THE W R T H CONTROL KEVIEW DEDICATED TO VOLUNTARY MOTHERHOOD

A MOST ENCOURAGING s ~ g n of the tlmes ~s the great great change that has swept over Great Br~tain m t h ~ s

matter of Birth Control After forty years of mdom~table courage and ceaseless effort, the pioneers of the Neo Ma1 thuslan League have broken through the walls of sdence, sup presslon and prejudice Agamst the most tremendous odds, In the face of discouragement and opposltlon, they kept up them brave battle Representatwe oplnlon has at last been awakened The war brutally and perhaps cruelly tore asunder the veds of stupidity and ignorance that kept concealed the d~sastrous folly of dysgenlc breedmg Today m the Brit~sh press Birth Control is frankly, honestly and mtelligently dls cussed Intellectual leaders of the cal~bre of Bernard Shaw, Dean Inge, H G Wells, Havelock Ellis, Wilham Archer, W~lliam Bateson, and others hardly less d~stlnguished lend to the cause of B~r th Control all the preshge and mfluence then mtegrlty and ~ntellectual brdliance can brmg to t h ~ s great ~ d e a Taboo and prejudice have been broken down The press, even the most conservatwe sectlon of the press, has opened ~ t s columns to the frank d~scus~on of the problem of populatlon and Blrth Control B~r th Control cl~nics are established as necessary m the new campaign agamst the waste of womanhood and ch~ldhood The recently published census has been ~nter~re ted m sane and sound fashion as a vmd~cat~on of pract~cal Bntb Control The declmmg b~r th rate is con s~dered as an optlmlstlc s p for the health of the next generation

What 1s happeumg m Great Br~tam IS the surest slgn of what must lnev~tably happen m our own country Already Amer~ca IS wak~ng up to the Importance of B~r th Control And no better tune than the present could have been chosen for the F ~ r s t Amencan B~rth Control Conference All that we now need tr~umphantly to break through the barr~ers of prejudrce and Ignorance IS to crystall~ze Into a strongly welded central movement all the varlous and independent strands of oplulon that each may be immeasurably strengthened and dlrected toward the llberat~on of Amencan womanhood and chddhood

I T SHALL BE the aim-and one of the most unportant auns -of this Firet Amer~can B~rth Control Conference to

show how deeprooted In the soc~al, the natlonal and the inter nat~onal organizatlon of human soclety and human institutions

lies the whole ~roblem of B~rth Control, how closely bound up ~t is w~ th every phase of human health and happmess, how

The Aim of the Conference d~saster and defeat are mentable ~f as a nat~onal unlt the United States of Amer~ca IS not brought to an ~mmed~ate realization that ~t can no longer Ignore a matter of such primary and v~tal lmportance to every man, woman and chdd of the country More and more, from a hundred different sources, IS emphas~zed and re~terated the truth that dysgen~c breedmg-r e , uncontrolled ch~ldbearmg-1s the most certaln route to rac~al decay and nat~onal degeneration As Mr Mac dougal pomted out, the most t r a p spectacle In the world today IS the foolhardy and carefree manner In whlch the American democracy IS "~oyr~diug" to b~ologlcal destruct~on

To health officers, to soc~al workers, to scientific investigators

and famdy physmans, as well as to all serious students of nat~onal and mternat~onal affa~rs, ~t shall be our alm to point out that there IS no phase of human activity, no v~ta l problem of the date, no economic questlon that IS not duectly and int~mately connected wlth this great prlmary problem of B~r th Control

The problems of Ch~ld Labor, of feeblemindedness, of maternity conditions in ~ndustr~al centers, of workmg condl tlons for women and chddren, of lndustr~al fat~gue and occu pat~onal malahes, have m the past been mvest~gated without any attempt to coordmate or to correlate the facts obtamed with those concerning the Incessant pregnancies and unrelieved chlld bearing of workmg class mothers Of what value are statlct~cal results whlch have been obtamed by a complete lgnormg or ignorance of the cruc~al pomt of the whole problem?

F OUR Conference can succeed in awaken~ng lntell~gent I Amencans to that all important fact that m matters of populatlon and parenthood we can expect exactly the same results that preva~l In every other country ~t will more than justify the long and hard work of organizatlon If we have not as yet attamed to the desperate condlt~ous that prevad In Chma and Japan, it IS through no fault of our own The Un~ted States has passed laws declamg the practlce of B~r th Control illegal These laws were passed not upon the sound basls of scient~fic ver~ficatlon of fact, but upon the unsound and shiftmg sands of moral s tup~d~ty and lgnorance The blologlcal chaos, the tragic human waste and mlsery that have resulted by thrs stupid refusal to face facts, can no longer be tolerated We can no longer afford to squander our treasury of human l ~ f e To persist In the face of the en l~gbtened moral and sc~ent~fic opinion of c~v~lizauon m a

suppressive po l~cy that IS not merely cost~ng mdhons of lwes and dollars but IS In a d d ~ t ~ o n actually contr~but~ng to the psych~c and phys~cal decay of the race IS to mute certam d~saster

The alm of our Conference IS In whatever manner prac t d and poss~ble to arouse the Amencan people, and espe c~al ly representatwe ~ n t e l l ~ ~ e n t men and women, out of that mental lethargy and self sat~sfact~on wh~ch 1s the almost In ev~table outcome of a widespread fa~ lure to recognize or to r e a l m the root of soc~al evlls Superfic~al remed~es may be for a short tlme amelloratwe But unless we exerclse the courage and honesty to study all the neglected factors wh~ch are contr~butmg to w ~ d e s ~ r e a d mlsery and poverty, u n t ~ l we establ~sh a program that can prevent mstead of merely at temptmg to cure these evds, our human~tarlan and ph~lan throplc efforts can never become truly beneficla1 to the natlon or the world

