WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT HEREDITY,
WHICH is NOTHING

WHICH ID NJ HIM.
Practically nothing is known concerning the
mechanism or the heredity Of mental and
moral traits 1t seems that certain talents
run in certain families Tor example unusual
mathematical ability, musical ability and talent
for drawing. All known facts indicate that
they are not limited to special races. but that
they are the pecuarities of certain strains or
families, independently of race.
We do not even know to what extent the
development OF mental and moral traits de-
ponds upon the condition OF the brain and the
nervous system alone and to what extent
upon the action Of chemical substances pro-
duced in other organs of the body in the form
Of internal sccretions. Until this is settled
all positive statements concerning the heredity
OF mental and moral traits remain unwar-
ranted. 1t is an open question whether with
equal facilities and equal care the children OF
different races would show widely different
mental and moral development; provided that
the number OF children chosen for comparison
were large enough to eliminate the chance in
fuencc of differences in specific talents occur
ring in certain families.

NOT MEAN DEGENERACY.
The statement expressed so often that inter
marriage or mixture OF races leads neces-
sarily to degeneracy is unwarranted and
contradicted to some extent at least by recent
Investigations The experiments Of Burbank,
East and Shull have proved that heterozy
costly, or race mixture, may improve the
breed. When we cross two breeds OF fishes
we get in some cases an offspring which is
much harder than either OF the parent races.
1t would be wrong to say that in each case
the result OF mixture Of races is better than
the pure breed. But the fact that in number
of cases the mixture yields results that are
superior 10 both parent breeds is enough to
show the unsoundness of the sweeping state
ment that the intermixing OF races should be
considered felony Laws on these topics
should rest on careful experiments and not on
fanatic sentiments.
What is the basis of the prejudice against
the Japanese on our Pacific Coast2 | OBJ
served the rise of this prejudice, and, so far
| know, it originated in the desire OF the labor
unions to improve their economic condition
laudable motive in itself-by shutting out
the competition OF Japanese workers. The
unions tried to shut out white competition
from the East by advertising the statement
that there was no work on the Coast.
Against the Japanese they could make
use Of the weapon OF race prejudice. To avow
an economic motive would not have served
the purpose 1t was stated that the Japanese
were an inferior people, dishonest in business
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-05-09

Modern work on heredity has shown that
hereditary characters are, as rule, not linked
but are transmitted independently OF each
other 1t is, therefore, contrary to all known
facts to say that with pgmented skin or
with a certain type OF eyes must necessarily be
connected lower degree OF intelligence or
moral control.

and immoral in sex relations. It was said that
no Japanese bank ever employed Japanese
teller. AS a matter Of fact, dishonesty is no
peculiar trait of the Japanese and the sex
morality Of these people is probably not lower
than that Of many whites
This was clear case OF the artificial crea'
ton OF race prejudice; it started FIRST for
economic reasons and was supported then by
all those arguments of inferiority that are
always found useful in the attempt to dis
credit whole group. There was no biological
basis for the agitation that was worked up 10
result in a most intense race antagonism.
What Of the relations between whites and
blacks in the South? Is the race antagonism
found in the South based on an inherited in
stinct? If So it is strange that black women
arc employed as nurses in white homes and
that there is and long has been very con-
siderable intimacy between the races. This
does not harmonic with the assumption OF
instructive antag onism. The attitude Of the
white toward the negro is more one OF social
superciliousnesS, based, OF course, on the as
sumption on the part Of the whites that the
blacks are an inferior race. The Southefner
in his heart has no more racial aversion tow
ard the negro than the socially prominent
families of New York have toward the whites
Of lower" social stratum. In several
British colonies particularly Jamaica, we see
whites and blacks living together in an aHiy
which is scarcely troubled even by social DIS
tnctions 1t is apparent there is no biological
cause of discord between the two races.
ROMANTICISTS CREATE MASS IN
SANITY OUT OF RACE ANTAGONIST.
AS soon as race antagonsm has taken
foothold for economic or other reasons, the
romanticsts enter the arena. BY romanticists
we mean the writers who appeal to the emo
tons without having much regard for the
truth To this group belong men like Tret-
schke, Duehring and Chamberlain III Ger
many; Kipling the Chestertons and others IN
England. We probably have them IN this
country too Such men use their literary gifts
TO arouse the emotions OF their fellow beings
against race or social group with the result
that the purely economic and social origin OF
the race or group antagoniSm is soon Tor
gotten; and it appears if we were dealing
with an instructive inherited antagonism.
1t has been the role of romantlcis's IN
history to create mass insanity. The tefVoE
Of the crusaders and OF the masses in the pres
ent war arc examples OF insanity created by
the romanticists. These romantic writers en-
slave the human organism through theH
catch phrases and SO prepare it that at inc
time convenient the ruling powers can utilize
it for their purposes.
1t is our duty to avoid the incubation OF
falsehood, to stand for racial justice. and 10
recognize the common fellowship OF inc
human family. If all acted on this principle
war would be impossible Race prejudice is
menace to world peace; let us hight ina.
menace on the basis OF scientific truth ana
reason.
