BirthControlDangertoWhite Supremacy

DR.SUTHERLAND'SADDRESSATKNIGHTS'CONVENTION.

IMPINMWOM....1=11004111..11....411.1ro...

ThereisnoreasonwhatevertoassumetheinevitableandlastingsagLemacyofthewhiterace,"declaredDr. HallidaySutherlandtoanaudience of3,000attheUsherHall,Edinburgh,recently,inanaddresson"TheMysteryofPopulation."

Themeetingatwhichhespokewas heldinconnectionwiththefifthannualconventionoftheKnightsofColumba.

Dr.HallidaySutherlandarguedthat unlessthevastunpopulatedspacesof theEmpireweresettledbywhites, thoseplaceswouldpassintothehands ofamorevirilepeople.Ofthe world'spopulationto-day500millions arewhiteand1,100coloured.

Thespreadofbirthcontrolamong whitepeoplewould,thereforA,imperilwhitesupremacy.

MonsignorHenryGraham,Auxiliary BishopofSt.AndrewsandEdinburgh, saidthatCatholics,ascitizensandpa- triots,couldnotstandbyandsee theircountrydepopulated.

Dr. forwardHallidaySutherlandbrought anewargumentagainstartificialbirthcontrolinhisaddresson "TheMysteryofPopulation."

"TheIsraelitesofold,whenop- pressedbyPharaoh,"saidDr.Sutherland,"multipliedexceedingly,andwe knowthatunderconditionsofhardship,oppression,poverty,scarcity, famine,orintheaftermathofwarinvariablythebirth-raterises.Thatis nature'smethodofreplacingthecasualtiesofhighdeath-rates.

"Ontheotherhand,underconditionsofabundance,thenaturalfertilityofarace,orofaspecies,declines, abeneficentprovisionNherebyoverpopulationisprevented.Suchis Doubleday'slaw-alawthatoperates notonlyinthehumanspecies,but alsothroughouttheanimalandvege- tablekingdoms.

"Letusconsiderthismysteryof populationinrelationtoImperialpoiicy.

"Twoargumentspurportingtobe basedonstrategicgroundshavebeen advancedinfavourofarestricted birth-rate.Theoneissuperficial,the othersuicidal.

TheFoodArgument.

"Itisarguedthatifthepopulation ofGreatBritainwasreducedbyonehalf,weshouldbesaferintimeof war,becausewecouldthenliveon theproduceofourownfarms.That argumentissuperficial.Anystu- dentofnavalhistorycouldpointout notonlythattheblockadehasalwaysbeendefeatedbytheconvoy, butalsothattheblockadeisinitselfadangerousweaponinthatit mayarousetheantagonismofneutrals.

"Admittingthewisdomofmaking thiscountrymoreself-supporting,it wouldsurelybesomewhatdifficultto reduceartificiallythepopulationbyone-half,evenassumingthatthebirth ofachildcametoberegardedasa criminaloffence.Andincomparison tothatdifficulty,woulditnotbe wiserandalsoeasiertoincreaseour agriculturalresources?

SmallPopulationsUnsafe

Anyonewhodoubtsthepossibility ofmakingbetteruseofourcountry mightwithadvantageengageinanew game,andonhisnextrailwayjourneymightcountthenumberofpeopleactuallyseenworkingontheland.This pastimewasinventedbyFatherVincentMcNabb,O.P.,andthenumericalresultsarestartling.

"Thesecondso-calledstrategicargumentissuicidal.Itissuggested thattheinevitableresultofanuncheckedbirth-rateiswarwagedfor theacquisitionofnewterritory.That argumentisunconvincing,becausewithequaltruthitmightbesaid that"anationwhosenumbersare dwindlingoffersatemptationtothe declarationofwarbyamorerobust andaggressiveneighbour.'

"Itmaybethatasanimperialpeo- plewearesingularlyignorant,and itispossiblethatsomeofourmore volubleandcosmopolitanpatriots reallybelievethattheBritishEmpire consistsofanoilshareinthemiddle ofMexico.Nevertheless,thereis plentyofroom.