It rs the duty, therefore, of that ever growlng number of enlightened men and women who In the past have so cour ageously a ~ d e d m~sunderstood and mal~gned causes, to throw all th ewe~ght of then mfluence and h ~ g h ~ntell~gence In support of t h ~ s cruc~al effort to lay the foundat~on of an era of human health and strength

The Bzrth Control Revuw 5

The Eugenic Value of Birth Control Propaganda By Margaret Sanger

[The followzng brzef statement of the dependence of any sound and effectwe program of Eugenlcs upon Bzrth Control, cn mew of the Second Internaronal Congress of Eugenlcs, recently held m New York at the Museum of

Natural H~story, assumes a peculutr tunelmess ]

S EEMINGLY EVFRY new approach to the great problem of the human race must man~fest ~ t s v ~ t a l ~ t y by runnlng

the gauntlet of p re~ud~ce , rldlcule and mlslnterpretat~on Eugen~sts may remember that not many years ago t h ~ s program for race regeneratlon was subjected to the cruel r~dlcule of s t u p ~ d ~ t y and Ignorance Today Eugen~cs n suggested by the most d~verse m ~ n d s as the most adequate and thorough avenue to the solut~on of rac~al, p o l ~ t ~ c a l and soc~al problems The most lntranslgeant and darmg teachers and sclentlsts have lent then support to t h ~ s great b~olog~cal mterpretatlon of the human rave The war has emphas~zed ~ t s necessity

The doctr~ne of Blrth Control IS now passlng through the stage of r~dlcule, prxjudlce and m~sunderstand~ng A few years ago t h ~ s new weapon of clvll~zat~on and freedom was condemned as immoral, destructwe, obscene Gradually the crltlclsms are lessening-understand~ng is taklng the place of m~sunderstandmg The eugenlc and clvlhzat~onal value of Blrth Control IS becom~ng apparent to the enllghtened and the lntehgent

In the hmlted space of the present paper, I have tlme only to touch upon some of the fundamental conv~ctlons that form the bass of our Blrth Control propaganda, and whlch, as I thmk you must agree, ~ n d ~ c a t e that the campalgn for Blrth Control IS not merely of eugenlc value, but IS practtcally ~den t~ca l In Ideal w ~ t h the final alms of Eugen~cs

F IRST WE ARE convmced that r ac~a l regeneratlon, llke mdmdual regeneratlon, must come "from w ~ t h ~ n " That

a, ~t must be autonomous, self dlrect~ve, and not Imposed from w~thout In other words, every potent~al parent, and espec~ally every potent~al mother, must be brought to an acute reahzat~on of the primary and central respons~blhty of brlnglng chddren Into t h ~ s world

Secondly Not u n t ~ l the parents of the world are thus glven control over thelr reproductwe faculties w ~ l l ~t ever be pos s ~ b l e not alone to lmprove the quahty of the generatlons of the future, but even to mamtaln clvll~zat~on even at ~ t s present level Only by self control of t h ~ s type, only by mtelhgent mastery of the procreatrva powers can the great mass of human~ty be awakened to the great respons~bll~ty of parept hood

Th~rdly We have come to the conclus~on, based on w ~ d e spread mvestlgatlon and expertence, that t h ~ s educat~on for ~arenthood must be based upon the needs and demands of the people themselves An ~ d e a l ~ s t ~ c code of sexual ethms, Imposed from above, a set of rules devised by h~ghmmded theor~sts who fall to take Into account the hvmg condlt~ons and deswes of the suhmerzed masses. can never be of the

people Such systems have In the past revealed then woeful ~ n a b l l ~ t y to prevent the sexual and rac~al chaos Into wh~ch the world has today dr~fted

HE ALMOST UNIVERSAL demand for pract~cal educat~on In Blrth Control IS one of the most hopeful slgns that the

masses themselves today powess the dlv~ne spark of regen eratlon I t remaln for the courageous and the enhghtened to anwer t h ~ s demand, to kmdle the spark, to d~rect a thorough educat~on In Eugen~cs based upon thls Intense Interest

Blrth Control propaganda IS thus the enterlng wedge for the Eugen~c educator In answering the needs of these thousands upon thousands of submerged mothers, ~t IS poss~ble to use t h ~ s Interest as the foundat~on for educat~on In prophylax~s, sexual hyg~ene, and Infant welfare The potent~al mother IS to be shown that maternity need not be slavery but the most effectwe avenue toward self development and self reallzat~on Upon t h ~ s bas~s only may we lmprove the quahty of the race

As an advocate of Btrth Control, I wish to take advantage of the present opportunity to pomt out that the unbalance between the b ~ r t h rate of the "unfit" and the "fit," adm~ttedly the greatest present menace to clvlhzat~on, can never be rec t~fied by the lnauguratlon of a cradle competltlon between these two classes In thls matter, the example of the ~ n f e r ~ o r classes, the fertlllty of the feeble mmded, the mentally defec tlve, the poverty str~cken classes, should not be held up for emulat~on to the mentally and phys~cally fit though less fer tlle parents of the educated and well to do classes On the contrary, the most urgent problem today IS how to l m ~ t and discourage the overfertlllty of the mentally and phys~cally defectwe

IRTH CONTROL IS not advanced as a panacea by wh~ch past and present evrls of dysgen~c breedmg can be mag1

cally ehmmated Poss~bly drast~c and Spartan methods may be forced upon soclety ~f 11 continues complacently to en courage the chance and chaot~c breedmg that has resulted from our stupidly cruel sentlmental~sm

