Another evidence in the United States that
cultural limitation has been or is rapidly being
reached is found in the abundance of geniuses.
The genuses are appearing in every field OF
human activity The genius is superman,
but the superman is one who is ending his
family lineage in a blaze of glory.
nation struggles first for economic posi-
ton. 1t then blossoms in the humanities and
sciences. Then it declines.
The birth rate of any country is water
gauge indicating what is in the boiler Of that
country.
Prussia attained horescence and began the
long downhill march at the beginning of the
present century. The Kaiser recognizes this
and is trying to combat it. He has offered to
become godfather to the eighth male child OF
a family. Thus he hopes to encourage pro-
creation and so retard the decline of the race.
But this he cannot do. Human laws must
bow to natural laws. There is no way to check
the retrogresson OF race once it has actually
set in.
France attained the cultural limitation, prob
ably during the illustrious reign Of the later
Louises. France is very strongly on the de-
cline as a world race. The birth rate is actu-
ally below the death rate
England has begun dying in the centre, her
colonies retaining their virility. The process
of this operation is identical to the action of
the ringworm in its movement Death begins
at the centre and slowly works outward in
ever widening rings The distant colonies may
be expected to persist until they die the natural
race death.
The logical end OF culture, then. is the elm
nation of the race, whether the process be
noted in plants, in animals or in man. The
Wilson strawberry and the peach-blow potato
have disappeared The Newfoundland dog has
vanished. We tried to bring back the Morgan
horse, but without success. Ancient Greece,
Rome, Egypt and Peru reached cultural limita-
tons and declined, running out of protoplasmic
energy. They never can be restored. The
extinction of our American race will follow
in direct line with these extinctions, only with
US it will be swifter, as l have said because
OF the conglomeratc crossing of the species

which the people represent hybrids between
species, as in Mexico for instance. Varietal
hybrid groups are capable Of high degree
of mass action for public welfare, but among
specific hybrid groups, on the other hand, in
dividuals OF the highest degree OF education

vidually and wastefully in opposition to each
other.
The destructive influence Of warfare, as /
have pointed out already, is less rapid than
the destructive influence Of peace. Peace is
more thoroughly destructive than war because
after destructive warfare vital elements rep
resenting the strongest masculine types are
brought together for rebuilding the injured ma
ton or for constructing a new nation.
Jesus entered voluntarily into warfare. II
was when He found the money changers in
the temple. There always will be money
changers in the temple. Wars of the future
will presumably be more terrible than any
wars Of the past because OF the vast aggrega-
tons of capital that will become available for
the purposes OF the soldier specialist, when
he finds emotions aroused to the point at
which he is enabled to step in and hypnotic
