TdL SENATOR’S SCHEME WON’T WORK
The proposal of Senator Russell of
Georgia io maKe it possible by govern¬
ment aid to tras. plant a large proportion
oi Negroes who heavily populate certain
areas oi the bourn to pans oi trie coun¬
try where tney are tew tn number is ri-
dicuolusly untninr.a lie; it simply won’t
! work.
Mr. Russell say lie is going to offer
legislation in the n< Congress, which,
if passed, will bring about a more even
distribution of Nigra. , throughout the
country and then by reduce the racial
tensions in the South.
Of course, no one but the Senator
and a few dyed in the wool segregation¬
ists have tin * ulca that this mea¬
sure will gel iur m the ( ongress. it will
die aborning.
In the first place, Negroes are not
craving to leave the souintund; they are
simply asking lind Hie conditions under
which they live be bettered and that they
be given a decent, iair chain'** to survive
where they are.
In the second place, we doubt seri¬
ously that those who control all airs
wnere large niassis oi Negroes live would
sit idly by and " the economic status
of their sec lions dt-rapted in such a way
as would iiK-vi . oi follow mass exodus.
It is inlet mg to note that, per-
“haps as a second thought, the Senator
'Ts.nys that Such * ov eminent aid as he pro-
--rfgses wouid ai. 0 be applicable to whites
dfno wish' to migrate from one feature section of
the country ^to another. 1 his ol
the measure, we i time, was tacked on
in order to get support lor it.
Where would this mass influx of
workers bg "welcomed ? Certainly not in
areas of the North, Kasl or Middle West
which are already over burdened with
population woiTie brought on by a con-
„,(»tant poptUalion Senator’s hu.ume. scheme of redis¬

tion is in giving lair and equal treatment
to all of ns citizens.

posal is viewed in other sections of the
country is express, i in the t allowing edi¬

lation more evenly throughout the
United States. He introduced such a
bid nine years ago. But it was buried
in committee by a Congress not yet
alerted to the gathering struggle
over racial questions.
The idea itself and the nature of
the p ] an are typical of Senator Rus¬
sell. He is a true southern conserva¬
tive on racial matters—neither vin¬
dictive or open to the implications of
the global scene: that America must
change to some degree its pattern of
racial relationships.
And his plan appears as realistic
and devoid of arbitrariness as such
a scheme could likely be. It. does not
ignore the fact that the viable Unit¬
ed States is already pretty well popu¬
lated, as do proposals that have
come to our attention for setting up
a Negro state within the nation
(the proposers seem to favor Alaba¬
ma or Mississippi).
Nor does the senator resurrect the
American Colonization Society, which
flourished between 1820 and the
Civil War and which managed to re¬
turn to Africa (Liberia) fewer Ne¬
groes in any year, it is said, than
were born in a day. He recognizes,
manifestly, that American Negroes
can claim an ancient and American
heritage as can most of their white
fellow citizens. Nor does he contem¬
plate mass population exchanges
within the Union.
Senator Russell would set up a na¬
tional relocation commission, which
would encourage and with federal
funds aid Negroes to move out of
areas of high Negro concentration
(the South) and white persons, who
wished to, to replace them. No one
might be thus relocated unless the
move promised to improve his social
and economic opportunities.
To some the plan might have
much to commend it as logical—pro¬
vided it took account of attitudes in
the communities to be moved into as
well as in those to be moved out. of.
Practically it would encounter many
of the inhibitions which prevent
labor mobility from working auto¬
matically per theory. The strongest,
perhaps, is epitomized in John How¬
ard Payne’s famous line: “Be it ever
so humble, there’s no place like
home.”

HEALTH and DISEASE
By James L. Sykes, M. D.
DIABETES MELLITI S
Last week we briefly scanned
diabetes, today we will turn
our consideration to some of
the factors related to treat¬
ment.
There is probably no disease
in which patient cooperation is
more necessary. The following
of instructions can at times be
a matter of iife or death.
Treatment is aimed to (1)
correct the inability of the
body to properly use carbohy-

Sugar substitutes allow one to
i sweeten tilings to taste with-
out violating thc diet.
In ulin is taken by injection.
It is not effective if taken
orally. The dosage is deter¬
mined by the physician. Usually
the regulation is begun on reg¬
ular insulin which has a short
period of maximum action and
is given before the three main
meals. The other types cf in¬
sulin are protamine zinc which
is known commonly as PZI, with
a prolonged 1 period of maxi¬
mum action (30 hours' and Mo¬
dified insulin,, such as globin
insulin with znd and combina¬
tions of protamine zinc and
crystalline, with an intermedi¬
ate period of action (18 to 20
hrurs). Every patient is very
carefully instructed by his phy¬
sician of the dangers of insulin
and the signs to watch for and
the means of averting the dan¬
ger. These dangers are known
as insulin reactions and can
results in death. The other com¬
plications of insulin treatment
are net as dangerous. There
may be trouble at the site of
injection due to localized in¬
fection. This can as a rule be
avoided by the proper sterili¬
zation of the equipment and
cleansing the site of the injec¬
tion,.
Tablets are available which
make it quite easy for the pa¬
tient to test the urine for the
! presence or absence of sugar
| and thereby give an index of
! the fluctuations in blood sugar
i level.
The diabetic must always
; keep in mind that he has a
tendency to have infections.
Careful and frequent cleansing
of the skin is necessary. Im¬
mediate attention to all breaks
in skin with washing the break
well with soap and applying al¬
cohol will often avert compli¬
cations.
The feet and legs vith the
changes in the vessels which
occur in the disease require
ipccial attention. The changes
in the vessels of the diabetic
are the same as in all of us
but they come about more
rapidly. Care and attention to
the feet may prevent long pe¬
riods of disability. Any diffi¬
culty with the feet no matter
how slight merits the attention
of a physician immediately.