But to prevent the repetltlon, to effect the salvat~on of the generatlons of the future--nay of the generatlons of today- our greatest need IS first of all the abll~ty to face the sltuatlon w~thout flmchmg, and to cooperate In the format~on of a code of sexual ethlcs based upon a thorough b~olog~cal and psycho log~cal understand~ng of human nature, and then to answer the questions and the needs of the people w ~ t h all the mtelh gence and honestly a t our command If we can summon the bravery to do th~s, we shall best be servlng the true Interests of Eugenlcs, because our work w ~ l l then have a pract~cal and -

shghtest value In effectmg any changes In the mores of the pragmatic value

The B~r th Control Revrew

Families and Famines in China By Helen Ward Bromjield

[Chzna has for centurm been the country of unrestncted over population The author of thls authentw artwle shows cortcluszvely how large famdzes are there bound up wzth famzne and mlsery ]

W W O THOUSAND YEARS AGO, before Chma's teemmg 1 hordes had reached the pmnacle of excesswe m~lhons,

they rivalled the Romans In road buddmg Remamng mdes of anclent h~ghways stdl exst, sufficient to show the dextrous and remarkable workmanshlp wltb whlch they were con structed Part~cularly In the M~ng dynasty was road bu~ ld~ng an art In the Celest~al Kmgdom, when transportation by hlgh way and water routes was at ~ t s zenlth Today, the roads are llttle more than tra~ls, broken, dismembered and unserv~ceable, impassable for vehdes, pedestrians or beasts, except where forelgn pressure has taken a band and fore~gn cap~tal and interests demanded the establishment of communlcatlon

Of course, Chma IS the oldest race of wh~ch we have authen t ~ c record Her folk lore has penetrated every corner of the globe In some d~storted form Chmese ancentral worsh~p- the veneration for a father or ancestor, preferably remote- has lald the foundat~on for all succeedmg rel~glons, each group lnventmg a superlatwe bemg and endowlng ~t w~ th a character most su~table for ~ t s particular needs, defendmg ~ t s propa ganda and doctrmes by sword, cruc~ficatlon, machmegun, l lqu~d fire, polson, or starvatlon accordmg to the prevall~ng popular Ideas for most effectwely elrmmatmg d~ssentmg opln Ions and destroy~ng colnpetltlve creeds

The Moors belleve the world rests on the horns of a m~ghtv hull, and that when h ~ s burden becomes ~rksome, ~t requlres but the toss of h ~ s haughty head to dlspose of the encumb rance

Chma IS fortunate In the provlslon of numerous avenues through wh~ch the stram of over populat~on IS reheved, how ever drastlc the means may seem to western mmds This frequent adjustment of Chlna's c r ~ m n a l weakness by the exact~ons of nature m her ruthless demands of those who \lolate her codes, 1s momentardy pamful but wholly essential Plague, cholera, clvd war, earthquake, famme and flood have taken them steady toll wlthout percept~bly lessenmg the dom lnatmg evll

HEN THE TAIPING REBELLION occurred, M e was beard about r in Amenca because it coinc~ded wth

our own great struggle between the North and the South In 1860 63 to the almost entlre exclusion of fore~gn top~cs, yet the Ta~pmg Rebellion was responsible for the loss of ap prox~mately thrrty m~lllon lwes by massacre, dlsease and starvatlon An entlre provlnce was depopulated, but so con gested were the adjo~nlng provmces that w~thln twenty years the overflow left llttle or no trace of the dlsaster wh~ch befell the stncken area, and when the recent fam~ne of 1920 21 occurred thls provznce was one of the five faced wlth grlm starvatlon The Chmese qulver 1s filled to capaclty, but the granaries are yawmng and empty

Centuries before the Chr~st~an era arrlved and b~bllcal chron~clers had compded them anclent tales of traveller and caravan and folk lore goss~p, and the love song of a desert Arab had been woven Into the Psalms, the Yellow Rwer- "The Sorrow of Ch~na"-had devastated an area so vast and appallmg that ~t IS not aston~shlng to find the event recorded w~th sllghtly maccurate geographical spec~ficat~ons as a catastrophe of unwersal proportion,, for many tlmes, at In tervals of a few centuries, the Yellow R~ver has accounted for untold mdl~ons of the Yellow race

Were the Aslat~c people permitted to swarm Into the Un~ted States, In two generations our cmes would be as congested as them and the standard of h n g lowered to an unlmagln able degreenot that the As~atlc 1s mcapable of cleanlmess where byglen~c surroundmgs prevall-but because of h ~ s un quenchable deslre to reproduce h ~ s specles as frequently as posslble When excess In populat~on occurs the standard of comfort 1s proport~onately lowered, and m its wake follows the lnev~table growth of vlce and lmmoral~ty In ev~dence of tbls 1s early marriage and excesswe mfant mortal~ty amongst the lower classes where physlcal indulgence predominates over athletics and intellectual occupation

N ADDITION TO EARLY marriage, China tolerates poly gamy, which agam st~mulates the creatlon of predestmed

hungry offsprmg who arrlve unheralded and undes~red, and from whose restless ranks the plrat~cal element IS recruited and the lawless milllons upon whlch the m~lltary draw for troops

In parts of the Chmese Republ~c, m populous cltles as well as ~solated countrys~des, "baby towers" are mamtalned for the reception of unwelcome mfants A partltlon separates the compartment for guls from the compartment provlded for boys, tha tthe morals of these unwanted chlldren may not be contammated by assoclatlon Certainly ~f they are not lmmune from evd In death ~tself a wall must be necessary for the preservation of then Innocence Such fast~d~ous d~scrlm~na tlon, however, is not always observed, as holes m a city wall serve equally well as a receptacle where unwelcome Infants may be cast to per~sh or take the scant chance of belng rescued-but for what? Usually the g ~ r l bab~es are con demned to such a fate, the boys bemg destroyed only when deform~t~es or them phys~cal condmon renders them unable to earn a l~vellhood In any capaclty whatsoever Panlcularly repuls~ve specimens are led about the streets to solmt alms for themselves and the~r famllles-famihes? Certainly' These unfit, tuberculous, leprous, s y p h ~ l ~ t ~ c , vermln mfested mendwants produce them klnd as eagerly and as profusely as the r ~ c h merchant whose egotlsm demands prollfic progeny to worsh~p at h ~ s tomb

