We emphatically state, basing our assertions on firsthand knowledge and experience, that Birth Control as at present advocated by the more or less distinguished foreign advocates of the Neo-Malthusian cult, and American high-priestesses of this foreign spawn, is all too frequently highly injurious to health and a direct cause of race DEgeneration.

First: The greater number of the methods taught or means employed are often degrading to the mentality; ruinous to the body as a whole; and, if pregnancy results despite the means used, as it often does any physician will testify to this - is productive of weaklings, criminals, perverts and even insane.(1) -----------------------------------------------------
(1) When pregnancy results despite the preventive means employed, the state of mind of the mother-to-be is everything but conducive to the birth of a normal child. The child, being unwanted, will most certainly feel this throughout its childhood days. If a boy, this is serious enough in its results, but if a girl, it will be many times worse.
Juvenile delinquency is today one of the world's most serious problems. It is within reason to say positively that fully fifty percent of the girls who go wrong do so because from childhood they felt within themselves that they were unwanted. They are as "lost."
In their search to make up for this loss, to find what the parents, especially the mother, did not give them they seek elsewhere with dreadful results. This "not-wanted" influence; a depressive-suppressive feeling throughout childhood and youth, is more powerful than any reformer has yet suspected. Children in families where they are WANTED, and feel they are LOVED, seldom go wrong.
-----------------------------------------------------

Many of the agents employed are inimical to the health of the woman, in many instances destroying the vital forces in the seminal fluid; while some of the other means practiced are worse than mutual masturbation, if that is possible, breeding disgust with each other in those so engaged.

Second: The Aryan or "white race(2) today composes less than one-third of the total inhabitants of the known world. Where it not for their aggressiveness and greater incentive, the white race would be doomed because the birth rate of the nonwhite race is increasing two to one.(3)
-----------------------------------------------------
(2) This statement is not based on race discrimination, but on actual fact.
(3) The Aryan, or white race, with exceptions, of course, do not have any scruples against the employment of the contraceptives or other means for the prevention of conception. On the other hand, there are millions of people, non- Aryan, those of India for instance, whose religion forbids employing any such means and who actually live up to their religious precepts in this respect.
-----------------------------------------------------

Third: The white race, as demonstrated in Holland, France and other countries where the Neo-Malthusian cults are strong, quickly accepted the practice, while many of the non-white race did not, and never will; hence the rapid decreasing of the white race, and the even more rapid increase of the non-white.

Forth: Almost from the beginning of the advocation of birth control, it became apparent that the more educated, the better fitted and the most able of the white race - and this is equally true of the non-white race who accept the idea - will practice birth control; while the poor, the unfit, the ill-prepared; those who above all others should not have families, are the most prolific and least controlled.

The latter have large families, ill-housed, ill-fed and illy-instructed. From them spring most of those known as the "dregs of society," who ultimately must be supported by the comparatively few who are ambitious, frugal, careful of possessions, recognizing the rights of others as they do their own.

The ambitious and frugal are becoming fewer, while the others are increasing so rapidly that, unless there is a change shortly, the so-called better classes will be wiped out and the race as a whole will become non-descript and irresponsible; a race of weaklings, shiftless and brutal, if not altogether subhuman.

Our Platform: Birth control should be advocated and permissible only when:

First: The male is afflicted with a communicable disease such as Syphilis or some form of degeneracy or mental affliction; when the female is physically weak, or suffering from cancer, tuberculosis, a blood disease, or has a history of mental instability.

Second: When the family is sufficiently large, requiring all the efforts of the father for its proper support and offering the children the educational and social advantages that is the undeniable right of every child brought into the world.

Third: The parents are frequently of the lower strata of society whose members refuse to assume the responsibility that parenthood imposes.

Fourth: The husband or wife, or both, are habitual drunkards, criminals or degenerates.

All other reasons are illogical, illegitimate and most often an excuse to enjoy the pleasures of marital relationship without a readiness or willingness to accept the possibilities and responsibilities that may result.

It is perfectly legitimate for the physician to prescribe a poisonous and dangerous drug, when in his opinion it is the only known means to save his patient; but it is criminal for him to do so when the gravity of the case does not demand or warrant it. Birth control is just as criminal where there is no valid reason.

In their zeal for converts, the advocates of Birth Control have been both illogical and unreasonable. A magazine before us contains an article under what is now generally known as a "sob story" heading: "WHY BEAR CHILDREN FOR THIS":

"Tuberculosis causes nearly twenty-seven percent of the deaths of girls who work in any industry between the ages of ten and fourteen. It claims some of those who escape during the first period after they pass into the fifteen-nineteen period, for then thirty-three percent of all deaths of girls in industry are credited to tuberculosis.

