Medicine and Torture

A NY one who has trace of mercy
"A or love in his heart, deplores
mans inhumanity to man"
The phrase has become trite, but
none the less true, during these days
of horror added to horror in the &C
counts of what human beings can do
to other human beings.
But there is another phase of
savage sadism that continues with
unchecked or unreproved ferocity,
regardless of wars or world crises,
and is wreaked by man under the
pretext of scientific study upon his
oldest, most faithful and blameless of
friends the dog.
Vivisection, the dissection of liv-
ing animals" always a degrading
practice and never an efficient method
of study, is still carried out, by the
most brutal means, upon 100000
dogs every year in hospitals, labora
tories and schools.

"A men Of knowledge and expert
ence, men who uphold moral stand

senseless butchery and expose the
fallacies, the wrong conclusions, the
bestiality and the insensate cruelty
of vivisection.
Consequently, the notion that
vivisection is necessary because it
helps to save human lives, has been
thoroughly exploded.
Not by Sentimentalists, but by
physicians, surgeons and patholo-
gists.
They have pointed out that the

curiosity, psychopathic blood-lust,
sadistic sensation, no matter under
what pretext, vitiate and destroy the
moral core of man.
THEY have stressed the basic point
Il that vivisection as a means of
study is obsolete, misleading and
harmful and totally unnecessary in
science, putting aside all considera-
tions of ethics or sentiment.
Nevertheless, vivisection contin-
ues and fourishes.
Students whose studies should be
directed toward modern therapy are
ordered, encouraged and applauded
when they demonstrate that if GER
tain parts of dogs brain are re-
moved the animal ceases to walk or
see; or, that interference with Ger
tain vital functions induces agony; or
that, in brief, what was once clearly
proved upon canine victim some
millions of dogs back, holds good
today.
Fortunately, conscience and
knowledge are coming to the rescue.
FORTUNATELY there are people,
4 and groups of people, who are &C
tive in the defense of our animal
wards and servants and friends.
Fortunately, the lust of torment,
MAIN and kill on the pretense of
study" is being revealed in all its
revolving details.
1t is high time indeed that either
science itself, or better yet the law,
get busy and remove this haggard
and debasing spectacle.
Not only for the sake of helpless
animals, but for the sake of true
science.
The better selves of our nobler
nature cannot much longer be
affronted by pseudo scientific bar

The President Us RIGHT

management have nothing to fear,
and everything to profit by and
benefit from, in system of impartial
adjudication of industrial disputes.
AS the President so we'll said:
"That is the pay to ELIMINATE
unnecessary friction.
That is the way to PREVENT
lockouts and strikes.
"Thot is the woy to KEEP PRO-
DUCTION GOING"
Compulsory arbitration would not
be an instrument serving the in
terests or advantage of either labor
or management.
It would be an instrument for
searching out and upholding the
TRUTH.
1t would keep the productive en-
terprises of the country operating
without interruption in spite of any
controversy.
1t would prevent idleness and the
cessation of wages during the course
Of any controversy.
It would assure the whole country
and all it's people of the vital goods
and services of productive industry,
pending adjudication of differences.
In short, it would serve the best
interests of the American people, de-
termine the JUSTICE of any claims
or issues raised by the American
people, and in the meantime KEEP
THE PEACE among the American
people.
The processes of collective bar
gaining, as the President said, have
been undertaken with hopeful ex
pectation in some quarters that they
would give the country the industrial
peace it desires.
But they have repeatedly and
consistently FAILED to do so.
In spite of them, disastrous
strikes have occurred and are occur
ring, and the American people not
only do not like them but will not
much longer endure them=espe-=
cially when the impartial machinery
of compulsory arbitration would
prevent them.
Detroit evening times., 1945-11-14

WHEN President Truman warned
w the labor management confer
ence that industrial strife in the
United States must end because 1.-THE
American people do not like it," he
was RIGHT.
The President was even more
right when he said that if the repre-
sentatives Of labor and management
are unable or unwilling to employ the
processes of collective bargaining to
establish and preserve industrial
peace in the country:
"Then there must be a Dilling-
ness to use some IMPARTIAL MA
CHINERY for reaching decisions on
the basis of proUen facts and reatii-
ties instead of rHmor or propaganda
or partisan statement"
There is, of course, only one way
to provide impartial machinery for
that essential purpose-and that way
is through the honest and adequate
and competent agencies of sensible
and trustworthy and patriotic sys-

TION.

Trained from endorsing and pro-
posing an American system of
compulsory arbitration by name, he
clearly and unequivocally did so IN
PRINCIPLE.
He said, in effect, that the Ameri-
can people would be glad to find the
answers to the problems of industrial
peace in such a device as collective
bargaining and such a gathering as
the labor management conference.
But he also said with grim assur-
ance;
"W the people do not find the
ANSWERS here, they WILL find them
some place else. -
"For these answers MUST AND
WILL be found.
"The whole system of priuate
enterprise and individual oppor-
tunity depends upon finding them"

PART ii

TNHERE was time in the past not so many
l. decades ago. when we had the 12-hour day,
but through the use of the creative mind,
through the increased use of mechanical energy
and better tools, we were able to produce more
and better goods with fewer man hours, and
1t became possible not only to raise the budget
of the things which the average family en-
1oyed but also to give American workers,
farmers and others, an extra dividend in the
form of increased leisure.
We thought it was progressive in the past
to keep decreasing the number of man hours
that were needed to achieve given job.
Well at the moment they may mean by
"full employment that everybody should
work eight hours a day, five days a week.
But say why Is there anything final about
that: Who knows what new sources of
energy will be used in the future? We may
be confronted by the choice at some future
time of deciding whether we want still more
leisure or still more goods.
In the last half century or more, in the
Towering Of the American system, we have
decided to take both simultaneously, that is
to take both more and better goods and also
more leisure.
And we would be in very unhealthy state
of society if we really had what the theorists
call full employment. 1t would mean that we
have chronic manpower shortage; it would
mean that not only in the emergencies of war
but in season and out the employer would have
no opportunity for selecting personnel.
7 THINK that in a society of optimum growth
i and development you need competition.
think We need even competition for the SUI
perior jobs. And think that you must have
some area for fuctuation and growth. How
ever, if the national economy is in balance we
can count on a high level of employment and
of business volume.
You and l are trying TO be intellectually
honest and to analyze our problems. Accord

Both were in parties of three per-

hunting.
When the wind and rain came up,
the hunters decided to call of the
sport and sought their boats. In
the case of the Hillerman party,
when the boat was found to be miss

Swimming about $50 yards, he