The Bwth Control Revzew

It brlngs no blush to our psalm smglng, self satlsfied rlght eousness to be told that one fourth the world's lnhab~tants exlsts In ab~ect mlsery, unnourished, unwashed, uneducated, possessing the glft of art~culatlon wlthout the power of reason and thought, dlfferlng only from lower anlmals In that anlmals In a natural state select clean habltatlons and frequently bathe, possess the ablllty to thlnk and are endowed wlth a normal sense of justlce, so noticeably absent from our mclplent state of clv~llzatlon through whlch we are slowly struggl~ng toward the hght

HE 1920 21 FAMINE spread over the greater part of five densely provmces-390,000 square mlles con

talnlng 110,000,000 persons The extent of thls famlne's de structweness wlll never be known Perhaps twelve mlll~ons would be a conservatwe estlmate of deaths resulting The small field whlch comfortably provldes suffic~ent gram for three mouths In productwe years, may consistently demand economy when the ram god has not been generous, but ~t IS

not equal to the occaslon when called upon to supply the requirements of the rlce bowls of a baker's dozen

For the months of Aprll and May SIX mllllons of people were fed by the Unlted International Famme Rellef Committee wlth headquarters m Pekmg, thls m addltlon to the multitudes who had been malntamed In ratlons and clothing throughout the prevlous autumn and winter Sixteen mllllon Mexlcan dollars were expended for necessltles the chlef of which was klaollang (coarse Manchurlan mlllet) One Mexican dollar per month was the estimated cost of feedmg a famlne refugee

The Chmese Government, bemg too busy wlth a Clvd War in the contmuatlon of whlch Japan 1s mstrumental, had no funds to contribute to then destitute civlllans, but the Go\ ernment and Mlnlstry of Commun~catlons were generous m the donatlon of transportatlon fac~htles and telegraphic require ments

Of the mllllons saved through the indefatigable energy of foreigners wlth the cooperation of the Chmese themselves to some extent, what will be the outcome7 No measure for hmlt mg b m h rate wlll be effected, and when the next famlne comes as ~t surely will, for each survlvor of the famme tbls year

there will be four demandmg subsistence a generation hence Even though the Chinese Government applied itself energeti cally to the restoratlon of hlghways and lanes of travel, to the reopenmg of her slugglsh canals, to the reforestation of her barren plams and hdlsldes, to the ellmlnat~on of her m competent mllltary forces, stdl the demand would exceed the supply for a population so impetuously rushing Into a whlrl pool

N THE FAMINE areas the magistrates posted notlces pro hibltmg the sale of chlldren, and dealers engaged ln this

human traffic were arrested when apprehended and thrown lnto prlson, but comparatively few were ensnared In the meshes of the law, the dealers resortmg to many ways of evadlng the mjunctlons of author~ty, some using regular mar rlage papers, others protecting themselves by preparing con tracts callmg for sale for hfe or for a term of years, money was loaned and upon demandmg payment, chlldren were sub stituted, In many Instances the l~ t t l e ones were stolen outrlght In one dlstrlct In South Chlhll not a great dlstance from Peking, the Catholic slsters dunng the summer plcked up more than five hundred abandoned walfs In Shuntefu there were approximately five thousand persons sold, the sales bemg con fined not only to chlldren but to adults as well

Reported by an lnvestlgator m Tze chow 112 persons known to have been sold m th~r ty three v~llages

The uses to whlcb these persons were put were Adopted chddreu, wlves, concubmes, actors, slaves and prostitutes

In 1877 8 there were approxin~ately nlne mdhon hves snuffed out by famlne In the same general dlstrlct, but the warnlug was unheeded and the mad man maklng competltlon went on

Birth Control in Relation to Poverty By Edward G Punlce

Fellow and Assutunt m Socwlogy, Unzverszty of Mcchzgan

A DVOCATES OF unrestr~cted race fecund~ty are qulte emphat~c In thew behef that what they menacmgly call

"race sulc~de" IS a recent Invention of the devll, an effete mstl tutlon, spreadlng from Pans over the world, and part~cularly Into Amer~ca They would place ~ t s ~nventlon somewhere contemporaneous w ~ t h that of the aeroplane or the motlon plcture

Perhaps it w ~ l l not add any eth~cal merrt to the practlce of race l ~ m ~ t a t ~ o n to trace ~ t s anthropological and h~s to r~ca l exlstence, but the fact remalns that populat~on I ~ m ~ t a t ~ o n , e~ther by mfantlclde or by the practlce of premature stdl b ~ r t h 1s and has been employed all over the globe,-among all prlml tlve, med~eval and more recent people Race l ~ m ~ t a t ~ o n is not modern The recent element IU thls movement IS merely the d~scuss~on of whether or not mature persons should know con traceptlcs, whether race l ~ m ~ t a t ~ o n m ~ g h t not be practiced with out c h ~ l d murder or c r ~ m ~ n a l practlce

In any consideration of the modem Birth Control movement a br~ef h~s to r~ca l perspective 1s necessary

First, however, a summary of the conclus~ons to be reached will be glven

By $uch a summary ~t IS seen that some form of family or population l ~ m ~ t a t ~ o n IS as old as the human race, and has accompan~ed ~t durmg the whole of its long journey from the T r l n ~ l man of Java to the present day apartment house dweller

S t~ l l , desplte such restrictions of race fecund~ty, the number of mhab~tants of the world has increased stupendously duvng the past century, mak~ng the population problem one of great slgmficance

HE PROSPECT OF overcrowd~ng, due to t h ~ s enormous growth In the number of the mhabltmts of the world.

