C. M. Goethe letter about French and German eugenics laws

France, as you know, has a marvelously efficient system of registering aliens. Thru it, when a Frenchman loses his job, an alien is sent over the frontier to make room for him. As a result, France has practically no unemployment problem. French taxpayers need support no dole.

The law of differential birthrates works with tragic speed against the type that produces leadership. However one abhors dictatorship, one is also impressed that Germany, by sterilization, and by stimulating birthrates among the eugenically highpowered, is gaining an advantage over us as to future leadership. 30 years of research, much of it overseas, into these problems makes profound the conviction that we should (1st) pass a Quota Act against Latin America, (2nd) register all aliens (3rd) deport, like France, aliens to make jobs for the old American stock.
