XO concession for the ownersh;
of the important iron and coal min<
and factories in the Kuzbaz has
of Siberia has been granted to th
group of Americans and Russia
Americans who came from the Uu
ted States to found an auiomonot
colony in Siberia.
Ludwig Martens, formerly Sovit
representative in the United State
and now connected with the Sut
reme Econimic Council, has explair
ed the Kuzbaz situation co the Ai
soeiated Press correspondent.
"The Kuzbaz concession is to
important a proposition to be hanc
led without big capital.” said Ml
Martens. "The coal deposits ar
mvch richer than those in the Dor
etz basin. Those who have come t
Kuzbaz from the United States wi.
be granted the right to have an Air
erican manager for the works i
sufficient Americans come, but the
will work for the Russian govern
ment. There is r.o concession."
About 500 persons already hav
come from America to work t.les
properties. Several thousand wer
expected. William E. Haywood, Am
v erican I. W. W. leader, was one o
the principal promoters of the Ku
Laz project.
The Bureau of Mines, at its ex
periment station a: Fairbanks, Alas
ka. is endeovoring to assist in th'
mineral development of Alaska b;
encouraging prospectors to send t.
the tsation samples which may b
thought to contain metallic value
These samples are examined and th
prospectors informed as to wha
they are and whether they contaii
metallic or other values to justif;
their being assayed or analized
If those submitting the sample
have an assay or an analysis made
a charge is made for the work, a
it is the policy of the Bureau o:
Mines not :o do work which can b<
done by a commercial assayer
chemist, or engineer. In other word:
a policy not generally pursued a:
the Bureau’s various experimenl
stations has been adoped in Alaska
largely because of the great diffi
culty experienced by prospectors ir
having assays and analytical wort
performed. The moneys received
are turned over to Che Treasure!
of the United States to the credil
of miscellaneous receipts.
Since the establishment of the ex
periment station at Fairbanks, there
have been made the following deter
minations either as custom assays
or in connection widh investigations
nr official work: gold and silver.
1783; platium 60 (total fusions
4524, cupellations 21541; all other
determinations. 725. Nearly 1600
mineral samples have been submit
ted to the station for identification

p cause it is one of iht first steps to
5 ward degeneration. is the opion of
n Professor Herman Lundborg. head
e of the Race Biological Institute at
n Upsala, Sweden, and well known
- for his investigations into eugenics
s an racial biology. Prosperity brings
with it the gradual elimination of
t the good old middle class, the pr >
. i feasor declared in a -ecent address
_ i on this subject, and this in any
country is a sure sign of decay.
' “There is grave doubt” the speaker
j continued, whether a people really
1 gains any profit when millions of
money begin to pour into the coun
ery. Experience, past as well as
' i present, shows that wealth is sud
' l denly increased it brings endless
new needs. Luxuries are demanded,
j i lass:tude sets in, and the interest
in work and production fails off.
(Women begin to avoid maternity,
j All of these processes.beginning in
1 the middle and upper classes.gTad
ually work downward and in time
destroy the race. Thus they are as
much menace to a country as a
powerful political enemy.”
I The professor approves of birth
, control, however, especially among
t j the less desirable elements of a
'; country’s population, and he believes
that the reproduction of a race
should be limited, as far as possible,
to those who are “well-born". He is
, stoutly opposed to the mixing of
races, and gives this as one of the
reasons why population in larger
cities tend to degenerate, except in
so far as racially replenished from
the country districts.
Europe is decaying, not only as
a result of political cataclysms, but
also because of a misconception of
racial hygiene, and a failure to
counteract the forces of degenera
tion. A strong middle class is nec
essary for the racial health of a
people. Increasing industry and
trade make it possible to feed a
larger population, but at the same
time brings about a serious change
in the structure of society. The old
middle class decays and finally dis
appears. A new middle class is form
ed, to be sure, but it is of poorer
.substance. Meanwhile there is num
erical gain in both the upper and
the lower classes, especially the lat-'
ter. In time the working class be
comes the largest, and underneath
this comes a layer of human trash.”
Just what political measure, if
any, should be taken to safeguard
racial vigor and purity Professor
Lundborg does not suggest, saying
that such discussion would naturally
fall outside the province of a scient
ist.
