China Takes Initial Steps
Toward Industrial Planning
HONG KONG—First steps in
the planned industrialization of
Communist China are being taken
at a conference now being held in
Peiping, according to an official
report.
The conference, called by the
Ministry of Heavy Industry, is
studying China’s labor and natural
resources and manufacturing po
tential upon which it will base the
blueprint for heavy industrial pro=-
duction for 1951,
The conference is paying special
attention to iron and steel, ma
chine building, and chemical in
dustries which, according to the
report, need to be speedily de
veloped to improve communica
tions and raise the level of agri-
The Human Machine
By DR. A. HARRY TIMM, JR.
You own the mnrost wonderful
mechanism that has ever been
perfected—your body! If you give
this body as careful attention as

it would last Gl
many years
without a break- ;
down. Your
physical mileage X
would be length~ % &
ened and your ¥

‘along life’s highway would be
many times multiplied,
When you notice the first signs
of “engine trouble,” when you
find that you cannot “make the
grade” as easily as you used to,
have a thorough physical check=
up. Prevention is always better
than cure, and if the cause of your
ills is discovered early, much pain
and suffering may be avoided.
Spine failure occurs in some de~
%ree in the majority of people,
he symptoms are seldom ones
that lead you to suspect there's
anything wrong with your spine.
You may simply have headaches,
muscular soreness, or a generally
“run down” feeling, The effects
may show up far from the cause,
It is always better to be safe than
sorry, and thousands of people
who never really feel 100% could
save themselves still more serious
trouble by taking the proper steps
to correct spine failure before it
becomes acutely dangerous. “It
takes backbone to be healthy.”

cultural production.
More steel and a greater variety
of steel products will be produced
during 1951 than ever before, it is
claimed, while the chemical indus
try will concentrate on the pro
duction of badly needed fertilizer.
Cornerstone for Plan
It was emphasized at the open
ing sessions of the conference that
Communist China must proceed
carefully in the development of
their heavy industry to avoid up
setting an economy which must
remain primarily agricultural for
a long time to come.
Although the state-owned in
dustry will provide the corner
stone for the 1951 plan, it was
stated that private enterprise
would participate “through plac
ing of orders, giving out of semi
finished products for processing,
granting of credit, and through
other measures.” The report con
tinued:
“The conference was strongly of
the view that it would be wrong
to exaggerate the role of planning
at the present stage of China’s
economy, owing to the fact that
small commodity production and
capitalist economy still are indis
pensable components within the
economy.”
Nonetheless it was clear from
the conference discussion that the
state can be expected to move in
creasingly into the field of heavy
industry as proprietor.
Soviet Used as Pattern
. In this respect Ho Chang-kung,
acting Minister of Heavy Indus=
try, urged the conference to pat=
tern its planning as far as possible
on methods used in the Soviet
Union,
The conference, too, provided
further evidence — if any were
needed—that there is little future
for foreign capital in Communist
China. .
¢, .. Planning principles are be
ing used for the first time to lift
the country forward to a new stage
in its struggle to transform its
economy from its former back
ward colonial state to one of com
plete independence,” the report
stated, neglecting as usual to ex~
plain how complete independence
is possible when China is econom=
ically as well as politically daily
becoming more dependent upon
the Soviet Union.

THE STUDENTS at the University of Georgia workshop last week got a first hand look
at the State health department’s 43-foot mobile x-ray unit, ©fficials from the Georgia
health department brought the unit on the campus during their one-day visit to illustrate
more clearly what is being done throughout the State in TB control. *
Stafe TB Experfs Make Visit
ToWorkshop At Universify Here
“Nearly 2,000 cases of tubercu=
losis develop in Georgia each year,
and over 1,000 persgns die of the
disease annually,” said Dr. H. C.
Schenck in an address before the
workshop group at the University
of Georgia last week. Dr. Schenck
is the director of the tuberculosis
control division of the State Health
Department.
The State official emphasized
that new cases of TB are dropping
off each year as a result of the
mass x-ray drive which has been
going on throughout Georgia for
the past 5§ years.

Public And Private Systems
Work Side By Side In Canada
OTTAWA, — Canada’s entrance
into the field of public ownership
of railroads on a grand scale came
about as a result of force of cir=-
cumstances rather than: deliberate
design. :
The same thing is true, although
to a lesser extent, of the publicly
owned Trans-Canada Airlines and
the Canadian Broadcasting Cor
poration.
These facts, says Donald” Gor
don, the new president of the
ways system, should be remem
bered when the Canadian experi
ence is cited in connection with
public ownership propositions in
the transportation field elsewhere.
~ The public ownership of these
three important enterprises is not
so much a sign of a socialistic
trend in the national thought of
Canada as it is an example of a
down = to - earth realism which
tends to accommodate itself to
circumstances as they are.
“The final arbiter,” says Mr,
Gordon, “has been, ‘Does it make
-sengse? Will it work?””
Merger of Two Lines
Too sweeping generalizations
can be misleading, however, as
there are mrany local and regional
problems in Canada which are a
direct refutation of this rule.
The Canadian National Rail«
ways are the result of the amalga
mation of two government-owned
railroads with three privately
owned roads which went bank
rupt during World War I. Since
they were essential to Canada’s
war effort, the government of that
day had no choice but to take
them over, L
It was recognized, however,
that this was a dangerous experi=
ment, There ‘was widespread con=
cern at the thought of the govern
ment’s taking over railroads and
because of that concern, one car-

