Paul V. Collins Queried
AS TO American History

70 the Editor OF The Star:
My attention has Just been called to
an article by Mr.. Paul v. Collins, which,
under the heading OF Background OF
Events" you published on the editorial
page OF The Evening Star on Saturday,
July Il.
In this article Mr.. Collins seizes upon
the assassination of President-elect
Obregon as q pretext for giving TO the
public his Interpretation OF the history
of Mexico.
Some months ago the eminent editor
OF one OF the most esteemed daily pa
pers of Mexico City deplored the fact
that sources from which the facts con-
corning the history OF Mexico are to be
derived are not available. and protested
that too often the history of Mexico
has been written by men who were the
agents of this or that dictator" We
might, therefore. pardon q member of
the staff of your esteemed paper for q
lack OF knowledge concerning the his
tory of Mexico.
But when Mr.. Collins. referring to the
history of our own country explains
the downfall OF the Macmillan Empire
In the following language
HE reigned until after our Appofnat-
tox, when the Union Army appeared
upon the frontier to enforce our Mon
roe Doctrine"
he is guilty of misstating facts with
which every primary schoolboy In the
United States ought to be familiar.
1t would be useless to discuss In de-
tail the strange statements which Mr.
Collins makes with regard to the history
of Mexico until he has enlightened us
as TO the source from which he drew
this strange information concerning the
history of our own country.

Homesick for the Sea.

Life, emerging from the sea, has never
entirely conquered dry land. Not even
the highest form of vertebrate life. Man,
has broken loose altogether from the
ties which bind him to the first vertc-
brates, the fishes. He still Is organi-
cally homesick for the days when he
was fish or a tadpole.
Thus Gulbraud Lunde Of the Univer-
sity of Oslo explained to the American
Chemical Society at Northwestern Uni
versity the other day the liability of the
human organism to goiter when far re-
moved from the original element OF life
with its plentiful supplies of iodine in
solution.
Life existed In the sea, or In marshes
near the sea, as some would have It,,
far longer than it has existed ON land,
and 1t is not surprising that the living
body has not yet entirely succeeded in
adapting itself to a strange environ
ment. 1t is not over the stage of home
sickness. Golfers, In the last analysis,
are organic expressions of inconsistencies.
A few more millions of generations in
the new habitat will be necessary before
the painful longings Of the body cells
can be overcome entirely.
A little iodine acts like a letter from
home. or like a bit of Mother Oceans
own home cooking. Fortunately, it all
ways can be supplied, and will be need
ed for a long time to come. Verte-
brate life no longer is very young and
plastic. It cannot change so rapidly in
adapting itself to a new environment as
once it could
Theorists on the Ills Of the human
body quite frequently find that their re-
searches lead them far behind the days
of human life itself into the days Of
transition from invertebrate to verte-
brate life, from marine life to land life
and from quadruped life to biped life.
These great changes were not accom-
plished without stresses and strains
which. however beneficial, left weak
nesses behind them to trouble far-dis-
tant generations.
In the case of goiter. theory as to the
ultimate responsibility follows discovery
of the cure, but there may be cases
where the process viii be reversed and
the remedy will depend upon a correct
deduction as to the origin.