"In the period from twenty to twenty-four, many of those who escaped the first two periods pay the penalty of their enforced servitude during their tender years, for then the death rate from tuberculosis is 39.8 percent of the total number of deaths. Nearly forty percent - two of every five deaths! This table tells all too well what becomes of factory children."

The statements made were undoubtedly true at one time, but the conclusions are as misleading as any could possibly be, because they indicate to the average reader that the work in the factory is responsible for this fearful waste of life. This is absolutely not the truth.

All things being equal, if the parents of these girls themselves consumed the proper food, to build strength and create energy, instead of the white breads, starches,, sugars and other congesting and devitalized foods to the almost complete exclusion of vital foods, fruits and vegetables; and if these girls themselves were supplied with correct food combinations, factory life would not cause disease nor the death of one out of ten who now die years before their natural term of life. It is the conglomeration of disease engendering foods; such as pies and sweet cakes, coffee, ice cream and sodas, which the average shop girl consumes, that vitiates their bodies and induces diseases, ultimately ending in death.

We have investigated the subject thoroughly over a period of forty-five years as Dietitian and Endocrinologist, we know whereof we speak. We do not wish to be understood as endorsing the factory, or any other non-domestic life, for girls or women. We emphatically declare that neither shop nor factory is the place for a girl; but it is the truth we seek.

Furthermore, the statements made would induce the general public to believe these girls were forced to enter the factory; the word enforced being used in the article. It is undoubtedly true that many girls are compelled to work, thus help in defraying the family expenses. It is also an uncontradictable fact that by far the greater number of girls enter factories of their own free will even demand the privilege of doing so; home life being too ordinary and unexciting.

They use the greater part of their own earnings for the purchase of expensive clothes and devitalized delicacies in food; the proper clothing seeming too ordinary, while the food; that would supply their undernourished bodies with the greatly needed vital forces essential in making health and strength certain, seldom, if ever, form any part of their diet.

The implication of the question is as far as possible from the actual truth. Children are not born for the factory; they seek work in the factories and other avenues of activity because they prefer such work to their natural duties; the work and routine that are part of the home.

If a thousand factory girls of between fourteen to eighteen years of age were selected at random and questioned as to whether they preferred to work at home in healthy, normal, natural surroundings, comparatively few would choose to work at home, We must face the facts.

The cry of "Exploitation," the "wolf, wolf" of the fanatics of the past can no longer be countenanced. If there is exploitation, then it is exploitation of the self for personal benefits.

In the same magazine previously mentioned appears another article just as illogical and senseless under another "sob sister" title,: "THE GREATER CRIME," wherein the reader is enlightened by the following:

"When I left college I went on a big city newspaper. Here - a `'story' a day - were more and ever more examples of the need of Birth Control. A young couple are married; their first child shows the hitherto unthought of syphilistic taint. The frenzied mother kills herself and the child; the man is left to a lifetime of agonized remorse. Of course, they should not have been married; but still less should they have had children."

Propaganda such as this unquestionably has great possibilities for making converts, but is neither sane nor sensible. There always was, and still is, a possibility of the young man or woman entering marriage having previously contracted syphilis or inherited it.

According to this caption, because of such a possibility, NO ONE SHOULD MARRY. What then? Certainly, there may be an effective contraceptive! The sane, sensible thing to do for anyone contemplating marriage is to find out with what, if anything, one is or is not afflicted. Certainly, this is not a difficult matter in these modern days.

Suppose the child when born was afflicted with syphilis. Regrettable, of course, and certainly most melodramatic for the mother to kill it and herself. If the child, our child, had any other disease, would we kill it, or would we be sane and sensible and seek the services of a competent physician? Syphilis, like other diseases, has been cured, and continues to be cured and is not a cause for either murder or suicide. Only the mentally unbalanced would follow such a procedure or suggest it as does the writer of this article. We are constantly called to listen to the frigid or sexually dead, telling us that "so and so" should not have married because of some weakness or illness. Would it not be more sane to seek relief from the weakness or disease, instead of renouncing marriage? What are those to do who possess an abundance of life and a nature of love? Practice continence and "burn up," or Birth Control? Why not seek health and live according to God's great Law?

The writer quoted, further states:

"I used to say that if I were ever tempted to marry, I should call on Lottie, and that would cure it! Fortunately for my happiness, she was three thousand miles away when that temptation did assail me, and so I yielded. But there is no danger of my falling into the slough of despondency which is drowning her - I married a man of the twentieth, not the eighteenth century.

