| have the privilege Of volunteering as
subjects for scientific experimental
tion-and suitable recognition for
this service to society or mankind
should be accorded such convicts-
say reduction of the term Of i'm
prisonment.
Prisoners who have been given life
or capital sentences should be avail
able to qualified scientific investiga-
tors for tests of the inoculability Of
cancer, the communicability of 1ep-
rosy by insect or other carrier. I
am fairly cold-blooded, but could
hardly sanction or justify such ex-
periments upon a volunteer whose
free life Is not already forfeit. Such
experimentation ON prisoner who
has been sentenced to life imprison-
ment would be entirely humane.
There are many experiments
which are not particularly danger
GUS yet need doing for the benefit of
humanity. Experiments In nutri-
ton, diet, body chemistry, physio-
logical action of medicines, anes-
thetics, antiseptics. Such expert
ments would not gravely affect the
subjects health or well being-at
worst they would cause only tenn
porary discomfort or restriction.
At present we rely too much on
animal experimentation and deduc-
ton by analogy, except in cases
where courageous or unselfish indi-
viduals volunteer as subjects purely
from love and devotion to science.
The welfare and life Of persons Of
that character should not be risked
in that way. Not while equally good
material rots in prisons supported by
the peoples good money. 1t Is
wrong to use valuable lives when
lives of comparatively little value
are available in prisons everywhere.
If the necessary legislation were
enacted probably great many con-
demned criminals would be glad Of
the opportunity to get what conso-
lation they might derive from SO
serving society which they have UNI
forgivably offended.

Government Backs Move

The conference made an attempt
to be presented as a spontaneous
action Of army wives. The govern
ment undoubtedly was back Of 1t, for
the Commissars attended the ses-
sions and approved. Certainly they
deny that they have something in
mind which will resemble Russia's
female "battalions of death" which
were on the firing line IN 1917. They
insist that the women of the con-
ference are organizing the Soviet
states just because they want to.
Women, unless an abnormal
life has created abnormal desires,
do not want to become trained
parachute jumpers and sharp
shooters. Therefore. the words OF
one of their conference leaders,
are appalling. She said: I'VE

the rifles from the hands Of the
