NO REAL ARYAN, RACE PROFESSOR'S COMMENT LONDON, Aug. 1. Ridiculing the Nazis’ Aryan fallacy, Professor Elliott Smith, at tho Anthropological Congress, repudiated the claim that distinctive, qualities of mind ami character belong to the Nordic race and the so-called Aryans. He said that Professor. Max Muller, who introduced the term “Aryan,” was eventually compelled to admit that there was no such thing as an Aryan race, blood, eves and hair. The primitive Aryan culture derived from Babylon, indeed, had been due to Semitic influence.
“When one remembers Professor Huxley’s exposure of the Aryan fallacy in 1890,” he said, “.it is surprising that anthropological facts are so flagrantly misused nowadays by applying the word ‘Aryan,’ as equivalent to non-Jewish.”
