PROFESSOR RAPS
N0RDIC SUPREMACY
Says Popular Theory Has No
Real Foundation
ARISES FROM C0NEIT
Informative Discussions of World
Affairs Enter Upon Their Second
Week at Williamstown Institute
OF Politics Today.

Williamstown, Mass, Aug. 6.-LR
The popular theory Of Nordic
supremacy over other world races
has no real foundation and arises
from the conceit of the Nordic, said
Professor r. d. Mckenzie of the
University of Washington during a
round-table discussion OF the Insti-
tute Of politics here today.
Got the Start
No basis for this supposed
point of view, or from that of tech
nical development and the assump-
ton that peoples with superior tech
nical culture are superior to peoples
without that culture has no scientific
validity. The speaker declared, the
white mans advantage today over
the Oriental. for instance, resting
merely in the fact that the white
man got the start"
Informative discussions of ma
tional and international affairs have
entered upon their second week at
Williamstown. where the institute
OF politics is in session. Political and
economic problems on the shores of
the Pacific: inter-American rela-
tions: the protection of citizens in
foreign countries: agriculture, and
Turkey and its rehabilitation are
among the continuing subjects that
will be discussed in round table
gatherings and general conferences;
also there will be lectures on Bel
gium and Turkey.
All Are Types
'The more we study and classify
human beings scientifically into
types Prof. Mckenzie told his
group of listeners. the more con-
fused We become about the mean
ing of the term race, because the
peoples of the world are all mon-
grels hybrids or mixtures Of migrat-
ing peoples of the past. This makes
for great difficulty when the attempt
is made to pick out fewer racial
types.
The old color classification has
no scientific validity, claimed the
speaker, who said, I'VE might as well
try to classify flowers by their colors.
Color has great sociological sig
nltlcance, however, he added for it
tends to differentiate groups and
keep peoples apart even though the
peoples of different color may be-
long to wide variety OF racial
stocks.
No Basis In Science
The concept that the Nordic Is
superior to the Oriental because he
has more and larger industries has
no basis in science" Professor
Mckenzie continued. ''the Nordic
happened to be the first to use
mechanical energy and Just hap
pened to have the resources of
energy. and thus got the lead over
the rest of the world in the 18th
century that has given him the big
head. Now he tries to explain this
on the basis of race.
1T is very evident that Orientals
once they get the scientific spirit
that dominates the west will equal
the white man in any kind of effort.

scientific.'

1900 STRIKE IN
FALL RIVER Mill

THINK OTHERS TO FOLLOW
Concern Operates Biggest Mill In
Fall RiSer-TcxtiIe Mills Commit.
tee OF New Bedford Inspires
Walk Out,

Fall River, Mass, Aug. 8 (UP)-
The New Bedford textile strike, now
in its 18th week, spread to this
great mill center today.
At noon, approximately 1900 en-
ployes of the American Printing Co.
had walked out. and it was feared
that more OF the concerns 1900
operatives would follow.
Biggest Mill
The American Printing Co. is the
biggest mill in Fall River, which
has "a mills, empoying between So,-
600 and $4,000 persons.
The local strike was inspired BY
the so-called radical textile mills
committee, which has taken an ac-
tive part in the New Bedford strike,
which involves Sc mills and about
$4,000 operatives.
Refuses Interview
Refusal of Nathan Durfee. assist
ant treasurer of the American Print
ing Co, to interview textile mills
committee representatives who CALL
ed on him. precipitated today's
walkout.
The textile mills committee, d.
rected here by Peter Hagelais. is de-
manding cancellation of a 10 per
cent wage cut put in effect in Fall
River mills several months ago, and
also a 20 per cent wage increase.
Protest Wage Cut
1t was in protest against a similar
10 per cent wage cut that the New
| Bedford operatives walked out On
! April 16.
At the office Of Assistant Treasur-
1 er Durfee. it was said at noon that
! it was impossible to estimate the
number participating in the Fall
River walkout, but it was reliably
reported that this number already
had reached the 1900 mark. Fear
was expressed at the mill Office that
more operatives would join in the
strike before night.
Thus far only the company's
rayon division has been affected, all
operatives in the cotton division re-
HldlnlnB at work.
Organizer Hagelias announced
that those participating in the walk
out would hold mass meeting at
p. M. on vacant lot on Mulberry
steet. He expressed satisfaction
with the strikers response to the
| street. He expressed satisfaction
that the walkout be staged.
Peaceful Fashion
The walkout was conducted in q
peaceful fashion and no trouble de-
veloped. Police Chief Martin Fee
ney said his department was pre-
pared for any emergency but that he
did not anticipate that police inter-
vention would be necessary.
1t was reported that the textile
mills committee, elated over its ini-
tial strike campaign in this city
would carry on carefully organ
lied campaign to induce a general
walkout in Fall River.
The fact that New Bedford man.
ufacturers. in supporting their argu-
ment for 10 per cent wage reduc-
ton, have pointed to the general ac-
ceptance of such a reduction by Fall
F, River operatives, was believed tc
/ have inspired the so-called radical
group of strike leaders to seek re-
storaton of the old wage scale In

After the present constitution was
framed in 1925 with Ahmed Zogu

have tried to win the consent of
Jugo-Slav and Italian diplomats for
the conversion of Albania into a
monarchy. The Jugo- Slavs refused,
but the Italians consented in prin-
ciple.
Everything Is Ready
Since that time Ahmed Zogu was
stated to have worked successfully
toward his goal and everything is
now considered ready for the
change.
There have been echoes. however,
of dissatisfaction with Ahmed 70

persed in various parts of Europe
appealed to the council of the
League of Nations for relief from
what they termed his tyranny. AL
banla was described in the petition
as country ridden by a despot's S
rule The league council was not
able to act since its authority is
limited to appeals from government
members.
Execute 3 Men
IN July Albania police arrested
and executed three men for plotting
to assassinate Ahmed Zogu. The
men were alleged to have planned
