National Geographic 1912


EUGENICS BEFORE HITLER.
January 1912, National Geographic Magazine
"Our Immigration Laws From The View-Point Of National Eugenics"
By Prof. Robert DeC. War, of Harvard University

As has been established already, Hitler and the Third Reich based their Eugenics programme on American Eugenics, which were enacted into law in at least 27 states in the good ole U.S. of A.. well before Hitler's time.

Our Immigration Laws From The View-Point Of National Eugenics
By Prof. Robert DeC. War, of Harvard University
January 1912
(The Full Article including original photocopy of magazine pages)
..."by selecting our immigrants through proper legislation, we have the power to pick out the best specimens of each race to be the parents of our future citizens."

Blacks are not discussed. Jews apparently are alluded to when the author states, "Yet there are certain parts of Europe from which no aliens should be allowed to enter this country, for reasons which are eugenically of the first importance."