TheEmpire'sGreatResources.

"InAustralia,inthegreatbasinof theMurrayRiver,thereisalandof sunshine,wellwatered,veryfertile.It iscalledtheheartofAustralia.And thesizeofthisdistrict-becausein comparisontothetotalityoftheEm. pireitisonlyadistrict-isequalto thecombinedareasofGermany, France,andItaly,countriesthatcarry

apopulationof130millions.Inthe heartofAustraliaareonlythreemillionpeople,andinallAustraliathere isonlyoneinhabitanttoeverytenin Japan.

"Isitnotobviousthatinourvast overseasDominionsaregreatempty spaces,whereuntilledsoilandexcellentclimateawaitapopulation?

"Isthatpopulationtobewhite, yelloworblack?

"Ofthetotalpopulationoftheearth, estimatedat1,600millions,500millionsarewhite,and1,100millionscoloured.

"Thereisnoreasonwhatever assumetheinevitableandlastingsupremacyofthewhiterace,butthere isreasontobelievethatifthewhite racesdonotocupythegreatempty spacesofthesetemperateclimatesin whichtheiroffspringcancontinuetrue toancestraltype,theseplaceswill passintothehandsofsomemorevirilepeople.

TheTimeforColonisation.

"Andourtimeforachievementis limited.Ithasbeencalculatedthat ifthepresentrateofincreaseofpopulationbemaintained-averyuncertainassumption-twocenturiesmust elapsebeforetheunoccupiedlandsof theeartharesettledanddevelopedin accordancewiththeiragriculturalpotential.

"Grantingtheassumptionthatthe presentincrementofpopulationwill continue,then,attheendof200years, thepopulationoftheearthwouldhe 6.000millions,insteadof1,600millions.

"Asthatdistinguishedgeographer, Dr.VaughanCornish,haspointedout, thisfiguredoesnotrepresentthefinal populationoftheearth,aboutwhich nothingwhateverisknown,butit doesindicatethatattheendof200 yearswemaycometotheendofan epoch-theendofthecolonisingperiodofhistory:thatthewholeearth maythenbeparcelledoutcomplete. lyamongstthenations;andthat sincenationsoncerootedtothesoil aredifficulttodisplace,thoseinpossessionattheendofthecolonising periodwouldbemostlikelytoendure.

"Onthataccount,asDr.Vaughan Cornishsays,ourtimeislimitedto `abouttwocenturies,orsixgenerations,inwhichtoprovidethetemperateclimatesoftheBritishEmpire withasufficiencyofBritishstockto ensurethecontinuanceoftheirBritish character.'

"Andso,believinginthedestinyof ourownpeople,convincedtliatthe creationofacolonialandagrarian Empireinwhicheachmanownedhis sharewouldmakeforthepeaceand prosperityoftheworldforcenturies. wecometoopposeeveryunnatural restrictionofthebirth-rateonthe highestgroundsofImperialpolicy."

AnIrishJokerandthe"MorningPost"

Somejokerhasbeen(touseafamiliarphrase)successfully"pullingthe leg"ofthe"MorningPost.'Theorganofthe"die-hards"gaveoneday recentlythehonoursoflargeprintand aplaceontheleaderpagetoaletter fromacorrespondentinCounty Tyrone,declaringthatthemenof ProtestantUlstermeanttoholdtheir own,inspiredbymemoriesoftheir past.