"Whether or not we shall ever have a child depends on circumstances beyond the control of either of us. But until then I am free to do my own work, made more worthwhile through the joys of love and companionship, without the haunting fear of unwanted maternity of thrusting the burden of life on another human being, without being able to guarantee it at least a fair chance in a decent world."

What are we coming to in this so-called enlightened age? It is an absolute law in the Spiritual, as well as in the natural world that marriage brings with it the responsibilities of parentage(4).
-----------------------------------------------------
(4) With exceptions; age, certain conditions and unusual responsibilities, marriage assumes parentage. Youth should not marry merely for the means of self-satisfaction; that being the spirit of prostitution. The spiritual law of youth is: Love and "be fruitful and replenish the earth"
-----------------------------------------------------

There can be no love without passion. It is self-evident that when the average wedded pair exercise the creative function and results do not become apparent, there must be a weakness or abuse some where in the relationship. There are many contraceptions, but none of them are absolutely certain; and as previously stated, many of them are detrimental to the well-being of those participating. If the instructions we have perused and reported as coming from the Birth Control advocates are authentic, then it would be far better for the moral spiritual welfare of the average man and woman to continue in their former manner of life and have children than to damn them selves body and Soul.

Seeking the pleasure of frequent indulgence, but hoping to avoid the penalty, my lady accidently doth conceive. Her mind is constantly on the thought of not wanting the child; impressing this on the child's mentality, thus preventing a normal development of the mental faculties, while also interfering with the natural bodily growth; with the result that the one born is either mentally defective, physically perverted or becomes a moral leper.

In the aggregate this is a daily occurrence, and as a consequence, the total of undesirables in proportion to the number of births, is greater than ever.

Despite the almost universal use of contraceptives since Mrs. Sanger's much quoted statement was made, insanity, immorality, degeneracy, rape and moral depravity have increased enormously; so much so that they threaten the race. Birth Control as a remedy for these evils of the REgeneration of the race has wholly failed and Mrs. Sanger and her clique have proven to be false prophets.

Speaking from a spiritual standpoint, we repeat that, with exceptions, any prevention of conception not based on the sterile period of the woman between lunar periods, or the failure of the uterus to "draw in" the seminal fluids, due to a side embrace or some other natural means, is a perversion and the woman - and her progeny - always pay.

For centuries, by one means or another, but generally through cults having at heart the bestial (with apologies to the beasts) sexual debasement of mankind, much after the fashion of those rampant in Sodom, Gomorrah, Babylon, Greece and Rome, the race has been periodically guilty of race suicide.

To this has been added, as a result of wars, the appalling loss of possibly 35,000,000 of Aryans or "white" men, who should have become the fathers of sturdy progeny. Another war, especially if the non-white races combine against the white, aided by the present destructive machinery, and the white race will be a thing of the past except in the markets for slaves.

Following this, the more war-natured of these races, such as the Mongolian, Tartar and others, will turn upon races less war-like, such as the Negro and East Indian, and either wipe them out or enslave them.

Thinkers have long feared this and it will come about unless, as Tolstoy said: The white man will bethink himself and begin to live naturally, constructively and within reason.

Formerly, there appeared little to fear. The darker races did not possess either the initiative or the aggressiveness of the white. Over-population was chronic with some of them, but they were held in check by plagues, pestilence, and famine; totally ignorant of the means to combat the reaper; all these keeping them in check.

Now it is vastly different. The white race has discovered the means of overcoming disease, and has taught the methods to its colored brothers; awakening in them also the desire for conquest. Slowly but surely, they are now overcoming all the forces which formerly held them is subjection. The population of many races is increasing so rapidly that emigration is becoming larger and larger; and sooner or later, whether we will or not, the crisis must be faced.

As previously stated, the population of the world is about one-third white, heretofore a race of progression and aggression, while the colored races were sleeping the sleep in inertia. Now they are waking to their possibilities and beginning to work in unison, while the white race is becoming inoculated with perversia sexualisis a desire for all the pleasures of indulgence while seeking to avoid natural results; stooping to every known manner of beastly practices in order to avoid conception; and to this is added the internal struggle of man against man. Woe to those who will not heed the writing in the sky.

We emphatically declare that we do not condemn a man because he smokes, imbibes what seems pleasing to him, or wears silken socks or shirts. We would not look askance at a woman if she likes her candies and creams, and prefers the fineries to the commonplace and essential. We do no advocate the restriction of any races.

We merely face facts squarely and without reservation; placing the blame for present conditions where it rightly belongs; at the same time pointing to the danger that lies ahead and the possible extinction, because of their own weaknesses and immoralities, of the races of men who have made man's greatness apparent, pointing out man's greater potentialities and possibilities.
