The Readers Viewpoint
Says Post Isn't a Socialist

To the Editor Of the Erening Public Ledger:
Sir-Your editorial reference to Louis F.
Post as the Socialist Assistant Secretary Of
Labor is a misstatement. Mr.. Post is a
dyed-in- the-wool orthodox single taxer, and
would very likely resent being classed as a
Socialist. Being orthodox, of course, limits .
persons horizon, and 1t has been said that
orthodoxy is mental constipation. l can un-
derstand how thinking person could be-
come single taxer. but not how really
thinking one could become Socialist. The
single taxer is much nearer solution Of
industrial problems than the Socialist, but his
remedy is only about 20 per cent correct at

YOU CAN'T HURRY BIOLOGY

cility en- masse 1t is for canares to
sing. 1t is the racial genius of the type.
But unfortunately for the world Prussia
became imbued with the conviction of a
divine mission. Prussia also construed
Darwin's thesis that might makes right to
include the idea of killing. This was the
intellectual error which has brought Prus-
sia in conflict with the law Of nature that
a species may not prey upon itself if it is
to survive.
TNHE militaristic nightmare is now so
L firmly fixed in Germany's consciousness
that one may be pardoned for some dis
couragement in wondering how she is to
be rid of it. But Doctor Morris holds out
one interesting thought Though like most
of the biologists hopefulnesses 1t may take
several generations or even centuries to
work itself out. 1t is this: Nations, like
varieties of plants or animals, reach cul-
tural limit, after which they decline obedi.
ent to the laws of protoplasm. The Nor
gan horse and the Wilson strawberry
reached that limit, ceased to breed and are
now extinct. In the same way Prussia,
Doctor Morris says, has passed the peak
of her career. This Is shown by her de-
clining brth-rate, which began to fall
about the beginning of the present century.
Seven hundred thousand fewer children
were born in Germany in 1917 than in
1914.
DUT as the stock of the German race is
- one Of the finest and sturdiest ever pro-
duced OH this planet 1t looks as though we
won't be able to wait for that declining
brth-rate to fight our battles for us. Even
though it is interesting to take the biolo-
gist's long. time view for an evening, the
only conclusion we can come to, being
finite human atoms, is to 80 our little
portion while we have our boots on. Ma
ture may be making sport OF us, hazing us
with these international scuffies while she
is really marking time for the great Malay
| empire that will dominate the planet a
| thousand years hence. But the deuce Of II
| is, we want to get some settled peace and
decency on earth while we're here to enjoy
| it,. You can't hurry biology, but we wish
| 1t worked just little faster! C. u. M.
