| Rachel Carson Speaks About Silent Spring |
27:58 : Audiocassette tapes converted to wav files, text transcript |
|
ACa |
|
On December 4th, 1962, the immediate reaction to publication of Silent Spring, in September of that year, was at its height. On that date, Rachel Carson spoke to the National Women's Press Club. on the nature of the response, pro and con, and her experience with this wide publicity. On the 25th anniversary of that event, Rachel Carson Council has reproduced this recording of her talk to recall the mood of that time and to recreate, for those who did not know Rachel Carson, her calm, steady voice, her dauntless attitude, and her quiet humor.
And now, Rachel Carson.
My text this afternoon is taken from the Globe Times of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, a news item in the issue of October 12th. After describing in detail the reactions to Silent Spring of the farm bureaus in two Pennsylvania counties, the reporter continued. No one in either county farm office who was talked to today had read the book, but all disapproved of it heartily.
I think this sums up very neatly the background of some of the noisier comment that has been heard in this unquiet autumn following the publication of Silent Spring. And in the words of an editorial in the Bennington Banner, the anguished reaction to Silent Spring has been to refute statements that were never made.
Early in the summer, as soon as the first installment of the book appeared in the New Yorker, public reaction to Silent Spring was reflected first in a tidal wave of letters. Letters to congressmen, letters to government agencies, to newspapers, and to the author. These letters continue to come, and I am sure that they represent the most important and lasting reaction to the book.
Then, even before the book itself was published, editorials and columns by the scores, and even hundreds, Had discussed it all over the country, reflecting, I am sure, the true importance of the subject, the early reaction in the chemical press was rather moderate, uh, and in fact, I have had and still have fine support from some segments of the chemical press and some segments of the agricultural press, uh, but in general, as was to be expected.
The industry press was not happy. And by late summer, the printing presses of the pesticide industry and their trade associations, uh, had begun to pour out the first of a growing stream of pamphlets and booklets designed to protect and repair the somewhat battered image of pesticides. And plans have been announced for quarterly Uh, mailings to opinion leaders and for monthly statements to press and radio.
Uh, speakers are going out all over the country. So it is clear that we are to receive heavy doses of tranquilizing information designed to lull the public to sleep. Uh, from which it had been so rudely awakened. Now, some definite gains have been made toward a saner policy of pest control in recent months.
And I think the important issue now is whether we are to hold and to extend those gains. Uh, the attack on Silent Spring is now falling into a rather definite pattern. And all the well known devices are being used. Of course, one obvious way to weaken a cause is to discredit the person who champions it.
And so, the masters of invective have been busy. Um, I am a bird lover, a cat lover, a fish lover. I am a priestess of nature, and I am a devotee of some Mystical cult that has to do with, um, laws of the universe, which my critics somehow consider themselves immune to. Um, another well known and much used device is to misrepresent my position and then to attack the things that I've never said.
Now, I don't want to belabor the obvious, because anyone who has really read the book, Knows that I do favor insect control in appropriate situations. That I do not advocate the complete abandonment of chemical control. That I criticize modern chemical control, not because it controls harmful insects, but because it controls them badly and inefficiently.
And because it creates many dangerous side effects in doing so. I criticize the present methods because they are based on a rather low level of scientific thinking. We really are capable of much greater sophistication in our solution of this problem.
Uh, another piece in the pattern of attack, largely ignores Silent Spring and concentrates on what I suppose would be called the soft sell. The soothing reassurances to the public. Some of these acknowledge that my facts are correct, but they say that the incidents I reported all occurred in the past, that these things are well known now and that measures have been taken to prevent their recurrence.
Now, it must be assumed that the people reading these reassurances do not read other things in the newspaper. Because, actually, pesticides have figured rather prominently in the news in recent months. Some of the incidents trivial, some almost humorous, and some quite important. In general, they do not differ greatly from the type of incidents that have occurred over past years in which I reported.