workers and football coaches of
the workshop might wunderstand
more fully what is being done in
the State to combat TB, Dr.
Schenck brought the famous x-ray
mobile unit on the Georgia cam=
pus and x-rayed everyone in the
group. The mobile unit, he ex
plained, is primarily designed to
go into rural sections, and gene
rates its own electricity so that it
may operate even in the remotest
districts.
dLater during the day a round
table was held during which time
tuberculosis was discussed in de
tail. Taking part in the discussion
dinal principal has been para
mount from the very inception of
the Canadian National — there
must never be any political ifter
fgrence with the management.
It is significant, too, that in a
brief recently submitted to the
Royal Commission sitting in Otta
wa to investigate the freight rates
structure, Mr. Gordon stated, on
behalf of the Canadian National
management, he regarded it as
highly important that the rival,
privately owned Canadian Pacific
Railroad system should remain in
business under conditions which
would enable it to render efficient
competitive railroad service in
Canada.
Hotel Jointly Owned
In the two great railroad sys
tems, Canada has proved that
public ownership and private en
terprise not only can operate:side
by side, but can also cooperate.
Thus, the railroads share certain
enterprises. The huge Vancouver
Hotel in Vancouver, B, C, is a
joint enterprise.
In eastern Canada there are
passenger pool areas where tickets
sold by either line are honored on
pool trains, The Northern Alberta
Railroad is a joint operation.
Here again, says Mr, Gordon, is
an example of the ability of Ca
nadians to accommodate them
selves to circumstances.
The same thing is true of radio.
Privately owned stations operate
alongside the government-owned
Canadian Broadcasting Corpora
tion.
And while the nrain transconti
nental air company, the Trans-
Canada Airlines, is government
owned and operated, the privately
owned Canadian Pacific controls
the lines operating across the Pa
cific, as well as many feeder lines.
Here, too, there are many smali
Iprivately owned companies feed
'ing into the larger air systems.
i Logical Pattern
Although completely dissimilar
in origin, the publicly owned Ca
nadian National Railways system
has developed along lines similar
to those followed by the privately
owned Canadian Pacific. Both
have followed what has been, ap
parently, a logical pattern to meet
the peculiar needs of Canada.
Like its rival, the Canadian Na
tional has become a great empire
of hotels, resorts, airlines, a rail
way express company, steamships,

The primary topic of the panel

and a telegraph system.
Canadians know from experi
ence that political action does not
necessarily follow in the wake of
economic changes, In fact, the re
verse has séemed to be true in a
number of cases. For instance,
Toronto, a conservative city, has a
publicly owned transportation sys
tem, whereas Vancouver, which
has elected a number of socialist
(CCF) members to the House of
Commons at Ottawa, has a pri
vately owned transportation and
utilities system.
Rails Make Canada
The importance of railroads to
a country as huge as Canada can
not be overestimated. The ‘“fath
ers of confederation”—the states
men who planned and executed
the union of the scattered colonies
into what is now Canada — were
acutely aware of this truism in
the middle of the last century.
Inevitably, from the beginning,
railroads have been part of the
political conscience of the public
as well as the government. .
In a certain sense, railroads
have made Canada. It has a
greater railroad mileage, per cap=
ita, than any other countrf' in the
world; and the general level of
freight rates, as expressed in av
erage revenues per ton mile, is
the lowest in the world, so far as
is known, — (Christian Science
Monitor.)

Rent Violafions
While the Athens rent office will
continue its long-standing policy
of seeking voluntary compliance
with the federal rent law by land
lards, it will not hesitate to in
voke the law In cases of willful
and repeated evasions of rental re
quirements, it was stated tdday
by Harold J. Robertson, Area Rent
Director.
This is in line, he added, with a
recent announcement of Housing
Expediter Tighe E. Woods, in
‘Washington, regarding his plan
for administration of the 1950
rent act, enacted by Congress to
be effective for a year through
next June 30.
“Only as a last resort are cases
of rent law violation taken to
court,” the rent official explained.
“For the most part we find
landlords willing to get into com=
pliance with the law after friendly
explanations by our office of their
rights and obligations. Wilful and
flagrant violators are certainly in
the minority, but in fairness to
tenants and to the great majority
of landlords, who are law-abiding,
a tightening of enforcement is
planned.”
Mr. Robertson added that the
Athens rent advisory board is an
important factor in the local rent
control administration picture.
Either a landlord or a tenant,
who is not satisfied with a decision
of the rent office, may, he said,
have his case reviewed by the
board, which is composed of pub
lic-spirited citizens volunteering
their services to afford the maxi
mum in home rule to the local rent
control program.

TEL AVIV Israel—(AP)—His

ting up a big purchasing and
marketing organization for indus
tries in all villages and cities of
Israel. It is called “Hamshavek.”
Its objectives are two-fold: to ob
tain raw materials for Histadrut
industries in immigrants’ settle
ments and towns and cities,, and
to handle the whole marketing of
produects of these industries.
Israel’s federation of labor is
unique in that it not only repre
sents workers who are members
of trade unions, but in many in
stances is itself their employer.