has come to be met today by the modern sc~entlfic form of famdy I~mltatlon, the use of contraceptlcs T h e ~ r use does not affect necessar~ly-though ~t may and often does-the surv~val rate, but merely controls the blrth rate Moreover, t h e ~ r employment does not lower the moral tone or lmpalr the health of the natlons and classes maklng a w ~ d e use of them, on the contrary, t h e ~ r utlllzat~on may ralse the moral tone and Improve the health of the people resorting to them

Another polnt to recognize 1s that a dlmlnut~on of the rate of ~ncrease among the poverty classes is a prlme necessity for the elevat~on of the standards of those classes, and for then ultimate abol~tlon The extlrDatlon of those classes 1s the

They are to be found In such measures as the s t r~ct enforce ment of compulsory education and chdd labor laws, the d ~ s couragement of lrrespous~hle procreation, and the llke The rate of increase of the poverty group w ~ l l be d~mln~shed to a salutary point by these varlous activities coupled mth the free d~ssemmatlon of contraceptlcs and lnstructlon In their use

E MUST NOT be led mto the behef that famlly llmlta t o n a c e sucde,'' IS new, or c o n n e d to cultural

groups of an effete soclety The hmitat~on of populat~on has been In vogue throughout the entlre span of human exlstence Among the prlmitlve and seml clvll~zed peoples t h ~ s takes the iorm of mfantmde, and abortion or fetmde

The Austrahan aborlgmes pract~ced mfantmde almost unl versally, slnce they were nomadlc and the women could not carry two ch~ldren Then, too, male jealousy comlng In, the natlve men destroyed all half whlte ch~ldren The war hke natlves of New Zealand, on the contrary, seldom indulged In ~nfautmde, they wanted the boys for warrlors and the girls as breeders Among these b e l l ~ ~ e r e n t Maori the decim~nat~on of war acted as a suffic~ent populat~onal check The Papuans of Geelv~nk Bay, New Gumea, keep down the number of chll dren by abort~on, whlle throughout Dutch New Gumea the women wdl not rear more than two or three offsprings They fear the food supply will be too scanty On the New B r ~ t a ~ n Islands the women generally prevent the b ~ r t h of chddren untd subsequent to the second or fourth year after marriage, whde New Hebr~des women resort to ahort~on for egolstlc reasons- verv s~milar to present day cultured women,-aften procuring miscarriage by chmb~ng trees or by carrylng heavy loads

Very simdar conhtlons prevad among the aborlgmes of Afr~ca Fr~tsch remarks that fetlclde IS a comman custom In South Afnca, hkewlse, the Bondei of West Af r~ca strangle an Infant at b ~ r t h ~f the s~gns are unfavorable Most of the portents refer to the prospect of a good or bad season for food On the Zanz~bar coast the weak and deformed ch~ldren are exposed to death The Hottentots of the south do away w ~ t h female twlns thru prlvatlon and neglect, the Kahyls of the north kdl all llleg~tlmate, incestuous, or adultr~ne ch~ldren, and the Malagassans of Madascar destroy all ch~ldren born on unlucky days W h ~ l e the practlce meut~oned among the Kabyls and Malagassans IS ch~efly one of tabu, doubtless ~t had its orlgln In the desire to h m ~ t the number of offsprings

neglect, has for ages been a common practlce or even a gen ume custom among varlous Hmdu ca9tes"

Nor 1s the Western Hem~sphere an exception In the employ ment of populat~on l ~ m ~ t a t ~ o n Ovledo says that when South Amer~ca was first drscovered, the women of the m a d a n d "pract~ced abort~on In order not to spod therr bod~es by chdd bear~ng,"-a strategem of vanlty wh~ch many of then effete swters today employ ass~duously S p ~ x and Mart~us, d u r ~ n g then travels In Braz~l, found that the women "untd they are th~rty, procure abortron, to free themselves from the prlvatlons of pregnancy and the trouble of bnngmg up chddren " Today Amencan women may do the same t h n g to uphold them part In d a n c q clubs The South Amencan plams I n d ~ a n women, l lv~ng much on horseback, l ~ m ~ t e d then famhes so as not to be hmdered In travellmg w ~ t h them husbands When a trav eller reproached a woman of one of the South Amencan I n d ~ a n tnbes for the practlce of mfantlc~de, McLennan says he rece~ved the retort, "Men have no busmess to meddle In women's affalrs" Do modern, cultured women have spunk enough to lnslst upon the management of them own affairs?

S~mdar ly the Ind~ans of North Amerwa hab~tually employed fam~ly l lm~tat~on The p la~ns Ind~ans of t h ~ s continent re str~cted the number of the11 offsprmgs, whde the P m a s of Ar~zona and the Hyperboreans of the frozen northland stdl resort to mfantlc~de and fetmde

Much more ev~dence show~ng the evtent and varlety of mfant murder and abort~on among prlmltlve and seml c~vl l~zed peoples m ~ g h t be adduced However, ~t IS thought the fore gomg w ~ l l su5ce I t IS seen Professor W G Sumner was just~fied In concluding "abort~on and mfantmde are so nearly un~versal In savage hfe, e~ther as egolstlc or group pollcj, that exceptions to the practlce of these vlces are noteworthy phenomena "

OR WERE THE prlmttlve folk alone In those customs Those practices were more or less prevalent among the

peoples of antlque clvllrzat~on and durmg the clvll~zat~onal swlngback denommated "The M~ddle Ages "

Thus In anclent Greece and Rome the employment of Infant murder and fetwde were common and often enjomed by law Such methods of famdy l lm~ta t~on were a part of the mores Westermarck remarks of Greece

"The exposure of deformed and s~ckly mfants was undoubt edly an anclent custom In Greece, In Sparta, at least, ~t was

enjomed by law It was also approved b j the most enlghtene? among the Greek phdoaophers Plato condemned to death all those ch~ldren who are mperfect In l m h s as well as those who are born of depraved cttlzens "

