ward D. Churchill. surgical con- sultant of the Allied Mediterra- mean forces, toured six German military hospital areas and report ed his findings. The report Is most significant in the light of eff forts to make medicine the ser want of politics in America. Com ments on the report are here reN printed by permission of COLL IERS the National Weekly.
 "As we all know. American doctors care of wounded in this war has been and continues phe- nomenal as regards it's record breaking percentages of cures and its development of new tech nioues and remedies. There was considerable expectation that the German doctors would have some pretty phenomenal achieve ments of their own to report but Col. Churchill did not find them.
 "A Generation Behind
 "His overall conclusion was that German handling of wounded was about 20 years be- hind the American procedure. Going into details, he reported that German army doctors as "a rule just casually passed up badly wounded men on the assumption that they were going to die any way, whereas our doctors fight to the last gasp for every wounded mans life, and frequently win ..
 "As for professional pride in pulling off near miracles of curN or amelioration, such pride just was not in the bulk of German military physicians and surgeons. f. . They were victims of apathy and lack of ambition which would enrage typical American doctor. This is sad backslide from Ger many's proud position as world l leader in medicine and surgery in ] the pre-Hitler days.
 How Did Ii Happen?
 Are there any lessons in it for us? It began to happen soon after Hitler saddled his brand of totali- tarianism on Germany. It seems reasonable to conclude that 1t happened because Hitler saddled Nazi totalitarianism on Germany. |. In Nazi philosophy, your race and politics matter far more than your brains and talents.
 You might be a brilliant physi- clan or surgeon or research scient- ist, but if you were a jew or an anti-Nazi of any description, you had to get out of Germany if you could, go to a concentration camp if you couldn't get out. Thus Hitler and his crew deci- master-race convictions, too, led logically to the use, in some concentration camps, of humans of inferior" breed as guinea pigs for laboratory experiments.

''In fact" he added, neither OF

in the Assembly unless they sub

from the work of boys and girls
from 5 to IT, plus related story by
Margaret Friskey. Not only are
some of the pictures surprisingly
we'll done, considering the inexperi-
ence of the artists, but they reflect
an outlook on life that is as cool
and fresh as water from mountain
spring. Two of the paintings are
the work of crippled children:
others represent the best efforts of
a Negro boy and youngsters of Irish,
Polish, Italian, German, Jewish and
Chinese ancestry.
The educational value of the
volume lies in the fact that the
combination of pictures and text
should broaden the readers UNDER
standing of boys and girls of diff
ferent racial and religious back

on the book go to an art scholar

THE MIND AT THE END OF ITS
TETHER, AND THE DREAM OF
THE HAPPY TURNING
By II. G. Wells. fDidier.
60 Sn

S2.5O.)
Here in one volume are two
posthumously published essays
by the late H. G. Wells-probab
the first of a large crop soon to
be expected. They carry on the
pessimism which Mr.. Wells ex-
pressed in his. works last pub
lished before his death. 1.-The
Mind at the End of It's Tether'
'prophesies the end of the human
species. "The Dream of the
Happy Turning" offers some
Isatirical criticism Of Christianity
as that faith, in it's historical
development, would appear in
the eyes of Jesus.
The species will end, says Mr.
Wells, just as previous species
have ended, from it's failure to
adapt to changed conditions.
But where, in the past, conditions
have changed through exterior
forces, with humanity the change
will come about through human
ity's own inventions. We will
eliminate ourselves, says Mr.
Wells, and wearily suggests that
it will be no great loss either
1t is a very sad little piece OF
writing.
"The Dream of the Happy
Turning" tells of Mr.. Wells
escape into the Elysian Fields
through his dreams. There he
meets Jesus and other great
exemplars and they express their
disgust and disappointment with
what men have made of their
teaching. The people on earth
today whom Jesus most detests,
says Mr.. Wells, are the Christians.
They cruelty me daily" He says,
and puts the blame for much OF
the misunderstanding on Paul.
There is more of the familiar
Wellsian fire in this piece but it,
too, is a small fragment to come
from the old master.
The book will probably be
wanted by addicts. For myself,
when I want to enjoy Wells, I
reread "Tono-Bungay" or scare
myself to death with THE Red
ROOM" which is the best ghost
story so far written in the Eng
lish tongue.
