After my third examination of

TO me chat the letter Hayashi al
legged he had been writing might
have been posted and would then
still be in the postbag as, in the
course of routine, I had given in
structions on the morning Of the
9th that no letters were to be sent
ashore. This turned out to be the
case, and I had the letter translat-
ed by the yachts second cook, who
Is a Japanese. He attestS that the
original could not have been writ
ten in less than eight minutes, leaV-
ing Hayashi only II minutes to
change. His story therefore, ap-
pears to be true.
The lounge steward, Cane, con-
firms the fact that the supply OF
ships notepaper in the writing
room ran out early in the after
noon, before HayaShi came on
board, and tht he could rot rchll
the racks until the chief steward.
who had the keys of the store
room, got bac,, from his trip
ashore.
He further ct<tcs that ! "ashi
handed MIN the letter for posting
ON arriving in the lounge &, 8:l5.
It is obvious, therefore, that Ha-
yashi could not have procured the
paper earlier or written the letter
at any other time than that APP

The cabin steward, Ringbottom,
also confirms that Hayashi was
still unchanged when he brought

And Mr.. Roosevelt is entitled to . re.
spectful hearing. It is his privilege and
his duty to express the thought that
is in his mind, the aspiration that Is in
his heart. Likewise, 1t is the obligation
of the public to evaluate his doctrine Of
change, his theory of reform. Nothing
more important than the current debate
could be imagined at the present time.
The President recognizes that fact, and
his audience surely understands 1t.
Hence his recourse to the microphone
and resort of the "listeners-in" to the
loudspeaker. Mr.. Roosevelt will consult
the Nation; then the Nation should
record its response.
In other words, the people will sit as
jury and the President will appear in
the role of special pleader," advocat-
ing a particular policy Of procedure
toward the goal Of immediate correction
of alleged faults in the governmental
system of the United States. Mr.. RooSe-
welt will wish to be informed of the
public reaction; his opponents also will
desire to be advised. Therefore this
evenings broadcast may be regarded as
an appeal for mandate. So far as the
administration is concerned, it is a direct
request for a vote of confidence. The
President seems to be willing to discount
the results of the recent election. He
seeks the opinion of the electorate again.
Thus, those who listen to his address
have license to write at once to their
Senators and Representatives, convey
ing to them their views of the prevailing
question. Patriots will not fail to meet
the challenge of the responsibility.

learning more Of the complicated physi-
cal workings Of the nervous system it
self, of the effects on the mind of varia-
tions in blood chemistry, Of the almost
unbelievable results of endocrine secre-
tions. Diverse schools grew up. They
waged bitter battles with each other.
RelentlesSly, as scientists should, they
demolished each others thought Struc-

White emerged as the great synthesizer.
Both, OF course, stood directly opposed
to plain common sense, as 1t seemed to
the lay public and most physicians.
There was little inclination to recognize
cause and effect, either physical or men
tai, in human behavior, or to seek out
any such sequences. To educate out of
the delusions of common sense, often
distinguishable from the delusions of the
insane only because more persons hold
to them, was the task of poet a
philosopher and evangelist. DR.. White
was all of these. To this task he set
himself. He accomplished much. Not
only do the mentally afflicted the world
over owe him an unpayable debt. He

acknowledged, modestly enough, this
kinship with the poets.
To Dr. White the successful direction
Of a great mental hospital was little
thing-important in itself largely be-
cause it provided such abundant and
excellent material for the study of the
laws Of human behavior. The behavior
of the insane is seldom more than an
exaggeration of the behavior trends OF
mankind in general. But this very ex-
aggeration makes them stand out in
sharp relief, where they can be studied.
And, as has so often been said, "the
world is all right; it's only the people in
It," What men think precedes and gov
erns what they do. The way to any
now imaginable Utopia lies through the
mind. DR.. White opened the gates
little way. He saw brief, confused visions
of a far world of universal human
brotherhood. His dying leaves the gates
ajar-with no man in sight who may
open them further.
