The real significance of the Anglo
American naval negotiations is that
the forthcoming naval conference in
London should enable the world to
read its future for the next genera
ton In terms of peace or war.
There is nothing jingoistic In
facing international facts. We all
know that a more disastrous conflict
than war between America and
Britain can not be imagined. No
war, unfortunately, is yet unthink-
able. Indeed, everything which his
tory teaches us shows that these
two nations must change the Oft
repeated course of events-or fight.
The plain truth is ominous. To
the British Empire, maritime SUI
premacy has meant everything.
Whether wrestling it from Spain,
Holland and France or keeping it
against the threat of Germany, sea-
power for 300 years has been the

'BARNUM RIGHT
ON SUCKERS
SAYS FISHBEIN
Times Writer Scores Cults
CapitaIizing on Ills
of Humanity.
BY DANIEL NJ. KIDNEY

"a sucker is born every minute
and each hour a crook is born to
take care OF the sixty suckers. This
ratio is apt to continue in the world,
despite the spread of education"
Drafting this adage from COM
bination of statements of P. T.
Barnum and Professor Joseph
JaStrow, DR.. Morris FiShbein. editor
of the Journal of the American
Medical Association and Hygiene,
used it to open and close his lecture
at the Kirshba.m Community Cen
ter Sunday night.
The lecture subject was Mental
Dynamite and in it, DR.. Fishbein
dealth harshly with various mental
and mechanical healing cults that
have found America bonanza.
Talks Two Hours
He talked as rapidly as a circus
barker and continued for two hours
without pause, an astonishing phys
ical feat. The auditorium was
packed, and the speaker kept his
audience entertained with the zeSt
of his delivery and humorous en-
phasis amid the most devastating
attack on what he considers quack-
cry.
Religious healing was discounted,
except in mental cases where there
is no organic disease.
THE Socalled intellectuals are the
most apt to be taken in by quack-
cry" DR.. Fishbein declared. Some
one has defined the intelligentSia
as young people who have been ed
ucated beyond their intellect"
He pointed out that socalled test
monialS" are most effective. al
though absolutely worthless in
spreading various cures. He cited
the case of certain skin prepare
tions advertising with pictures OF
Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth
and Queen Marie. Sums of $4,000
and $4,000, respectively, were paid
for permission to use them, he said.
Many moving picture stars will
indorse anything for price, he
asserted.
Free speech and free press Is SUI
| fering from organized attempts to
thwart any adverse discussion OF
a certain religious healing cult, he
charged.
Chronic sufferers always are
pinning their faith to the latest
cult" DR.. FiShbein asserted.
'I do not object to an adult trr.--
ing any cure he sees fit, but it does
seem to me that it is a public mat
ter when children are permitted to
carry diphtheria and die without
medical attention"
Los Angeles Leader
Los Angeles wins the palm for
American "quackery," as all the
cults and isnS hold forth there he
declared, citing Aimee Semple Nc
Pherson as an outstanding example.
Women are the more credulous
and support most of the cults, he
contended.
Healing cults have risen and dis
appeared since the hiEtory OF man
kind began and there is no reason
to think they will not continue to
Go so, he concluded.
DR.. Fishbein writes daily health
column for The indianapolis Times.
His speech Sunday night was one
of the open forum series and was
followed by questioning.