Mr.Grahamgaveaspecialexample fromtheMint,whichproducesmedals andcoinsforothercountries.The MintemployeeshadputforwardcertainwagerequestswhichtheTreasury admittedtohereasonable,buthad theybeengrantedtheMintwouldhave lostcontractsandtherewouldhave beenalosstothatpublicdepartment, andmenwouldhavebeendismissed fromemployment.TheMintisina favouredposition,andtherewouldbe graverdifficultiesinotherundertakings.Mr.Grahamhasnobeliefin anymagicofStateownership,andhe warnshisfellowSocialiststhat"The Statemustbewareofallowingitselfto

"Socialisminitsearlyandextended stageswouldinvolvenotlessbutmore sacrificesthanmenmadenow.He didnotmeanmonetarysacrifice.They wouldrequiretowitnessthebreakdownofmanyideascurrentinthe tradeunionmovementinordertoget perfectunityofeffortandservice,just astheywouldrequiretosmashtheselfishnessofthecapitalistsystem.Accordinglyhethoughttheywouldbe hoodwinkingtheiraudiencesiftheyallowedthemtobelievethatthetransitionto,andthemaintenanceof,such Socialistpracticewasgoingtohean easyproposition."

TheFrenchGovernment,afterrecallingallthedoubtfulnotoritiesthat wereexpelledduringthewaronsuspicionoftreachery,haveexpelledthe PoorClaresofAlencon,acommunityofNunswholivedalifeofprayer andvoluntarypoverty.TheFreemasonsaremerelytryingtheirhandand feelingtheirground,butjudgingfromtheirfirstattempt,theyneednotfear anyoppositionfromtheFrenchCatholics.TheSistersslippedoutquietly; therewasakindlyreferencetotheminthepapers;somecitizenssigned apetition,andonegentlemanpublishedaprotest,thatisall;sothatthe FrenchFreemasonswillhaveeveryopportunityofdisplayinginthefaceof conventwomenthedaringrecklessnesstheyhadnotthestomachtosum- monbeforetheGermans.MonsignorBaudrillart,whoannuallypublishes sucheloquentpropagandaonFrenchCatholicism,willnotfindmuchcopy atAlencon.

ButtheNunsarepartlyto,blame.Catholicpaperswrite:"Thedate oftheirexpulsionhadbeenfixedbytheFrenchGovernmentforAugust26.

FrenchAnti-Clericals Government'sExplanation.

TheFrenchGovernmenthasofferedanexplanationofitsharshtreatmentofthePoorClaresinordering theirexpulsionfromtheconventat Alencon.

Ithasbeendriventodosobythe numerousprotestsreceivedfromevery partofFrance.

SpeakingatSaintAffrique,inAlsace,M.Raynaldy,MinisterofCommerce,deprecatedanysuggestionof anti-clericalismonthepartoftheGovernmentandstatedthattheexpulsion ofthePoorClaresfromAlenconwas anincontestableproofthatitwasthe intentionoftheGovernmenttoapply

thelawwiththeutmostconsideration.

TheMinisterwentontostatethat theCongregationofPoorClaresat Alenconwasdissolvedunderthelaw of1905,andpreparationsweremade in1912fortheirpropertytobesold.

M.Poincareimposedonthepur- chasersofthepropertytheobligation oflodgingtherein16outofkhe35 nunsinhabitingthepremisesatThe dateofthedecreeofdissolution.

Thiswastobecomenullandvoidin theeventoftheCongregationbeingreconstitutedbytheadditionofother nuns.

"InDefianceoftheLaw."

Between1912and1924sevenofthe originalnunsdiedandwerereplaced byothers,thenumberatthebeginning ofthisyearbeing34.

TheCongregation,therefore,had beenreconstitutedindefiancebothof thelawof1905andthedecreeof1912.

ThepresentGovernmentcontented itselfwithbringingthenumberof thoseauthorisedtoremainintheestablishmentbacktonine,asprovided bythedecreeof1912.

Theplausibleexplanationgivenby M.Raynaldywhileseekingtojustify theactionoftheGovernmentismerelyanindicationthatthepolicyoftolerationwhichhasbeeninforcefor thepasttenyearsmustnowbediscontinuedandgiveplacetotheunjustlawsof1'905.

