Psychiatrist Warns
Of Postwar Neurosis
By the Associated Press.


BALTIMORE, Jan. ga prom
inent British psychiatrist expressed
belief today that large increase in
neuroses throughout the world would
follow the war unless social and
political conditions were stabilized.
DR.. Walter S. Maclay, superintend-
ent of Mill Hill Hospital, London
chief British institution for treat
ment of military psychiatric cases
told doctors of the University Hos
pital yesterday:
"The war itself will not cause a
great rise in neurotic illness among
civilians. But the hidden neurotic
symptoms held in check during the
conflict will emerge If the environ
ment is unsatisfactory, if interna-
tional politics are unsettled and the
unemployment question gets worse
again"
DR.. Maclay spoke in connection
with the showing of film about
treatment of war neuroses at the
Mill Hill Hospital.
He disclosed that one third OF
the British war casualties were
psychiatric cases and that the ply
sicians had been too busy with them
to touch the problem of neurotics in
war industries.
He predicted that when your
(American) population groups be-
come stabilized and almost all non
|deferrable fathers have been taker
you'll probably discover that your
civilian preventive agencies will get
more results and the juvenile de-
curve will fall"

three officers who escaped from

story of Nipponese brutality, last
night urged the Nation to buy War
Bonds, as the national total rose
to $1,286, 100000.
Jap brutality" he said in state
ment released through the Treas
ury," is beyond description. I am
sure that if those prisoners still in
Jap hands could send a message to
the United States, they would ask
that the home front back them up
by buying as many War Bonds as
they can during the Fourth War
Loan drive"
Feature event scheduled today
aboard the Liberty ship American
Mariner at the Municipal Wharf
was the 2:30 pm. appearance of

pm. yesterday, and its skipper,
Comdr. Joseph H. Masse, predicted
bond sales aboard the vessel prob
ably would reach $2,200,OOO before it
leaves the dock tomorrow night.
Discussing the atrocities, Chair
man John A. Reilly of the District
committee said:
Now we've got to let 'em have
it, or hang our heads in shame.
War Bonds are home front bombs
that will exterminate the brutal
Japs. Washington residents should
take pride in the privilege now af-
forded them to lend our Govern
ment s95 100000 or more for the
purchase of the most devastating
weapons of war. This is the way
we can retaliate for the unspeak-
able atrocities inflicted on our
brave men,"
Meanwhile, first reports from Vir-
