Ohio Representative Says
D. C.. Is Infested With
Pseudo Scientists.

Washington probably is infested with
charlatans. quack psychologists. char
acter analysts and religious takers. to
a greater extent than any other city
in the country. according to !scpresen-
tative Brooks Fletcher OF ONO.
Pscudo-scientistS of every description
are given strange tolerance here. Mr..
Fletcher said.
Speaking before the League for
Isrser Life Sunday night, Mr.. Fletcher
said: Let a dependable research sclen-
fist, after spending years OF invcstlSa-
ton. announce a new discovery III any
field Of scientific research and imme-
diately a swarm of takers make their
appearance and commence to operate
their "shell-game."
Because research Investigators i'll the
field of psychology have recently made
great advances and announced dlScov-
cries that are almost beyond belief. inn
mcdiately the country becomes filled
With pseudo psychologicalS, many OF
whom have no educational background.
They rent theater. advertise them
selves as psychologists. miracle workers
and proceed to bamboozle audiences
that hypnotic themselves into believ-
ing they are listening to real science
by a real scientist when in reality they
are too often listening TO hodge podge
of blatant platitude seasoned with a
smattering of scientific phraseology that
sounds like wisdom but is mostly bunk.
There is an intellectual market to-
day for the honest and sincere inter-
prefer of scientific knowledge who can
put the findings OF the laboratory in
vestigators in terms that will be un-
derstood by the man in the street. but
when such lesson is delivered 1t will
not be presented by mountebank adj
vertiSing college and medical degrees
never earned and claiming to perform
miracles in the name Of metaphysics,
ocultiSm or neutrality-suspicious..
After all the hundreds of millions we
spend for education it seems a strange
thing that so many people can be de-
ceived by the mountebanks who exploit
the public in the name Of pseudo
science and pseudo-religion.
1T Is perfectly evident that fool
is born every minute and all of them
live. with quite a large percentage of
them finding a residence in the Ma
tons Capital. otherwise the District of
Columbia would not be such easy
picking for the so-called character
analyst. psychological cha.latans and

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 16.@Ham and eggs diplomacy goes marching on successfully in Mexico as Dwight w. Morrow rounds out his first year as American Ambassa- dor.
 During that year he has ended, as an international issue, the long, vexing and sometimes threatening oil controversy. Seemingly, he has paved the way for gradual adjustment of the land question, in the sense of it's adverse effect upon individual American inter- ests. He has brought about an era of good will. Acting in a purely private capacity, he once had the religious question ap- preaching modus vivendi between the Mexican government and the Catholic church. Untoward circum- stances intervened and the pros pect was not realized. Morrow's good offices as an individual, not as an ambassador. are still being exercised and persons in touch with the situation has not aban- doned hope of an improvement.
 When Morrow reached Mexico, October 23, 1927. the relations of the two governments were not the best and had been, during pre- ceding years. sometimes strained and now and then acutely so. Nor

row has succeeded in substituting the friendliest relations the coun- tries have ever known for many years.
 He has done this without writing a note. Morrow's year in Mex ico is one of the few periods in history, and the only twelyemonths in decades devoid of single note from one government to the other over some serious issue or gen. eral question of policy. Notes are sent almost every day over routine matters of business. But Morrow has sent no notes involv- ing general important questions oi relations. His method has been personal discussion with the man running Mexico, made possible 'by his friendly contact with that man, President Gales. It seems he will have similar relations with Emilio Portes Gil. provisional pres ident elect, who will succeed Cal les November 30. And, of course he will continue to be friend ci Gales, who will remain in Mex leo City after he leaves the presi- dency and who, in or out of office will be powerful figure in Mexl- can affairs.
