Racial Prejudices

Letter to the Editor.
JLIR. J- H. CURLE, in his interview with “P.1.M.” (May issue) seems to me to be very inconsistent. He speaks of “pin headed newspaper proprietors circulating sensational articles playing on national or racial prejudices.’’ Yet is he not a strong protagonist of racial prejudice?
All his books are full of it.
In the interview mentioned, he also says: “Imagine the Brazilian population in a few hundred years hence”—inferring that it will be something horrible. Why should it be? One can just as easily imagine it to be as good a population as any other in that time.
That halfcastes have the worst qualities of their parents in a fallacy, or a half truth; they have the best qualities of both, also. The attitude of the pure breeds to the halfcaste is the cause of the latter’s inferiority .complex.
Obviously, the only remedy for inter national strife is to do away with nation ahties. With only one race in the world, the human, there will be no racial pre judice. Therefore, mix them all together by marriage. Simultaneously form the United States of Europe-Asia, North and South America, and Africa. Later mix up these three. Then, in a few hundred jears mankind will be citizens or coun trymen of the world. discussion’ ** 18 &n subject for I am, etc.,
