Some Doctors!

MERICAN medical men who have surveyed Rus
n sian medicine say that the average Soviet doctor
Knows about as much as an American trained nurse.
The Bolshevks qudating the old Russian ruling Glass;
Inundated most of that class excellent German and
Rritishtrained physicians Hurried mass production
lowers doctor qualy-though it is fact that there
are more DOCTORS such they mnistering to Rus
sias masses today than there in midwife -andikon
Czarst times
i What Russian Communism does to doctors charac-
ters and consciences is strikingy illustrated by the
sreason" trial confessions of three leading Russian
doctors who allowed to treat only influential per-
sons-Drs L. G. Levin D. D. Pletnyeff and N. Kaza-
koff These men say that orders from Henry G.
Yagoda then head of Russa's secret police they muir
dered four prominent patients by giving them wrong
treatments. Most prominent of these Maxim
Gorky Russian writer, who was al
UO'ky U'Oe" lowed to die, according to the confess
NO CLtW"'""' sions, without shot of stmuant
which would have kept him alive 10 minutes longer.
Suppose that in this country Chief Oman j. Edgar
Hoover could intimdate the famous medical brothers,
the Mayos into numbering superior whose job Hoover
wanted Then suppose the Mayos were treating Booth
Harrington, and that Mr.. Harrington in conversation
one day dropped remark expressing some doubts as
to whether the Presidents Supreme Court unpacking
plan was as wise or Lmely as mlRnC De- suppose
Hoover, hearing of it, had told the Mayos to
Mr.. Harrington.
"And while you're about it," suppose Mr.. Hoover
had sad you'd better knock off this guys too He
drinks too much, and he's bad influence on the old
man." =
Suppose these orders had been carried OUT and that
thereupon Mr.. Hoover now having plenty the Mayo
brothers. had blackmailed them into beginning the
slow poson-murder of the next in line for Hoovers
job All this because Hoover wanted Roosevelt's job.
That is hypothetical which parallels the doc
tor story brought out in solemn testimony before high
Soviet Russian court. The doctors confess to it:
Yagoda confesses to it, They join with the Stanists in
calling themselves the lowest of human vermin.
Reading of such things only join with both the
Stanists and the Trotskysts in believing what both fac
tons about each otherhat the Boshevks who made
the Russian Revolution and their heirs and assigns now in
power or in JAIL and indeed some of the lowest
vermin on the face of the earth ....
We imagine that the verminous performances of all
these people be blamed largely the useless murder
1918 of Car Nicholas and his daughers-a harmless
nxJ - and mildly liberal man who had already
"a nE been successfully deposed, and his four
"a "0 young daughters whose only crime con-
sisted in having been born. That act established murder
the final argument in Russia in all disputes we see
1t. Committed to murder instrument of policy the
Boshevks proceeded to "iqudate" about 100000 mem
bers of the old ruling class and about 100000 farmers
By viewing these treason trials trials of murderers
by other murderers make out of them
