A WISE man has remarked that
"A the lesson of history is that we
learn nothing from history.
Thus in the present period of war
time citation and emotionalism, inter
national, theorists, in planning for
the postwar world, run directly into
the face of American experience.
They glibly assume that the road
to easy wealth is through an export
bonanza, overlooking the fact that in
the years of peak prewar prosperity,
1927 1929, this country, in deriving
only 6 per cent of the national income
from exports, relied less on foreign
trade than virtually all other nations.
Some, such as Cuba, derived almost
70 per cent of their national income
from exports.
WITHOUT relating their theories
w to actual conditions, they as
sumo that we must have two way
trade with imports equalling exports
in amount. But if such a desirable
equilibrium is achieved, foreign
trade, though enriching our life, will
be a net standoff in it's effect on
employment in the United States.
For the employment in the export
trades will be offset by giving en-
ployment overseas, instead of at
home, in the import items.
But such a theoretical goal would
nevertheless be better than our ex-
perience between World War I and
World War II, when we in effect
gave away goods to foreign peoples
who were unable or unwilling to pay.
Blithely recognizing these facts
and yet ballyhooing for super colos-
sal export trade at any price, R. G.

trying do something to help eliminate this evil and
have helped to make both of the senators from my
state conscious of the conditions prevailing on this
situation.
l have suggestion would like 10 make for your
next article and l do hope you are going to write
many many more. and that is that you ask your
readers to write to their senators and give them their
opinions of the terrible things that are happening to
these poor helpless animals. so they will be more
aware of how the public feels about such things.
l have no doubt that your magazine goes INTO
many homes in many cities. Some years back sent
some pictures and literature to Mr.. Hearst on this
subject and he series in the papers such as yours
II is good to know else is taking up where
he left off and that you good and human enough TO
bring these evils before the public as this is the only
way this evil practice can be stamped out

Truly the dissection of living animal without
the use of an anaeshetic is the devnspired work

America will not be privileged to even begin to call

necessary crueltes off the face of the continent.
There can be no exaggeration as to the brutality

advance social and scientific progress succeed only in

treated and experimental on by doctors by VVi-
section
love animals and can't imagine any human being
torturng the poor animals in such way.
We talk about the Japs being cruel and masters tiers
practice on these defenseless animals?
know there are many people who have pets who
feel the way do about this and want to do some
thing to end such things forever.
hope that law ending this practice of vvisecuon
will be passed by Congress soon.

GENTLEMEN:
CONGRATULATIONS on your article concerning
~ "Vivsection" by Lionel Calhoun Noise 1t is my
personal opinion it should be exploited and advertised
continuously to keep fresh in the socalled minds OF
the mentally stagnant public.
Such atrocities primarily due TO ignorance in
the home where youngsters drag themselves up in the
world instead of being properly brought up.
Being extremist such unholy. unnecessary
Hitherto actions make my blood hot and cold.
Regardless of the reason any person who per-
form such an act is definitely sadist.
Perhaps the fine art of torture may be checked
but it lis extremely doubtful if it be altogether
abolished-dd law abolish murder Laws are made
for the lawless but the innocent are punished few
dollars here and there and you have your best
friend murdeFed-a few more and some dope Will take
the rap
With such utter disregard for the human animal
can't hope for for the unfortunate dumb
animal who lacks both the power Of speech with which
to plead his cause and the money to pay OIL few
politicians.
Perhaps law rigidy enforced tis there such

diaboca nature Of mankind than this Vivsection-
the horror of warfare does impress but in that case
there lot of forces that drive the soldier
there is something than the order OF the superior
