Why this book?
This book documents the means by which eugenic goals have been introduced
into the mainstream of American intellectual and political life, and the
extent to which this mainstreaming has occurred.
Eugenics is a concept familiar to Americans as an overarching policy
consideration of the Third Reich. "Eugenics" subsumes such notions as
racial purity, racial superiority, and the heritability of intelligence,
virtue, or vice. Although Hitler is its most notorious proponent, eugenic
thinking has been a prominent strand in Western intellectual history since
the 1860's, when Darwin's disciple, Francis Galton, began to put about the
idea that the governing classes of England ought to take it upon themselves
to guide the development of the human genetic heritage. A good history of
these early days of eugenic thinking can be found in The Legacy of Malthus
by Allen Chase. A good short discussion of the early days of eugenics can
be found in Aristotle to Zoos by Peter Medawar, a member of the English
Eugenics Society. He quotes Galton, as follows:
"I do not see why any insolence of caste should prevent the gifted
class, when they had the power, from treating their compatriots
with all kindness, so long as they maintained celibacy. But if
these continued to procreate children inferior in moral, intellectual
and physical qualities, it is easy to believe the time may come
when such persons would be considered as enemies to the State, and
to have forfeited all claims to kindness." (Fraser's Magazine 7
[1873] quoted in Aristotle to Zoos., Peter and Jean Medawar, 1983 p.
87)
By the turn of the 20th century, such ideas were commonplace. Margaret
Sanger, a member of both the American Eugenics Society and the English
Eugenics Society, is a famous proponent of eugenics from that time; we may
recall any one of numerous examples from her writings. For example,
"Those least fit to carry on the race are increasing most rapidly
... Funds that should be used to raise the standard of our
civilization are diverted to maintenance of those who should never
have been born." (from The Pivot of Civilization quoted in Margaret
Sanger. by Elsah Droghin.)
The eugenic ideas of Margaret Sanger and others have been the philosophy of
the major birth control groups from the beginning until now. For example,
"Race Building in a Democracy" was the topic at the 1940 joint meeting of
the Birth Control Federation of America and the Citizens Committee for
Planned Parenthood. The Federation then said: "We, too, [like Hitler's
regime] recognize the problem of race building, but our concern is with
the quality of our people, not with their quantity alone ... "It is
entirely fitting that 'Race Building in a Democracy' should have been
chosen as the theme of the ANNUAL MEETING of the Birth Control Federation
of America ..." (Birth Control Review, vol. XXIV, January 1940. See also
the entry in this book under Henry P. Fairchild)
One of the most influential opponents of eugenic thinking was G.K.
Chesterton, who wrote Eugenics and Other Evils. The rise of the
eugenicists to power in the mid-20th century in Nazi Germany is an oft-told
tale. Unfortunately, the moral generally drawn from this tale is that
flaws in the German character explain the Third Reich. It "all" happened
because Germans are too much in love with their own national heritage, or
too sentimental, or too docile before authority. These traits, combined
with antisemitism, "explain" the rise of Hitler. In other words, eugenical
thinking is supposedly a menace particular to German culture; the rest of
us need not examine our consciences except for German personality traits.
In truth, however, eugenical thinking has been spreading steadily in Western
culture throughout this century. Even after the German embarrassment,
the eugenicists kept right on pursuing the same goals they had always
pursued, the same goals that Hitler pursued. But the spread of eugenicism
after World War II in the United States is not well studied or documented;
hence this book.
The research presented in this book aims to further the study of post-World
War II eugenic influence in America. Earlier eugenicists, and foreign
eugenicists, are studied for the sake of the light they shed on the post-War
American context.
Eugenics in America
The conclusions drawn by the author from the data she has gathered are as
follows:
(1)Eugenical currents in England, America, and Germany were more similar
than different in the period 1922-1939. Thinkers in the three countries
were allied by friendship, by organizational ties, and by mutual reference
to each other's works.
(2)The American Eugenics Society is an important network of American
eugenicists connected with the English Eugenics Society (Galton Institute),
an important English/Commonwealth/ European eugenic network. The Society
survives and flourishes to the present day. Following a name change in
1973, it is now known as the Society for the Study of Social Biology.
The name change does not correspond to any alteration in the goals of the
Society.
(3)Eugenical thinkers in democracies presently use different tactics for
the implementation of eugenic goals than did the dictator Hitler. However,
democracy was and is, for eugenicists, merely a political obstacle course.
Eugenicists do not subscribe to the political culture of mutual respect
which corresponds to faith in democracy. This is shown by the employment
of systematic deceit as they pursue their goals in the political arena of
democracy.
(4)Eugenicists were embarrassed by Hitler. After the war, they instituted
various strategies to cover up the continued joint development of the
German, American, and English eugenic agendas. For example, they adopted
of the policy of "cryptoeugenics" or secret eugenics; and founded various
cover organizations such as the Population Council and the International
Planned Parenthood Federation. There is little evidence, however, that
American and English eugenicists learned any lesson from the German
debacle - except a lesson about public relations.
(5)The International Planned Parenthood Federation is one of a number of
organizations which (a) were wholly sympathetic with eugenic goals at the
time of their founding by eugenicists; (b) have carried out effective
eugenic programs since their founding; (c) present to the world a nominal
purpose which does not acknowledge a eugenic agenda. Shakespeare defined
the hypocrite as "the smiler with the knife" and "the smiler with the knife" is
wholly appropriate as a description of the hypocritical, eugenical
International Planned Parenthood Federation.
(6)The eugenic agenda is wicked and murderous, besides being presumptuous
and scientifically flawed. In pursuit of the illusion that they know how
to control and elevate human destiny by steering development of the gene
pool, eugenicists entertain methods of dealing with their fellows which
include murdering the weak, denying marriage to the "imperfect,"
discouraging the lonely and fragile from clinging to life, denigrating
romance and family life, and encouraging the denial of all human bonds of
mutual responsibility, care, and unselfish love.
(7)Eugenic leaders wish for secrecy with respect to their real agenda and
goals. This desire is probably based on a realistic estimate of their
support among their fellow men. It points up a weakness which can be
exploited by a eugenic watch. Nearly everyone revolts from eugenic ideas
once they hear the ideas clearly and accurately explained, and nearly
everyone objects to supporting the eugenic agenda, once they understand it.
The author's goal in writing this book is to lay out the institutions,
societies, and intellectual disciplines which have been founded by, governed
by or intellectually controlled by, members of the America Eugenics Society.
The object of this exercise is to encourage a healthy skepticism about the
likely purpose and effect of proposals put forth by these groups. For
example, Planned Parenthood is famous for its "efforts" to reduce teen
pregnancy, V.D., and the spread of AIDS. It is famous for its success,
however, only in reducing the number of live births to black and brown
parents. To know that Planned Parenthood was founded by eugenicists, such
as Margaret Sanger and Medora Bass of Philadelphia, is to receive some
enlightenment as to why PP continues, year after year, to fail so
spectacularly at its stated goals, while succeeding equally spectacularly
at fostering a supposed side effect.
The author believes it will be helpful to the development of a deeper
understanding of the current American context to document in this way, the
strands of influence traceable to individuals who belong to the complex
network of the American Eugenics Society.
Organization
Chapter Two sets out the pre and post Hitler goals of the Society. Chapter
Three presents background information such as Society name changes,
Society journals and Society presidents, and an alphabetical list of
members. Known members of the American Eugenics Society (past and present)
and their known accomplishments are listed in Chapter Four. The next
chapter is an Index. Finally, there is an epilogue.
Mary, Queen of Peace, pray for us.

2. AMERICAN EUGENICS SOCIETY: GOALS
Pre Hitler Goal: Race building by conscious selection backed by force
-=1926=-
[sterilization could] "be applied to an ever widening circle of social
discards, beginning always with the criminal, the diseased and the insane,
and extending gradually to types which may be called weaklings rather than
defectives, and perhaps ultimately to worthless race types" (from The Passing
of the Great Race by Madison Grant, co-founder American Eugenics Society)
Post Hitler Goal: Race building by "voluntary unconscious selection",
deception and manipulation
-=1956=-
"The very word eugenics is in disrepute in some quarters ... We must ask
ourselves, what have we done wrong?
"I think we have failed to take into account a trait which is almost
universal and is very deep in human nature. People simply are not willing
to accept the idea that the genetic base on which their character was formed
is inferior and should not be repeated in the next generation. We have
asked whole groups of people to accept this idea and we have asked
individuals to accept it. They have constantly refused and we have all but
killed the eugenic movement ... they won't accept the idea that they are in
general second rate. We must rely on other motivation. ... it is surely
possible to build a system of voluntary unconscious selection. But the
reasons advanced must be generally acceptable reasons. Let's stop telling
anyone that they have a generally inferior genetic quality, for they will
never agree. Let's base our proposals on the desirability of having
children born in homes where they will get affectionate and responsible
care, and perhaps our proposals will be accepted." (from "Galton and Mid
Century Eugenics" by Frederick Osborn, Galton Lecture 1956, in Eugenics
Review, vol. 48, 1, 1956)

3. Background Information Tables
Names of the Society 1922-1993:
Society for the Study of Social Biology 1973-
American Eugenics Society Inc. 1926-1973
American Eugenics Society 1925-1926

International Commission on Eugenics Ad Interim Committee of the United
States of America or "American Ad Interim Committee" 1921
*Formally, the Eugenics Committee of the United States of America was
distinct from the Eugenics Society of the United States because the
Committee was appointed by the Second International Congress. The only
action we know the Committee to have taken is the organization of the
Eugenics Society of the United States, which became the American Eugenics
Society. The Committee was dissolved when the American Eugenics Society
was incorporated; and the Committee funds were then transferred to the
Society.

Background:
In 1969 Arthur Jensen published an article which argued that
African-Americans have a genetically based intelligence deficiency which
makes it useless to attempt to improve their average academic achievement
to white levels. ("How much can we boost IQ and scholastic achievement"
1969, Harvard Educational Review, vol. 39, pp. 1-123) Controversy has
raged ever since. (see The Mismeasurement of Man. by Stephen Gould and
Not In Our Genes. by Richard Lewontin)
From the point of view of this list, the interesting thing
is that Jensen relied on eugenicists at all key points in his argument.
And, furthermore, he was most effectively attacked and refuted by other
eugenicists - namely, Richard Lewontin q.v. and L. S. Hearnshaw q.v. of
the English Eugenics Society (Cyril Burt: psychologist. 1979). Thus,
much of the debate was, and still is, framed by the eugenic societies.
Jensen continues to advance his point of view in the racist, eugenicist
magazine, Mankind Quarterly. His later work uses articles published by
C. J. Bajema. (see W.P. Draper)

Quotes:
--Racism:
Burch supported Margaret Sanger and birth control because
"I have long worked .... to prevent the American people from being
replaced by alien or Negro stock, whether it be by immigration or by
overly high birth rates among others in this country" (quoted in Chase p.
367)
--Eugenics and National Security:
"... if we are willing to keep the focus on undesirable
parentage ... then sterilization can play a rather large part in the
attainment of the peace goals" (from Human Breeding and Survival. 1947
quoted in Chase p. 369)
--Peace Through (White) Trash Disposal:
" What are the social bases on which sterilization might be
indicated in the program to attain peace goals ... Looking toward a
possibly economic test, are persons who are on relief to be encouraged to
reproduce while they are on relief as they have been? ... Are their
children more likely to be social burdens than are the children of those
who are in better control of their own environment? ... Is it reasonable
to ask other citizens to pay more in order that relief recipients may
reproduce? Is it reasonable to impose the heavier tax burden when that
additional pressure on many tax payers will be just enough to prevent

in Chase p. 369) According to Chase, Burch means that the whites who lost
their jobs in the Great Depression should be sterilized. Will Clinton
make similar proposals?

