Battle Being Won In Germany

By WILLIAM IIAMSHER

BERLIN, April 29 -- tReutsrsl- The battle 0f hcallll is beliitl W0" in Germany despite past winter suffering, bad housing and diffic- ult 100d conditions.

That is the view o.’ Allied doc- wrs with occupation authorities who have been studying latest health statistics. Dcspite the hard probients still to be solved, they are far more discouraged.

Ono hopeful factor is the exten- sion to the Soviet-occupied zone of nutritional surveys by American. British and French experts. whose studies hitherto had been confined to the lhtve western zones. After a tour of these regions, by invitation 0f the Soviet nilitary authorities. doctors will be able to draw up a clear picture of conditions all over Germany, including her ruined in- dustrial areas and hard-worked farmlands.

At the beginning of this year. after investigations in i3 cities of me three western zones, the doc- tors informed tho occupation auth- orities that "while part of the pop- ulation of the cities is in a fairly good nutritional state a signific- antly larger proportion is in an un- satisfactory condition and o! those pin increasing number show signs of severe undernutrition."

“Starvation of the population, as the term is generally understood does not exist,"

,'I‘hls stirnmnry backgrounds the views given by Brig. W. Strciiey Martin, adviser on pu llc health to the control ccmmisslo .

“We are dependicnt on the Ger- man health authorities for all our statistics," Martin said "Whilc there is no reason to think that the information they give is inac- curate, the-re is o. tendency to as- cribe a disease to malnutrition when it can be given a malnutrition connection o: twist."

He added, however, that the adult. basic ration of 1.550 calories is not adequate.

"This is how Brig. Martin sum- med up the situation in Germany in rcgurd lo certain diseases:

Tuberculosis: hicidorrce in British Znnc wzu; two ncr 1.000 in, 104B. In 1935 the Incidence for all. Germany was 11.94. l jyphilis: Showing “big increases". ‘iryphuis: Under control, denoting. ' the success of treatment of refugq ed; from eastern Germany ngnlnstt . lice infestation. l Jiinitcrlc fevers: No outbreak of‘ typhoid during the lost year, and. none affecting the big cities.

The commltte is faced this ses-

sion with a record number of pClIlltlllS. The rcnl nnstver. ha said, lay

not in t'lllll‘tll atlttrlts on divorce but ‘rn the liomcs whore parents should "tcll their boys and girls what this whole situatic-n 1s." Senator Thomas Vie“ tL-Quc- bcc), jol-iliili.‘ the di-scttssion on one of the many reports nf the

roniniittec in the full Senate, agreed that thc church and par- ents should do all pc-iisible to

eliminate thc basic causes of div- orce hut niaintitlherl that a lessc-n- ing of thc facilities for separnton would be u wiser move than broadening them.

Senator Haig. Progressive Con- servative leader. said the Senate committow-virtually all its eases from Qucbec, only Province with- out its own divorce ~ "as typical of all other divorce forums. “It's no use saying we slioulrln‘; grant them." The fundamental muses should be attacked.

Ssnelor Vicn screed that "this problem eats stt thc verj/ basis nl’ our society.“ The filial duty rest- [ctl with the fzim ‘fundamental

rcspons‘ ty of par- Pnts to bring their rhiidre llie proper atmosphere

But "we should be very care- ftil not to adopt any system, the cffect of tvhich would be to nud- liply divorce instead of stamping it out."

FintIIrue Bill . In Murder Base

DALJ-IOUSIE. NB. April 30 — (OP) - After a Grand Jury re- ported n true bill today in the case of Joseph Blals, charged with murdcrhig Richard ‘Phompson, the trial was sci. over to the August temt of‘ the Rcstlgouclie Circuit

Court at request of the senior de- fence cousiscl, AM. Roblchaud, K.C.. Bathurst.

Mr. Robicheud based his request on two points -— lack of time to prepare an adequate defence and, “uttwarranted publicity" given cer? lain aspects of the tasc by news-j papers.

He rcfcrred RPIIBWSPEPCI‘ Cup- llons of "voluntary statements" by the act-us-rd and said that as a re- sult. of the publicity "public opin- ion nit this time is very much against the accused.“ i

Mr. Robichautl took the position that “there are certain things in court v.hich should not be publish- cd prcvious to a final decision."

I-Ic referred to another" Canadian cast! where newspaper reports ‘Je- fore the trial were considcrrd tn have prejudiced tho public against the nccuscd and on this ground that trial was postponed.

"It is a point of itwtwiapers an- ticipatiitg the forces of justice," added l\'I.r. Robichaud. _

Crcvzn Prosecutor G.T. Fccney offered no objection to the motion and stated, "I dcift tblnk it is wilt- in my ttrcvince now to qurstion what constitutes freedom of the press."

The presiding judge. Chic-f Jus- tice J E. Michaud. in granting thc lsnoiioti, ccmtmcnted that news-

papers bad "published matters they l should not ltavc published. It is un- fortunate they did it. To vrhat de- gree il may have affected the minds "of prospective jurymcn is another matter."

Second Prince Member Refers To Byelection

Disappointment at the "gems of wisdom" dropped in the Legislat-

ure ny the Opposition was voic~

ed by -Forrest W. Philips. (Liberal). Second District of Prince. in speaking in the Bud- get debate last week. Most of the time of the leader of the Opposition, he complained. “IRS spent in "destructive criticism." The Opposition had “wasted many hours" in criticising the by-eloc- tlon in his. Mr. Phillips‘. district. The accusation was made that he was the "most costly member ever elected to this House." ‘the costs to elect him being in the way of distribution of‘ gravel. (lfflffZlllg lanes. moving buildings great distances. etc.

“All thesc statements," Phillips claimed. "were

Mr- days refuted i Bennett (lovernmeitt. Pork at. that

and proved to be false. The names of those who had buildlnzs mov- cd lancs dragged, and the dis- tricts which received more than their shares of gravel still re- main a mystery, and have not been divulged as prontised by the leader of the Opposition. I can assure the members of the 0p- posilion, as well as my colleagues on this side of the House, that the people of the second Prince cannot be bought nor can their votcs bc purchased, nor can you find iii Prince Edward Island. or In Canada, n more latv-nbldiilg, honest, honorable group of citi- Zens."

The real reason he was elect- ed, Mr, Phillips said. was be- cause the people of Second Prince "knew that. under a Liberal ad- ministration they would receive justice and fnir play and have a continuance of prosperity and good limos such as we enjoy while thc Liberals hold the reins of office,“
