Fight Venereal Disease
Because it is not pleasant to con
template the prevalence of syphillis
and gonorrhea among the people of
the United States, the average Am
erican is inclined to dodge a discus
sion of efforts to stamp out these in
sidious venereal diseases.
It is estimated that 3,000,000 Am
ericans have syphillis and that gon
orrhea infects three to five times that
number. The U. S. Public Health
Service estimates that 225,000 people
contract syphillis every year and that
more than half go untreated out of
sheer ignorance.
Citing these facts. Science Illus
trated, a current magazine, says that
the cure specific for venereal disease
is penicillin which successfully treats
gonorrhea in four hours and syphillis
in a week. It warns, however, that
penicillin can't bring in patients.
This is the problem and public-spirited
citizens in many sections of the
nation are working diligently to
stamp out the diseases.
It is important that North Caro
lina, and its local governmental units
join in this fight
The Right Of
Opposition
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt told the
United Nations that Russia and the
United States have little hope of
living "together without friction ip
the same world" unless both can con
cede the right of opposition.
Mrs. Roosevelt challenged the ap
parent definition of democracy by the
Soviet leaders as "synonomous with
Soviet" and the use of the Fascist
label to apply to anyone not con
forming to the Soviet idea.
Many Americans have expressed
the same viewpoint but apparently
without, much impression upon the
delegates from the Soviet Union. In
this connection, the representatives of
fifty nations had an excellent oppor
tunity to observe our democratic pro
cess by their presence in this coun
try on the day of our national elec
tions. Of course, the Russians do not un
derstand a fair and free election, or
the readiness with which the Ameri
can people accept the verdict at the
polls. This is not inexplicable in
view of the history of Russia, where
most of the people have grown n;
under the regime which outlaws all
opposition. Even the older Russians,
who lived under the rule of the Czar,
have no experience whatever in the
line of democratic self-government.
It is probably too early to predict
that the Soviet dictatorship, with its
insistence upon "democracy" and its
belief thatf a small group of rulers
can legislate for the good of the peo
ple, will develop into a democratic
country. Certainly, if information is
permitted ' to percolate throughout
Russia and if education becomes more
general, there is a distinct hope that,
in the course of years, the Russian
people will insist upon popular self
government as it is practiced in this
country.
Some Other
Process Needed
It may not be quite clear to John
U Lewis, and some of his associates
who operate the United Mine Work
ers, but the people of the entire na
tion are tired of the recurring in
conveniences that arise whenever
there is a dispute about the wages
of mine operators.
Sooner or later the Congress will
devise some method of settling such
arguments without resort to a strike
that inflicts suffering upon people and
heavy losses upon business. This
does not mean, and should not mean,
no progress toward a better economic
life for miners. It simply establishes
the fundamental fact that the. general
welfare must come first.
The more intelligent labor leaders
of the organized workers of the
country are smart enough to know
that the people of this country are
not going to put up with a system
of strikes that resolves itself into a
contest of brute force without regard
to the justice of demands made and
rejected. Somewhere in the future
the rights of the millions must be
protected.
The government is busily attempt