Now, what are some of the ways that pesticides are making use now? Well, let me give you just a few examples. Uh, the New York Post of October 12th reported the seizure by the Food and Drug Administration of more than a quarter of a million pounds of potatoes in the Pacific Northwest. The agents of the Food and Drug Administration had found that they contained about four times the permitted residues of Dieldrin and Aldrin.
Um, a few weeks ago, the Fish and Wildlife Service reported on studies of the eagle in relation to insecticides. I think almost everyone knows that the The bald eagle, our national emblem, is seriously declining in numbers. The service, the Fish and Wildlife Service, has now measured the lethal dose of DDT in the eagle.
It has done this by controlled feeding experiments. What is particularly important is that it has now found that dead eagles found in the wild are carrying the lethal dose or more than the lethal dose of DDT. Other studies on the occurrence of DDT in the eggs and partially developed embryos of eggs that have failed to reach mature development also suggest a factor there in the failure of eagle reproduction.
Uh, this fall also, Canadian papers carried a warning that woodcock being shot by, uh, hunters in New Brunswick were carrying residues of heptachlor and might be dangerous if used as food. Now, woodcock are migratory birds. Those that nest in New Brunswick migrate to the southern United States where heptachlor has been used extensively in the fire ant program.
The residues in the birds were three to three and a half parts per million. The legal tolerance for heptachlor is zero. Now, very recently, biologists in the Massachusetts Fish and Game Department have reported that fish in the Framingham Reservoir, just outside Boston, are carrying residues of DDT as high as 75 parts per million.
This is ten times the legal tolerance. This is, of course, a public water supply for a large number of people. This summer, the newspapers widely reported the story of some 5, 000 Turkish children suffering from an affliction called porphyria, characterized by severe liver damage and by the growth of hair on the face, hands, and arms.
Giving a monkey like appearance to the victims. This was traced to the consumption of seed, which had been treated with a chemical fungicide. Now, of course, the wheat had been intended for planting. It was not meant to be used as food directly. But the people were hungry, and perhaps they did not understand the restriction.
Now this was an accidental occurrence, but it did take place over a long period of time. It occurred in a far part of the world. But it is well to remember that large quantities of seed are similarly treated here. Uh, one other item, um, an Associated Press dispatch of November 16th. A sad little commentary on technology gone wrong.
A federal court jury awarded a New York State farmer 12, 360 as damages for his potato crop. The damage was done by a chemical that was supposed to stop sprouting. Instead, the sprouts grew inward. We're told also that chemicals Are never used unless tests have shown them to be safe. Now this, of course, is not an accurate statement.
I am happy to see that the Department of Agriculture plans to ask the Congress to amend the Federal Insecticide, Rodenticide, and Fungicide Act to do away with the provision that now permits a company to register a chemical under protest, even though a question of health or safety has been raised by the Department.
We have other reminders that unsafe chemicals get into use. County agents, for example, frequently have to amend or rescind earlier advices on the use of pesticides. For example, I saw a letter the other day, recently sent out to farmers, recalling stalks of a chemical that had been used as a cattle spray.
Just in September, there were unexplained losses among cattle following its use. Several suspected lots were recalled, but the loss has continued. And now all outstanding lots of the chemical have had to be recalled. The inaccurate statements in reviews of Silent Spring are a dime a dozen, and I shall only mention one or two examples.
Time, in its discussion of Silent Spring, uh, described accidental poisonings from pesticides as very rare. Well, let's look at a few figures. California, the one state that keeps complete and accurate records, reports from 900 to 1, 000 cases of poisoning from agricultural chemicals per year. About 200 of those are from the chemical parathion alone.
Florida has experienced so many poisonings recently. That the state is now attempting to control and to curtail the use of some of the more dangerous pesticides in residential areas. Um, it's also worthy of notice that during the years 1959, 1960, and 1961, airplane crashes involving crop dusting planes totaled 873.
In these accidents, 135 pilots lost their lives. Uh, this very fact led to some very significant research by the Federal Aviation Agency through its Civil Aeronautic Aeromedical Unit. Uh, this research, which has just been reported on in brief, was designed to find out why so many of these planes crashed.
