NEW LIGHT o NRACE
MIXTURE

H. S. Jennings, zoologist of
Johns Hopkins university, in his
latest book, The Biological Basis
of Human Nature, states that ac-
cording to the law of genetics,
parents that do not have the same
defects, though possessing the
usual amount of defective genes
differently located in the chromo-
sones, will most likely have the
strongest offspring. Scientists
have crossed inferior grades of
maize and created superior type.
How? BY selecting the maize
from widely different location so
that parent stocks differ in the po-
sition of their defective genes. I'm
less both parents have the same
defective gene, the child escapes
the defect and is superior to both.
Thus, it is clear that race mixture
is a good thing biologically, for
those who have the nerve and the
courage to carry on the expert
nent.
Biologicaaly, the mixing of two
distinct stocks eventually makes
a stronger stock, if we are to be-
lieve those who have given the
subject most careful study. A good
example of the beneficient result
OF this mixture is to be observed
in colored America which survives
and flourishes under conditions
that have decimated other peoples.
Inbreeding is unsafe, as we all
know from witnessing the anemia
rampant in the inbred European
royal houses. Had the little son
Of the last Car of all the RuSsias
not suffered from hemophelia,
Russia's history might have been

phonse and his sons would not now
be in exile. Inbreeding was one
of the factors that destroyed an.
cient Egypt.
OTHER ASPECTS OF
EQUALITY
If biological demands call for
the destruction of caste lines, the
logic of equality is equally insis-
tent in other realms. From the
commercial standpoint, it would be
far more profitable for the nation
if there were one standard of serv
ice for ALL The dual system great

selling, not suppressing.
From the psychological stand
point, it is unwise and destruc-
tive to pursue internal dissention
in the form of hatred and preiu-
dice. If royal anemia paves the
way for revolutions, sectional and
group conflict just as readily opens
the way for foreign conquest. In
every nation ever conquered, the
real Williams behind the scenes have
been disgruntled or greedy natives
eager to sell out their homeland
for gold or revenge. Quarrels
among East Indian potentates led
directly to British rule. South
Africa, East Africa, West Africa,
North Africa, Aztec Mexico, China
all were betrayed from within.

try will go the same way if it is

it has been to date.
