DR.. AUSTIN O'MALLEY
On the Future Of the White Race

on tUc OI tHC WING NaSS
THE white domination of the United
l. States will gradually die out and the
race will disappear from this country within
few hundred years. in the opinion of DR..
Austin OMalley. we'll known Philadelphia
physician and writer.
This is not nm empty declaration. but q
very grave and exigent condition, SAID
Or. O'Maley. land the statement Is based
on the repeated instances in history of whole
races, with their civlizations, disappearing
from the face of the earth when. either
through economic necessity or the migrating
instinct. they have left their native soils
and especially climate and gone into some
other area.
"This susceptibility to climatic change Is
due principally to the action of the sun S
rays Nearer the equator these rays strike
the earth most directly and at more OF nh
angle the farther away we go from the
equator.
Early History of White Race
"The earliest man of which anuhropolo-
gists have record Is the white man, and ms
race has been consistently the dominat ng
| force and the single civilizing factor in tie
| history of the world.
"The first record Of it's activities was
| in the basin Of the Euphrates, as the Scrip
lures relate, and it gradually worked east
and west as it was faced with the neces-
| sity for expansion. These peoples were pro-
| vdcd with n skin pigment by nature to pro-
| tcct them from the rays of the sun. rs
| they went east and west in their own eli
| matte belt this was not affected, but as they
eventually went south this pigment WAS in
creased until we had first the brown and
| then the black men. The necessity of going
| north was the last to be faced, and these
ancient pioneers, the first to go norta, fol-
| lowed the recession of the glacial Ice. AS
| they moved up into cooler climates the ne
| ccssity for protection against thc sun be-
| came less and the race became lighter. and
| eventually in the farthcst development We
| have the blond of Sweden, Denmark and
Northern Europe.
''Thc aborigines of Ireland and Britain
! were Mcditerrancans, who were displaced by
| the Cymric Celts. white race, and they
| In turn displaced by the NOrmans and Teu :.
tons. all Nordic or white races.
1T is these who originally settled in
| America.
''If you shift the Nordlc six or seven
hundred miles from his native habitat he
will die out within Il century. Take, for
instance. the Cclts who went into Greece
about 1000 B. c. and gave to that country
| the pinnacle of her civilization. They died
out within short time because of the south
crn climate, and with them went n civili-
| zntion and progress that have since been the
wonder of the world. The native Greeks
were Semitic and were not responsible for
| the nations rise at that period. Had they
| in any way contributed there would have
been some trace hare-up of the ancient
| greatness in modern times, but of such we
| have no trace.
Why LOmbards Died Out
''Thc Lombards worked osouth into Italy
and in sixty years disappeared, leaving
nothing but the name Of their kingdom.
The Vnndal invaded Northern Africa from
| Germany and was annihiated by the eli e
mate alone in 10S years The Burgundians
settled in Southern Greece in the tenth cen
tury and disappeared in sixty years.
"On the other hand, the Moors success =
fully inhabited Spain for 700 years because
they were in their own climatic belt They
established great civilization and would
have been there yet had they not been
elected by force. The Goths went into
Northern Spain and lasted 200 years because
of the high altitude of the land they occu
pied and the cooler atmosphere.
''It has been calculated that every 200
feet Of elevation is equivalent to sixty miles
northing. Mexico city, because of its ele
vntion, is III corresponding latitude to
New Orleans and is an infinitely better eli =
mate because of the dryneSs. The Acadians,
originally from Northern France. thrive in
Canada but the same race are failures in
Louisiana. where they also at one time
heavily settled, aud their names there among
the white race are now virtually extinct
'"rhc civilization of the world always has
been confined within certain belt and
always will be. 1t is directly dependent on
certain conditions Of temperature and hu
midity. Races coming from outside this
belt have neither the ability, the initiative
nor the courage to be great civiizng fac
tors. This belt lies approximately within the
Iatitudcs Of England and Northern Italy
For that reason il is futile to ever try tC
bring such a race Ns the Russians or Sicil
ians % high point point Of civilization: kai
