FOREIGN PANACEAS
WARNING TO BRITONS NO LASTING BENEFITS SCIENCE VERSUS POLITICS (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Reed. Sept. 16, 11 a.m.) ' LONDON, Sept. 15. Lord Ilorder, addressing the British Association, pungently criticised dictatorships, asking, did the colour of men’s shirts matter if they soon became, shrouds.
“If a clash came between the hordes of Fascist and Communist barbarians, the salvation, or doom of the world would depend on whether -western Europe and America were able to preserve individualised society,” he said.
Britain should not trade her national characteristics of individuality and poise for vaunted foreign panaceas. No -wonder the nerves of people to-day were on edge.
“Any honest doctor will tell you,” he said, “ that most organic complaints are due to anxiety and neurosis. As fast as science has been eliminating disease, functional disorders are increasing. Nevertheless, it is wrong to blame science for our troubles. On the other hand, it has loaded man with benefits to which he lias shown indifference, or used with criminal carelessness and prodigality.”
