If there is any chance at all for our civilization, flimsy as it is, this world must be ruled by the Nordic European races, not by the southern, eastern and southeastern European barbarian Semite. We must rule for our own sake and for their sake; they can not rule anything. If we do not rule them, then welcome the final curtain as soon as possible. How can we rule America, not to think of the rest of the world, unless we have Nordic children to take our place, and how can we have such children if we let sex-brained misfits run about spreading contraceptive drivel? The rascal that preaches such doctrine is a traitor to America, the worst enemy our country ever has had, more treacherous than any spy that sneaked in among us during the war just past. The French have had their lesson in birth control, and we should learn from their misfortune. In the first six months of 1914 when Europe was still at peace the total number of births in France was 381,398; a decrease of 4,000 on the year 1913. At the same time the deaths increased 20,845. Thus the population of France during the first six months of 1914 decreased 24,816. For the past thirty years the birth rate of that country has steadily decreased by contraceptive methods, while the death rate has increased proportionately to the number of inhabitants. January, 1916, found France with about seven hundred thousand less people than she had in January, 1914, and then came the horrible carnage of the great war. No matter what change of heart war may bring to France no increase in her population can be expected for many years yet to come. She is daily crying out to the world for treaties to protect her from Germany, despite the prostration of Germany, because she knows Germany had a birth rate of two males for her one, and for twenty years to come Germany probably can put twice as many men into the field as France can. If France will give over her unclean birth control she will not need to whine for protection.
The advocates of birth control assert that it lessens venereal diseases. It does not; it increases the spread of venereal disease. The more reasonable among the birth control propagandists are anxious lest their public talks suggest temptation to the young. There is at present for youth the deterrent of the natural consequences of lust; with birth control knowledge spread broadcast that check is removed and promiscuity will become more general, because safer socially. Venereal diseases will spread also as incontinence spreads. Nowhere in the world has the crime of birth control been practised as in France nor for a longer time, and in that country together with the lowest birth rate in the world there is the highest death rate from venereal diseases according to Dr. Dublin the statistician of the New York Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. Not long ago one of the leading medical writers of France, Doyen, said in the Academy of Medicine in Paris that syphilis is the chief cause of death in France. France now asserts she has given over birth control, but that is a hard disease to cure after it has been established. Unchastity is its own punishment, and if France goes the way of those nations that have died along the pathway of civilization, and great would be the pity, she has nothing to blame for it but this abominable moral leprosy, birth control. She is as striking an example of the insanity of birth control as Russia is of the insanity of communism.
