HITLER AND IL DUCE. A SPECIALIST'S VERDICT. "
PHILADELPHIA. 1 Dr. John S. Perry, of the psychiatric department of St. Elizabeth's' Hospital! Washington, told delegates to the convention of the National Medical Association that Mussolini and Hitler are "psychopathic cases." "Mentally and emotionally they are men," he declared, "with the ability and power to do untold damage. "Mussolini's invasion of Ethiopia and his overthrow of Haile Silassie, let loose a general disregard for established government throughout Europe, which finds its logical outcome in the Spanish civil war. I "He is now doing all in his power to prolong the war by aiding the Rebels. If he succeeds in effecting a Fascist triumph in Spain, Fascism will take renewed courage throughout the world. Democracy will have a hard struggle to surrive." Tie convention was attended by more than 1000 negro physicians, dentists and pharmacists.