Says Anstotle "It IS necessary to take care that the Increase of the people

should not exceed a certaln number In order to a v o ~ d poverty and ~ t s concomitants, s e d ~ t ~ o n and other ev~ls"

Of Rome Seneca observes "We destroy monstrous b~rths, and we drown unnaturally formed"

Ov~d, Seneca, Plutarck, Favonnus and Juvenal speak of abort~on as general and notorlous In anclent Rome Dur~ng the latter years of the Republ~c and early years of the Emp~re mfan t~c~de merged largely Into fetlc~de, wh~ch floursrhed among certam classes of the Roman populat~on

The wanlng Repubhc and early Emptre saw the advent and growth of C h r ~ s t ~ a n ~ t y The r e l ~ g ~ o n of Jesus, tak~ng ~ t s e th~cs from the Jew~sh moral code, condemned mfantmde and abor tlon allke The C h r ~ s t ~ a n doctrme ma~nta~ned and stdl clams that the soul or spmt enters the chdd ~mmed~ately upon con ceptlon, d~f fe r~ng there~n from the tenets of Islam, wh~ch aver the soul comes after the fifth month of pregnancy From the trme of ~ t s advent and early growth In Rome to the present day, C h r ~ s t ~ a n ~ t y has used every power In ~ t s hands to extirpate lnfantmde and fetmde Under ~ t s Influence the most repres srve laws have been enacted,-laws pun~shmg wlth death and excommunlcatlon those practmng those vlces Its efforts have been, however, m the maln unsuccessful

A Distinguished Champion of Birth Control T HIS DISTINGUISHER Engl~shman, who 1s to speak pub

hcly for the first tlme In Amer~ca at the Birth Control Conference, 1s one of the most unfl~nchmg and clear s~ghted of European publlc~sts HIS champ~onsh~p of Blrth Control as the most fundamental necessity of modern soclety 1s based upon a prolonged study of soc~al and economlc problem> Harold Cox br~ngs to t h ~ s great queshon not the fiery en thus~asm of youth-such enthus~asm 1s too apt to flare up suddenly and as suddenly d ~ e down On the contrary, Harold Cox's conv~ctlon 1s based upon thorough and w~despread study and lnvestlgatlon As the Yorksh~re Post once wrote "The whole saence of figures 1s an open book to h ~ m " A br~ef sketch of h ~ s career may ~ n d ~ c a t e the sohd foundahons of h ~ s convlctlons concerning B ~ r t h Control

Born In 1859, educated at Tonbr~dge School, Harold Cox entered Jesus College, Cambr~dge, where he became pres~dent of the Cambridge Un~on-Mathemat~cal T r ~ p o s m 1882 Sub sequently he lectured for the Carnbr~dge Unwers~ty Extenaon To acqulre first hand knowledge of worklng class cond~t~ons he worked for an entlre year In Kent and Surrey as an agricultural laborer Followed two years In the teachmg of mathemat~cs In a Mohammedan College In I n d ~ a Mr Cox returned to England In 1887, and read for the bar But he finally deaded to enter ~ o u r n a l ~ s m From 1889 to 1904 he was secretary of the Cobden Club In 1906 he was elected to Parhament as member from Preston

N THE HOUSE OF COMMONS he won an env~able record I for truth and honesty and outr~ght speakmg HE brlll~ant luc~dlty, h ~ s msstery of fact compactly marshalled, Irrefutably presented and sk~lfully dlummated by qulet flashes of humor, all made him an outstanding figure In the House He had the power of holdmg h ~ s aud~ence spellbound, and t h ~ s led the Manchester Dzspatch to name h ~ m as "one of the finest speakers of the present generatlon" The Standard also spoke of t h ~ s g ~ f t of c o m m a n d ~ n ~ attention

"The dramat~c speech of the mght was by Harold Cox When he first rose few men were In the House But as the s~gna l ran through the lobby, readlng rooms and smok~ng rooms 'Cox IS up' the House began to fill He grlpped the assembly Into attent~on, and won a t r~umph not only by the courageous ~ n d r v ~ d u a l ~ t ~ of h ~ s vlews, but by the way In wh~ch he got all men to h e n to h ~ m "

On another occaslon the Dally Telegraph confessed that Harold Cox qulte took the debatlng honors away from Lloyd George I t descr~bes t h ~ s occaslon

"The debatlng t r~umph of the day belonged, not to Mr Lloyd George, but to Mr Harold Cox And surely few prl vate members have ever had such a strlk~ng t r~bute p a ~ d to them ~ntellectual powers as that s~lently p a ~ d to the member from Preston hy the crowded state of the House of Commons at the beg~nnlng of the sluing when he rose to contmue the debate The Chamber was as full as it IS when some great measure 1s about to be mtroduced Hardly a mmlster or ex

mlnlster was absent from h ~ s place, and the Prem~er and h ~ s colleagues llstened w ~ t h close attent~on whde then br l l l~ant follower analyzed thew land taxes with mercdess sarcasm and sharp lnclslve comment It was done In perfect temper, and 11 as ~mmensely admlred "

ROM 1910 to 1912 Mr Cox was a n Alderman of the Lon don County Counc~l, an oRice that gave h ~ m splendld op

portunlty to study the questions of poverty and over popula tion In 1912 he assumed the ed~torsh~p of the Edmburgh Revsew, a poslt~on he has held ever smce Many valuable papers on Birth Control have appeared In ~ t s pages, lnclud~ng those of that h r~ lhan t churchman Dean Inge

In the pages of prominent London d a ~ l ~ e s Harold Cox mlsses no opportunity to polnt out the Birth Control aspects of the problems that confront Great Br~tarn and the world A sk~lled and honest dmlectm~an, he 1s as energetic m h ~ s attacks upon such reactlonary bod~es as the Elshops of the Church of England as upon unthmkmg and superfic~al reformers

