National Bank of Commerce
of New York Discusses
This Vital Question

Something more than constitutions
al law and the mandates Of the
courts will be necessary to meet the
social and economic conditions the
world is facing, the National Bank of
Commerce in New York asserts in its
publication, Commerce Monthly, for
October under the heading as. Pri-
vate Property Secure?" Social eX-
pediency and social welfare, it says
are the tests demanded for preseA
conditions of living and are the log
ical solution of the problems present
ed by the growing assaults on private
property, free enterprise and compe-
%tition, which the bank declares, are
the three great fundamentals on
which the present order of society
rests. The article says:
eve can no longer expect to de-
fend the fundamentals of our present
social order by obstinately Standing
pat on constitutional law. 1t is no
satisfactory answer to the social rad
ical to say that our institutions are
grounded in court decisions. Men are
no longer willing to settle social and
economic issues on such grourl~
The test now being urged is that Of
social cxpediency and social wei
fare"
After reviewing the assaults made
upon private property, free enter
prise and competition by the various
cults of social radicals, the article
proceeds:
"a wise social policy in the future,
aimed at the abolition of poverty, will
seek both to restrict the numbers Of
the population, and to prevent the
further breeding of those clements
of the population which are by birth
condemned to inferiority. 1t will also
lay heavy emphasis on efficiency in
production.

London. March 21.-Race suicide, as
the result of the "ailstocracy Of la

Neither voluntary restriction OF

But at home we must face the
fact that the upper and middle classes

From the eugenic point Of view
this will be an advantage. but since
the cheap races must end by cap
