CANT BLAME ALL OF

Editor. The Times: Ella
Bringoh, by not stating what
percent of defective children in
our state came from alcoholic
parents. or whether they were
all born since prohibition was
repealed, leaves an impression
on the reader that alcohol
caused all of our cases. A COM
parison such as that is just as
inconsistent a saying that any
one following Hitler's personal
diet will have offsprings that
would be nazi. While the use

Anyone who wants seriously
to study mental cases in gem

findings included the fact that

Editor, The Times: A corre-
spondent who is fair enough to
grant the integrity Of Lind
bergh and other leading oppo-
nents of involvement in Euro

ognition of moral issues. To
this may ! give four answers:
First, we fought the last war
on moral issues-to save democ-
racy and end war-only to usher
in the era Of dictators and uni
versal war. At the close of the
first World war. President Will
son himself acknowledged 1t to
be war of economic and COM
mercial rivalries: and Winston
Churchill said it would have been
better if America had minded
her own business" Not only
did we fail OF our moral obiec-
tives, but brought ruin and dis
tress upon our own nation and
threatened our own democracy.
Second. ideals Of democracy

them and becoming totaltarian

If we go To war. Americas great
contribution is to prove that
democracy can and does work
and by being ready to help
establish ideals when the war
does end. II we go down into
the pit, one nation will remain
to reorganize the world-Russia,
with its philosophy. We cannot
kill ideas with guns. We can
establish them by making them
work.
Third. IL we are to wage war

Their findings eventually will
become a boon to mankind. De-
tails cannot be given for fear
that they might tip off the Ger
mans. but here are a few high
lights:
Research by navy and Johns
Hopkins scientists has developed
an apparent cure for cholera, a
disease which may become more
OF problem to our armed
forces in view OF the decision to
fortify tropical bases. 1t is
known as sulphanilgusnadine.
The navy has not sufficient
funds to buy this drug for ex-
perimental purposes. But a pri-
waite company contributed / 800
pounds TO Uncle Sam. This sup
ply has been shipped to Shang-
hal, where naval doctors will try
the drug on the native popula-
ton. In view of successful pre-
liminary tests, the British have
bough 1000 pounds for use in
Egypt and the Middle East.
Army-navy scientists have de-
veloped also new kind Of
blood bank" for transfusions on
and off the battlefield. And this
must remain a secret, for II is
an invention supposedly I'M
known here or abroad. It will
require 90 days research. and
about $50. 900, to copper-rivet
this discovery. But because OF
the lack of funds, the navys
scientists may be unable to con-
elude their research and recon-
mend this life-saving formula to
the armed services.
