TWO KINDS OF LETTERS
From a coiilributior to the Political Opinion
column today conies a request "to refuse
to publish any more of llcrr. Mandeville's articles
until he comes out. of the mire of rather
insipid satire that he is bogged in and gives us sopie
straight t'oi ward facts and new ideas."
We will not set ourselves up as judges of what is
"insipid satire." We do not know that, there is anything
wrong with "insipid satire,", We will not. judge whether
an article has "straightforward facts" oi "original ideas."
We think, as a mutter of fact, that Mandeville's statements
are entirely straightforward. We believe some of
his ideas are distinctly Original. But if we thought otherwise,
we would not refuse to print them.
When the limitations of space make, it necessary,
we will choose those letters for publication which we think
have the most straightforward facts and new ideas. Fortunately
we have so far had sufficient space to print all
letters, and we have printed them all regurdless of our
opinion as to their merits.
We shall continue this policy, with the exception
noted below.
Anonymous
Denunciations
An unfair shot from the dark is all
we can call the most recent, attack
front the opponents of Charles Man*
deville. We will not print this initialed communication.
Thus far in the career of the student opinion department
of this paper the following letters have been
rejected i one which came in too late, one signed but not
written by a freshman, and a few miscellaneous dissertations
from Blunton and Burns on occasions when they
wrote more than one in a week.
We will print all signed letters as long as we have
space, and we will make special efforts to provide space.
But we always keep the privilege of arbitrarily rejecting
unsigned letters.
The Item in hand is an uncalled-for personal attack
on Mandeville, We would probably tolerate the remarks
in a signed letter. From an unknown author, they arc not
printable.
The author credits Mandeville with this idea: "a
Naai-ficd United States would be a better place to live."
This is a distorted interpretation of Mandeville's statements.
We flatly assert that it is included in or implied by
nothing that Mandeville has written.
Everyone, however, can interpret Mandeville in his
own wny. We can't question that privilege.
But to the personal tone of tho letter we take exception.
We think it unjustifiable. We encourage the author
to try again and give us a logical discussion
points ho wants to. make.

Return To Close After Pernicious
Anemia Treatment at Johns Hopkins
By I'ut Nicholson
Over two hundred students greeted
Dr. Kdgur Altonburg with u thundering
burst of applause Wednesday
morning as the assistant professor of
j biology returned to the freshmuu
class he left some weeks ago because
of ill health.
There was an instant of complete
and surprised silence as AHenburg
walked into the physics amphitheatre,
but that silence was shattered as. the
class began the tumultuous demonstration.
Smiling and evidently much improved
by treatment received at
Johns-Hopkins in Baltimore, the
white-haired professor stood motionless
before the resounding applause
for several minutes without attempting
to speak.
Then evidently moved by the expression
of loyalty, Altenburg spoke
at some length, "It feels fine to be
back among you," ht» said, "among
real friends. I know that there are
many of you who would like to know
the nature of my ailment and how
I'm progressing.
"Since the diagnosis and treatment
of the disease is in itself a record of
modern progress in biological research,
I will take some time this
morning to discuss it with you.
"Physicians in Johns-Hopkins diagnosed
my ailment as pernicious
anemia, which is characterized by a
low number of red blood corpuscles
—-rdue either to their failure to be
formed or to their abnormal destruction
within the bodyl
"Pernicious anemia has a direct effect
upon the central nervous system
and leads to gradual loss of control
in the muscles. There is a protective,
insulating sheath around each nerve
fiber that is destroyed in 84 per cent
of pernicious anemia cases.
"The disease was fatal until 1927,
when Harvard experimenters discovered
the liver treatment. Liver con-
tains inherent constituents
Liberty And Roger Babson Sunday issued an
Security On An- attuck on all American plans for so-
American Plan cial security, basing his argument on
a chain of reasoning which any sort
of logic would declare invalid.
First, he says that the amount of money taken from
the worker's wages and from the employer must be added
to the price of the goods produced, thus disturbing the
balance between supply and demand und lowering the
commodity value of the worker's money.
Second, he "sums up" the situation with the question:
"Where would you rather live? In the America of
today where there is liberty for all but not security for
all "or in the Germany of today where there is alleged security
for all but liberty for none?
We grant Mr. Babson's first argument. No good will
be effected by the present plan. But why not continue
that argument ? Having got so far with such piercing
clarity of vision, Mr, Babson should be able to see that
there cannot be a balance of supply and demand under a
profit system—that the worker's money will always be
low in commodity value when more is charged for goods
than the cost of the labor and material necessary to produce
them.
Recognizing this fact, Mr. Babson should proceed
from it to try to devise a successful scheme for sociarsecurity,
not sit down and admit that there never can be
any security,
And second Mr. Babson again drugs in the proposition
that we discussed several weeks ago in connection
with an article on "Civil Liberties." He asserts: Germany
couldn't do it, and neither can we.,,
Is there any reason to suppose that because security
and liberty are mutually exclusive in Germany they must
necessarily be so in America? Must we admit that since
Germany docs not have both, neither can we? Or shall
we plan and hope that a new way, an American way, not
yet suggested by Mr. Babson or Mr, Roosevelt, can be
found ?
Mr. Babson advocates security for the "worthy aged,"
and not for "every Tom, Dick, and Harry." If we thought
as Mr. Babson, that there are some who are not "worthy"
of security, we should be content to accept a Nazi regime,
saying that they are not "worthy" of liberty either,
and it doesn't make much difference what they get.
But we believe that it is within the idealism and ingenuity
of America to establish a political and economic
organization which will guarantee to all the fruits of our
productive country and make each man as free as his
neighbor.

This is a free country—but the city jail doesn't know
it yet.

The Machine Regretfully ve note that a Har-
And the Mind vard physicist has "closed the doors
of his laboratory to the citizens of
totalitarian states."
We had half-heartedly hoped that there was some
truth in the statements we had heard from scientists—
that science was the one thing which would remain undisturbed
through the political turmoils of the world,
rising as a search for truth above every consideration of
ruce and belief,
But the incident of the Harvard physicist confirms
our belief that science is a mere tool of emotion, that man
will never enjoy the results of his technical ability until
he has properly ordered his political and economic life.
