Vol. IX - No. 10 BERKEE
ACCORDING to a report in a
national printing magazine,
more than 12 billion dollars
was spent last year for "research and development" -- primarily in the fields of chemistry, biology, physics, medicine, and the other scientific
disciplines.

From this research come
the poisons and fertilizers
that are turning our farms into deserts, stocking our grocers' shelves with toxic-flavored "stuffing" for stomachs of
mankind; pills, medicines, and
tranquilizers (such as thalidomide) that are converting the
maternity wards of hospitals
into "j ackpot machines" wherein one knows not if the product of incubation may be a
healthy scion or a deformed
monstrosity; toxins and vaccines for the introduction of
disease germs into otherwise
healthy persons; automation to
offset and counterbalance the
vicious fights between wages
and profits... Which means that
more than half of that research and development is more
negative than positive.

THIS 12 BILLIONS for R. and
D. does not include the multibillion projects for bombs,
rockets, space "spies" and
probes, and weapons of war!
Eventually, probably, the se

but it is a sad commentary on
man's inhumanity to man that
our most valuable advances in
the fields of science have been
spawned by war needs. If half

the Pentagon was being used
for better highways, improved
parks, education, and equitable government, there'd be no
need to shake in our boots for
