MENTAL TESTS
FOR
STATESMEN ADVOCATED
AS AID TOWARDS AVOIDING INTERNATIONAL CONFLICTS
London, Aug. 16.-Mental tests for statesmen engaged in the conduct of international negotiations affecting world peace were advocated by 24 of the world's leading mental scientists in a report pub- lished here today.
The document is the work of a group of Ameri- can and other scientists from 10 different countries. They explain their belief that work education in the mysteries of the human mind in the study of human development and in psychiatry can help to remove prejudices, excessive nationalism and mis- understandings which lead the nations into repeated
wars.
The two most important recom- mendations of the report prepared by the International Congress on Medi- cat fenith for submission to the United Nations and other national and international organisations are that governments should
employ 50-
clal subjects and paychiatrists as advisers to ald those responsible for decisions in human affairs, and that national and international govern- mental organisations subject civil servants to mental examination.
Claiming that world citizenship en widely be extended among all peo- ples through the applications of the principles of mental health, the re- port urged that any plans for a change in international relations are to mucceed, psychiatrists and social scientists must work In co-
