THE AGE. FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1955 U.S. PSYCHIATRISTS WARNING Books scientific proof that child delinquency, Connell, of Sydney would get a terrible Frederic Wertham, published book Innocent," if he thing like that. with an awl. One picture is filled by a dreadful muttlated face.

Half-naked women are tied up, whipped and tortured. Others have their faces ground under spiked boots. Depravity and rape is commonplace. Perversion is blatantly suggested, Comics of this kind, some of which can still be Australia, bought circulate secondhand in America by the million. Sixty million comics are published a month there, most of which circulate among at least five children.

Wertham has found that three hours of comic reading day is commonplace: Moreover, children read with such avidity that you may shout at them and they will not hear. They are utterly wrapped up, entranced, hypnotised. Not all comics are equally bad, says Dr. Wertham. A fair proportion of them for instance By ALAN NICHOLLS.

-are at least outwardly respectable, though they may express Ideas which could pave the way to a brutal dictatorship. DRAWING on seven years of clinical research, Dr. Wertham has these remarks to make on the effect of comic books on children: "I have found the effect of comic books to anti-educational. be first all They interfere with education in the larger sense. For a child, education is not merely 8 question learning, but is a part of mental health.

"To take large chunks of time out of a child's life time during which he is not positively, that is, educationally, occupied means to interfere with his healthful mental growth." And again: "The most subtle and pervading elfect of crime comics on children can be marised In single phrase moral disarmament. "I have studied this in children who do not mit overt acts of delinquency, who do not show any of the more con- Comic Disarmament THERE is no comics cause said Dr. F. W. University, this week.

Dr. Connell drubbing from Dr. author of the newly "Seduction of the heard him say a DR. Wertham is a leading American psychiatrist, who has been director of some of biggest clinics in the country, and has worked closely with the children's courts. For the past seven years he has constant study of comic books and their effect on children.

Not only would he sharply disagree with Sydney's Dr. Connell. He would class him among the "Innocent, but tragically misinformed" people, who are not lifting a linger to prevent seduction of the children of the Western world. He claims that comics not only, are major cause child delinquency, but are debasing the minds of a whole new generation. He claims that they are producing mass illiteracy, filing children's minds with dreadful images of brutality, murder and immorality, exciting race hatreds and producing fertile ground to be tilled by an American Hitler.

Dr. Wertham is dealing with American comics, of course, and optimistic Australians might feel that his book does not 4p- ply here, since various State laws have been passed to supervise the comics' industry. But there are no grounds for complacency here. According to Dr. Wertham, there are almost no good comics.

And, in any case, some that he condemns most roundly are still circulating here freely. READERS of "Seduction of the Innocent" will turn Arst. to the reproductions of comic pictures in the centre of the book. will not have it that my friends and I are unduly tender-minded, but I have not shown these pictures to anyone who has not instantly reacted with shocked horror.

"The more subtle this influence is, the more detrimental it may be. "It consists chiefly in a blunting of the Aner feelings of conscience, of mercy, of sympathy for other suffering and of respect for women as women and not merely as sex objects to be bandied around or as luxury prizes to be fought over.

"Crime comics are such highly flavored fare that they affect children's taste for the Aner influences of education, for art, for literature, and for the decent and constructive relationships between human beings and. especially between the sexes." And atmosphere of crime comic books Is unparalleled in the children's literature of any time or any nation. It a The distillation world" of the comic book is the world of the strong, the ruthless, the bluffer, the shrewd deceiver, the torturer and the thief. "All the emphasis is on exploits where somebody takes advantage of somebody else, violently, sexually or threateningly. It is no braves more and the world but of sqaws, punks and molls.

"Force and violence in any conceivable form are romanticised. Constructive and creative forces in children are chanelled into destructive avenues. Trust loyalty, confidence, solidarIty, sympathy. charity, compassion are ridiculed. Hostility and hate set the pace of almost every story, "A natural scientist who had looked over some comic books said this to be ter ly, 'In comic books life worth nothing; there is no News of the Day sweetness and light when Legislative Asm bly members met yesterday morning to preside over the obsequies of Victoria's 39th Parliament.

