Possibly drastic and Spartan methods may be forced upon American society if it continues complacently to encourage the chance and chaotic breeding that has resulted from our stupid, cruel sentimentalism.

Many people are horrified at the idea of birth control. . . . It is simply the keynote of a new moral program.

Negroes and Southern Europeans are mentally inferior to native born Americans.
