- WARNS OF MENAGE OF RACE STRUGGLE Scientist Sees Great Danger in Rapid Increase in Pop- ulation of World. BY DR. EDWIN E. SLOSSON, Director, Science Service. TORONTO, Ont, August 7.—The Population of the world is rapidly reaching its limit,:and the struggle for expansion, which was the ulti- mate motive of the World War, will nevitably be still more bitter and terrible if it becomes the struggle for xistence between white and colored races. This is the conclusion of Prof. . W Gregory, expressed thrs morning n his address of the zeograp) section Brit.sh Association for the Advancem: Science n increases as did would be £ food supply fin:tely multiplied there, ling room only on land outside the polar regions by the vear 3000 There race problem one side of tion of the is a double menace in the We are warned from the danger to civiliza- rising tide of color and of the peril to human- nz tide of color preju- i vears ago the whites Now Euro- third of the eight-ninths But _during | ¢ colored races | er than the white disparity in _numbers in a democratic age, an in- evitable transfer of power. While the former prestige of the white man has been undermined by his own beneficent rule. alike in_ war and peace, the personal authdrity which the white man held in 1900 has un- dergone’ a momentous decline,” sai Prof. Gregory “African negroes are increasing faster than any other people in_the world. South America is firmly held by a mixed race and Prof. Gregory thinks it most probable that a similar hybrid people will eventually occupy the southeastern section of the United States with some measure of home rule. The whites can only hope to hold in South Africa certain segre- gated sections, and in Asia only the nogth and northwest White merchants may find in these regions profitable trading centers and may for a time rule and administer them, but when white enterprise has subdued the land, built railways and utilized the rivers, the colored man will oust the white from all but the few posts that require experts,” but Australia may be completely colonized by the white race, for the speaker ber lieves that the conquest of tropical | diseases will enable the tropics to| support white civilization. Australian experience has proved that even in the hot and humid climate of Queens- land sugar plantations can be more y worked by white than by colored labor, although black men can usually stand more heat than white SPECIAL NOTICES DATE WIIL NOT TFTER 1RIS e bts_other t : MAURICE or Boston 5-ton van, 800 cu. ft. ca. | RGO EXPRESS. 418 THAT AFTER 530 P, 1 will not be responsible for those_contracted by me per- HOMER H.

Walsh of Georgetown University at-a luncheon of the Wapiya Club at the University Club yesterday.