RISKS OF CREEPING INFLATION quarter THOUGH the relatively cost-of-living small--less rise in the than March one per cent. in Victoria- -the fact that the movement is upward contains its own lesson. it the automatic basic-wage adjustments discarded by the Arbitration Court in late 1953 were still being made, the effect would have been a average rise in the six capitals, Becatise Victoria legislated to retain the system for workers under State awards, the wages bill of industry for about half a million people in this State will be increased.

The stabilising effects of the court's decision, apparent during most of 1954, is thus still liable to impairment by disparate State policy. Apart from this, other and more potent influences on the levels of wages, costs and prices are about to be exerted. It seems inevitable that upward pressures will be induced by the crop of higher margins under awards already made, and those about to be made. While the entitlement of skilled groups to adequate wage differentials is generally recognised and rulings in important cases have been long delayed, there is no gainsaying that the larger disbursements of industry will increase the inflationary pressures already in evidence. A substantial addition to purchasing power will be injected into an economy already stretched and strained by acute shortages of labor, capital strinand scarcities of some essential materials.

Large scale developmental projects make claims trans- on port resources. and some Every migrant addition requires private housing, and' public equipment. There is an interval before newcomers are established as additions to the work force, Or producers of goods and services. High internal spendings for consumption leave insumcient margins for savings and investment. The trend 1s seen in the rapid growth of hirepurchase commitments, import restrictions, competition for investment funds and more selective lending by banks, following the prolonged drain on overseas reserves, with hardly any sign of their replenishment in the near future.

The correctives that are so often proclaimed have is often been unheeded. Service and work for the full 40 hours In normal greater man-hour and man-year productivity, giving more value for wage packets and other payments, are all familiar prescriptions, but over large areas the "medicine" has still to be taken. To produce more requires also managerial efficiency, adequate horse power for each worker, modern plant and processes. Wider application of incentives would help to lower unit costs. The Lincoln methods may be hard to reproduce in many felds, but there seems no sound reason- given good will and the co-operative spirit--why comparable systems would not prove effective in important sectors.

When substantial increases of workers' earnings can go with lower prices of finished articles, the techniques deserve close study. The onset of marginal rises makes this a good time to look again at incentive systems, with a view to their wider adoption on a basis of friendly understanding between employers and wage earners. OUR MANUFACTURING WEALTH ON SHOW evidence were needed of Australia's is provided swift and by strong growth to nationhood it Tr the Australian Industries Fair opened last night by the Governor (Sir Dallas Brooks). As the first exposition of its kind It is a refreshing event in in the Ille of the community. Its value lies Its attestation of a solid record and its inspiration for the future.

The fair is a national occasion. It shows clearly that our manufacturing industries have passed through their teething stage and are now in a position to look confidently towards the new delds which they must conquer. The fair should give confidence to overseas buyers for whom it offers a "shop window." On them much of the future growth of our secondary Industries depends. We can no longer look to local markets to absorb our goods. As the president of T.

Vine) has pointed out, Industry the Victorian chamber of Manufactures, (Mr. 8. must interest overseas buyers if it is to survive. With some 85 million worth of products on show, in wide range from capital -equipment to consumer goods, pride is justified. They represent the fruits industrial expansion encouraged under continuing policy of protective tariffs.

From the steady growth of the early part of the century there has grown an immense manufacturing ability which has outstripped all expectatons in recent years. Under beneficent programme of tariffs Australian factories have grown from 26,941 with 565,106 employes in 1939 to some 50,000 today employing more thin a million men and women. The need for protection is clear for the stability and further expansion of existing industries. It is essential in the face of high and growing industrialisation elsewhere in the world. It new industries are to be promoted and overseas investments encouraged, sound tariff programme must be maintained.

But there can be no case for tariffs 36 a means of bolstering inethelent or unnecessary industries. Their whole purpose must be the development of sound Industries on which national and independence can be founded. The Australian Industries Fair gives a clear guarantee of the wisdom of a protective policy adapted to meet national needs demands of an increasing population. It also points to security for the future if the opportunity is taken to add to the successes already won. OBITUARY Mr.
