STORY: International Co-operation by Rockefeller Foundation

Story title: International Co-operation
by Rockefeller Foundation

   Whether we wish it or not, even in war we help our enemies, proving
that we are, despite our antagonism, one big, though sometimes unhappy,
family.
   An American soldier wounded by the Japanese owes his life to the
Japanese scientist Kitasato, who islolated the germ of tetanus. A Russian
soldier is saved by a blood transusion, which came to him from Landsteiner,
an Austrian. A German soldier is shielded from typhoid with the help of the
Russian, Metchnikoff. A Dutch marine in the East Indies is protected from
malaria because of experiment by an Italian called Grassi. A British flier
in North Africa escapes death from surgical infection because of a
Frenchman, Pasteur, and a German called Koch and their work with bacteria.
    Need knows no language or language barriers.
    Or as someone put it: "We are all brothers under the skin."
