Race, Nationalism, Eugenics, Crime, Narcotics


    Details that article's claims that the British race is superior because, amongst other things, of the 'tendency of our moral and mental weaklings to indulge in excess in intoxicants', which 'indulgence in the drinking habit shortens the victims' lives, precluding them from bringing into the world other weaklings', and complains that the 'strange intermixture of the grotesque and the serious leaves one in an uncertainty whether the paper is or is not meant as an elaborate pleasantry'.
