In your Message to Congress, August 8, 1919, Mr. President, you
expressed a very strong and interesting thought in condemnation of all
unjust, arbitrary and coercive forces in the body politic, and the
necessity of suppressing them in the interest of human welfare. This
thought applies most aptly in the present case against the evils of
dominating, arbitrary and coercive Medicalism, and I am therefore very
glad to quote it here as my closing sentence, where, it seems to me, it
has the force of a whole chapter in the space of one small paragraph.
“The world has just destroyed the arbitrary force of a military
Junta. It will live under no other. All that is arbitrary and
coercive is in the discard. Those who seek to employ it will
only prepare their own destruction.”
Respectfully submitted,
