The. World of Color. .


THE @mannwho,~ on a quiet spring
evening of the year 1914 open
ed his atlas to political map
OF the world and pored over it's many
tinted patterns probably got one fun
damen .isnpr essio H. oh Q -oy erwhelm-
ing pTeponderance of the white race
in the ordering Of the worlds affairs
Two whole continents, North Amer
lea and Australia, had been made vir-
tually as white in blood as the Euro
pean motherland; two other conti-
nents, South America and Africa had
seen its empty northern march, ST.
IBERIA, pre-empted for the white man S
abode. ...,. .....
RACIAL MAP SHOWS PERIL.
Reside the enormous area Of white
settlement or control, the regions
under non white goverance--bulked
small indeed. In eastern Asia Chin a,
Japan and SIAM in western Asia,
Turkey, SAfganistan and Persia; in
Africa, Abyssinia and Liberia, and in
America, the minute state of Halt; ;
such was the brief list of lands under
non-white rule" '.'-,
or the $4,000, 900 square miles which
(excluding the Polar regions consti-
tute the land area of the globe, only
5000, 900 square miles had none-white
governments, and nearly two-thirds
of this relatively modest remainder
was represented by China and its de-
tendencies. f.
study of the political map might
thus apparently lead one to conclude
that white world -pfedominance is im-
mutable, since the wars ordeal has
atll further broadened the territorial
basis of its authority. .iE" - J
When we turn from the political
to the racial map of the globe. what
q trans sforma tion we see! Ipstead Of
world politically nine-tenths white.
we see a world of which only four
tenths at the most can be considered
predominantly white in blood. the
rest of the. world being inhabited
mainly by yellows, browns, blacks
and reds e.
WHITES FEWER ny TO I.
The statistical disproportion be-
tween the white and colored worlds
becomes still. more marked. when we
turn from surveys OF area to tables
of population. The total number of
human beings alive today is about
1.I0o.0 100000. or these. 500, 900. 900
are white, while l,150,000,0o 900 are col
ored. .' =
The colored races thus outnumber
the whites more than two to one.
Another fact of capital Importance
is that the great bulk of the white
race is concentrated in the European
continent. ''..1
As to the 1,15O, 900 900 OF the colored
world, they are divided into four pr
mary categories: Yellows, browns,
blacks, and red. The yellows are the
most numerous OF the colored races,
numbering over 500. 100000. Thcir
habitat In Eastern Asia. ..s
Nearly as numerous and much more
widespread than the yellows. are the
browns, numbering some $1,000 600.
They spread In "a broad belt from the
Pacific ocean westward across south
,rn Asia and northern Africa to the
Atlantic ocean. The blacks numbe r
10000, 900. Their center Is Africa
routh to the Sahara desert
Least NUMEROUS OF the colored race
stocks are, the. reds--the "Ihdishs ,
or the Western Hemisphere. Muster,
ing r total of less, than I0i000.00o
the reds arc almost nil located south
OF the Rio Grande In Latin America"
FUTURE FAyORs CoLoRED RACES
Such Is the ethnic makeup of that
world OF color which outnumbers the
white world two TO one. That IL n
formidable ratio. and It's significance
il heightened by the fact that this
ratio seems destined to shift still
further In favor OF color. ..
There can be no doubt that the
colored races are increasing very
much faster than the white race.