Quotes:
--Support for Nazi Policies as Eugenics:
1935 "Adolf Hitler ... guided by the nation's
anthropologists, eugenists and social philosophers, has been able to
construct a comprehensive racial policy of population development and
improvement ... it sets a pattern ... these ideas have met stout
opposition in the Rousseauian social philosophy ... which bases ... its
whole social and political theory upon the patent fallacy of human
equality ... racial consanguinity occurs only through edogamous mating or
interbreeding within racial stock ... conditions under which racial
groups of distinctly superior hereditary qualities ... have emerged" (The
New York Times, August 29, 1935)
--Aryans and Jews:
"the German Press quoted Dr. Campbell by the yard. Abroad
excited Jewish editors tried to dig up something against him ...
Socialite Campbell's boldest dicta: `The difference between the Jew and
the Aryan is as unsurmountable as that between black and white'" (Time,
Sept. 9, 1935, v. 26, #11, p. 21)

Davenport is a very significant figure in eugenics. But he mainly worked
through the Eugenics Research Association, The Eugenics Record Office and
the IFEO. This history is well covered in most eugenics histories. The
point I am trying to make is that the kinds of things Davenport did in
the Thirties continue to be done by the American Eugenics Society.
Histories that cover Davenport include In the Name of Eugenics, Kevles;
The Legacy of Malthus, Chase, Not In Our Genes, Lewontin; The
Mismeasurement of Man, Gould; The Nazi Connection, Kuhl)

from a Marxist point of view" from the Book Review Digest. 1940 p. 291
quoting Books. March 17, 1940 p. 19);
Background:
--Immigration:
The Alien in Our Midst supported the Johnson Act, the act which, for the
first time in American history, set immigration quotas.
"The Johnson Act quotas were kept inviolate until Pearl Harbor Day, 1941.
At least nine million human beings of what Galton and Pearson called
degenerate stock, two thirds of them the Jews Dr. Stoddard had
malignantly mislabeled as Central Asiatics posing as Semitic Hebrews,
continued to be denied sanctuary at our gates. They were all ultimately
herded into Nordic Rassenhygiene camps, where the race biologists in
charge made certain that they ceased to multiply. And ceased to be."
(Chase p. 360, commenting on The Alien in Our Midst)
--Marxism and eugenics by Engels:
"The whole Darwinist teaching of the struggle for existence is simply a
transference from society to living nature of Hobbes' doctrine of bellum
omnium contra omnes and of the bourgeois doctrine of competition together
with Malthus' theory of population. When this conjurer's trick has been
performed ... the same theories are transferred back again from organic
nature into history and it is now claimed that their validity as eternal
laws of human society has been proved. The puerility of this proceeding
is so obvious that not a word need be said about it" letter to P. L.
Lavrov, 12-17 November 1875 cited in Not In Our Genes: Biology, Ideology
and Human Nature. 1984 by R. C. Lewontin, Steven Rose, and Leon Kamin,
New York, Pantheon, p. 309
--Planned Parenthood and Race Building in 1940:
"The Annual Meeting [1940]
"The ANNUAL MEETING of the Birth Control Federation of
America ... will be in effect a three day forum on Race Building in a
Democracy. It will also mark the opening of the 1940 campaign of the
Federation under the auspices of a National Committee for Planned
Parenthood. ... The program includes the presentation of papers showing
the relationship of birth control to other efforts to improve the quality
of people in the United States....
"RACE BUILDING IN A DEMOCRACY: A SYMPOSIUM
"Seven vital phases of this subject, each of major
importance, will be presented on Tuesday afternoon, January 23rd.
Professor Henry Pratt Fairchild ... will preside. Mrs. Louis deB. Moore
is in charge of arrangements for this part of the meeting...

in a Democracy" and Dr. Woodbridge E. Morris will speak on the subject of
"A National Program for the United States" The meeting will mark the
opening of the Federation's 1940 financial campaign...
"Professor Fairchild, summarizing the addresses of the Symposium
presented January 23rd, will evaluate the significance of a birth control
program in relation to other important social efforts to improve the
general welfare.
"Dr. Morris, speaking on the national program, will discuss how the
Federation is prepared to assist in the application of the principles of
planned parenthood to the broad program of Race Building....
"CAMPAIGN NEWS
"... A new development of the [Birth Control Federation of America]
campaign this year ... is the effort now under way to enlarge the
Citizens Committee into a National Committee for Planned Parenthood. ...
everything promises an auspicious public launching of the effort [to

Quotes from The Passing of the Great Race
--Race and Immigration:
"... the New England manufacturer imported the Irish ... the immigrant
laborers are now breeding out their masters and killing by filth and
crowding as effectively as the sword ... Associated with this advance of
democracy and the transfer of power from the higher to the lower races,
we find the spread of socialism and the recrudescence of obsolete
religious forms" (from The Passing of the Great Race. quoted in Chase p.
167)
--Religion, Philanthropy and Eugenics:
"... Indiscriminate efforts to preserve babies among the lower classes
often results in serious injury to the race ... Mistaken regard for what
are believed to be divine laws and sentimental belief in the sanctity of
human life tend to prevent both the elimination of defective infants and
the sterilization of such adults as are themselves of no value to the
community" (from The Passing of the Great Race. quoted in Chase p. 171)
--Eugenics and the Jews:
"... the Polish Jew, whose dwarf stature, peculiar mentality and ruthless
concentration on self interest are being engrafted upon the stock of the
nation." (from The Passing of the Great Race. quoted in Chase p. 172)
--The real goals of sterilization:
sterilization could "... be applied to an ever widening circle of social
discards, beginning always with the criminal, the diseased and the
insane, and extending gradually to types which may be called weaklings
rather than defectives, and perhaps ultimately to worthless race types"
(from The Passing of the Great Race. quoted in Chase p. 172)

Quote:
--Race and Immigration:
rather than Nordics "who made up the bulk of our immigration before
1880, we have been receiving hordes of Poles, Southern Italians,
Greeks, Russians, especially Russian Jews, Hungarians, Slovaks,
and other southern Europeans - stocks less closely related to us
by blood than the Northern Europeans and less readily imbued with
the spirit of our institutions" Studies in Evolution and
Eugenics. quoted in Chase p. 605
(Compare with Eva Hubback of the English Eugenics Society
in her post war book, The Population of Great Britain. (1947, Penguin).
"In order to ensure that those who come [immigrate to Great Britain]
will make desirable citizens ... great care must be taken in the future
to see that only those are admitted who are physically and mentally sound
and free from any criminal record. The most desirable type will be ...
from countries the background of which will make it comparatively easy
for them to be assimilated ... Undoubtedly, the types of immigrant who
could be most easily assimilated would be those from the countries of
Northern Europe. But ... The bulk of any possible immigrants from Europe
are ... likely to be drawn from Italy and the Eastern European states ...
More difficult problems will be aroused by ... immigration from ... India
or China ... Even though their nationals may not actually be excluded -
particularly Indians who are fellow citizens of the Empire - still, it is
unlikely that they will be positively encouraged, at least so long as
there are strains nearer home from which to draw." (The Population of
Great Britain. pp. 245, 246)

Background:
Sterilization for being "white trash":
In 1924 Laughlin wrote a "Scientific Analysis" of Carrie Buck's heredity
for the Virginia State Colony for Epileptics and Feebleminded, which was
run by Supt. Bell. The analysis said that Carrie Buck and her mother
"... belong to the shiftless, ignorant and worthless class of anti-social
whites of the South ... the evidence points strongly toward the
feeblemindedness and moral delinquency of Carrie Buck being due,
primarily to inheritance ... 'a potential parent of socially inadequate
offspring'". As a result, the coercive sterilization of Carrie Buck was
approved by a Supreme Court which included W. H. Taft, Oliver Wendell
Holmes Jr. and Louis Brandeis. Justice Holmes received a letter from H.
Laski, a protege of Francis Galton, which, in referring to this decision,
said: "Sterilize all the unfit, among whom I include all fundamentalists"
(quoted in Chase, p. 316.)
The Buck v. Bell decision was cited in Roe. v. Wade. Consequently, at
present anyone who is a potential parent of socially worthless offspring,
especially "white trash", can be coercively sterilized or aborted if the
State wishes. Various decisions by the Court over the years from 1973 to
1993 have been carefully crafted to retain this right for the State while
seeming to uphold freedom of choice.
Background on International Labor Organization (ILO):
"this organization is primarily interested in the influence of changes of
populations on the standard of living generally ... employment ... and
... migration" ARTW, Nov. 1953

Significance:
The most significant figure in the Society from 1938 until his death in

the African Americans to Africa but did not consider it a practical
possibility

selection; Major General in Charge of Morale, World War II (this became
Information and Education); Morale is propaganda on the home front, so it
is here that he developed propaganda skills used in propaganda