As"LaCroix"veryaptlyobservee, thequestionwhichisagitatingthe CatholicsofFranceisnotthemanner inwhichtherelawsareadministered,buttheveryexistenceoftheselaws. Thelenientapplicationofanunitiq lawdoesnotjustifythatlaw.

TheonlymeasureoflibertywhichtheFrenchGovernmentispreparedto givetheReligiousCongregationsis,ap- parently,thegenerousconcessionthat thosewhowereallowedtoremainin 1912willbeundisturbed.Butnuns whocometoreplacethosewhohadiedsince1912willbepromptlyevicted.

Meanwhileitisgratifyingtoobserve thattheCatholicsofFrancearemakingorganisedeffortstorepelthese attacksontheirreligiousliberties. OnSeptember18ameetingatLaval passedthefollowingresolution:-

Alongthatnarrowpathwindingtortuouslybetweendriedbrackenand vividclotsoffernshe,thedivinity, wouldcome.Heneverquestioned; heaccepted.And,despitethepassing oftime,thecertaintybothofherand thehousehewasborntoinhabithad neverdiminished.

Itwasastrangecoincidencethat thehouselayalmostwithinear-shotof thesycamore.Itwasstillmorewonderfulthat,asthetruthhadentered hisheartwhenfirstheenteredthe wood,sohaditwhenhefirstbeheld thehouse.Ah!thehouse!Long andlowandroomyitwas,withmany gablesandabalconyrunningalong thesouthside.Atrimtenniscourthewasfondoftennis!-adjoinedthe house,andbeyondlayapaddockand afielddevotedtofruittrees,poultry, andacow.

Itwasagamekeeperintraditional garb.Thesoftfurryhat,thevelveteencoat,eventhekaitersbuttoned infront,andthegunbeneaththeleft armpit:allwerepresent.Butthe facewasyoung,evenhandsome;sohe tookheartandsaid:

"Youcameheretowriteonly?"

Thevoicehadsoftenedand,evenat thatmoment,Alvannoticedthatthe drawlofthelocalcountrymanwasabsent.

"Yes."

"Thisisthefirst,"mutteredAlvan, dry-lipped.

"icanbelieveit.Butcome!Your nameandaddress?Trespassingisa minoroffence.Trespassingandpoachingarepunishedseverely."

OnlyatthatmomentdidAlvanrealisehowprecariouswashisposition. Ifthisaffairshouldendinthepolice courts,hispositionasheadchemistat thelargeststeelworksintheMidlands wouldbeseriouslyjeopardised.The shockofthissuddenthoughtactedas atonic.Herosetohisfeet,stowed awayhisbelongings,andbuttonedhis coatcarefully.

"I'mquitewillingtopayforthe rabbit,"hebegan.

"You'lldonothingofthesort.I'm waitingforyournameandaddress."

Thegamekeeperdrewforthabattered notebook.

"Youwon'tgetit,"retortedAlvan, decidedly.

"Come,youngman,don'tbefoolish. Resistancewillonlytrebletheoffence."

Alvancommencedtowalkaway.

"Stop!"cameinaperemptorytone.

"I'veonlytoshoutandtwoofmy menwillbehereinaminute."

Alvanwatchedthelitheformclimbingthehillside.

"Whatabouttherabbit?"heshouted.

"Youmaykeepit,"shereturnedand wasgone. Alvanpassedtheweekwithhis headintheclouds.Atlast,outof theabyssofTime,asitwere,hisgoddesshadappeared.Helovedheralready.Probablyhehadlovedheror herspiritduringthosepastseven years.

"Youseemastonished.Doyou knowher?"

"No;butthehousewasanotherlink inmyvision."

Hetoldherhisseconddream,and, inthetelling,thehousewasforgotten forthegirlheloved.Hercalmblue eyes,searchinghimminutely,seemed tostriphissoulbareandrevealallthe pettyweaknessesofwhichhewascapable.Hisloveflamedalmostuncontrollably,butresolutelyhestifledit. Thetimewasnotyet.
