The Question Of Races In The United States PDF Download

Excerpt from The Race Question the United States These people of a lower type are often far ahead of their benefactors in bodily strength and vigor, in vitality and reproductive power; and will multiply as rapidly as the brains of a higher civilization makes it possible with its improvements and increased means of subsistance. Holland has by the brains of her civilization doubled the number of adherents to Mohammedanism in the island of Java in less than thirty years. Eng-land has achieved nearly as much for Egypt in a like space of time. The increase of Mohammedans by the activity of the Christian nations in the last fifty years is probably not less than fifty millions. This doubling of population of various kinds may be conceived of as achievements more splendid in the process than the final results. The ability to do it may be a matter of boasting-, but a far-sighted policy would rather shrink from the responsibility, both as a matter of self-preservation, and in view of the possible effect on the worlds best interests. Would anyone be happier to know that the four hundred millions in China should double their number in a given number of year? or would anyone greatly desire to see the three hundred millions in India increase to that extent?
