ADVOCATES SEGREGATION
 TO KEEP RACIAL PEACE
Professor Gregory Claims Whites Can Live Permanently in Tropics
 --Pwdicts Hybrid Race.

Toronto, August 7.-Concluding a survey of the race problems of the world before the British association for the advancement Of science today, Prof. J. W. Gregory of Glasgow uni versity challenged the theory that white men could not sustain perman- ent colonies in tropcial climates, and advanced the view that the best solu- tion of relations between whites ne- groes lay in the separate existence as a whole" of those races, with op- portunities for individual association and cooperation.
 Prof. Gregory commended the White Australia" policy, and urged that the dominion secure the entire continent as the home of the white race. Though much had been writ ten to show that tropical climates were unsuitable for people of Euro pean races said Prof, Gregory. &C., cepted medical opinion now held that not one of the supposed unfavorable factors sush as heat, humidity, monot- opy of temperature and the actinic rays of the sun, was in itself an ob- sttaele to white settlement in the tropics, He mentioned colonies in Guayaouil and Brazil as evidence.
 After referring to the status of the negro in North America, South Amer ican, and South Africa, Prof. Gregory said the policy of segregation as advo- cated by the nationalists in South Africa appeared to offer the only plan by which Europeans could main- tain a permanent settlement there. He suggested that the tendency for South Europeans to take up farm work in the southern states of Amer ica might lead to the formation of a hybrid race.