Background:
Frederick Osborn "reformed" eugenics by proposing that eugenicists
conceal their true goal, which was, and is, to control human evolution by
limiting marriage and parenthood to the superior stocks. He believed
that less than ten percent of the population were worthy to have
children. But he proposed that eugenicists never mention their
conviction that most children should never have been born. Eugenicists
were to assert instead a hypocritical concern for the welfare of the
children of the inferior. This is the origin of Planned Parenthood's oft
repeated slogan "Every child a wanted child".
In reality, the eugenicists hope to manipulate the social and economic
climate so that children unwanted by the eugenicists will be miserable
and their miserable parents will "spontaneously" cease to want them.
Ceasing to have children due to manipulation by eugenicists is called
"voluntary unconscious selection" or, in other words, "CHOICE".
This project is laid out in the Galton lecture, "Galton and Mid Century
Eugenics" which Osborn delivered in 1956 (Appendix A).
In addition, Osborn was deeply involved with the Pioneer Fund. In 1939
the Pioneer Fund generously offered to guarantee a college education to
the child born to any Air Force officer in 1940 if the officer had three
children already. But memos from the Pioneer Fund show that a pre study
by John C. Flanagan had proved that such an offer would, in the majority
of cases, benefit white people whose ancestors were in America before the
Constitution was signed. Otherwise the offer would not have been made.
This is a model for the racism of Frederick Osborn. He made universal
offers which pre studies had shown would benefit white people the most.
In discussing "reform eugenics" he generally says that Madison Grant did
not have a scientific basis for his theories, which were the Aryan racism
of Count Gobineau. And he condemns the "propagandistic eugenics" of the
Thirties.
But he does not mean that he opposes racism. He means that a scientific
basis should be provided for the assertion that white "stock" is better.
He means that until the scientific basis has been provided, the
propaganda should not begin. In 1969 Arthur Jensen and others thought
that the work of Cyril Burt had provided such a basis. But Burt was
shown to be a fraud.
In 1992 J. P. Rushton, Linda Gottfredson (SSSB), H. J. Eysenck (ES), F.
J. C. McGurk (AES), and others from the Mankind Quarterly-
Aryan-supremacy axis are trying again. Races which did not struggle with
the glaciers in the Ice Age did not develop large brains (Zegura). These
"r" people have small heads (Hooten and Howell), large sex organs, low
IQ's (Univ. of Minnesota eugenic crowd), and criminal tendencies. (J. P.
Rushton, Federal Violence Initiative). They should be detected early and
given preventative treatment such as female hormones for the boys, male
hormones and for the girls (J. Richard Udry, Planned Parenthood, B.
Hamburg, D. Hamburger).
The American Eugenics Society had two goals: research and propaganda. In
the Thirties, the Eugenics Research Association did the research and the
American Eugenics Society did the propaganda. "Reform eugenics" simply
means that the American Eugenics Society is to do no propaganda until its
research is complete.
Even then the propaganda is not to be of the kind common in the Thirties.
No one is to be told that they are second rate.
Osborn or someone else had noticed that the left supported eugenics too.
Ever since John Stuart Mill the left had said that the work force should
be reduced in order to make the bosses pay more in wages while the right
had said that those on welfare should be reduced in order to lower taxes.
Really each side was talking about a different group.
But Osborn decided to adopt the language of the left in speaking of the
welfare group. As a result the left would support his proposals. If he
said that the number of babies should be reduced in order that the others
have more, the left could not argue with him. Or if he said that the
number of poor babies should be reduced in order to improve the
environment of the others, they couldn't argue.
In fact, pre studies had shown that this argument means "reduce the
number of African-Americans". Instead of combating the results of
racism, get rid of the "results of racism" i.e. the African-Americans.
So Mr. Pioneer Fund liked it. And it does not require a direct
confrontation; PR tricks, the eugenic strategy can come into play.
That is why Osborn was in the Pioneer Fund while appearing to oppose
racism in the American Eugenics Society without qualms of conscience.
There is no doubt he was a racist. He told Wickliffe Draper that he
sympathized with his wish to deport the African Americans. He was
President of the Pioneer Fund. He proposed a that the Pioneer Fund pay
for a study of the Puerto Ricans:
"1. A research program in differential fertility, public information and
family limitation in Puerto Rico, using Puerto Rico as an ideal set up
and testing ground. Most of the population is of very low quality* and
increasing rapidly in numbers. A study on how to control such a
population would have wide repercussions."
* "quality" is crossed out and "economic" is added and "level" is
substituted (see facing page) so that it is quite plain that "low
quality" and "low economic level" were synonyms for Osborn. In any case,
he wanted to encourage "good stock" so that when he talks of "how to
control such a population" it is clear that he thinks of the island as
"bad stock". It is, of course, Catholic.
Quotes:
To Wickliffe Draper:
"I still think our ultimate aims are very similar but I recognize that we
go about them in such different ways that it is very hard to find a
common ground." (on the occasion of resigning as President of the Pioneer
Fund, Jan. 14, 1956
from Osborn's 1968 book, The Future of Human Heredity:
On Eugenics:
--"An even more serious threat to the genetic equilibrium is the saving
of life through new medical techniques and improved public health
measures" Future of Human Heredity p. 81
--under Hitler "Eugenic proposals had been enacted into law without the
scientific evidence to support them" Future of Human Heredity, p. 86;
"The old proposals had no solid scientific basis; the newer eugenic
policies are based on recent large-scale studies of population trends in
this country and on the recent findings of geneticists, sociologists, and
psychologists ... The new eugenic policies do not give offense ...
Everyone wants children to be wanted children ... Future of Human
Heredity p. 105
--"Heredity clinics are the first eugenic proposals that have been
adopted in a practical form and accepted by the public. ... The word
eugenics is not associated with them." Future of Human Heredity p. 91
--"... at a level somewhat above that of the mentally deficient, there
are a substantial number of families among whom employment is irregular,
who are constantly on and off relief ... their birth rate is high ...
probably as many as half their children result from pregnancies that are
not wanted at the time, or ever, by one or both parents ... A reduction
in the number of their unwanted children would further both the social
and biological improvement of the population" Future of Human Heredity p.
93-94
-- "People ... won't accept the idea that they are in general, second
rate. We must rely on other motivation ... a system of voluntary
unconscious selection ... Let's base our proposals on the desirability of
having children born in homes where they will get affectionate and
responsible care ...(so that eugenics) ...will move at last towards the
high goal which Galton set for it."(from Galton lecture by Frederick
Osborn ER 1956-57, p. 21-22; also quoted in Obit, Bulletin of the Eugenic
Society, 1981 p. 47...)
---- "Eugenic goals are most likely to be attained under a name other
than eugenics" Future of Human Heredity p. 104
--"The most important eugenic policy at this time is to see that birth
control is made equally available to all individuals in every class of
society" (1968) Future of Human Heredity p. 98
--He saw " fluctuations of birth rates and gene pools not as competition
between super races subject to emotional value judgments, but as the
results of natural events, and as subject to study and verification as
any other natural process" (his son on Osborn quoted in Obit, Bulletin of
the Eugenic Society 1981 p. 47)
--"environmental pressures... there is certainly a possibility that these
pressures can be given a better direction and can be brought to bear on a
majority of the population instead of a minority" (from "The Eugenic
Hypothesis (i) Positive Eugenics")
..."social and psychological pressures brought to bear on young people
and parents" (from "The Eugenic Hypothesis (ii) Negative Eugenics" p. 97)
Purpose of the Eugenics Society:
"...to seek out the genetically valuable individuals ... with the attempt
to reduce births among the less valuable"
Means:
1. Manipulate the Environment "... environmental pressures ... there is
certainly a possibility that these pressures can be given a better
direction and can be brought to bear on a majority of the population
instead of a minority" "... social and psychological pressures brought
to bear on young people and parents" "... if we can succeed in giving
direction to social forces which will effect this kind of environmental
selection" "selection based on early success in responding to the
environment"
2. Manipulate Attitudes "the new methods for gathering objective data on
individual and group attitudes and motivations and their statistical
analysis ... (are) ... tools for working on some of the possible
applications of science to human affairs" "... the proposal ... would
be put forward on the ground that more children would grow up in the best
home environments, with no public argument made for eugenics." (Source:
"The Eugenic Hypothesis" (1) Positive Eugenics (2) Negative Eugenics ER
April & July 1952; "Galton and Mid Century Eugenics" Galton Lecture 1956)
3. Supply Contraceptives and Abortion "... there are means of selection
which do not require that we humiliate ... when family planning has
spread to all members of the population and means of effective
contraception are readily available ..." couples will have children in
relation to their income, that is, in relation to their socially valuable
qualities.
The Eugenic Hypothesis: This holds that social situations can be so
manipulated that the wrong sort of people will "choose" not to have the
children. For example, Robert Moses refused to put any money into parks
in Harlem as Robert Caro has shown in his biography of Moses, Robert
Moses and the Fall of New York.
Now blacks are aborting their children because Harlem is not a good place
to raise them. If this had been done by Rockefeller or Harriman it would
be an application of the eugenic hypothesis; it is a perfect example of
how the theory would work in practice. However it was not done by them.
It was done by Robert Moses - while they were Governors of New York.

Background:
In 1990 in "The Measurement of Wanted Fertility", Population Council
Working Paper #10, Bongaarts developed a new method of measuring "wanted
fertility". He applied this method to 48 surveys from developing
countries and concluded that 26% of fertility is unwanted. (Population
Council Index, v. 56, #2, F.4.4.). This piece of "data" is the basis for
many statements about the need for contraception and abortion world wide.
Analysing Bongaarts' method is an area where research is needed.

Background: The Minnesota Twin Study claimed to demonstrate a high

readers of Fortune. "... high heritabilities make it harder to relate
[status] to privileged environments. Such figures are also bad news for
social engineers with schemes to equalize IQ's, e.g. via early
intervention in the lives of children with low scoring parents. The
higher the heritability, the harder it to believe that the kids can be
turned into middle class professionals. ... the liberal media keep
looking for environmental explanations of IQ ... [which] is a stunning
howler, deserving to be cataloged with flat earth views about our planet
... the Bouchard data look threatening only to egalitarian
doctrinaires." Daniel Seligman, "Keeping Up", Fortune, Nov. 19, 1990.

