Stockholm, Sept 21, (By mail)
Prosperity Is a bad thing for
because it is one of the first steps
toward degeneration, Is the opinion
Professor Herman Lundborg,
head of the Race Biological Insti-
Upsala, Sweden, and well
known for hia investigations into
eugenics and ^racial biology. Pres,
perity brings with it the gradual
elimination of the good old middle
class, the professor declared in
recent address on this subject, and
this in any country is a sure sign of
decay. “There is grave doubt” the
speaker continued, whether a peo-
reaily gainj any profit when
millions of money begin to pour into
the country. Experience, past
well as present, shows that when
wealth is suddenly increased it
brings endless new needs. Luxuries
are demanded, lassitude sets in, and
the interest in work and production
falls off. Women begin to avoid
maturity. All of these processes,
beginning in the middle and upper
classes, gradually work downward
in time destroy the race. Thus they
e as much menace to a country
powerful political enemy.”
The professor approves of birth
the less desirable elements of
country's population, and he believes
that the reproduction of a
should be limited, as far as possible,
to those who are "well-born”. He
ia stoutly opposed to mixing the
races, and gives this as one of the
reasons why populations in larger
cities tead to regenerate, except fn
so far as racially replenished from
the country districts.
“Europe is decaying, not only as
result of political cataclysms, but
because of a misconception of racial
hygiene, and a failure to counteract
the forces of degeneration,
strong midde class is necessary for
the racial health of a people. Is-
creasing industry and trade make it
possible to feed a larger population,
but at the same time brings about a
serious change in the structure of
society. The old middle class decays
and finally disappears. A new mid.
die class ia formed, to be sure, but it
poorer substanc. Meanwhile
there is numerical gain in both the
upper and lower classes, especially
the latter. In time the working
class becomes the largest, and under,
neath this comes a layer of human
trash.
Just what political measures, if
any, should be taken to safeguard
racial vigor and parity Professor
Lundborg does not suggest, saying
that such discussion wqpld natural,
ly fall outside the province of a
scientist.
OSAKA MOST EXPENSIVE CITY
OF JAPAN TO LIVE IN
Osaka, Japan. Oct. 1. —(By Mail)—
Osaka, the industrial capital of Ja
pan, baa tbe reputation of being the
most expensive city of the empire in
which to live. The prices of commodi
ties in Osaka In June averaged 8.7
per cent, over the same month last
year. Toklo, the next expensive city,
averaged 6.8 per cent. The general
advance in prices in ten years has
been 150.39 per cent in Osaka and
130.34 per cent, in Toklo, according
to official figures.
Believing that the high prices
due to profiteering tbe government re
cently ordered the department a
to make a reduction of 15 per cei
necessities. The stores replied with
bargain sales at which they got rid of
their surplus stock. This did not
fy the government so an order has
gone out to all retailers to reduce the
prices of “sobs,” a sort of macaroni,
and “tofu” bean paste, staple foods of
the people. If present weather condi
tions continue a good crop la expected
to bring down the price of rice.
