"a
at's Happening in
Germany To -Day
'(By Franck Chamberlain in Health)
9r01007, no matter how startling
anr0 appear her temporary .triumphs,
',Already sawn the seeds of her
eventual destruction!
Those who„ have studied the appall -
g indifference shown by het present
le/adore dau regard tb the Physa,
mental and mvoral ihuealth of the" na-
tion. It 'suggests that in the present
comni'cit with what is realized, as his -
tally's most terrifying example of ig-
norance and egotism in power, one
of the most 'effective weapons will
be forged by building up, in the free
demo na:0es, what Germany has de-
]5berately torn down 1n the enslaved
Reich;, the health, the happiness and
the efficiency of their people.
As part of its campaign to effect
this cenatattiaat-ion la the Domini.an,
the Health League of Canada' ,pre-
sents a resume •of conditons which
had been dellbeeately fostered by the
Nazi regime in Germany even before
the present war. They have, of
course, become worse since that time
and will become progreseively so as
the war -continues.
Before 1914, Germany was a lead-
er in matters of health and the com-
bating- of disease. Then came the
war, and the health, of German civ-
ilians suffered from the condition of
semi -starvation which their leaders.
'had brought upon them. After peace
was dteclared, Germany 'resumed her
place in the leadership of all branch-
es ,of science antd in movemrents for
the betterment of human health.
In 1933 Adolf Hitler and ,hiss Nazi
Party assented, power, since when it
Chas been their proudest boast that
they 'have restored a weakened and
unhappy people to health, strength,
vitality and. happiness. How much
truth lies in • that claim may be judg-
ed from tth'e facts wthich follow. Auth-
ority for them is the recently pub-
lished work; "Heil Hunger," by Dr.
Martin Gumpert, former head of .Ber-
Lin Dispensary for Deformity Diseas-
es,
Childhood Diseases
Rickets, a disease arising from
lack of nutrition, is decreasing in, all
civilized countries. la Germane: it is
increasing at an appalling rate. In
various German cities; the percentage
of chdidrea showing symptoms of
rickets is ao,ywlhere from 55 to 96
per cent.
Scarlet fever diad gone up froa i 79,-
830 cases in 1933 to 117,544 in 1937.
Diphtheria oases had in* reared
from 77,340 in 1933, to 146,733 in
1937.
Infantile paralysis and spi)ael men-
ingitis have kept pace with all other
chl'cj'hood diseases in their foe Tease
sinme Hitler came to power. Since
rickets' and other complaints leave
the little sufferer open to attacks• of
dangerous diseases in later life, it
is interesting to learn how the Nazis
treat tuberculosis.
The official dictgm• on the subject
says "It is necessary to harness the
labor pbw-er of the tubercular by ap-
propriate integration with the Labor
Front. The basic principles for the
totalitarian combating of tuberculosis
are, maintaining -the working capa-
city of the tubercular, •and th'e ruth-
less elimination of all anti -social
tuberculars."
' In other words: "No more sani-
taria. All tuberculars to be placed
in labor oam,ps and .worked to death,
Those who become, unable to work
to be 'eliminated' more violently and
directly."
And in spite of this way of stamp-
ing out the disease, Germany is
among the few countries in which
tuberculosis, is on. the increase. She
has more than 1,540,600 cases tad.ay.
-How German Workers'Eat
One reason for Germ'an.y's failure to
eradicate tuberculosis by the simple
method' of 'ruthless elimination' is
the deterioration of the German diet.
Before. 1914, the average ,German
consumed about 3,385 calories a day.:
Recent statis'ti'cs elbow that the aver-
age in 1937 was only'2,413 calories,a
day. A drop of 972 calories daily.
Since that time it has dropped still

Care of the Child

lyrical and 'hysterical concerning the
need' for mare sons for the Father-
land., That last is utterly callous. is ter

Doctor Gumpert:

ties which begin ' with rickets, A
Nazi doctor says: "More than 70 per
cent bf the youth of both sexes have
splayed, twisted or flat feet. The
frightful extent to which fq,ot deform-
ities interfere with the labor and
military capacity of our people is
known to every doctor." '
• In the universities, cases of heart
disease among the students have in-
creased alarininglly. Five years ago,
the number of those unfit for physi-
calwork was' 20 per cent., by "1937
jt'.had risen to 50 per cent.
School . age in Nazi Germany has
been lowered. By 1937 child labor

age of 10• years. Boys and girls en-

tary, threats, cajolery and promises

At the same time, promiscuity and

There is a •cynical adage in Meotico'
that control of the government can
be ohanged •.eniy by a revolution or a
miracle. In'all its :history as a quasi -
democracy, it has never held: a free
and ,demnocnatio election; no in4epend-
'ent candidate has ever won at the
,polls,
But Juan Andres Almazan believes
he is a miracle man; He resigned

state, Puebla, he won the open sup-
port of the federation of workers and

Such feats by a oonservattve candi-

Mexioanis 'have been, disillusioned by

Should he wan the presidency , in

to a P•an-Ame.ricao` prayer. He op-
pases the • communistie influences
which footer the anti -Yankee spirit
in Mexico ands are feared 'by Latin
'governments to the south. He be-
lieves that Mexico needs the sym-
pathy, and cb-operation of the United
States, and auk is shocked at the un-
friendliness Cardenas' has pnomoted

from big estates and cat up into •conn-

Almazan believes a land-owning peas-

the agrarians, "do you really own the
land today? Or have you just traded

Almazan is,ark aristocrat, the son' of
well-to-do landowners. "-The idealistic

people, a taciturn Indian. He rides
rnuleback into mountain hatchets,
squats and munches tortillas while

In 'the meantime, Tom didn't see

passed doors with' red. labels on
them:. "Out of Bounds," and he
leaned only that these indicated the
"office's." Behind these doors, how-