Background:
friend of Margaret Sanger; read Plato's Republic in college; married into
the family of Charles Francis Brush (Charles Francis Brush 1849-1929;
invented arc lamp used for street lighting in Cleveland; founded Brush
Electric Company; became rich); founded Maternal Health Association of
Cleveland; Charles Francis Brush Jr. died; Married Alexander Dick,

Jewish Emigration under Hitler
Dorothy Brush was an aunt of Juliet Rublee, who was an owner of the Birth
Control Review 1919; Juliet Rublee's husband, George Rublee, was charged
by the League of Nations with the task of attempting to extricate 650,000
Jews and 75,000 German Catholics from Hitler's Germany in 1938. An
impossible job - but was he the best man? After all, Margaret Sanger's
Birth Control Review allowed Professor Ernst Rudin to publish an article
on sterilization in 1932. Rudin went on to help write Hitler's race
laws, the laws leading to the desire of the Jews to get out of Germany.
RCAR and the Brush Foundation:
after Mrs. Brush's death, the Brush Foundation for Race Betterment gave
money to the Religious Coalition for Abortion Rights (RCAR)
Brush Foundation, IPPF and Racial Hygiene:
"To those of us who have reason to be grateful to the Brush Foundation
for Race Betterment (USA) - not least among them the readers of this News
[the IPPF newsletter, Around the World News of Population and Birth
Control] - the publication of a brochure marking the thirtieth
anniversary of the Brush Foundation will be of interest... $500,000, the
income of which only can be used, was placed in the hands of the
Cleveland (Ohio) Trust Company. Mr. Brush's grandson, Mr. Maurice
Perkins, gave $250,000 with no restriction on the use of capital ... it
is from this fund that the Brush Foundation has recently allocated to the
IPPF $25,000 for each of two years for pioneer projects... In 1948 ....
the Foundation provided the bulk of the funds necessary to establish an
international planned parenthood office, which is now the IPPF
Headquarters office. A subsidy, which in 1955 was increased to $5,000,
has been made annually for its operating expenses. The Foundation
contributed to the organizational expenses of both the Bombay and Tokyo
Conferences under IPPF auspices in 1952 and 1955. It also underwrites
this bulletin to the extent of $10,000 a year. The total amount to June
30, 1957, expended by the Brush Foundation in support of the IPPF was
approximately $106,000 (33,855 British pounds). The Brush Foundation has
recently joined with the Watumull Foundation of Hawaii in an effort to
raise further funds for the IPPF.... among the research projects [other
than the IPPF] listed in the brochure are an enquiry into the growth and
development of the well-born child ($266,000), virus research ($250,000),
assistance to the Maternal Health Association of Cleveland ($97,000) and
research in human reproduction including assistance to the Cleveland
Infertility Clinic. ($136,000)" (ARTW, Dec. 1957)
A "Review of Third Annual Report of the IPPF" in the IPPF newsletter
(ARTW) included the following statements:"... the generous increase in
the grant made by the Brush Foundation from $3,000 to $5,000 a year as
from May 1955 for the maintenance of Headquarters ... A well-merited
tribute is paid to the punctilious - and always punctual - work done by
Mrs. Dorothy Brush as editor of the News from 1952 to 1956 ... reports
from three of its member organizations ... Australia: The Racial Hygiene
Association of Australia, affiliated to the American Social Hygiene
Association ... family planning, premarital counseling, marriage
guidance, sex education and the promotion of eugenics ... Ceylon: ...
only those contraceptive methods approved by the IPPF are recommended by
the [Family Planning Association of Ceylon]... Financial aid has also
been made available by Dr. Clarence Gamble through the National Committee
on Maternal Health (New York) ... Pakistan:... In 1955 Mr. Justice
Muhammad Munir, Chief Justice of Pakistan, honored the [Family Planning
Association of Pakistan] by becoming its president." ARTW, Dec. 1957

Sociology. 1924 w/ R. Park, Univ. of Chicago Press (reprinted 1929). One
of Burgess's most important works, a classic, set new directions in
sociology. It was used with a type of psychology based on the work of
William James and developed by John Dewey and George Mead. This saw the
self as formed by interaction with others. Burgess saw collective
behavior as a "circular reaction" in which each self reacts by mirroring
the action or sentiments of another which intensifies the first person's
reaction. So propaganda, psychological warfare, social marketing and
advertising are simply four ways to mold this plasticity in a good
direction. Ed note)

of the League and its Medical Adviser, who is Chief of Obstetrics and
Surgery at Yale University was arrested; on 2nd January 1962, Dr. Buxton

biomedical research into human reproduction or Third World family

Quotes:
1972 Artificial insemination "could ... produce in a single generation
quite drastic changes in height, intelligence, or any other quantitative
trait with a high heritability if it were widely applied ... [does a
parent] have an inalienable right to produce a child that is
uneducable?... The right to reproduce at will is regarded as a basic
human right. I cannot see this remaining true much longer ... world wide
control of birthrates is an absolute necessity ... If this is achieved
with wide public acceptance, then some concern over differential
reproduction is also in order.
The means of eugenics are becoming acceptable. Abortion ... Artificial
insemination ... birth control ... There is no unanimity now as to what
constitutes positive eugenic goals ... We would surely agree that variety
is to be preferred to uniformity ... as a hedge against unforseen
contingencies in the future ... Negative aims ... for the genes causing
muscular dystrophy, hemophilia, Tay-Sachs disease and the Lesch-Nyhan
syndrome to become extinct ... the question is one of means ... We have
Nazi Germany as a horrible example of how badly such a program can go
wrong ... I want to see the subject [of negative eugenics] discussed. If
eugenics is a dirty word we can find something else that means the same
thing" from "Conclusion" by Crow in Proc. of a symposium, Advances in

Report , Vol. 2 Biobehavioral Perspectives of Violence, Discussed in "The
Biology of Violence, BioScience, May 1994. This report discusses work
done at the Institute of Behavior Genetics in Colorado, which is headed
by John C. Defries. The Institute says that genes contribute to alcohol
and drug abuse in individuals with an anti-social personality disorder.
The Report also discusses fetal exposure to testosterone. According to
the BioScience article the Report says that "girls who were accidentally
exposed to androgenic steroids in utero showed an increased tendency to
be more aggressive than their peers whereas boys who were accidentally
exposed to anti androgenic steroids were not as aggressive as their
peers" ("The Biology of Violence, BioScience, May 1994)

Quote:
--Eugenics, democracy and social reform:
"in other animals, [that is,
other than man, Ed note] where experimentation is possible, it has been
clearly shown that there are inheritable factors that determine the
limits of intellectual ability ... In all cases ... studies indicate that
as long as our present social organization [i.e. democracy, Ed note]
continues there will be a slow but continuous downward trend in the
average intelligence ... Every time a philanthropist sets up a foundation
to look for a cure for a certain disease he thereby threatens humanity
eugenically ... Again consider the matter of charity. When one saves a
starving man, one may thereby help him breed more children ... It is not
possible to avoid eugenic action; every time we support a charity, endow
a research institute, or promulgate a new taxation scheme, our actions
whether good or bad, have eugenic consequences, however unconscious we
may be of them." from chapter "Man: Evolution in the Future" in Biology:
its human implications. quoted in Chase p. 372 , 374
--Eugenics and coercion:
"Freedom in a commons brings ruin to all ... to
couple the concept of freedom to breed with the belief that everyone has
a born equal right to the commons is to lock the world into a tragic
course of action" (from "Tragedy of the Commons" quoted in Chase p. 393)
In actual fact, the theft of the commons by the British elite enriched
them and ruined the peasant class of England.

Kallmann, Prof. Dr. Franz J.- 1952, 1954-65
Founder of medical genetics in the United States; trained in Germany
under the Rudin, who helped write the race laws; b. 1897 Neumarket,
Germany; d. May 12, 1965; MD Breslau 1919; Ass't psychiatric univ.
clinics Breslau-Berlin 1919-27; Director, neuropathology lab, Berlin
Herzeberge and Berlin-Wuhlgarten, also research fellow Max Planck (Kaiser
Wilhelm) Institute of Psychiatry, Munich 1928-35; believed that
schizophrenia and tuberculosis were genetically based.
(Max Planck = Kaiser Wilhelm because the Kaiser Wilhelm Society was
renamed the Max Planck Society after World War II. Thus, Prof. Kallmann
was working at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute with Rudin, the architect of
Hitler's laws, before the war. But if you want to trace Rudin or
Kallmann you must look for "Max Planck" as well as "Kaiser Wilhelm". The
Kaiser Wilhelm/ Max Planck Society has a very distinguished record in
physics and other "hard" sciences. The biological/anthropological
section was connected with experiments at Auschwitz but seems to be
sheltered by its connection with the other institutes.)
Kallmann was half Jewish so lost his position under later Nazi laws; came
to USA 1936; New York State Psychiatric Institute (Geneticist 1936-51,
chief of psychiatric research 1952-65); Columbia University (Prof. of

Tubercular Twins" 1943 American Review of Tuberculosis, v. 47; The
Genetics of Schizophrenia: a study of Heredity and Reproduction in the
families of 1087 schizophrenics, NY 1938. (The first edition of The
Genetics of Schizophrenia was printed in Germany and New York. One year
later a full scale plan of mental health exterminations was under way in
Germany because it had been "proved" that mental disease was hereditary.
Kallmann's work was part of this "proof". The personnel trained in these
exterminations went on to the Holocaust camps in the 1940's.)
Background:
"Dr. Franz J. Kallmann, who was formerly associated with Dr. Ernst Rudin,
investigating in genetic psychiatry, is now attached to the Psychiatric
Institute and Hospital, New York, where he is doing research work in the
same field." EN 1938 p. 34
"The picture of Kallmann as a bleeding heart protector of schizophrenics,
adjusting his scientific theories to mirror his compassion, is
grotesquely false. The first Kallmann publication on schizophrenia is in
a German volume edited by Harmsen and Lohse that contains the proceedings
of the frankly Nazi International Congress for Population Science.
There, in Berlin, Kallmann argued vigorously for the sterilization of the
apparently healthy relatives of schizophrenics, as well as of
schizophrenics themselves. ... The eugenicist views of Kallmann were not
confined to obscure Nazi publications but were also made widely available
in English after his arrival in the United States in 1936. In 1938 he
wrote of schizophrenics as a 'source of maladjusted crooks, asocial
eccentrics, and the lowest type of criminal offenders. Even the faithful
believer in ... liberty would be much happier without those ... I am
reluctant to admit the necessity of different eugenic programs for
democratic and fascistic communities ... there are neither biological nor
sociological differences between a democratic and a totalitarian
schizophrenic.' The extremity of Kallmann's totalitarian passion for
eugenic sterilization was clearly indicated in his major 1938 text.
Precisely because of the recessivity of the illness, it was above all
necessary to prevent the reproduction of the apparently healthy children
and siblings of schizophrenics.... These views of the future President of
the American Society of Human Genetics are so bloodcurdling that one can
sympathize with the efforts of present day geneticists to misrepresent or
suppress them." from Not in Our Genes., 1984, Richard Lewontin and
others. pp. 208-9.
Significance:
To understand the significance of Kallmann, look in the Index under the
entry American Society of Human Genetics. Note the number of American
Eugenics Society members who were members of the American Society of
Human Genetics. Reflect on the fact that Leo Alexander, Otmar Freiherr
von Verschuer, Hans Nachtsheim, Fritz Lenz and Hans Gunther were all
members in 1954 of Kallmann's Society. Realize that this same Society
dominates the Human Genome Project. Become aware that this Society has
developed hundreds of prenatal tests but does not look for cures though
every test is hyped in the newspapers as a potential lead towards a cure.
Finally, be prepared.
This Society has gained complete control of the field of medical genetics
(negative eugenics) which field the American Medical Society has recently
recognized as a specialty. Authoritative "Board certified" American
voices could soon be saying what Hitler, with Kallmann's help, said once
before.
"Hitler's arithmetic", which was another name for containing health care
costs through health care reform, could circulate among us again.
Someone might explain that they wish to be good to the (productive)
American people.

