IS SOLUTION OF
RACE PROBLEM
THIS is SUBSTANCE OF AN AD-
DRESS BY DR.. OLIVEIRA IL
MA AT WILLIAMS COLLEGE
BRAZIL WORKS IT OUT
Black, Red and White Mix and All
are Happy.

Williamstown, Mass.-Speaking be-
fore the Institute of Politics at Will
liams College, DR.. Manuel de Olive
ira Lima, Of Brazil, said that inter
marriage between the colored and
white races is frequent in his coun-
try and that as a result there are
mo discontinued races to be found
in Brazil, as you certainly have in
this country"
"There exists prejudice, especially
among distinguished families against
miscegenation," he said, but this is
freely practiced among the people in
general, with the result there is no
race question in Brazil, conflicts or
even controversies over the matter
being so to say, unknown, but that
Negroes are rapidly disappearing
into the white race.
"A source of antipathy is conse-
quently set aside, which would cor
respond to an irritation feature of
the social question and no discon-
tented races are to be. found in
Brazil, as you certainly have in
this country. This condition repre-
sents an advantage for national. life
and is one Of the reasons for the
happiness that Brazil suggests, al
though things are not perfect and no
serious reason exists for claiming
that Americas Vespucius was accu-
rate when he located down there the
earthly PARADISE"
"Since pure races" are, according
to ethnologists, a historical error
and consequently Godineau, the apol-
ogist of the white race Cor more &C
curately Of the Teutonic race), may
be taken as philosopher given to
whimsical speculation-we have to
admit that the Hispanic-American,
or more precisely, the Brazilian SOL
ution of the racial problem, of the
colored race at least, is certainly
wiser, more promising and above all
more humane than any solution which
operates through separation or seq
regation. -
