To the Editor OF the Times
III American people would snow
more Judgment I'm finding objects or
pity, we would not be confronted by
such race problems as now threaten
TO degrade our nation III some OF
the silly sentimentalfsm wasted on
such cases as the Bollinger and
Cleveland babies, could lie converted
into sane endeavor TO help develop
the little ones who would be an nonor
to our country. but arc dying amid
poverty and ignorance, II would be n
wonderful thing.
n the attending physician was sure
the Cleveland baby would be de-
fcctive he should have seen that IL
did not live. What right has q ply,

vicious hordes. and we develop every
wcakling and defective?
Our government should take strict
measures 10 prevent the production
OF such children and provide for their
painlessly passing away when one Is
born.
The noblest OF our physicians toda y
refuse 10 allow defective to live and
the world never knows. After all "
defective In mind can we say II is
more than an animal? Let us do
Justice to our own descendants 10y
looking to the citizenship OF the
future.
