WARNING NOTE
RUSHING TO DESTRUCTION. FATE OF AMERICAN PEOPLE. BY CABLE--PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT (Received Aug. 16, 10.15 a.m.) OTTAWA, Aug. 15. Professor William McDougall, tjhe noted psychologist of Harvard University, speaking before the British Eugenics Educational Society at Toronto, declared: “As I watch the American people speeding daily with invincible optimism down the path that leads to destruction, I seem to be watching one of the greatest tragedies of history.” In his opinion the condition of the United States will be desperate if the bulk of the people cannot be brought to see the situation the nation, is in owing to the disregard of eugenic methods in maintaining and improving its stock. These methods, according to Professor McDougall, are birth control, selective immigration, and wages graded according to the sizes of families. —Reuter.
