TALK BABY BOLLNGER ETHICS
Medical sMen Discuss Subject In
Private.

series OF important sessions of some
OF .he best known men in the practice
OF medicine were held yesterday after
noon In the New Willard. The possibility
of the establishment Of a national
board of health was considered by the
scientists all of whom are members OF
the Society of Clinical Surgeons and
the American Medical Association
Physicians from every corner of the
country attended the meetings.
One OF the questions considered was
whether defective infants should be
allowed to die, as in the case of the
Bollinger baby of Chicago recently. The
physicians refused, however, to admit
the press TO their deliberations. saying
that the discussion was not for publica-
ton"

Chicago. Nov. 27.-The Withholding OF
the reports Of the Naval Board and OF
the General Stan of the Army on the
needs OF the Nation with respect to
military preparedness was denounced as
the ''unjustihable silenciag of experts by
the edict of bureaucracy" in an address
by S. Stanwood Menken. president Of the
National Security League. at the opening
OF the first annual convention of the
organization here today.
In the present emergency said the
speaker. I'VE protest against the spectacle
of our army and navy officers being
reduced to silence by the edict OF
and at this particular time. the people
have q right to know by oral testimony
the untrammeled views of those whom
they have trained for defense and on
whose intelligence and patriotism they
rely. Deprivation of the knowledge they
can give US is a wrong TO all the people
of our democracy. We have a right to
know and insist on learning all they
can tell us No one should decree our
ignorance through official censorship.
Europe knows more about us than We
know ourselves. as every foreign country
is acquainted with our actual conditions
and has the exact measure Of our weak
ness
Tt is clearly beyond discussion and ss-
tablished as true. that in terms of mod
ern war. the United States is absolutely
defenseless against any first-class power
To order our ships in the Atlantic into
action against either England or Ger
many. or those in the Pacific against
Japan. would be to decree the murder of
brave men who serve a negligent people
with courage and ability. Like conditions
exist as to our land forces. which are de-
icient in officers. men and ali the mate
rial OF war.
To a great nation like ours. a con-
tinuance Of this peril Is inconceivable. II
menaces our lives. our property. and
above all, our liberties. We have price
less heritage from our forefathers, and
We are going to be faithful to our trust |
whether the cost be either embarrassing |
or expensive. Our country belongs, not |
to the past or present generation. but |
10 the future as well Its existence is
a guarantee of world betterment and |
civilization.
National Responsibility.
We rely with confidence on those who
are truly our representatives. TO cure
the evil and TO respond to our proper de-
rnand without partisanship and with total
of all pride OF prior opinion.
To induce them to act. We must clearly
demonstrate the public demand and
broaden our efforts 10 arouse the people
TO their danger and their duty.
Preparedness means not only strength
y arms. but a mental state. q condition
of determination to b. nationally virile
and generally ready for the aggressor.
whether he be weak or strong As We
have entered upon this work we have,
As League and individually. a direct
responsibility. As the leading {
Ind most conservative body advocating {
iefense. we must not fail in our efforts. {

I'VE approve the creation OF an ade-
