The Indian,Gf long classified as a

Commissioner Husband said that

the Bureau of immigration to de-
fend All New World peoples are
outside the quota regulations, but a
special non-quota wise must be OBJ

could fall back upon the State De-
partment wise.
The present wording of the law,
Mr.. Husband admitted, was chiefly
dangerous in that 1t gave an oppor-
tunity for a trouble maker, par
ticularly some person with a grudge
against some South American
country, to bring q. test case, with
all the bitterness certain to attend
the arguments and the possible per-
manent hard feeling If the immi-
grant was barred. 1t is largely to
make certain of the legal grounds
on this point that the inquiries have
been made.
Fortunately the larger Latin Amerf-
can nations would be unaffected by
such a case. BraziPs population is

Indian contingent, which has not

present, and all learned arguments
tracing them back to the same origin
as the people of northern Europe, for
instance, go for nothing. The trainers
of the statute of 1890 would have
looked at a Hindu and pronounced
him brown merely from the color of
his skin, without taking his cephalic
index or the length breadth ratio Of
his nose.
DR.. Folkmar, in his official guide Of
races, pronoupces the American In
dian tribes, both North and South,
as Mongolians of the same primary
racial stock as the Japanese or
Chinese, although with great modi-
fications due to their long residence
in the New World. Therefore, they
are certainly not white and they have
no relationship whatsoever to the
black men of Africa.
Members of the great negro popu-
lation of Brazil probably could enter

Scandinavian and the brown Hindoo
have a common ancestor in the dim
reaches of antiquity but the average
man knows perfectly we'll that there
are unmistakable and profound diff
ferences between them today, and 1t
is not impossible that If the common
ancestor could be materialized in the
flesh we should discover that he was
himself sufficiently differentiated from
both of his descendants to preclude
his racial classification with either
In 1890 the Adamite theory of crea-
tion--which gave a common ancestor
to all mankind, was generally ac-
cepted and it is not at all probable
that it was intended by the legislators
of that day to submit the question of
the application of the words white
persons to the mere test of an in
definitely remote common ancestry
without regard to the extent of the
subsequent divergence.
Il. would seem reasonably clear
that mere resemblance in language,
indicating common linguistic root
buried in remotely ancient soil, is al
together inadequate to prove common
racial origin. Our own history has
witnessed the adoption of the English
tongue by millions of negroes whose
descendants can never be classified
with the descendants of white per-
sons.

that the race to which he belongs is

mentS- FF
words free white persons are words
of common speech, to be interpreted
In accordance with the understanding
of the common man, synonymous
with the word Caucasian only as that
word is popularity understood. AS so
understood and used, whatever may
be the speculations of the ethnologist,
1t does not include the body of people
to whom the appellee belongs. 1t is
familiar observation and knowledge
that the physical characteristics of
the HinduS render them easily dis
tinguishable from the various groups
OF PERSONS IN tHlS country commonly
recognized as white. 1t cannot be
doubted that the children born in this
country of Hindu parents would re-
tain indefinitely the evidence of their
ancestry. 1t is very far from our
thought to suggest the slightest ques-
tion of racial superiority. What we
suggest is merely racial difference"
With this decision in mind, Mr.
Husband said, the question of eligi-
bility reverts in any contested case
to the opinion of court as to
whether any group of individuals con-
stituting a nation are white" at the

LIBRARY NEEDS AND

Greta e. Brown, librarian OF the

good case why the public library
