury Josephine Roche and Bur-
geon General Thomas Parran Jr-
tee! they could use those extra mlflp
lions at once. f"
Industrial hygiene cover* deaths
diseases and disabilities a rising
irom the joix people do. The life
expectancy of an industrial worker
is seven years shorter than that of
a non-indust rial worker.
Occupational health hazards are
known to exist in 1000 separate oc-
cupation* and 'there are at least
100 groups of poisons and industrial
hazards known to be detrimental to
health.
The silicosis menace so dramat-
ically brought to public attention
last year is only one such danger—
and it Is estimated that between
500.900 and 1000.000 workers are ex-
posed to the hazard of silica dust.
• • •
Pneumonia Great Menace
The pneumonia rote i> CMS per cent
higher in iron and steel center*
where workers step from extreme
heat to extreme cold in many cases
than in the country ms a whole.
There are various preventive* for
this hazard and moat others.
Only two state* had made pro-
visions to meet industrial health
hazards before the Social Security
ten millions became available. Now
21 have industrial hygiene units.
Miss Roche points out that there
i is a great mas* of scientific and
j technical information stored up