Background:
Marxism and Eugenics: Engels said: "The whole Darwinist teaching of the
struggle for existence is simply a transference from society to living
nature of Hobbes' doctrine of bellum omnium contra omnes and of the
bourgeois doctrine of competition together with Malthus's theory of
population. When this conjurer's trick has been performed ... the same
theories are transferred back again from organic nature into history and
it is now claimed that their validity as eternal laws of human society
has been proved. The puerility of this procedure is so obvious that not
a word need be said about it." letter to P. L. Lavrov, 12-17 November
1875 cited in Not In Our Genes: Biology, Ideology and Human Nature. 1984
by R. C. Lewontin, Steven Rose, and Leon Kamin, New York, Pantheon, p.
309
This quotation neatly sums up a problem in the history of eugenics. On
the one hand there have been Marxist eugenicists. They are chiefly
responsible for exposing Cyril Burt's fraud, though it was L. S.
Hearnshaw's book that put the matter beyond doubt. On the other hand, it
would seem that, in the nature vs. nurture controversy, Marxism is the
classic example of a "nurture" theory while eugenics is a "nature"
theory. How then are we to account for the existence of Marxist
eugenicists such as J. B. S. Haldane, Theodosius Dobzhansky, and Richard
Lewontin? Why are they members of a society dedicated to the theories of
Adam Smith as filtered through Darwin? Engels himself pointed out that
Darwin's theories were those of Adam Smith. (see above quotation supplied
by Lewontin)
It seems to me that we must remember that J. S. Mill was the father of
both conservative and communist economics in England. In 1973
Solzhenitsyn at Harvard pointed out the same thing: that those involved
in the "nature vs. nurture" controversy are two wings of one materialist
movement, each trying to devour the other. The Orthodox or Roman
Catholic position, that man has a spiritual soul, is almost entirely
outside this controversy between materialists. Consequently, men such as
Lewontin will appear to attack eugenics itself when, in reality, they are
only attacking what they see as a right wing deformation of eugenics.
Lewontin, for example, argues for a "dialectical explanation" (i.e.
leftist) of man and biology as opposed to a "reductionist" (i.e.
rightist) sociobiology.
And so we cannot expect Lewontin and others to adopt a right to life
point of view. Instead we will find them manfully demolishing right wing
eugenics while manfully swallowing, ignoring and denying that of the
left. Should they come to power they will bring in eugenics just as
quickly as the right. In fact, eugenics usually becomes legislation when
a left wing government is in power and, as in England in 1966, it votes
with the right wing on an issue such as abortion. The same thing is
happening with Clinton.

Personal:
New York City 1941-51; Pres., New York State Birth Control Federation
1940; Chmn. of the Board, American Birth Control League 1937, 1938
Background:
--The Birth Control Review: The Birth Control Review was originally
edited by Margaret Sanger, volume one appearing in 1917. (In the Woman
Rebel, a previous journal, she published articles supporting presidential
assassination and bombings; she herself advocated birth control in the
same issue. For this she was prosecuted under the Comstock laws.) From
December 1921 to January 1939 the American Birth Control League published
the Birth Control Review. From February 1939 to January 1940 the Birth
Control Federation of America (which renamed itself Planned Parenthood
Federation of America in 1942) published the Review. The last issue of
the Birth Control Review (January, 1940) describes the annual meeting of
the Birth Control Federation. Its theme was "Race Building in a
Democracy".
--The American Birth Control League and Planned Parenthood:
"The US. agencies best known internationally for family planning are the
Margaret Sanger Research Bureau and the Planned Parenthood Federation of
America. Foreigners occasionally ask how they differ.
The Bureau
"Founded 33 years ago by Margaret Sanger, the Bureau housed the largest
birth control clinic in America. ... departments of research, infertility
aid and ... marriage counseling ...
The Federation
"An outgrowth of the American Birth Control League (1922), the Planned
Parenthood Federation of America was organized in 1942 for education,
maintenance of standards etc. and to serve and bind together 111
affiliated state and local centers throughout the country. ... The
Federation is dedicated to increasing public understanding of responsible
family life under the credo: To be wanted is the birthright of every ..."
(ARTW, May 1956)
--Birth Control Federation of America: "Forward Under One Banner The
birth control movement in the United States now marches forward with
complete unity. its leadership and resources fused in one new national
organization. The Birth Control Federation of America was formed on
January 18 [1939] through a merger of the Birth Control Clinical Research
Bureau with the American Birth Control League and its state member
leagues throughout the country. The New York City Committee of Mothers
Health Centers has also merged its activities with those of the
Federation."
"Expansion and intensification of the movement will follow this joining
of forces. The two national organizations had always had common
objectives ... The Federation is fortunate in having the leadership of
Margaret Sanger as honorary chairman and an active member of the board of
directors, and of Dr. Richard Pierson as chairman of the board and
president pro tem. The National Medical Council on Birth Control will
serve in an advisory capacity for the Federation."
"The aims and program of the Federation are outlined in this issue [of
the Birth Control Review, Ed.] on page 164 ... "
Department Functions of the Federation p. 164 "The Federation will
maintain two offices - one situated at 501 Madison Avenue, New York (the
League's former headquarters) and the other at 17 West 16th Street, New
York (the former headquarters of the Birth Control Clinical Research
Bureau). ("Feb./ March 1939, Birth Control Review, vol. XXIII, #5-6)

the Economic and Social Council which he later headed
Destruction of Family:
Notestein argued that "the destruction of the large traditional family
was necessary not only for the indirect effect on economic growth via the
reduction of fertility but also for its direct effect in producing a
society more attuned to the moden economy", according to John Caldwell
(q.v.) in Limiting Population Growth and the Ford Foundation , (1986) p.
26. He cites "Economic Problems of Population Change" by Notestein in
8th International Conference of Agricultural Economists, 1953 as an
example of Notestein's reasoning. He says this paper argued for
"experimental social engineering." (1986 Caldwell, p. 26)

--Racism and Mankind Quarterly:
C. P. Oliver was on the Mankind Quarterly Editorial Advisory Board (see
Vol. 1, #1, 1960). The goals of Mankind Quarterly were to reverse the
ideas of equality which were spreading and leading to school
desegregation. "during the last two decades there has been a decided
tendency to neglect the racial aspects of man's inheritance for the
social ... they are unduly influenced by political and ethical
conceptions current in many circles today ... we are helping correct a
serious imbalance ..." Editorial on Goals, Mankind Quarterly, Vol. 1, #1,
1960; "... persistent attempts to force school integration on the South,
against their opposition on the grounds that separate schools are better
for both races ... American anthropologists were responsible for
introducing equalitarianism into anthropology, ignoring the hereditary
differences between races, and even among individuals, until the
uninstructed public were gradually misled." review by RR Gates and Gayre

Background
Behavioral Genetics:
(see 1990 "The Role of Inheritance in Behavior", Science, April 3, 1990,
p. 183 ff; which explains the theory of quantitative behavioral genetics
and Plomin' s plans for us. e.g., "Behavior is in the vanguard of
evolution ...Genetic analysis of behavioral dimensions and disorders is
especially difficult ... why should scientists bother with behavior if it
is so complex? The answer lies in the importance of behavior per se ...
Some of society's most pressing problems, such as drug abuse, mental
illness, and mental retardation are behavior problems. Behavior is also
the key in health as well as illness ... The essence of quantitative
genetic theory is that Mendel's laws of discrete inheritance also apply
to ... complex characteristics [such as behaviors] if we assume that many
genes, each with small effect, combine to produce observable differences
in a population ... An exciting direction for genetic research on
behavior is the identification of genes responsible for genetic variance
on (sic) behavior ... The human genome project ... one of the many
benefits of the project will be the identification of more markers and
genes that might play a role in genetic variation in behavior ...
genetic variance rarely accounts for as much as half of the variance of
behavioral traits ... In conclusion, the use of molecular biology
techniques will revolutionize behavioral genentics, and the quantitative
genetic perspective of behavioral genetics will transform our use of
these techniques as we continue to explore the role of inheritance in
themost complex of phenotypes, behavior"

Background:
Genetic Counseling, WHO Report and the Dight Institute:
"It was my privilege to provide the agenda for the 1968 (WHO) meeting
which led to this (WHO Technical Report on genetic counseling) report ...
Chaired by Prof. J. A. Book (q.v.)... the milestone at which genetic
counseling became official on a world wide basis." "History of Genetic
Counseling" Social Biology 1974, p. 337; "My life long emphasis on the
practical aspects of human genetics" Dight Bulletin # 16 p. iii, 1978
Symposium on Genetic Counseling in Minnesota, (inclu. counseling at Mayo
Clinic where Blackmun was counsel 1950-60); "my practice of divorcing the
two concepts of eugenics and genetic counseling contributed to the rapid
growth of genetic counseling. Genetic counseling would have been
rejected, in all probability, if it had been presented as a technique of
eugenics... In Nazi Germany, an attempt was made to use human genetics
for the benefit of the State... in my concept (it) is a type of social
work entirely for the benefit of the whole family without direct concern
for its effect upon the state or politics." "History of Genetic
Counseling" Social Biology Vol. 21, #4, 1974
--Coercive implications of eugenic sponsorship of genetic counseling:
Compare these two statements: (one from 1954, the other from 1991)
(1): 1954 "The base for negative eugenics is being laid by a group of
medical geneticists here and in other countries. Public health will
require that it be followed up by practical applications very soon after
the scientific justification has been demonstrated. "The Role of the
American Eugenics Society" EQ, Vol. 1 #1 1954 (not by Sheldon Reed)
(2.): 1991 "If a limitation on public support for potentially healthy
children is the law of the land, an even stronger case can be made to
restrict public support for children with severe genetic disorders.
There are many fanciful and theoretical back doors to eugenics, but
Dandridge v. Williams is real ... indirect coercion of pregnant women by
the state, insurance companies, employers, the family or friends may be
just as effective" (as mandated pregnancy screening, Ed note) Am J. Human

Background:
Norplant, Copper-T IUD:
The Population Council's Center for Biomedical Research at the
Rockefeller University developed NORPLANT and the copper-T IUD. "Ethical
issues surrounding NORPLANT use continue to concern Dr. Segal, who, as
original creator of the implant, [ed. bold] is frequently called upon for
statements" (Population Council Annual Report 1991, p. 70). In 1991 Dr.
Segal is leading team studying gossypol, an anti viral, antifertility,
anti cancer substance. "Estimates of contraceptive use required to meet
United Nations projections on fertility decline in less developed
countries reveal that the use of IUDs and oral contraceptives will need
to be sharply increased ... To achieve this increase requires that
interest in and access to each of these methods be enhanced considerably
throughout the developing world. In the case of IUDs, this will
necessitate a re-evaluation of the method by policy makersa and program
implementers to counter the unwarranted bias against IUD use that
prevails in many countries." (Population Council Annual Report, 1991, p.
72). Valerie Beral of the English Eugenics Society wrote an article
defending IUDs. The validity of her statistical methods is an area in
which research is needed. In particular, the use of the total number
ectopic pregnancies to evaluate the risk of ectopic pregnancy to women
who do not use IUDS seems questionable, if IUDs have increased the risk
of ectopic pregnancies. Yet this is how Dr. Beral seems to procede.

