New Subsidy Proposed
The synthetic rubber Industry built
to supply war needs apparently needs
a fat subsidy from the government if
it is to continue operations. This is
the conclusion that follows the sug
gestion of a federal committee that
government subsidies and compulsory
use of synthetic are the best way to
preserve the industry for national de
fense. The possibility that the industry
may sustain itself without subsidies
is admitted but this is uncertain
There seems to be a strong drive for
support to private industry to oparate
the war plants which, it is suggested,
should be sold by the government as
eoon as high enough bids are re
ceived for them.
The rubber subsidy, we suppose,
could take several forms. A high
tariff on the import of natural rub
ber would be the indirect way. The
payment of so much a, pound for the
use of synthetic, plus some com pi is-
ory regulations requiring

HEALTH FOR ALL
INFANTILE PARALYSIS
During the late summer, parents
are apt to think, with' fear in their
hearts, of infantile paralysis or, as it
is often called, polio. Epidemics of
the disease are most apt to break out
from June to September. In this
country, the disease reaches its peak
in the latter month.
Infantile paralysis Is feared, not
only because of the deaths it causes
many other diseases take more lives
but because it so frequently leaves its
victims crippled for life and because
little is known about the virus which
causes the disease. Therefore, few
preventive ' measures can be taken
against it."''''
Infantile paralysis is caused by a
virus so small it cannot be seen

scope. As yet no means oi prevention

"TRa6e here and Bank the difference"
He points out that delinquency figures
reached their lowest point in 1943.
Citing New York figures, he says
that the all-time high for juvenile de
linquency was in 1930, when Chil
dren's Courts handled 8,000 cases. In
1941, this figure dropped to 4,438, but
rose to 6,640 in 1943 to 6,900 in both
1944 and 1945.
Here is the gist of the study by
Mr. Chute:
The interesting point is that at
their highest during the war, figures
were considerably under those for
1930, despite the large increase in
population over the same period. The
official points out that youth's be
havior has improved since the end of
the war but admits that crimes by
young adults are increasing. This he
attributes to the fact that many of
the young adults, just returning from
' Array service, found it difficult to re
adjust themselves to normal civilian
affairs. Despite these figures, Mr.
Chute concludes that "the flat state-
' ment that crime is increasing is not
good statistics." He suggests that
"even adult crime is getting back to
where it was before the war."
, The figures . given by Mr. Chute
ought to be revealing to many moral
ists who have assumed off-hand and
categorically that the young people
of the nation are going' to the dogs
faster than ever before. As he re
reals, the much-heralded increase in
juvenile, crime represents far fewer
cases than in earlier years and that
' even in the war period, the number
of eases was far below those reported
In 1930, despite an Increase in popu
Although its name would seem to
indicate that infantile paralysis
strikes only young children, this is by
no means true. It may attack older
age groups, even adults, and may
cripple them as well as young chil
