possible at the resent time be- cause of the lac of medical and nurs and the lack of building and hospital equipment.

The minister said the Province tras planning concentration of initial services on the "under- served" rural areas.

The preventive services part of the pro ram will be founded on the sctt ng up of health units throughout Manitoba . under local boards largely of lay persons. with the cost to be carried two-thirds by the Province and one-third by ihe municipal authorities.

Mr. Schultz said the not new cost to the province of these units is $26,000 capital and 3265.300 an- nual. The municipalitlesLannuai contribution was set at $65,000 and that of the population in unorgan- ized territory at $6,000 annually. ‘Those sums were in addition to a total of $167300 now spent annu- ally by the Province.

To assure early and correct diagnosis. tiie Manitoba health pro- grnni includes the locating cf three

don and Dauphin with full medical radiologist and bacteriologist-path- ologist services in each. All rural hospitals will have X-ray and laboratory equipment provided and will be supervised from the key centres.

These services are to be pra- vidcd at public cost as a utility on reference of a regular prac- titioner. The Province will meet the entire capital cost, $300,000, and roughly five-thirds of operating costs up to 50 _cents a head for the diagnostic clinics everywhere except in Winnipeg. The two-thirds of the operating cosls to be borne by Manitoba annually were set at $242,600 bv the Health Minister.

tion Last-Night

A ‘(War Situa .

By KIRK]; L. EDISON (Associated Press War Analyst)

The Mari; and all but unbelievable fact about the invades! of Luzon is that landings in the Bight of Lingoyen Gulf within less than 100 miles of Manila Bay were made virtually unopposed ashore and afloat as well as ineffectlvely combztted in the nir.

Many hours after the first troop waves hit the Luzon beaches rmil had probed inland. there was no report of contact with enemy ground forces in any substantial number. At sea, only isolated iniieide saliiea by single destroyers and a midget submarine fell against the BOO-ship armada on route except for the future air attacks.

Just what that might» mean as an indication of Japanese defens- ive stratezy none yet can say. Minimum estimates credit the enemy commander on Luzon with 150,000 troops. The Japanese fleet still ls a. powerful striking force in all but plane carrier categories.

It is possible that the very boldness of the amphibious operation was its greatest assurance of success. It may have seemed so impossible to Japanese leaders that the assault there came as the complete sur- prise its feeble reception indicates.

Ii. does not sufficiently explain. however. the failure of the Jap- anese commander on Luzon to rush substantial mobile forces to meet the American forces on Llngaven beaches once he was certain that they were the ‘ “ " of the , ‘ ‘ ’ and “ “ ’ by air at sea.

1r the Japanese fleet or what is left of it is u. figure n. all in the

Luzon campaign, the time for it to strike would have been while the American troop convoys were at sea. American naval forces in that cnse must have been hampered and denied full high-speed abflfly for battle manoeuvres by the prime necessity of protecting the troop and supply shins. That opportunity was lost, either because the buttered enemy fleet had been recalled virtually to home waters to reduce losses. or to guard more closely the sea corridors from Japan, to northern China. If the fleet moves now against the A -' beacheads on Luzon. it would risk annihilation.

There is one other remote possibility. It might be that Tokyo has in effect written off the Philippines as lost and abandoned its garri- sons to their fate. conserving sea and air, power for home defence.
