DRUGS AND CONFESSIONS
Sir-Even on such a subject as fluoridation, the subject of Communism must be dragged in. Your correspondent "S.H.," in The Listener of July 23, says: "As is also well known, many of the ‘confessions’ in Communist trials are effected by overconcenttration of what are helpful drugs when correttly used." Many things are well known, as, for instance, the story of the Piltdown man, but time and investigation have proved that it was phoney besides being well known. Adolf Hitler repeated lying statements until they became "well known" enough to be looked on asthe truth by many. Perhaps "S.H." will favour your readers with proof of the incorrect use of drugs in Communist trials. My experience has showh ‘that when people like "S.H." are pinned down for proof of statements made, it is "well known" that they usually can’t
produce it.
