( some reverence amounting almost
to idolatry. The newspapers al
ways mention, with bated breath,
that she once spent 80 days in
Jail for her convictions. You'd
think she'd been burned alive. She
is presented as the holy martyr
confessor of the religion of keeping
babies from being born-the Moth
erless Church.
Well, what is the seer saying
now? She is saying that things are
going TO be wonderful IS years
from now in Japan and india be-
cause the anti-baby programs in
those countries we're planned to
reach the lowest rungs of the So
cial ladder"
In other words. the common peo-
pie there are going to stop being
common. They're going to do that
by stopping being people. They're
just going to stop being-thanks
TO Margaret Sanger. AS others
thank God for existence, they will
be thanking Sanger for non-exist-
ence. Or they would be, il it
weren't that they won't be there.
Margaret Sanger assures us that
''we will not need to fear a 'yel-
low peril because India and Japan
will have balanced populations in
which those with something TO
give the world Will be the ones who
will be increasing"
There's musty, attic flavor of
lavendar and old lace about that.
Mrs. Sanger is not getting any
younger. This is the first time I've
heard anybody talking seriously
about the yellow peril" since the
days of moustaches. deby hats and
horseless buggies. | was very young
then, but | remember.
The basic thesis of the words
"yelIow peril" is. of course, racism,
supermanism. white supremacyism.
It's the philosophy that made Hit
Ter tick, and gave us the Ku Klux
Klan. One of its manifestations is
anti-semitism. It's simply denial
of the Brotherhood of Man under
the Fatherhood of God. If you say
the words yellow peril" seriously
you're infected. You mean that
we've got to keep the yellow
races" down.
The same snobbery peaks oui
of the words "those with something
to give the world will be the
ones who will be increasing" The
planned parenthooders, the ma
ternal healthers, are going to take
over Gods job. They're going tc
point infallible fingers and say
that this husband and wife mustn't
increase and multiply because the
babies they might have would con
tribute nothing to society. How
they are going to know which un
conceived infant will be a future
Lincoln, and which future Hiss
they don't explain. But had they
been running the world they would
have prevented Lincoln-his par
enis being poor - and produced
Hiss, who had everything they con
slider needed by the world.
Prophecies Sanger, however, die
not have for America the glowing
words she had for India and ia
pan. The future of the United
States, she said, is not equally
bright. because her marriage pros
titution movement has scarcely
touched the lower brackets of peo
pie who have nothing TO contribute
to society"
1.-The lower brackets" !" Nothing
to contribute to society" Priestess
Sanger, of course, is in the upper
brackets; and so are her follow
ers. We, the common people, who
consider our children to be among
Gods choicest gifts-we're in the
lower brackets. We're too stupid tC
fall in with Sanger's proposal thai
we exterminate ourselves. Yer,
well, so be it. | hope Sanger Il
right about us. IL she is, Americs
will grow greater and greater.
hope she's wrong about Japan anC
India. If she isn't, they're on theil
way out. Copies to Japan's Die
