Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - September 10, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news these Days ivo1-80-no-2,3mt. Pleasant Iowa wednesday evening sept. To 1958 by George e. Sokolsky science and travel scientists like to hold congresses where Learned men of their particular discipline As they Call it meet to read and listen to papers to hold seminars on particular phases of whatever it is that they Are studying and to have their kind of a Good time which general is to talk shop and to see what is happening in the Trade. Such congresses and conferences Are held in different parts of the world which also give the scientists an Opportunity to travel. Some take their wives along and it makes a pleasant trip. The meetings Are of considerable importance because at them Are read Learned papers which Are afterwards published i n Learned quarterlies and which often present new data new discoveries. New developments of value. The tenth International Congress of genetics met at Montreal in August and the russians did not come. In fact Iron curtain geneticists did not come. So whatever developments have occurred within the soviet Universal state were not made known to the world on this occasion. Of genetics is a science which deals with the biologic problem of heredity and at this particular moment is important because it is necessary to have information carefully checked on the effects of the Hydrogen bomb fall out upon heredity in Man and beast and even in the plants that grow in soil such information becomes available very slowly because heredity is a slow process. Mutations Are not always recognized and even if recognized what can be done about it one of the arguments against testing new bombs is that we increase the Quantity of radioactive strontium in the atmosphere and that we Are reaching a dangerous Point at which the fall out will affect the heredity in Man recently the danish government refused to permit an american atomic submarine. A the skate Quot in their country because they feared that if an Accident occurred the Danes would become sterile. Apparently the danish scientists had read the w Long reports. Too but tile fact is that the Ordinary citizen who does not know the difference Between strontium and plutonium and Ivory soap wonders what All this is about and he does get fearful that he might produce a two headed child or a calf with an eve on his forehead As a result of All this. Therefore a Congress of geneticists now is very important and is in the news. But the russians did not come and they read no papers. The russians have their own Brand of genetics which is very different from what is accepted As Correct in the Western world they adhere More or less to a system evolved by Michurina and advocated by a Stalin favored agriculture it list Lysenko. This is supposed to be marxian genetics although there is no evidence in his writings that Marx knew anything about genetics however it is very bad politics for the communists to recognize that there Are any inherited characteristics because that might Lead to a conclusion As to the superiority of one kind of Man Over another so they believe that the j Matrol of All characteristics is environmental. Change the environment and you change the Flora and Fauna including Man who according to their ideas is just another mammal. Presumably rather than get into a dialectical argument Over this question in the course of which someone might ask what Karl Marx knew about it anyhow the communist scientists were told to stay Home. The geneticists passed a Resolution making it Clear that they regard politics in science a scholarly. The scientists said we consider any attempt on the part of governments to interfere on political ideological or other grounds with the free Pursuit of science and free dissemination of scientific information As a serious violation of the Basic principles of research. We Appeal to the Learned academies and scientific societies of All countries and to the United nations and its organizations to exert All possible influence to persuade All governments to adhere to the principles outlined Here. Their violation will no doubt spell the end of scientific Freedom and therefore also of scientific Progress a of course they ask too much. A scientist can be a spy the agent of a foreign government a Blabbermouth or some other kind of undesirable some must be kept Home for their own safety.
