American pro: Cruel Progress Hw’ times do not weaken the hu- man ice; they strengthen it. according to Professor Conklin, the Princeton biologist. He says: “Som of the weaker, according to the law of nature, will naturally die under the stress of the times. Others will not propavrate their kind. The strony end the hardy will survive and pro- duce, and thus the human race will be strengthened.” This is bitter truth, the Chinese philosoph only cure for excessive breeding and over-population are the ghastly famines and bloody warfare which have cursed China for centuries. But the march of progress need not be so cruel. The human mind alread: knows better ways of strenytheniny: itcelf and the body it serves.