Background:
--Race Differences in Intelligence. concluded that differences in scores
on IQ tests among "racial-ethnic groups" reflected test biases,
environmental differences, and genetic differences. The report, written
by three members of the American Eugenics Society, concluded that: "A
rather wide range of positions concerning the relative weight to be given
to the three factors can reasonably be taken on the basis of the current
evidence, and a sensible person's position might well differ for
different abilities, for different groups and different tests." This
apparently "reasonable" position leaves room for the most virulently
racist attitudes, such as those of the "Mankind Quarterly". Many of
"Mankind Quarterly' s" editors and contributors were eugenic society
members. This was still true in 1993.
--Wenner Gren:
Wenner Gren was a Swedish industrialist who bought Bofors, the Swedish
arms company from Krupp. He was blacklisted by the Allies during World
War II as a Nazi sympathizer. He set up the Viking Fund, which became
the Wenner Gren Foundation.

Man. 1959 w/ Theodosius Dobzhansky q.v., New York, Holt
Background: Wallace irradiated a fruit fly population to learn about the
detrimental effects of radiation on average fitness but the fitness of
the mutated population was higher than the control population. He has
been studying this "Wallace effect" for the last forty years. it
contradicts the basic assumptions of the theory of genetic load.
"Wallace showed that the load decreased yet ... (the community of
population geneticists) clung to Haldane's paradigm. So much for the
scientific method. ... No progress has been made in our understanding of
the mechanism for the increase in viability. ... He (Wallace, ed. note)
doesn't seem to have come to grips with the concept (of the mean fitness
of a population, ed. note) after more than forty years of effort, nor has
anyone else. For me the obvious conclusion is that population genetics
theory has nothing of substance to say about the mean fitness of
population. ... We cannot hope to predict through purely theoretical
arguments whether these changes will improve or depreciate the situation
of the population. Given the extraordinary importance attached to the
fundamental theorem of natural selection and the current spate of
evolutionarily -stable-strategy arguments, this conclusion will be viewed
as heretical. Yet if Wallace's book is telling us anything, it is that
something is very wrong with the population geneticists' obsession with
the mean fitness of a population" book review by John H. Gillespie,

1961
--Eugenics: "Man as a species for experimental study [on congenital
anomalies] is almost hopeless. He marries for love, not eugenic reasons"
(1961 "Human Congenital Anomalies: Present Status of Knowledge", Apgar,
American Journal of Diseases of Children, v. 101, #2, Feb., p. 250)
--Folic Acid: Cure for Spina Bifida Overlooked "... Thiersch ... has used
aminopterin, a folic acid antagonist to produce abortion in young women
with active tuberculosis. If too small a dose of the chemical is
administered and abortion is not produced, there is a 100% incidence of
abnormal offspring ... There is no real proof that an ample diet during
pregnancy is accompnaied by healthier infants ... Penrose and Stevenson
[ES] are especially active in epidemiological investigations in Great
Britain and Ireland in relation to congenital malformations. There is a
surprising incidence of anencephaly in Dublin, exceeding that of Paris by
a ratio of 20:1" , ("Human Congenital Anomalies: Present Status of
Knowledge", Apgar, American Journal of Diseases of Children, v. 101, #2,
Feb., p. 251) In 1991 it was discovered that lack of folic acid in the
mother's diet caused the condition. The World War II diet reduced spina
bifida and anencephaly in Britain so there was evidence in 1945 that diet
affected these conditions. But this link was ignored for forty five
years. There is no reason for most of the cases of spina bifida since
the war except the fixation of Stevenson, Apgar, C.O. Carter and other
eugenicists on a genetic explanation together with their dominant
position in the groups such as the March of Dimes. But such tragedies
will be repeated as long as eugenicists control these groups.)
--Cleft Palate: "excessive cortisone in mice is a reproducible way to
produce cleft palate" ("Human Congenital Anomalies: Present Status of

of the mentally unfit ... a biological house cleaning ... is long overdue
... then perhaps civilization may advance with the survival of the
fittest" (from 1938 "The Moron Menace to Civilization", Birth Control
Review, p. 53)
Background:
1940 "We, too, recognize the problem of race building ... It is entirely
fitting that 'Race Building in a Democracy' should have been chosen as
the theme of the ANNUAL MEETING of the Birth Control Federation of
America" from an editorial by Woodbridge Morris, Director, Birth Control
Federation of America in the Birth Control Review, January 1940, vol.

Quotes:
Statement of the Eugenic Conservation Ethic: "The problem of man's place
in nature ... is the problem of the relations between man's developing
culture and other aspects of the biosphere. ... This makes the split
between the social and biological sciences particularly unfortunate.
Economics and ecology ... as fields of knowledge ... are cultivated in
remotely separated parts of our universities ... the humanities (have)
long forgotten about nature ... Surely there is some way of putting all
these things together ... The matter has some urgency ... we can create
... we can produce ... we have achieved ... control ... yet ... attempts
to look at man's future are gloomy ... continuing warfare ... dizzy rate
of population growth, and the exhaustion of resources ... we have lost
the faith of the Eighteenth Century ... and the .. faith of the
Nineteenth Century ... Man can't change the laws of cultural evolution or
organic evolution ... but understanding the laws and acting with the laws
he can influence the consequences ... the long term threat is the
cancerous multiplication of the numbers of men ... we must make every
effort to maintain diversity ... Science has undermined the dogmas and
revelations ... a rationale for conduct ... will have to consider not
only the problems of man's conduct with his fellow man, but also man's
conduct toward nature ... we need to develop an ecological conscience"
(The Forest and the Sea p. 250 -257)
Background:
Eugenics is often advanced by families. For example, the Osborn family
(Henry Fairfield Osborn, Fred Osborn, Fairfield Osborn, John Jay Osborn)
is related to the Dodge family (Cleveland E. Dodge) and to Newell Brown.
In England this tendency is very marked, especially in relation to the
Darwin family. The Darwin are related to the Wedgwoods, the Huxleys, the
Keynes (the family of John Maynard Keynes), the Langdon Downs (the family
of the discoverer of Downs syndrome), the Brains, the Adrians, the
Arthurs (the family of the doctor who starved to death John Pearson, a
Downs syndrome baby), and the Barlows. According to Philip Bloom of the
English Eugenics Society, the Darwins and other family grouping like them
run England. (see Uncommon Families)
Similarly, Bates' wife was a descendant of Alexander Graham Bell, a
family which has always been much involved in eugenics.
Alexander Bell himself supported eugenics. The National Geographic
magazine is controlled by his descendants, the Grosvenors. The National
Geographic has been advocating contraception as the solution for the
problems of displaced native peoples for some time. In the December 1988
issue, it pledged itself to work what it calls "a better knowledge of
geography".
But by "a better knowledge of geography" is meant eugenics as outlined
above by Marston Bates. In "Will We Mend Our Earth" Gilbert Grosvenor
explains that "the dark side of technology" comes from the number of
people using it. He says that "electric lamps ... automobiles ... air
conditioning ... refrigerators ... Their destructive impact has come with
the surge in their popularity, in the world's bulging population ... ".
But experts feel that the problems are not a cause for despair because
"examples of success were cited frequently. China, once considered the
vanguard of the population explosion, has curbed its growth to near
replacement level." Grosvenor pledged to use National Geographic
resources "to alert the public to the dangers outlined ... With all the
tools at our disposal ...". Bates' wife was a granddaughter of
Alexander Graham Bell
Schools of Public Health and Population Programs:
Population programs at school of public health "Such programs, shaped to
train cadres, are not rare ... [in the population field] ... impact on
government depended on the research programs, but long-term survival was
largely determined by the development of teaching programs ... [the Univ.
of Pennsylvania program] "is unique in that it has in recent years
developed a specialization in Africa with funding from the Rockefeller
Foundation" (1986 Caldwell, p. 155)

Background:
In the Twenties, Dag Hammarskold's father and the Rector of the
Karolinska Institute (awards Nobel Prizes) helped found a state
institute of race biology in Uppsala. In 1956 Kurt Hirschhorn
received a fellowship from the Population Council to study at the
State Institute for Human Genetics, Uppsala, Sweden under Jan Book.
Whether these two Institutes are the same is an area where research
is needed. Another area is the question of the influence of Dag
Hammarskold's father and brother on the European Court at the Hague;
and the interplay of this with Swedish (not to say Nordic) race biology.

Background:
--Malthus and Political Economy: Thomas Malthus was Prof. of Political
Economy in the East India Company's College at Haileybury (1805-1834).
"and he and his sucessors ensured that generations of British officials
and scholars in India saw that country's society in Malthusian terms as
is evidenced by every Indian Census Report until 1951 (the one that was
presented with great effectiveness to the 1954 World Population
Conference in Rome)" John Caldwell, Limiting Population Growth and the
Ford Foundation, p. 4; Many Indians were members of the English Eugenics
Society, including Siripati Chandrasekhar, head of the Indian Statistical
Institute (see list of English Eugenics Society members) while Lady Rama
Rau was associated with the Indian Eugenics Association (1986 Caldwell,
p. 39)
--Into the Darkness - Coercion: "Indeed the ultimate problem for the
West is how closely it is prepared to associate with family planning
programs that are not merely efficient but also coercive" (1986

1993 Rep. Cardiss Collins asserted that the NCAA Data Analysis Group was
using members of the Beyondism Foundation to develop eligibility
standards. The Foundation is based on R.B. Cattell's ideas. Rep.
Collins quoted Cattell as saying: "Probably, a positive eugenic condition
could be most simply established by an ethic of more children from the
socially more successful." The story was covered on the sports pages.