Harold Cox rlghtly looks upon thls great problem not as a theoretical and prospective one "It IS actual and pract~cal The mherent power of Increase m our populat~on 1s today be mg checked, and always has been checked Both the prudentla1 check of a controlled b ~ r t h rate and the punltlve check of an exaggerated death rate are today operatlve "

HIS travels In the Orlent showed Harold Cox that m "these great hwes of human~ty the masses of the populat~on-partly as from a chddhke obed~ence to re l~g~ous dogma-pour chd dren Into the world w~thout the sl~ghtest regard for them pros peck of malntenance 4s a necessary consequence the c h ~ l dren d ~ e hke f l~es" From the pomt of vlew of the woman, Mr Cox also emphas~zes the Importance of B~r th Control "If a woman IS called upon to have ch~ldren as often as 1s

phys~cally poss~hle, her hfe 1s one long ~llness, and her ch11 dren are denled that ~nd lv~dua l motherly care wh~ch 13 one of the most valuable elements In the rearlng of fine types of man hood and womanhood "

S FOR THE opposltlon from certaln phjslc~ans and the so A called moral opposltlon of the clergy, Harold Cox ha. pertmently remarhed, first of these 'Lmed~cal men" "The~r condemnailon of Blrth Control carrles llttle we~ght In the face of the s ta t~st~cal fact that the b ~ r t h rate among med~cal men 1s lower than that m any other class In the community" The clergy llkewlse has a low b ~ r t h rate "The real we~ght of the oppo.~ty to Blrth Control comes from a sectlon of the clergy of the establ~shed Church of England, and from prac tlcally all the clergy of the Church of Rome Both these groups preach the duty of un l~m~ted procreation Yet the clergy of the Church of England have ceased to have the large famllles for wh~ch they were once famous, and now rwal the doctors In them low blrth rate, the clergy of the Church of Rome are cellbate '

promment Femmsts of our day to h ~ s ~conoclast c book on Fem~n~sm-"The Founda~~ons of Femmrsm" Able wrlters who have budt up then case for femmne superiority on Lester Ward's Gynaecocentr~c Theory of Lfe, or on the convlctlon that In the comlng together of the reproduct~ve cells the male cellule becomes fused and loses ~ t s lndlv~duahty In the female cellule, wdl not take lundly to Mr Barnett's b~olog~cal evl dence that these thlngs are not so

But ne~ther 1s Mr Barnett ant1 femln~st~c HIS proof of the greater var~abll~ty of women-that IS, of theu greater possl b l l~ t~es for attalnlng genlus, w~ l l please the Femlnlsts, but w ~ l l doubtless arouse the Ire of all the SII Almroth Wr~ghts and the whole camp of the ant1 Femln~sts

The value of Mr Barnett's blologlcal argument lles precisely

The Bzrth Control Revzew

m the fact that it favors neither one s ~ d e nor the other I t clears the air, and proves only one thing-that, m his own words, "Fem~n~sm ne~ther has, nor requires b~ologlcal ~ustifica tlon " B~ology may prove the greater variabihty of women, but what soclety wants, after all, is not to know whether more women than men are potentlal geniuses, but how to develop genius m the greatest number of individuals, both men and women

The polnt a t Issue 1s not the superiority or infer~or~ty of woman to man "Woman's sphere" IS obviously comprised In those actlvlties Ir soclety wh~ch w ~ l l enable her to develop the richest personality, to contr~bute to the greatest extent to the progress of c~vlllzat~on, and to glve blrth to the best possrble race

NSOFAR AS Mr Barnett's arguments prove that m the I the sphere of motherhood woman can best accomplish these thlngs, so far h ~ s arguments are sound Regard~ng them en trance Into the sphere of Industry he says "The economlc stress whlch forces women into unllmlted competltlon wlth men IS, I am certaln, harmful," but he reallzes here that the woman problem becomes ~dentlcal w ~ t h the labor problem The fact that ~ndustry 1s c r ~ p p l ~ n g women 1s not In Itself any evidence of thew unfitness for ~t The fault hes In the hard condlt~ons of the mdustr~al system Itself, wh~ch cr~pples men as well as women

But he misunderstands Ol~ve Schremer In quotlng her sen

tence-"We c l a m all labor for our prov~nce," as evidence that women c l a m all the hard, monotonous work of the world as the11 sphere What Olive Schremer was here contending for was the removal of artlfic~al restrictions wh~ch excluded woman from certam fields of actlvlty on the ground of her sex alone We do not all want to he deep sea divers or cotton mlll operatives, but we c l a m the r ~ g h t to these actlvltles ~f one of our sex deslres to do such work

In splte of the fact, however, that Mr Barnett th~nks the entrance of women In ~ndustry has had a harmful effect on them phys~cally, he realms it has had a real educat~onal value

"Confined to the home and home ~ndustr~es, as they had been m the past, the worldly expertence that IS necessary to an intelligent understandlng of l ~ f e was unknown to them W ~ t h the11 entrance Into modern mdustry the great forces In our modern complex c ~ v i l ~ z a t ~ o n have become part of then every day hfe, and t h ~ s invaluable educat~on has brought an en l~ghtenment to woman that no end of preachmg or exhortation could Impress upon her The d~slllusionment that labor b r~ngs IS known to her, and the Ideal of an enhghtened career of motherhood beckons to her"

Mr Barnett's book 1s a valuable add~tlon to the literature of Femm~sm, and ~f much of h ~ s crltlclsm seems destructwe ~t IS

because he 1s convmced that "Femln~sm has now reached the stage when a strong and v~gorous catharsrs 1s the only thmg that wdl energlze it" and we agree with hlm

