Most of the mental detectives are
great breeders, their physical being
developed way in excess of the men
tai This class of individuals is in
creasing faster than the capacity for
their care is increased, with the re-
suits that far too many of them are
left at large, classed as harmless, left
TO propagate, until some sudden out
break jeopardizes the community
and the papers are filed with ac-
counts of their dastardly acts.
No stock breeder would think of
using inferior specimens in his
breeding pens, but Man, the noblest
creation, is given less care in his
propagation than the stock on a
farm. Who would attempt to raise
a garden without destroying the
weeds?
Mr.. Dewitt refers to results of
sterilization in a very few cases of
mental detectives, but does not carry
the idea that they were mental de-
fectives before being operated upon
and that relapses in this line are not
uncommon.
1t is a great mistake to try to
throw a monkey-wrench into the
machinery simply to see the spIin-
tiers fly, and it is all the greater mis-
take when the machinery is working
for the ultimate betterment of man
kind
If it were possible to eliminate
from breeding all gross mental de-
fectives and criminals of the more
depraVed class, together with the eff
fects of alcoholism upon the unborn |
and all damaged goods in general, it
would be hard to estimate the
amount of suffering that could be
saved from poor innocent babes that
have no chance to help themselves.

But the widest sort of speculation
based on a variety of conceptions of
Germany's plans in waging a subma-
rine war on merchant ships were
heard as to the probable response of
the Berlin foreign office. Count Won
BernstOrff, the German ambassador,
declined to discuss the note to Ger
many as he had received no advices
from Berlin concerning it and the
British embassy was also silent. What
excited the most attention in congress
and among diplomats, however, was
the serious tone of the notes even
though qualified by polite terms of
diplomatic usage. While there are no
authorized expressions, it is evident
the neutral diplomats in general gave
both notes their approval because of
the identity of interest of their gov
ernments and of the United States in
the circumstances.
