New Complaints

"let-p fll~"1[\1'll, and "destroyer stomach," uere dcscr l to the Southern Medical Associa- tion, Ciiicinatti. as two of thc newer medical

complaints of incn in the armed forces. The jeep ailnicnt is a rondiiiciii suffered by tttauy [icuple in Cl\'lll.'l1l lifc and which docs not neces- sarily cause disability but, llrig.-(.icii. Fred Ran- Lin of the arniv surgcoii-geiicrztls' office said, thc rigors of mcchanizerl warfarc——"riding on jeeps, trucks aiiJ iuiiks'l~t'cstiltcd in niaiiy cases of distibiliiy among such sufferers enter- ing the armed sci-vices. The ailment stems from e cyst formation near the base of the spine. In some cases. thc abuormalit_v' is no more than a pimple. The rough riding that mechanized war- riors have to do oftcn causes the tissue to be- come further inflamed. Operation is often in- dicated to remove the diseased tissue, said Dr. Louis A. Buie of the Mayo clinic, but he said military surgeons faced a problem in selecting cases requiring surgery, inasmuch as healing of some operations required as much as 100 davs, thus tying up beds needed by battle casualties. The “destroyer stoin: l" complaint was describ- ed by LL-Cmdr. \\l. T. Gibb Of the national naval medical centre of Bethesda, Md., who said it was a condition “appearing mostly in lios- pitals that receive men directly off the ships". Apparently." he said. "it is a form of sub- ilClile (mild) gastritis due to protracted seasick- ness. irregular meals and constant nervous ten- =:ou, and occurs mostly in the rough ivaters of -e north Atlantic".

Trial of War Criminals

It is t-itsy to iiiiilcrstaiitl. says the London Luzu loiirnal, the sscpiicisiii which greets the sugges- tioii that legal trial shouldbe given to the scoundrcls who will throng the prison camps of post-ivar liuropc. .\n answer which avoids rt.- sponsibility is" that it is useless to plan before victory", but this ilisrcgards the policy of the Lniicd Nations. Un August 2i, i942, President ltotiscvclt ilcciareil that “It is thc purpose of tho l nitcd Stains, as of cach of the United Nations, lo make appropriate usc of the information znid tvidc cc in rcspcct of ihcsc barbaric crimes of the invaders 0f liuropc and Asia. It seems only fair that they should have this wartiing that the time will com: when they will have to stand in Courts of Law in the vcry countries which thcy arc now opprcssing. and answer for their alas." Un September 8, i942, Mr. Cliiir- chill stileninly identified Great Britain with thrsc words, and a Commission for the lu- vcstigation of \\'ar Crimes has been created. which takes spccizil note of organized atrocities. The .\llicd (iuvcriiniciils hztvc also dcclarcd that stirrcnilci" of iianicil criniiinils will bc a. condi- tion prcccrlitit of any arniisticc, and it cannot be bclicvctl that refuge would bc afforded by iicutrals. lt is illllL‘(‘(l obvious that, as slated by Lord lliiiightun in a Loids ilcbalc, the guilty may cscttpc if thcsc questions arc postponed until victory is upon us.

‘Those unfamiliar Willi legal processes hold divergen: views as to what should be done: some sce no ohjcciitwn to a rcign of terror in ivhich lynch law might identify the guilty; oth- ers fccl that any inquiry might be nullified by insurrection and massacre; many have an iin- pression that there is no International Law un- der which trials could be held. This is the law- yers' opportunityz 'l'hl:y ought to use their ev- pert knowledge and specialized training to in- culcatc in ihc public mind the necessity for judicial procedure, zuid thosc who explore the technical problems of ivnr trials should not have lo confront professional colleagues who not only disbclicvc in international Law. but ate indifferent to its creation. Abhorrciice of lynch law does not involve any tenderness to the en- emy; far from fcziring legal methods, we shoulrl aim to found an International Criminal Law of commanding character, an achievement of per- petual honour to a profession which has not received stifficient credit for its service to 3-.»- eiety. In any cvcnt, however, Europe must be. spared from a repetition of the farce which followed the war of It)! l-lillll.

appearance of justice. NOllllllg must be a! lowed to happen ivhich might appear to the

jeffreys, oij a sham like the trials at Rioin. It is suggested that it is of great importance to create a powerful International Criminal Court acting under clearly defined principles, and the first step might well be the revival of the civil Permanent Court of International Justice, an institution of considerable value, which could be given power to act as a criminal Court. lf it is thought that an lntertiational Court would be so overburdened that it would never get through its list, the remedy is to create numer- ous branches in the manner of an European Assize, but bearing in mind the fact that iiat- ioiial Courts are also competent to try war crimes. If the International Cotirt were found- ed at once, it could be so well established by the time of the armistice that it could begin its work on the basis of a recognized procedure, but it iniight be important to reach an uudcr- standing as to whether the British or Russian system of trial is to be used. Working ably and. fairly. the mere existence of the Court won't! be of value as an instrument of international tiolicy and cooperation."

Washington these days is pictured as a yilace whcrc pressure. groups are ltammcriug hard at the wagc and price controls, caring little if thc meeting of their (leinands brings inflation and a break in the nation's economic system. Over there much of the trouble springs from the ap- proach of a presidential election campaign. While in this country the trouble can't be traced dircctly to Federal election prospects it is prob- able that soine of the failure of the government to impose really effective checks on devastating strikes lies in its refusal to offend a class whose votes might come in handy at balloting time.

According to "lime", outstanding iu the scientific (levclopinent of agriculture as discov crcd by a delegation recently visiting Russia are the crops of green, rcd and black cottons. The Russians have found a method of planting ivin- tcr wheat (in unployvcd stubble) that ciiablcs it to withstand Siberian temperatures of 4o below zero. By crossing Merino eWCs with wild mountain rams, they have bred a hybrid moun- tain sheep that bears fine fleece wool.
