NISW YORK papers recently contained the i'ollowi
news if em:
Mrs. K. H. 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.