Davis, Dr. Katharine B.; Advisory Council 1929
1913 First General Secretary, Bureau of Social Hygiene; former
commissioner of Charities and Correction, New York; 1913 superintendent
of Bedford Hills Reformatory for Women
Background: The Bureau of Social Hygiene was a John D. Rockefeller Jr.
project. Its purpose was `the study, amelioration and prevention of
those social conditions, crimes and diseases which adversely affect the
well being of society'. It had a Social Darwinist orientation. Davis
sought to create a Criminalistic Institute in which women convicted of
crime would be studied and those incapable of reform would be permanently
detained to keep them from perpetuating their kind. Rockefeller gave
$200, 000 to set up the Institute, which operated out of the Bedford
Hills Institute where Davis was superintendent and the New York City
Courts (see L. E. Bisch). C.B. Davenport was associated with this
enterprise. Speaking of the BSH he said: "Would that its [our country's]
motto were : All men are born unequal" (from Mehler, Sources in the Study
of Eugenics, Mendel Newsletter, Nov., 1978. In 1913 in England a law
sponsored by the Eugenics Society was passed which allowed permanent
detention of the feebleminded. In 1970 two women detained since 1923
under this law were removed from an insane asylum after it was determined
that they were not insane but rather had been pregnant and unmarried in
1923. (see David Suzucki' book on madness)

The Report also discusses fetal exposure to testosterone. According to
the BioScience article, the Report says that "girls who were accidentally
exposed to androgenic steroids in utero showed an increased tendency to
be more aggressive than their peers whereas boys who were accidentally
exposed to anti androgenic steroids were not as aggressive as their
peers" p. 292-293, "The Biology of Violence", BioScience, May 1994.
The NIH Conference on Violence has been rescheduled for 1995. One of
the people at the Univ. of Maryland Institute sponsoring this conference
is D. Gottfredson. Research is needed in this area to determine whether
she is related to Linda Gottfredson, the SSSB director, or any of the
other Gottfredsons concentrated in the field of violence, crime and black

important demographic phenomena, namely: rate of population growth,
absolute population change, change in population structure, and
international differences in demographic patterns. Population and
Development Review planned to devote a Supplement to this conference.
(see L. Gedda q.v.., ex-head of Italian Catholic Action)
Background:
Influence of the Population Council:
The Population Council, which was founded by Frederick Osborn and John D.
Rockefeller III, had a major influence in developing US population
policy. The major players in this development were eugenicists. This
history is explored in an article "The Rockefeller Foundation, the
Population Council and the Groundwork for New Population Policies" by
John B. Sharpless of the University of Wisconsin, Madison. The article
was published in the Rockefeller Archive Center Newsletter, Fall, 1993.
The following are the major points made by this article. I urge those
interested in population policy to obtain the whole article.
" ... I [John B. Sharpless] have been engaged in an extensive study of
the role of the United States government in determining the direction of
world population and resources issues since 1945 ... the impact of the
nonprofit sector in defining the terms of the public policy debate on
population and economic development was so important that it was
impossible to complete my study without an extended stay at the
Rockefeller Archive Center, which held ... the files of the Rockefeller
Foundation (RF), the records of the Population Council, and the personal
papers of John D. Rockefeller III ... Following are some of the initial
observations generated by my research. Foundations and individual
philanthropists are important in understanding the impressively quick and
nearly unanimous change in attitudes and ideas about population that
occurred during the 1960s. ... one crucial factor was the development of
a safe relable means of family planning ... The philanthropic community,
with its subsidy of research and institution building in the 1940s and
1950s played a decisive role in laying the groundwork for the process of
change. But it did more than simply support contraceptive research, for
the nonprofit sector was where the debate over the population problem
actually played itself out, ultimately defining how the policy issue
would be viewed in the period which followed. [emphasis added] ... [the
Population Council made sure that] ... research would take place in both
the social as well as the biological sciences ... this effort was not
simply an exercise in pure science but one which aimed specifically at
policy ... not only the legitimation of the `science' of demography but
also the acceptance of demography as a policy science ... they were
slowly encouraging an evolution in thinking among `population
specialists' to view intervention in demographic processes (particularly
fertility) as not only appropriate but necessary. ... the 1950's
witnessed the creation of a world wide network of `population experts'
which had a core body of knowledge and a common mode of discourse: a
singular shared set of assumptions about how population dynamics worked,
... and the terms under which intervention was appropriate. A
consistency in methodology, analysis and language was forged by ... [a]
small group of scholars located primarily in the U.S. but also in
Britain, India and East Asia. The power to accomplish this task was based
on their relationship with the philanthropic community. In addition to
the RF and the Population Council, other Foundations active in this area
included, the Ford Foundation, the Milbank Memorial Fund and, to a lesser
extent, the Carnegie Corporation, and the Conservation Foundation ...
also ... the `great benefactors' of population studies, a cadre of
wealthy philanthropists ... who often approached this issue with almost
evangelical fervor ... the most important among this group was John D.
Rockefeller III (JDR 3rd .... the depth of his resources .. he used his
influence with leaders throughout the world and lent the weight of his
family's name ..." [but the Rockefeller Foundation was reluctant] "to
provide large funds in this field" and "very slow to move on the issue"
which "eventually prompted JDR 3rd to move independently to create the
Population Council in 1952. ... The question of population policy always
raised the issue of birth control, which was still politically taboo. ...
[and also there was a] lack of consensus on what specific goals were to
be pursued ... If, the [RF] directors asked, the problem of expanding
population was as serious as JDR 3rd, Marston Bates, Marshall Balfour and
Frak Notestein suggested [then what program should be established?] ...
The internal reports which circulated among the RF staff became the basis
for Population Council programming. Marshall Balfour and Frank
Notestein, who were at the center of RF discussions, moved on to assist
the Population Council in its early years. ... Bates's report on
population problems ... was passed on to the Ford Foundation, which used
it as part of their evaluation of the population problem. The Ford
response was to move forward and offer the Population Council its first
major outside support! ... By the end of the 1950s ... [JDR 3rd] and the
leadership within the Population Council had expanded the base of support
for intervention in population problems. They had promoted the training
of experts and assisted in supporting contraceptive research. The way
now smoothed and well-paved [!, ed. note], the RF could enter the field
without controversy or discord."

Background
William Earl Dodge (1805-1883) founded Phelps Dodge & Company, the
largest US. importer of metals in the nineteenth century. He owned
timber in Michigan, a copper mine in Minnesota, and railroad stocks. In
1882 he bought the Copper Queen Mine, in Arizona.
Through what mechanism did control of these resources pass from the
Indians to the Dodges? Would it not be just for the Dodges (and the
Harrimans and Rockefellers) to give the Indian tribes a share in the
corporations which took a given tribe's resources? a share which would be
theirs for as long as the grass grows and the rivers run? The share
could be related to the amount of public money spent e.g. cleaning up
environmental damage caused by these corporations while owned by these
families; paying interest on the national debt incurred fixing track for
the Union Pacific. This money could be used first to build the great
Indian universities of which Red Cloud dreamed. Afterwards, the educated
tribes could shape their own destinies with their share of the resources
whose value had been increased by industrialization. They would be a
good influence on conservation.
Grace Hoadley Dodge (1856-1914), granddaughter of W. E. Dodge, funded the
New York College for the Training of Teachers (1887) which became
Teachers College (1892) of Columbia University. She helped found the
YWCA and was its first President (1905-1914)

Background:
"Richard Lynn's Evolutionary Account of Racial Differences in
Intelligence"
"Richard Lynn's Evolutionary Account of Racial Differences in
Intelligence", an article by Maria T. Phelps in Mankind Quarterly (Spring
1993, p. 295 ff) helps us to understand how all the different elements
funded by the Pioneer Fund fit together. J.P. Rushton offered "support
and helpful comments " on earlier drafts of this article.
Miss Phelps tells us that "results from a number of studies examining
genetic influences on intelligence, social attitudes and altruism, as
well as the findings from the studies of monozygotic twins reared apart
(e.g., Bouchard, Lykken, McGee, Segal and Tellegen, 1990; Rushton 1990)
point to the profound impact of genes in the determination of human
behavior." The Pioneer Fund is helping support the Minnesota Twin
Study, see Bouchard q.v. for more on the study
Miss Phelps links the results from the twin studies to Darwinian
evolutionary theory. "Clearly students of human behavior can no longer
ignore the explanatory power of neo-Darwinian biology ... There is no
logical reason why the evolutionary principles that account for so much
of the variability in animal behavior cannot also be used to the same
effect for human behavior." The Pioneer Fund is supporting the Charles
Darwin Research Institute in its studies on human sociobiology
But Miss Phelps says that "when evolutionary principles are applied to
the study of racial differences in behavior" many social scientists
attack the project instead of the data. The Pioneer Fund gave money to
study the politicization of science with respect to race. see R.A.
Gordon q.v. and Linda Gottfredson q.v. for more information.
Miss Phelps tell us that evolutionary theories "to account for racial
differences in intelligence and behavior have been proposed" (p. 296)
including that of Richard Lynn. Lynn's model "stresses the role of the
ecological niche in shaping intellectual and cultural differences between
the races (p. 296) ... The universality of racial differences in
intelligence test performance and cultural complexity lead Lynn to
suggest that they [race differences] must have evolved in accordance with
the general principles of natural selection ... (p. 296) ... The problems
of survival in cold northern latitudes ... required an increase in brain
size and intelligence" (p. 297) The Pioneer Fund is supporting research
into Lynn's theory through the Atlas Institute. It is also supporting
the studies of intelligence of A. Jensen and H.J. Eysenck, studies Lynn
relies on. These electrophysiological studies are supposed to be free of
cultural bias.
Lynn believes that "the reason Mongoloids have a more highly developed
general intelligence than Caucasoids lies in the colder winters they
experienced." But American Indians who are Mongoloids do not have a
higher general intelligence than whites. How to account for this, asks
Miss Phelps? Lynn's explanation is that the glaciation period called
"Wurm", which happened about 24,000-10,000 years ago raised Mongoloid
intelligence; but American Indians had already crossed into America and
so did not have their IQ's raised. (p. 298) This supposes that Indians
got to America ten to thirty thousand years earlier than most
anthropologists think they did.
Here, says Miss Phelps, Lynn is disagreeing the work of Joseph H.
Greenberg, Christy G. Turner II, and Stephen Luke Zegura (q.v.) and with
the work of L.L. Cavalli-Sforza (q.v.) (p. 298-302)
( For an account of the controversy over arrival time of the Indians in
North America, read "Science and the Citizen, Early Arrivals", Scientific
American, February 1992. One of the sites mentioned by Lynn is in
Pennsylvania, a state in which many eugenic society directors, directors
who are anthropologists, are now concentrated. This is an area in which
Eugenics Watch research is needed.
The history of anthropology is strewn with the bones of error and fraud.)
Miss Phelps proposes to save Lynn's theory about the effect of glaciation
on intelligence by the suggestion that disease and war brought by the
Spanish (Catholics) wiped out the intelligent Indians. "Unlike the
Macedonian policy in Persia ... the [Spanish] conquerors engaged in mass
executions of the upper classes ... disease and war could also affect the
populace by selective culling of the more intelligent members of
Amerindian populations, just as World Wars I and II are suspected by
some as having had a dysgenic impact on Europe." (p. 303, 305)
Miss Phelps study ends here.
However, it is clear that if Lynn's theory is accepted, then we have
accepted a theory of African inferiority. Furthermore, the work of
Gordon and Gottfredson will kick in at this point, work which links crime
to genetics.
And then the neo-Nazi links of the Pioneer Fund will enter into the
policy making process in America. Do we want this?