And these medical investigators took as their basic premise the assumption that spray poisons do accumulate within the body of the pilot, that they accumulate within the cell where they are difficult to detect. Now the report that was recently issued contained very, two very significant facts, which the researchers had confirmed.
One, that there is a causal relation. between the buildup of toxins in the cell and the onset of sugar diabetes. Two, that the buildup of poisons within the cell interferes with the rate of energy production in the human body. I, of course, am happy to have this confirmation that cellular processes are not so irrelevant as a certain scientific reviewer of Silent Spring has declared them to be.
And this same reviewer, writing in a chemical journal, was much annoyed with me for giving the sources of my information. Uh, to identify the person whose views you are quoting is, according to this reviewer, Name dropping.
Well, Times have certainly changed since I received my training in scientific methods at Johns Hopkins. Um, My critic also disapproved profoundly of my bibliography. The very fact that it gave complete and specific references for each important statement was extremely distasteful to him. This was padding, he said, to impress the uninitiated with its length.
Now I would just like to say that in Silent Spring I have never asked the reader to take my word. I have given him a very clear indication of my sources. I make it possible, indeed I urge him, to go beyond what I report. to get the full picture. And this is the reason for the 55 pages of references. You can't do this if you're trying to conceal or distort or present half truths.
Another reviewer was offended because I made the statement that it's customary for pesticide manufacturers to support research on chemicals in the universities. Now, this is just common knowledge. And I can scarcely believe that the reviewer was unaware of it because his own university is among those receiving such grants.
But since my statement has been challenged, I suggest that any of you who are interested, make a few inquiries from representative universities. And I am sure you will find that the practice is very widespread. Uh, in fact, a visit to any good science library will provide the evidence. Because it is customary in technical papers for the authors to acknowledge the source of their funds.
Just, uh, an example or two gleaned at random from the Journal of Economic Entomology. A paper from the University of Wisconsin carries the note. This research was also supported in part by grants from the Shell Chemical Company. Belsicol Chemical Corporation and Wisconsin Canners Association. Another paper from the Illinois Natural History Survey declares this investigation was sponsored by the Monsanto Chemical Company of St.
Louis, Missouri. A penetrating observer of social problems has pointed out recently that whereas wealthy families once were the chief benefactors of the universities, Now, industry has taken over this role. Now, of course, supportive education is something no one quarrels with, but this need not blind us to the fact that research supported by the pesticide manufacturers is not likely to be directed at discovering facts unfavorable to the continuance of current practices.
Such a liaison between science and industry is a growing phenomenon which is seen in other areas as well. For example, the American Medical Association, through its newspaper, has just referred physicians to a pesticide trade association for information to help them answer patients questions about the effects of pesticides on man.
Now, I am sure physicians have a need for greater information on this subject. But I would like to see them referred to authoritative scientific or medical literature and not to a trade organization whose interest it is to promote the sale of pesticides. We see scientific societies acknowledge, uh, acknowledging as sustaining associates a dozen or more giants of a related industry.
Now when the scientific organization speaks, Whose voice do we hear? The voice of science, or the voice of industry? It might be a less serious situation if this were clarified, for I think the public assumes it is hearing the voice of science. And what does it mean when we see a committee set up to make a supposedly impartial review of a situation, and then discover that the committee is affiliated with the very industry whose profits are at stake?
I have just this week read two reviews of the recent reports of a National Academy of Sciences committee on the relations of pesticides to wildlife. These comments, these reviews on these reports raise rather disturbing questions. It's important to understand what, just what this committee is. The, uh, two sections of its report that have now been published are frequently cited by the pesticide industry in attempts to refute my statements.
Uh, the public, I believe, assumes that the committee is actually part of the academy. It is appointed by the Academy, but its members come from outside. Some, of course, are scientists of distinction in their fields. But one would suppose that the way to get an impartial evaluation of such a problem, the impact of pesticides on wildlife, would be to set up a committee completely, a committee of completely disinterested individuals.
