Harrlman's glgantlo eugenic onlerprlso nt Cold Springs Har bor, Long Island, to ascertain 'what Is tho matter with tho human race.' launched n campaign today for tho ultimata sterilization of 15,000,000 American defectives. Coincident with this nmazlnz statement comes tho announcement of tho plans of the Hugenlc Soclctj, which will have at its disposal tho vnst for tune of Mrs. Harrimnn, liberal financial assistance from John I), Rock efeller nnd Andrew Carnegie, nnd scientific aid from Alexnntlcr (Jraham Hell and one of tho greatest hosts of scientists over Joined In an under taking. Tho organization after Its four years' work In this countrv nml Knrnnn reached tho conclusion that sterilizing defectives was tho groatest work for (horn, Tho commltteo on sterilization, In Its report, Issued today, de mands tho sterilization of 02,400 persons In this country this year. Tho commltteo estlmntes that It will ho essentlnl slmllnrly to treat nn nunlly an Increasing number ns tho population Increases, until, In 1980, 1 1 r , 0 0 0 porsonr. In the Pnltcd States nlono will bo sterilized every year. When that time nrrlvcs there will hnvo developed, the committed be lieve, n practically perfect manhood and womanhood. Statistics gathered reveal tho amazing fact that 10 per cent of the prcsont population of tho United States aro defectlvo. Here, then, is a new field for the iriirantie" philan- thropical" foundations founded by multi-millionaires with money filched from the people to perpetuate plutocracy by control of future general ions. They will dispassion ately "improve" humanity as (ho breeder of fancy slock improves it by elimination of tho weak, by creating a race oi eugenic euiiucns. AVlio is to select the breeding stock? Who will pro nounce the "fit" and flu; "unfit"V "Whv. "scienfists" in the pay of tho "foundafioiiH," of course. They will reg ulafe and better the world and solve fhe labor problem by mutilating mankind until there are some fifteen million eunuchs available. For the improvement of humanity, fhe Spartans had a si ill more effcetiw mcf hod deal roving at birfli chil dren born with physical weakness, IJut Mrs. liarriman would go further and (jimm the children before birth. The- insane asylums and prisons have defectives, which make hoiiip justification for the eugenic theorybut they arc fhe product of social injustice as much as heredity.' The offspring of flic multi-millionaires are about as defective as any other class, and plutocracy might consistently start bettering fhe world by beginning at home. A far more effective way to improve humanity would be to remedy tho conditions that mainly arc to blame for defectives abolish poverty bv establishine- social iustice. The child of the slums will usuallv make a sfromr! vitrnp. ous adult if given the proper food and proper environ ment. The conditions thaf create poverty also creafo the bil lionaire. The philanlhropical foundations arc as much the product of these conditions as the defective. There fore, their business is to tinker with results and protect the source of evil. Philanthropy never bothers with fundamentals if it did it would Jose its occupation. It is concerned wholly with superficial remedies for the product, lest eliminating the cancer that causes the disease destroy ifs own para sitical existence. The philanthropic foundation, when it comes to better ing humanity, is a farce, and threatens to become a dire tragedy. SQUIRREL FOOD BY A4RN UDREAM DOPE" 5AY THAT BALL.
