' yy., Q land about five years ago. 'Under this lan there is previsiensfob 1 free medical attention, including care 'f teeth, for prescription . def medicine, doctor's calls and hospital operations. Each doctor has approximately 2,000 patients to care for. If a person needed dye glasses, he goes to a government oculist for a prescription and the.f1tting for glasses is paid foriby the government. Money for this kind of attention comes from income taxes paid by the workers., Harold E. Stassen, who has recently studied the British plan, claims that the taxes in England are more than double those in the United States. This is because of the Soclalized Medicine, old age pensions and the other welfare agencies that the govern- ment is providing at great costs. We in America have been watching this plan progress. Both Republicans and Democrats in our country have been looking for some kind of improved health program. 'The value of Socialized Medicine has been questioned very much in this v country, because the plan in England isfprobably not working as, Q dwell as it should. For instance, the doctors have to fill out many forms and reports, attend committee'meet1ngs and give service to those who do not need attention.l People jam the doctors' of- fices for minor ailments and imagined'il1nesses. Many people think the taxes are too high for the amount of care which they get. Of course, there are some people who are truly sick and need s .his medical care which they pay for 1nQthe1r taxes. M T Viewing briefly the working of Socialism in England raises, .the question of Socialism in the United?States. Years ago, a party was organized and had a candidate for the presidency. Then grad- A ually the Socialistlc ideas drifted into policies of Democratic and Republican parties. The present leaders of the Republican party accuse the Democrats of leading the United States toward. Socialism. But some Republicans, such as Senator Taft, have been urging Public Housing and Socialized Medicine.

The struggle is really on in earnest between those who want more Socialism, in the form of government control of business and agriculture' and those who favor more individual enterprise. We have had more and more government control and some groups, such as the potato growers, are really happier under government control than they would be under the old system of a wide open gamble on prices. is For years in Canada, they have had a railroad owned by the pgovernment. All along this railroad there are hotels to accomv ,hodats people who are traveling. This is nothing but Socialism. These facts suggest that Socialism can work very well within a democracy, and seems to be a practical means of solving SOm6 of - yhe problems of democracy. The apparent failure of a labor party, in the elections of England, Australia and New Zealand, because of ' yhat might be called UMe-to-ismn. when all the political parties 5 poast of welfare agencies, the labor party loses votes. But this fact proves that Socialism is popular and can be used by any form pf government. It is therefore not a cause in itself but a means Qt I believe Socialistic ideas are here to stay and developing lfgradually and slowly along with a free democratic way of life.. - Some writers warn us that Socialism will eventually lead us into .X ,M 2 a vpommunism. lMore leaders and thinkers have expressed the idea A :Q ihatdSoc1allsmf1s more likely to prevenh Communism than to encourageff 7. g .3 I lg n 1 2 VH p .iv Q 4
