Inc SUBJECT OF racial lnte-
grafton is one to which l, a
Northerner and a Republican
and a lawyer. historian. and
writer, have given much
thought. All through my life
have met and been on con-
genial relations with Negro
persons. But my studies of
racial origins. migrations, and
development have resulted in
the following conclusions.
Except for some unclassifi-
able people in southern India,
the races Of mankind are
identified in three divisions,
viz. the Turanian yellow
Rcd, the Aryan Brown
White, and the Indafrican
Negro or Black. The human
race apparently evolved in
Java possibly a million years
ago. developed very slowly, and
in the course Of time migrated
nortnward and westward. Per-
hapS 10000 years ago, during
an ice age. the Negro race in
India was split in half By
Brown people north of them.
one division settling in South
Pacific islands and the other
moving westward into Africa.
whence the Brown AryanS in
time forced them southwark
into hot climate. where they
subsequently lived. Meanwhile,
Brown people moved up the
Indus River. in India. and I'LL
timately evolved in a cold eli
mate into the white Celtic and
Nordic peoples. who much later
migrated westward across Eu-
rope. These hot and cold CHI
mates differed greatly from
that TO which all OF those peo-
pie mad been accustomed in the
Gauges basin of India. and
each division of the race evol-
we'd differently and developed
different characteristics during
the subsequent thousands of
years. not only in extremes of
color but also, as shown by
Thomas r. Henry in an article
in The Star of February /,
1857. in blood differences. for

white soldiers in Korea which

races 1t is common knowl-
edge that the two races also
developed different mental
characteristics because of eli
matte differences. Taking the
two races as a whole, the white
race. because OF the stimula-
ton Of the colder climate, adj
vanced to a far higher degree
than the Negro race did. Every
Negro who has attained TO
higher status than that of the
more advanced of his race has
done so by virtue of white
blood in him. These are the
only individuals who present
any serious problem when
studying the question of inte-
grafton, but they should be sat
isf1ed TO be leaders in their own
race. 1t is not discrimination
hut unjust discrimination that
should be banned.
Thus. we have a question
dealing with two highly differ
cnt races, with different essen
tial characteristics. The white
race always has stood on its
own feet in its advancement.
Why cannot the colored race
do the same. SO long as ii has
equality Of living conditions,
without depending or social
commingling with the white
race? II always has the latter
as an example in this country.
Thus, equality Of living condi-
lions rather than commingling
of races is The real question 10
