cal Brotherhood has been hoodwinked, by Dr. S. J. Meltzer. We 

 don't believe he would or could do either. 



(d) The financial resources of the Medical Brotherhood have 

 consisted, in the main thus far, of liberal appropriations from the 

 Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. It may safely be 

 assumed that the Executive Committee of the Carnegie Endowment 

 believes, with the officers of the Medical Brotherhood, that the most 

 perfect development of international morality would afford the most 

 substantial and enduring basis for international peace. 



{e) The Medical Brotherhood has not attempted, and does not 

 intend, to " meddle with problems wJiich deal with the termination 

 of the present war." But the Brotherhood may be expected to do its 

 utmost (at the earliest opportunity, in facing the problems that will 

 remain, and arise, at the close of the war) to further a spirit of 

 conciliation, and to facilitate the restoration of personal and profes- 

 sional good-will, among the medical men of the countries directly 

 involved in the war. 



(/) " The Medical Brotherhood of this country wishes to gather 

 into its Union those members of the medical profession, and those 

 workers in the medical sciences, who have a vein of idealism in them, 

 and who are willing to serve their country as patriots and humani- 

 tarians. It appeals, further, to the inspired ones to spread this 

 gospel, wherever they find the proper opporttmity, with impres- 

 siveness combined with patience and tolerance." 



We have given Space to the Medical Brotherhood, and will con- 

 tinue to do so, because a number of biochemists are members of the 

 Brotherhood, because all biochemists are invited to affiliate with it, 

 and because biochemists, as workers in medical sciences, are not only 

 personally but also professionally interested directly in the further- 

 ance of international morality and in the maintenance of "good- 

 will amons: men."

Biochemists who have not already affiliated with the Medical 

 Brotherhood, but who may desire to do so, are invited to communi- 

 cate on this subject with the managing editor of the Biochemical 

 Bulletin, who would facilitate attention to all correspondence in 

 this relation.
