Diplomats Make It Their Business To Conceal

We Are Paying For And Even Submitting To The Dictates Of An Ever Increasing, Unceasingly Spawning Class Of Human Beings Who Never Should Have Been Born At All-that The Wealth Of Individuals And Of State Is Being Diverted From The Development And The Progress Of Human Expression And Civilization.

The Emergency Problem Of Segregation And Sterilization Must Be Faced Immediately.

Birth Control Is Not Contraception Indiscriminately And Thoughtlessly Practiced. It Means The Release And Cultivation Of The Better Racial Elements In Our Society, And The Gradual Suppression, Elimination And Eventual Extirpation Of Defective Stocks — Those Human Weeds Which Threaten The Blooming Of The Finest Flowers Of American Civilization.

Life Has Taught Me One Supreme Lesson. This Is That We Must—if We Are Really To Live At All, If We Are To Enjoy The Life More Abundant Promised By The Sages Of Wisdom—we Must Put Our Convictions Into Action. My Remuneration Has Been That I Have Been Privileged To Act Out My Faith.

As An Advocate Of Birth Control I Wish ... To Point Out That The Unbalance Between The Birth Rate Of The 'unfit' And The 'fit,' Admittedly The Greatest Present Menace To Civilization, Can Never Be Rectified By The Inauguration Of A Cradle Competition Between These Two Classes. In This Matter, The Example Of The Inferior Classes, The Fertility Of The Feeble-minded, The Mentally Defective, The Poverty-stricken Classes, Should Not Be Held Up For Emulation.... On The Contrary, The Most Urgent Problem Today Is How To Limit And Discourage The Over-fertility Of The Mentally And Physically Defective.