Now the review that appears this week in the Atlantic Naturalist describes the composition of this committee as follows. A very significant role in this committee is played by the liaison representatives. These are of three categories. A. Supporting agencies. B. Government agencies. C. Scientific societies.
The supporting agencies are presumably those who supply the hard cash. Forty three such agencies are listed. including 19 chemical companies comprising the mass might of chemical industry. In addition, there are at least four trade organizations, such as the National Agricultural Chemical Association and the National Aviation Trades Association.
The committee reports begin with a firm statement in support of the use of chemical pesticides. From this predetermined position, It is not surprising to find it mentioning only some damage to some species of wildlife. And since in what appears to be the modern manner there is no documentation, one can neither confirm nor deny these findings.
The Atlantic Naturalist reviewer described these reports as, quotes, written in the style of a trained public relations official of industry. Out to placate some segments of the public that were causing trouble. End quote. All these things raise the question of the communication of scientific knowledge to the public.
Is industry becoming a screen through which facts must be filtered, so that the hard, uncomfortable truths are kept back, and only the harmless morsels are allowed to filter through? I know that many thoughtful scientists are deeply disturbed. that their organizations are becoming fronts for industry.
More than one scientist has raised the question of whether a spirit of Lysenkoism may be developing in America today. The philosophy that perverted and destroyed the science of genetics in Russia and even infiltrated all of that nation's agricultural sciences. But here, the tailoring, the screening of basic truth, is done not to suit any party line, but to accommodate to the short term gain to serve the gods of profit and production.
These are matters of the most serious importance to society, and I commend their study to you as professionals in the field of communication. Thank you. In
1974, Shirley Briggs, Executive Director of the Rachel Carson Council, commented on the significance of Ms. Carson's book. Comments still relevant today. Ms. Briggs. I think perhaps the most useful thing about trying to imagine what Rachel would think of conditioners today is that this means we have to try to put ourselves into her frame of mind.
and try to understand the quality of her perception. Uh, she looked at the world and her fellow men with a very level penetrating gaze. She would not have expected that entrenched habits and vested interest would have been routed within this decade, no matter how urgent the need. Recent events show that the course is certainly not to be steady.
And our adversaries are very adept at seizing upon any national crisis to panic officials and the public into retreating from the small but essential advances that we have achieved. We never thought this would be a short term, uh, matter, but the odds sometimes seem to build up against us with each small victory we make as everyone else overreacts.
Rachel's genius lay in perceiving the place of all creatures and habitats in our Earth and in fitting them into the great designs and patterns of life. She viewed the range of human thought in the same way. Many people immersed in their own disciplines had seen glimpses of the perils that we had been bringing upon ourselves, but she was one of the few who pieced together the evidence from medicine, from Science from agriculture and industry and other fields of human endeavor and, uh, made a fairly unified picture.
In this way, she showed each segment the problems that face us all, the goals that we must join together to reach, and the best possible route. As new evidence has come to light and as new forums have developed, we have moved from watching the advanced indicators of trouble. which was what happened in the early days when we saw what was happening through, largely through studies of wildlife.
Um, now we're finding a lot more solid substance, I think, in our research, with the kind of evidence that is convincing in a court of law or, we hope, to Congress. We have been slower to recognize effects on human beings than we were to recognize them on animals, I think just in the nature of the research required.
But we do now, I think, have enough to awaken public understanding of the, uh, really vital problems we face. We can also see more clearly the large implications of pesticide effects on our whole economy, on basic agricultural practices, and upon industry. Studies are beginning to show the full effect on, on whole communities of such misuses we have discussed today.
Rachel Carson detected the nature of the problem accurately, as one can define the arc of a circle by knowing only three points. Since her warning, we've been able to fill in much of the rest of the circle with corroborating facts, but the size and the curve are exactly as she predicted. It now remains for us to impress the scope of her vision firmly in the public mind.
And to go on defining the further arcs as the knowledge reaches us |