Sidelights on Selling 'The Review " By M a y Morgan

T HE BIRTH CONTROL REVIEW was sold on Flfth Ave durlng the M ~ l k Fund Dnve The host~le reception

glven to the magazlne and 11s sellers along the route of sale was

~ l lum~natmg I t would seem that anyone on the streets that

day should have grasped the fact that ~f parents knew how to

llmlt the number of then ch~ldren to those they could support,

such glgant~c char~tles as a tag day Mdk Fund for under

nourlshed bables would be unnecessary

It IS pathetrc that what 1s for the advantage of the people

often has to be so pat~ently and laboriously ~nstdled Con

servatlsm has been sald to be the "governor" of the human

race or otherwise we would be gnlng off at a tangent or whlrl

mg around In our oplnlons lrke a weather cock In a strong

breeze But ~f conservatism IS a regulator of customs and

bellefs, then the best that can be s a ~ d of ~ t , IS that ~t IS often

so choked up by the cold accumulated 011s of prejudice that ~t retards progress by the slowness of ~ t s revolutions as much as 12 stead~e ~t The tlme wdl come when voluntary mother hood wlll he recogn~zed as the most clvlllz~ng ~nfluence that has been brought before the world slnce chrrstlan~ty struggled ~ t s way Into the mtelllgence and hearts of the people But a t present ~t IS t a k q tons of energy In ~ t s behalf to get ounces of results

OR ALMOST SUPERHUMAN courage and persistence IS

requ~red m educatmg people to what IS so pla~nlv obv~ous to the progresswe thmker And always acute psycho log~cal finesse must be exercised In lead~ng vour pub l~c up to the Idea, and m patrent waltlng for the subs~dence of the shock to the Ignorant or prejudiced mlnd before advancing forward on another step If you have ever seen a fractious horse broken, you w ~ l l understand somewhat the p o l ~ c ~ e s fol lowed In accustoming the mlnd of the populace to a new Idea Over and over agaln the Idea must be brought before ~t and held there steadlly and pers~stently as a tralner leads a green horse, whlch 1s to he broken to clty uses, up and down busy streets and beslde runnmg electrlc cars untll the horse lrarns he has a place In the streets and ceases to rear and plunge and tremble at the movlng cars and clangng gongs

And on t h ~ s partrcular tag day, Into the crowd that had collected on the sidewalks to watch the clrcus parade came we wlth our BIRTH CONTROL REVIEWS We all had experiences

and one In relatmg hers sald that one woman told her that she would l ~ k e to shoot her for sellmg the BIRTH CONTROL REVIEW A whlte halred refined look~ng old lady who was collectmg money for the Mllk kund, and who had certainly reached the age when actrng well bred should have been second nature to her, but ev~dently was not, hysterically trled to make her glve herself up to the pol~ce for arrest and bemg

unsuccessful pers~sted m standmg m front of her and clamor mg "WE want to SAVE the bab~es, not KILL them " A l~t t le later on a man became rahld at the s~ght of her magazlne and announced to the crowd as well as to her, that he knew a Chr~stlan woman who had grven b~ r th to fifteen chlldren Our volunteer could not reslst snappmg back that she d ~ d not thmk the Lord would ser~ously object ~f the woman were to hold off havmg the s~xteenth for a whde Occas~onally our sellers were bombarded w~th such ep~thets as "absurd, ndicu lous" and such ltke But to compenate for these they fre quently saw both men and women look at them w~th wstful expression, but such IS the cowardness of human nature that these men and women often had qot the moral courage to buy before the crowd Many tunes men stepped unobtruswely up to our seller sand passlng correct change would s~multaneously take the paper displayed In them hand and d~sappear Per haps the tlme wdl come when, thanks to Margaret Sanger and her persistent courage, to d~scuss sex matters w ~ l l not be con s~dered a ven~al sln

T THE PUBLIC LIBRARY those who were sellmg the A BIRTH CONTROL REVIEW were subjected to qulte a hum11 latlng experience There three or four women who were ac t~vely Interested ~n the M~lk Fund demonstration accosted them about the BIRTH CONTROL REVIEW In qulte an abus~ve and personal manner

At the tlme our women came m front of the L~brary there were no demonstrations of any kmd gomg on, and they could

not see why the presence of the paper should arouse such antagonlsm, even though the Milk Fund ladles d ~ d not agree w~th ~ t s pol~cies There are perhaps many thmgs of whlch these unduly exc~ted ladles do not approve, but we doubt ~f they are as hysterical about all the~r aversrons as they are about Blrth Control If a recogmzed murderer had come among them, mstead of our propaganda journal, ~t 1s a q u a tlon d they would have been aroused to such expressions of outraged feehngs

There IS no doubt that the vehement antagonlsm that 1s often shown towards Blrth Control IS psychologcal, some s t ~ r r ~ n g of unconscious or S U ~ C O ~ S C ~ O U S sex emot~on Sex relations m dulged In IS one thmg, but sex relations &scussed 1s qulte another From chddhood, as we all know, we are taught that sex relat~ons and all correlatives are somethmg to he tabooed, espec~ally In conversation As the chdd IS the father of the man, ~t 1s mherent In the adult to revolt when confronted wlth d~scuss~on of the questlon And the h ~ g work of the cohorts of the Blrth Control movement IS to wear away thls prur~ent repugnance to d~scuss~on of sex questions People must be come accustomed to ~t so that they wlll q u ~ t shy~ng at ~ t s approach and use that energy to thmk, and ~t w l l then be found that voluntary motherhood has been accepted at ~ t s face value Therefore Bnth Control propaganda and the BIRTH CONTROL REVIEW must he brought before the publ~c at every opportunlty, and so ~t behooves you to pass along the magazine ~ n d to brmg the subject before your own small aumences at every opportunlty In other words "do your ~ t ' "
