President Roosevelt on Race Suicide %
tFrom a letter by the President in The
Review Of Reviewsl
There are countries which. and people
In all countries who, need to be warned
against a rabbit-like Indifference to con-
sequence in raising families. The orli-
nary American, whether Of the old native
or the self-respecting son or daughter Of
immigrants. needs no such warning. He
or she needs to have impressed upon his
OIL her mind the vital lesson that all
schemes about having doctors in public
schools about kindergartens, civic asso-
Citations women's clubs, and training
families up in this way or that are pre-
posterous nonsense II there are to be no
families to train: and that II Is a simple
mathematical proposition that. where the
average family that has children at all
has only three, the race at once dimi-
nishes in numbers. and II the tendency
Is not checked viii vanish completely
IN other words, there will be race suicide.
Not only the healthiest but the highest
relations In life are those Of the man and
the woman united on a basis OF full and
mutually respecting partnership and vise
companionship in loving and permanent
wedlock. II. through no fault Of theirs
they have children sufficient in number
TO mean that the race goes forward ana
not back. II they refuse to bring them IN
healthy in body and mind, then they are
criminals.

AustralIa,s Dislike Of the Japanese

San Francisco's prejudice against the
japanese is no stronger than that Of
British Columbia and Australia. Indeed,
Australia has gone beyond any other
Caucasian country in the sharpness Of
its exclusion Of Asiatics. It will not even
permit them 10 enter colonial waters as
members OF the crews OF ships when this
can be prevented and the Australian
government has actually compelled sew
eral steamship companies to dispense
with the cheap and efficient services Of
Lascar sailors and firemen who are Brit
ish subjects. This British colonial hatred
Of the yellow races, including the Japan
csc, will some day put a severe strain
upon the Anglo-Japanese alliance.-lBos-

The cards are Of different colors 70 indi-

The cards used are OF medium size. and
