The Canada-United States Permanent Joint Board on Defence, 1940–1945

This article is designed to give a simple factual statement about the establishment, operation and early responsibilities of the CanadaUnited States Permanent Joint Board on Defence. The material has been put together in a form which, it is hoped, will be convenient for students of government or military affairs and others who are interested in this significant development in the history of international co-operation. The chronological treatment, moreover, provides an effective illustration of the relative importance assigned at different times during the Second World War to the various aspects of the problem of continental defence. It is appropriate that Canada and the United States, which in the case of the International Joint Commission demonstrated an ability to pioneer in the peaceful solution of peacetime problems, should have been responsible for the development in 1940 of a new technique of unified defence. The Permanent Joint Board on Defence was the prototype of many organizations established during the war by the Allied Powers to increase the efficiency of their crusade against the megalomaniacs of Germany, Japan and Italy. As such, and because of the intention of the two countries to continue it as a permanent instrument of cooperation, its early history deserves careful and critical scrutiny. This article, based on a re-examination of the official papers and private notes as well as on personal recollection, has been prepared to facilitate such a scrutiny. It does not itself attempt that task.

PRESENT STATUS OF TREATMENT OF PERNICIOUS ANEMIA

The report in 1926 by Minot and Murphy 1 of the effectiveness of liver therapy in pernicious anemia soon was followed by the development of active concentrates of liver suitable for clinical use. By 1936 relatively purified extracts of liver were available for intramuscular injection, in addition to those preparations which earlier had been developed for oral administration. Owing to differences in animal sources and in manufacturing methods, the therapeutic effectiveness of these substances was not directly related to the amount of liver from which they were derived and could be estimated only by clinical tests of the final product. Standardized Liver Concentrates Standardization of preparations intended for the treatment of pernicious anemia was first prescribed by the Eleventh Decennial Revision of the Pharmacopoeia of the United States on June 1, 1936, as the responsibility of the Anti-Anemia Preparations Advisory Board. 2 In 1938, the Board defined as a U.

Regional Planning in Norway

Frenchby Elsie Edge.The scarcity of natural resources, especially the small amount of land available for agricultural exploitation, and the disastrous consequences of the Second World War, have made economic planning an urgent need for Norway. The first regional plan applied to the Northern regions, where the adequate use of the electric power available and the rational exploitation of ore-mines could be used to set up a flourishing local industry.A Central Commission for regional planning was established in Oslo in 1949. Il was placed under the chairmanship of the Minister of Labour, and included 12 members, recruited within the Universities and the different ministerial departments. Two regional boards were set up in Northern Norway, with auxiliary committees in each province. The responsibilities of these regional planning boards included: 1) the study of the economic situation of the region concerned, 2) the drawing up of a programme for the future exploitation of local resources, and 3) the co-ordination between the regional programmes and the national plan. The latter function, however, is mainly entrusted to the central agency.The development programme for Northern Norway was submitted to Parliament in 1951. All such programmes include two main parts: the economic and statistical analysis of the region concerned, and the plan to be adopted. This year, each region will have to submit a plan to the Central Commission.In spite of the socialist tendencies of the Government, State interventions are few, and mainly aim at encouraging and co-ordinating efforts in the field of regional planification. The State, however, has had to establish certain financial controls, with regard to prices, credits, importations, etc., but these restrictions have been gradually abolished.

The Functioning School Lunch

ONE cannot discuss the assigned topic without a preliminary statement about the function of the school lunch, whether provided by home, school or nearby restaurant, or the corner store. The noon meal selected by school children should be interesting to eat and should provide each day approximately one-third of the nutrients needed regularly for normal growth and for the maintenance of good health. Too often the school lunchroom is not a functioning part of the educational program of the school but is merely a convenient place where teachers and pupils can buy something to eat. Many homepacked 'lunches are so uninteresting that they are not eaten. Children who bring unsuitable lunches from home, or who eat undesirable types of lunches at home or elsewhere, and their parents need instruction to help them correct these conditions. Parents as well as pupils should be taught what foods are of special importance to children and why. Communities should see that provision is made for free lunches for indigent children, since this cannot be the direct responsibility of the school board.

The Responsibility of the American Board of Radiology for Setting up and Maintaining Standards in Radiological Education

We must remember that, primarily, the American Board of Radiology was organized to examine and certify to the competence of physicians who profess to specialize in radiology. Nevertheless, I think it will be agreed that the American Board of Radiology and radiologic standards are practically synonymous, for if the Board conducts examinations as they should be conducted it will automatically raise the standards of radiologic practice. On the other hand, the Board cannot raise the standards of radiologic practice beyond the capacity of the teaching facilities that we have in this country. To emphasize that point I shall quote from the recommendations for graduate training in radiology that were adopted by the Board in Atlantic City last Spring. Under “B,” the heading now reads: “Specialtraining, to be effective January 1, 1940,” but to-daythe date has been changed to January 1, 1942. The requirement follows: “A period of study, after the internship, of not less than three years in an institution or radiolog...
