 DOMINATING WORLD
Proltssof Xilw WA of Its
 Declining Birth Rate

Pittsburgh. April :sdR-Eugenic factors for and against domination of the world by oriental races are enumerated by Professor Roswell H. Johnson of the University of Pitts burgh in . report to the American Eugenic society.
 "The eugenic aspect of the ori- ent." he saya. must interest us, since the western world now has entered into rapid decline of the birth rate which is sNAred only in a minor degree as yet by the orient.
 ''This, together with superior federation of torrid temperatures by the Chinese and the East Indians. presages an standardization of the world Especially if we include the semi-oriental, fecund Russian peas Ant.)
 ''The outstanding feature of the orient eugenically is the effect that the very strong family unit there has in resisting the powerful trend toward . lower birth rate in the intelligentsia. The significant fea- ture is that the Chinese man and woman feA genuine ambition to be the parents of several children.
 ."rhe international consequence. especially as the death rate is regu- iarly decreasinE with the spread of western medical arts, is sure to be | great increase in the oriental populations in contrast to the west ern populations.
 "The crucial question is how firm . yesistance does the Chinese fam fly system offer to the great wave of family limitation that is sweeping the western world 50 effectively In China 1t is now evident that among those educated in the west, this resistance is not great"
 Factors tending to limit the size of tho race in China Dr. Johnson enumerates as including deaths from overcrowdtng. widespread brigand- age. and graft. Another barrier is the arranging of marriages by me- cromancers.
 The Japanese. says Dr. Johnson. with "a strong. centralized. active. ambitious government of a people keenly race-conscious. highly uni- Aed and patriotic" has the great est opportunity" for an eugenic movement to preserve a high birth rate among the superior portion of the population and teach limitation to the ignorant
