Committee, which was indorsed by the AMA House of Delegates at the St. Louis meeting in December, have stooped to dubious and what might even be called un-American propaganda.

Caused Violent Reaction

ONE EXAMPLE is the letter sent to all Protestant ministers and addressed to ‘dear Christian - American.”

Apparently - through -& blunder it was later sent to Roman Catholic clergy and to Jewish rabbis and produced a violent reaction. One passage in this éxtraordinary letter says: vi ? “To the Christian who oelieves in the sanctity of life, nothing could be more dangerous ‘than the spectacle of politicians arbitrarily juggling the birth rate, through the application of propaganda or compulsion by means of an abuse of political medicine. Once power over all medical services is concentrated in the hands of a few bureuacrats, it would be inevitable *that—sooner or later—they would misuse it to establish ‘quotas’ for the babyy crop in the same way that the Agriculture theorists set ‘quotas’ for farm production.” In a special note to members, the National Physicians Committee said that the mailing of this “Dan Gilbert Washington letter” had come out of “conferences and contacts extending over a period of two years.” The doctors _were advised to take it up with “your minister and the editor of your local newspaper.” ‘AMA representatives say the association was not consulted at all about this letter, They seem to realize that this kind of propaganda can do far more harm than good.
