DEBT TO AMERICA
SISTER KENNY'S MISSION
NEW YORK, January 25. "America's help saved Australia, and I consider it my debt to help to save America's afflicted," Sister Kenny told the Press. She said she was staying here until she could find someone to take her place teaching her method for the cure of poliomyelitis (infantile paralysis). "It may take a long time, because during 30 years I had to 'unteach' most therapists and doctors who came to me," she explained. "I came to America on a 65-dollar monthly grant from the Australian Government. I am paying 65 dollars monthly rent while trying to secure recognition. I wired the Australian Government for more money, but they replied that it would be against the law. I wired, 'Break the law,' and they did. That's why I am still here."
