Correspondence: 1919, Nov 26. - 1920, Mar 31., 1919-1920

Health insurance was being attacked as "un-American" by the newly formed New York League for Americanism, and the Association's attention focused on combating this opposition. Dr. Alexander Lambert, President of the AMA, wrote John Andrews (1/28/20), "I think that my profession will get over its present state of hysteria (over health insurance) just as my ancestors got over the Salem witchcraft." The federal employee retirement bill, known as the Sterling-Lehblach Bill, was energetically promoted throughout the spring. I. M. Rubinow was in Palestine during this period, and his scattered letters reported on the Zionist movement.
