Dear Dr. Lamm: Please pardon the presumption of an eighty-four year old woman of addressing you to add a word of my own to your wonderful thesis in the B’nai B’rith Messenger of Los Angeles, Calif. Many years ago, the late Josef Stalin (of unblessed memory) boasted that his chemists could produce life in a test tube. Could they also produce the sun, moon and stars, among which, as you know, is Arcturus? Could any chemist produce the four seasons? Could any of the scientists produce the heavens, the seven seas, and the earth? The winds, as they “bloweth” – whence they come from and whither they go? The late Professor Charles Steinmetz created artificial thunder and lightning, which has been copied in, and by theatricals; but aside of the so-called “rain-makers” what humans, even the greatest scientists, can produce the natural elements? I thoroughly believe in, and admire some of the wonderful things that science has done for the benefit of humanity, but some of them we could well do without, such as murderous weapons and other death-dealing productions, such as are now being used in the present wars. No amount of wrongs can make a right. Perhaps the distant future will find a better way. We no longer live in a cave; we are living on a planet and neither time nor tide nor divide distances. Very sincerely yours, Sonia H.D
