New York City, Feb. 13.—Science
has failed to establish the superiority
of any one race over the others, and
the advisability of m ingling races is
also a moot question. Glenn Frank,
editor of Century Magazine, declared
W ednesday in an address on "Race,
Religion and Radicalism " before the
League for Political Education at
Town Hall.
“T here is no question,” he said, “that
there is inequality am ong individuals.
The fram ers of the Federal C onstitu
tion, most of whom were slave owners,
could not have believed in the literal
tru th of their doctrine of all men being
equal. W hat they really m eant was
that they them selves and their kind
were the equal of George the Third.
But as to which races are superior,
biological research has as yet proved
nothing.
“ Even if science should prove that
some races are superior, there are al
ways certain superior individuals in all
races who will resent oppression and
lead the world into a succession of
blcxwV wars. Let the superior A m eri
cans not make comm on cause -vith the
dolts of their own race, but rather join
with the elite of other races to s’amp
out present-day evils. T here m ust be
proach to the solution of the race
both a spiritual and a scientific ap-
problem ."