Background: Malthusian theory and compound interest:
"The growth in numbers of biological populations ... that which is formed
by growth is itself capable of further growing. This is the
distinguishing mark of growth by compound interest, for if the starting
number is regarded as capital and the additional numbers of the
population formed by growth as interest, then clearly the interest is
added to capital and begins to earn interest on its own behalf. Growth
of this kind is often referred to as exponential or logarithmic." from

and J. S. Medawar, Harvard 1982 p. 182 (Peter Medawar was a member of the

In other words, Malthusian growth is the application of the principle of
compound interest as it exists in a banker's world applied to money, this
principle applied to the growth of human populations. It seems to me
that whenever our measure of projected economic health is projected
population growth divided by projected growth in the money supply or by
projected growth in the Gross National Product, then the logic of
compound interest will dictate to bankers and others who constantly
calculate compound interest an apparent requirement of population control
to match control of the money supply. But history does not support the
accuracy of projections based on this ratio, though this ratio is
effective as a rough and ready measure of economic health at any given
moment.
Therefore, it seems to me that it would be better to try to understand
how people differ from money than to continue policies entirely based on
this false analogy. Among such policies we may number world population
control.
It seems to me that it is this false analogy between the growth in the
money supply and population growth which accounts for the constant
presence of bankers and financiers in eugenic societies. The presence of
these bankers and financiers, particularly those concerned with the
national debt, accounts in turn for the mysterious power of eugenics to
impose its will despite the fact that it cannot openly state its goals
because they have no support.
Even before Hitler, eugenics had very little support and it has none now.
If Society's goals had support, the Society would work openly. In fact,
it has not published a list of members for thirty-six years. (1956 to
1993)

Immigration:
"The unique Immigration Quota Acts of 1921-2-4 ... By their enactment a
first class power wrote into law the concept of thedesirability of racial
homogeneity ... The Nordic stream ... had become a trickle ... Followed
these Quota Acts which said to the world: America, still overwhelmingly
Nordic, proposes so to remain! These acts began a gigantic eugenical
experiment in population control. ... Germany is but one of six European
nations engaged in sterilization ... Does there exist in America an
adroit censorship to bar any advocacy of the desirability of conserving
Nordic homogeneity? ... Should we not consider substituting `race
consciousness' for `race prejudice' ... The Harmon Foundation has opened
our eyes. The birth rate of the 20% on relief has speeded up ... war
has, for centuries, always first destroyed our best Nordics ... David
Starr Jordan [is] teaching us ... that our Civil War definitely
eliminated ... strains that cannot be replaced .. Athens ... commenced to
admit the immigrant mongrels of Asia Minor, of Africa, vassalage to Rome
became certain" (from "Patriotism and Racial Standards", Presidential

Background:
The Scripps Institute of Oceanography was founded in 1903 as the Marine
Biological Station, San Diego by Edward Wyllis Scripps and his sister
q.v. This group has carried out many studies of the undersea Scripps
canyon and the nearby La Jolla canyon. E. W. Scripps (1854-1926)
organized the first major newspaper chain in the US.; he also founded the
United Press which, in 1958, became UPI, following a merger with the
Hearst International News Service.
In 1878 he founded the Cleveland Penny Press, which became the Cleveland
Press. In 1894 he formed the Scripps-McRae League of Newspapers; in 1902
he founded the Newspaper Enterprise Association, the first to supply
features, illustrations and cartoons to papers; in 1909 he formed the
Scripps Coast League; in 1922 he transferred control to his son Robert
Paine Scripps. His son reorganized the group into Scripps Howard papers.

Background:
The National Geographic Society and magazine became a force under
Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone. He was on the Board of
Directors of the Eugenics Record Office and wrote several articles on
eugenics for the National Geographic magazine. His descendants, the
Grosvenors, still edit and control the magazine. Eugenics has been
dropped as a topic but comments supportive of family planning appear
frequently in the midst of articles on far away places. In 1988 a
symposium held by the National Geographic discussed conservation and
resource issues in relation to the "population explosion" in the Third
World. The National Geographic pledged to do more on this issue. C.
Haskins was at this symposium, which was reported in the December 1988
issue of the National Geographic.

Jensen, Arthur R.; Member 1974, 1989
Persoanl:
b. 1923; read E.L. Thorndike q.v. and became interested in psychology;
PhD (psychology) Columbia Univ. 1956, "Aggression in Fantasy and Overt
Behavior"; 1955-56, Psychiatric Institute, Univ. of Maryland; USPHS
fellowship to study with H.J. Eysenck (ES), Psychiatric Institute,
London, England (a nest of eugenicists); Jensen was "deeply impressed by
several of his [Eysenck's] books" and said of his studies with Eysenck
`" `Nearly all my work since then has directly or indirectly grown out of
the kind of problems I became involved with duringthis period in
Eysenck's Department From then till now [1973] I can perceive an
essentially unbroken continuity in the things I have been doing as a
researcher ... [I am] most concerned with how and why persons differ
behaviorally from one another, as they so obviously do'. He was
particularly influenced by the [Eysenck's] quantitative and experimental
approach to personality research" (Current Biography, 1973, p. 210); 1958
Univ. of California at Berkeley, (1958 School of Education; Institute of
Personality Assessment 1959-61; Institute of Human Learning (co founder;
Prof. of educational psychology 1966-(1973)); many of his studies were
financed by grants from "the US Office of Education, the US Office of
Economic Opportunity (OEO), the National Science Foundation, the National
Instituteof Mental Health, and the University of California's Institute
of Social Sciences" (1973 Current Biography, p. 210); in 1962 funded by
these groups Jensen began testing minority scholchildren with `culture
free tests; Conclusion: there are two types of intelligence 1. rote
memory of facts in which ability is equally distributed through all races
and 2. conceptual learning (that which is measured by IQ tests) and this
ability occurs with greater frequency among whites than blacks and
somewhat more frequently among Orientals than whites; from other studies
he concluded that "80 percent of intelligence is due to genetic factors
and only 20 per cent to environment" 1973, Current Biography, p. 211);
combining these ideas led to the conclusion "that the well known
differences in performance on intelligence tests ... were due to inherent
and essentially unchangeable differences between the two races, rather
than to the effects of poverty, discrimination and similar remediable
factors ... the impilcations of Jensen's findings for school reform ...
he called for the establishment of diverse programs to match differences
in the learning ability and readiness of individual pupils" (1973 Current
Biography, p. 211); 1969 published "How much can we boost IQ and
scholastic achievement", Harvard Educational Review, v. 39, p. 1 ff which
put forward these "findings" and conclusions; the article was read into
the Congressional Record by a Southern Congressman (May 28, 1969, v. 115,
#88, pp. 4270-4298), a research project would be to find out whether this
Congressman was associated with the Pioneer Fund, as some say Senator
Eastland was; or the White Citizens Councils; 1964-1965 Guggenheim
Fellowship , studied in London with Eysenck again, also influenced by
Cyril Burt, whose fraudulent IQ studies were exposed as a consequence of
thefuror over Jensen (see Cyril Burt, psychologist, Hearnshaw (ES); Not
In Our Genes, R. Lewontin q.v.; The Mismeasurement of Man, S. Gould; The
Legacy of Malthus, Chase; A Question of Intelligence, Seligman; this
last presents the revionist view that Burt was not a fraud; see below for
Seligman's account of Jensen's latest correlation of long legs, deep
pockets and high IQ)); 1966-67 Center for Advanced Study in Behavioral

Background:
Long legs, deep pockets and high IQs:
"Physical Correlates of Human Intelligence" by Jensen in Biological
Approaches to the Study of Human Intelligence, 1991 by P. A. Vernon
contained "good news for heterosexual males with above average IQ's, a
category presumably covering most FORTUNE readers ... the long
established correlation between height and IQ ... is really ...
reflecting ... leg length. But why? Why would there be an association
between long legs and smart heads?
"Jensen and Sinha confess to being less than certain about the answer,
but offer a hypothesis that seems utterly plausible. They note that the
women who are rated most attractive in Western culture (as evidenced in
Petty-girl calendar art and Miss America contest results) have
traditionally been long-stemmed. Which men will be most successful in
pursuing these extended-gam beauties? Obviously, the men who are most
successful in general: those with high incomes and high IQ's (The
income-IQ correlation is about 0.5) ... the result ... would be `cross
assortative mating between IQ (of men) and leg length (of women),
resulting in a genetic correlation between IQ and leg length in the
offspring generation' " (from "Keeping Up" by Daniel Seligman, Fortune,
April 23, 1990)
Understanding Implications: Corrado Gini of Mankind Quarterly (late
scientific advisor to Mussolini) said:
"A small group of persons of high intellectual capacity, directing a
mass of persons of lesser ability but given to work and conformity, could
conceivably enjoy an advantage over a nation in which each member is
gifted with supeior intelligence and who, as a consequence, is little
disposed to follow the orders of others without criticism or resistance.
This is one circumstance that must be kept well in mind in the judgement
of the qualifications of nations in international competion" (from
Mankind Quarterly, 1970-71, v. 11, p. 125)

Kaur, Dr. Rajkumariji Amrit; Member (Foreign) 1956
Personal:
MD; Minister of Health, New Delhi, India 1956; Dr. Kaur insisted on the
use of the rhythm method in India; she did not support the Family
Planning Conference in India at which the International Planned
Parenthood was formed in 1953, because she was a follower of Ghandi, who
advocated abstinence. Dr. Kaur also accepted the rhythm method. (An
Inheritance, Chp 28)
The head of the Indian Family Planning Association was Dhanvanthi Rama
Rau. Her husband was head of the Indian Central Bank, the Reserve Bank
(1948-1959). His job was to match the growth of the money supply to the
growth of the economy; her job was to match the growth of population to
the growth of the money supply. Her first submission to the National
Planning Commission shows this, as it was entitled "The Growth of
Population in relation to the Growth of Economic Development" (An
Inheritance, p. 253).

Background:
Nachtsheim sought 5 year old children for Auschwitz experiments:
"In 1943 geneticist Hans Nachtsheim asked the DFG [the German Research
Foundation] to support the following research: 'Since there was a marked
difference in our animal research on epilepsy between the behavior of
older and younger specimens, we tested epileptic children under similar
conditions in pressure chambers. Up till now only children between 11
and 13 were at our disposal. At a pressure corresponding to 4,000 to
6,000 meters no epileptic attacks occurred. In humans age 11 to 13
corresponds to 5 to 6 months of age in rabbits, an age at which the cramp
threshold, as is also the case with rabbits, is not so low as to induce
cramps with certain regularity under pressure chamber conditions. To
have a basis of comparison, we would need to test epileptic children
between 5 and 6 years of age." quoted in The Value of the Human Being:
