■ NATIVE SUPREMACY I \ OVER CIVILISED RACES. UNDERSTANDINGS OF EUGENICS. (ißeceived 11.15 a.m.) LONDON, February 19. Sir W. Arbuthnot Lane, lecturing before the Clinical 'Society, declared the question of whether civilisation was a failure always arose when people considered its disastrous effect on natives. Merchant seamen taught natives to • drink to excess. They also disseminated disease. The missionaries introduced a moral code causing degeneration and degradation. ''The native," said Sir William, "is an infinitely finer animal than the civilised one. His men are great fighters and skilful hunters. His women produce vigorous, Tiealtliy children, owing to the study of "birth control and eugenics, as distinct from tho methods of civilisation. On the contrary, British people arc enslaved because the authorities insist, in their ignorance of eugenics, on certain lines Qf treatment resulting in the produc t'ion of weak children."-—Sun.
