any data on the total number of
whites, Negroes, mulattOes, and so

approximate picture be given of
the diversity of Brazips popula-

describing it.
It has been estimated that over
70 per cent of United States Ne
groes have some white blood. In
Brazil miscegenation has been freer
and on a far grander scale be-
tween the three stocks. Therefore,
probably over 80 per cent of Bra
zilians of Negro ancestry have
some white blood and possibly half
in addition have a little Indian
blood. The latter is generally re-
mote, going back to colonial times.
The white admixture is, however,
more extensive than here, there be-
ing more persons in Brazil who are
half or three-quarters Caucasian.
Negroes in the United States have
less Indian blood than in Brazil.
Roy Nash, in his excellent book on
Brazil, is enthusiastic for the fu-
ture of the new race and culture
being fused in Brazil by the white,
Indian and Negro. He feels it will
be different from anything before
produced by mankind.

The different manner in which
the Negro is considered in the 1910
censuses in Brazil and the United
States clearly illustrates the posi-
ton he occupies in the two leading
nations Of Negro population. A
census is chiefly an aid to a coun-
try's economy and government. In
BraziPs fifth general census, which
began on September 1, 1910, no
specific questions were included on
race. However, Brazil's approx
mately 100000 white citizens
were asked their European origins.
These two circumstances are sig
nificant. They indicate that Brazil
accepts her citizens of Negro 'des-
cent without worry. Not so the
more recently arrived and often
potentially dangerous Europeans
from lands now fascist and their
descendants. ~.

Of a diagram. Three circles repre-

the white, next the Negro, and
smallest the Indian contribution to
the total Brazilian bloOdstream.
The circles should overlap so as
to show a third of their combined
area as unmixed white blood. The
circles for Indian and Negro blood
should only slightly extend beyond
the overlapping zone of mixed
blood. This is to indicate that but
