WHITE SUPREMACY
Vital to the Nation, Says an En-
irlent German Visitor.
There Can Be No Equality of the
Races, and the Negro Question
Will Give Us Trouble.

Supremacy Of the white race
must be maintained. Otherwise the
American Republic will go on the
rocks.
This opinion was expressed by DR..
H. Schauinslald, cne of the most en-
inent German scientists who is now
making a tour of this country. He
is in Washington making a study OF
the scientific departments of the
Government. on which he will AXE
report to his government when he
shall return to his home in Bremen.
'It is my belief" continued DR..
Schauinsland, that much trouble is
in store for your people in the hand
ling Of the negro question. Equality
of the races Goes not exist, except in
theory. You may as we'll understand
now that the Anglo-Saxon and Ethi-
opian will not work in common. Their
differences in constitution, in Gus
toms, in habits. in education---and
merely in color---nake them substan-
TALLY incompatible. In the whole
history of the world there is no in
stance of the domination of the su-
perior, by an inferior race. | use
the term superior and inferior ad-
visedly, but in no offensive way. The
time will come when a definite line
of demarcat.on will be drawn be-
tween the white and black races in
America. 1t is possible, although
not certain, that before that line is
drawn it will be necessary for the
whites to demonstrate their physi-
cal, as well sIs their mental, super
iority. To my mind, this is a prob
lem pregnant with serious posibili-
ties for Americans. In the end, OF
course, the result will be the triumph
Of the white race. The blacks nee
essarily will have to take subordi-
nate position. That will be as it
should be and will make for the best
in all respects and for all peoples.
Il have been most impressed in
this country by your marvellous edu-
cational facilities. They have q
wealth of material to work upon and
abundant wealth to promote your in
mitu tions, to carry on your expert
stents and to make original investi-
cations. Already America, in some
respects, has surpassed Europe and
now we are forced to come to you
for new great works Of original re
search. The scientific, literary and
Industrial successes achieved by Am
erica are forming a new class in this
country--a class Of brains---from
which nothing but good can come to
all the world.
Zone thing l hesitate to speak
frankly lest may be misunderstood.
l fear many Of your newspapers are
giving too much to the publication
of sensational matters--matters that
appeal rather to the emotions thu a
to the reasoning power of readers.
In America, the newspapers are more
widely read than in other country on
the globe. They are, therefore, the
most powerful educators. In making
as they do of murders, elopments and
all sorts Of purely sensational sub
jects Of no permanent value they not
only are adding nothing to the total
Of human knowledge, but are, in
fact, detracting from the moral pow
er of the press.
DR.. Schauinslaud, who is accomp-
anied by his daughter. is making a
tour Of the world in the interest of
the German Government, as well as
of the great educational Institution
in Bremen, of which ne is the direc-
tor.
