C. whose message was heard by mil lions of the American pepole, flat ly accused "little men with a lust for power'' ixi the executive branch of the Government of seeking to make America "a Socialist State In the pathetic pattern of the so cially and economically-bankrupt Nations of Europe." The Administration in Wash ington, asserted Dr. Henderson, is "sick with intellectual dishonesty, with avarice, with moral laxity and with reckless excesses." That condition must be chang ed, he declared, "if we are to survive as a strong, free peo ple" — and he called upon all of the American people to share the responsibility and to uphold the Nation's ideals of freedom. To the 144,500 members of A.M.A., who had received special invitations-to hear their new presi dent's address, he said: Medicinft. -^— The Target* Of Cynical, Men "Tonight I caM upon every doc tor in the United States, no mat ter how*heavy the burdens of his practice may be, to dedicate him self, not only to the protection of the people's physical health, but also to. the protection of our American way Of life, which i? the foundation of our economic health and our political freedom.'' Continued the new A.M.A. presi dent: "American medicine has become the blazing focal point in a fun damental struggle which may de termine whether America remains free, or whether we are to become a Socialist State, under the yoke Of a Government bureaucracy do minated by selfish, cynical men who believe the American people are no longer competent to care for themselves. Under Socialism, Liberty Dies! "These men of little faith in the American people propose to place all our people, doctors and patients alike, under a shabby, Government dictated medical sysT tem which they call Compulsory Health Insurance. But it is not just socialized medicine which they seek. Their real objective is td gain control over all fields of human endeavor — and to strip the American people of self determination and self-Govern ment. "There is only one essential dif ference between Socialism and Communism. Under State Social ism human liberty and human dignity die a little more slowly, but the£ die just as surely!" Then Dr. Henderson, declaring that "American medicine has led the world in medical advances, and has helped to make this the healthiest, strongest Nation on the face of the globe," blasted the critics of medicine with this sig nificant statement: - "It is not American medicine which has failed to. measure up to its obligations. "It is not American business nor American agriculture which has failed — nor the fine, loyal working people of America who have failed. "It is the administrative arm of our Government in Washington which has failed us in this gen eration!" Press Praised For Leadership Stressing hte fact that many already recognize the dangerous trend toward concentration of power in Washington, Dr. Hen derson declared: "If it were not for the leadership Of the American press in defend ing our fundamental liberties, American medicine, even now, might be socialized — and under the heel of political dictation. "The newspapers of America, with few exceptions, have taken a strong stand, not only against socialized medicine, but against all forms of State Socialism in this country — and the doctors of America are proud to take their stand beside the fighting editors of America in the battle to save our freedom and the system of indi vidual initiative which maintains it."
