Quotes:
Compulsion:
"permanent detention of all confirmed habitual criminals... To save the race compulsion would be necessary in many cases... compulsion should only be employed to enforce imprisonment or segregation; the latter term meaning confinement in comfort. Compulsion is now permitted if applying to criminals, lunatics, and mental defectives; and this principle must be extended to all who, by having offspring, would seriously damage future generations." "Race Deterioration and Practical Politics" ER, 1925-26

Personal:
1913 First General Secretary, Bureau of Social Hygiene; former commissioner of Charities and Correction, New York "where she came under [Margaret Sanger's] venomous attack in 1917 as the individual responsible for the inferior conditions of the prisons in which [sanger] and her sister were incarcerated" (Chesler, p. 277); 1913 superintendent of Bedford Hills Reformatory for Women; 145 E. 35th St., New York City 1921
Background:
The Bureau of Social Hygiene was a John D. Rockefeller Jr. project. Its purpose was `the study, amelioration and prevention of those social conditions, crimes and diseases which adversely affect the well being of society'. It had a Social Darwinist orientation. Davis sought to create a Criminalistic Institute in which women convicted of crime would be studied and those incapable of reform would be permanently detained to keep them from perpetuating their kind. Rockefeller gave $200, 000 to set up the Institute, which operated out of the Bedford Hills Institute where Davis was superintendent and the New York City Courts (see L. E. Bisch). C. B. Davenport was associated with this enterprise. Speaking of the BSH he said: "Would that its [our country's] motto were : All men are born unequal" (from Mehler, Sources in the Study of Eugenics, Mendel Newsletter, Nov., 1978. In 1913 in England a law sponsored by the Eugenics Society was passed which allowed permanent detention of the feebleminded. In 1970 two women detained since 1923 under this law were removed from an insane asylum after it was determined that they were not insane but rather had been pregnant and unmarried in 1923. (see David Suzucki's book on madness)
Background:
In 1924 Davis recommended that Rockefeller donate $10,000 to Margaret Sanger's research. He donated $5,000 anonymously using the Bureau of Social Hygiene as a conduit. "This private support was renewed each year thereafter at approximately the same levels, and in 1925 and 1926 the Bureau of Social Hygiene also made two additional anonymous contributions of $10,000 to facilitate ... co-operation between Sanger and Dickinson [q.v.]" (Chesler p. 277); and see Rockefeller q.v.

This report discusses work done at the Institute of Behavior Genetics in Colorado, which is headed by John C. DeFries. The Institute says that genes contribute to alcohol and drug abuse in individuals with an anti-social personality disorder. The Report also discusses fetal exposure to testosterone. According to the BioScience article, the Report says that "girls who were accidentally exposed to androgenic steroids in utero showed an increased tendency to be more aggressive than their peers whereas boys who were accidentally exposed to anti androgenic steroids were not as aggressive as their peers" p. 292-293, "The Biology of Violence", BioScience, May 1994.
The NIH Conference on Violence has been rescheduled for 1995. One of the people at the Univ. of Maryland Institute sponsoring this conference is D. Gottfredson. Research is needed in this area to determine whether she is related to Linda Gottfredson, the SSSB director, or any of the other Gottfredsons concentrated in the field of violence, crime and black inferiority.

Background:
Influence of the Population Council:
The Population Council, which was founded by Frederick Osborn and John D. Rockefeller III, had a major influence in developing US population policy. The major players in this development were eugenicists. This history is explored in an article "The Rockefeller Foundation, the Population Council and the Groundwork for New Population Policies" by John B. Sharpless of the University of Wisconsin, Madison. The article was published in the Rockefeller Archive Center Newsletter, Fall, 1993. The following are the major points made by this article. I urge those interested in population policy to obtain the whole article.
" ... I [John B. Sharpless] have been engaged in an extensive study of the role of the United States government in determining the direction of world population and resources issues since 1945 ... the impact of the nonprofit sector in defining the terms of the public policy debate on population and economic development was so important that it was impossible to complete my study without an extended stay at the Rockefeller Archive Center, which held ... the files of the Rockefeller Foundation (RF), the records of the Population Council, and the personal papers of John D. Rockefeller III ... Following are some of the initial observations generated by my research. Foundations and individual philanthropists are important in understanding the impressively quick and nearly unanimous change in attitudes and ideas about population that occurred during the 1960s. ... one crucial factor was the development of a safe reliable means of family planning ... The philanthropic community, with its subsidy of research and institution building in the 1940s and 1950s played a decisive role in laying the groundwork for the process of change. But it did more than simply support contraceptive research, for the nonprofit sector was where the debate over the population problem actually played itself out, ultimately defining how the policy issue would be viewed in the period which followed. [emphasis added] ... [the Population Council made sure that] ... research would take place in both the social as well as the biological sciences ... this effort was not simply an exercise in pure science but one which aimed specifically at policy ... not only the legitimation of the `science' of demography but also the acceptance of demography as a policy science ... they were slowly encouraging an evolution in thinking among `population specialists' to view intervention in demographic processes (particularly fertility) as not only appropriate but necessary. ... the 1950's witnessed the creation of a world wide network of `population experts' which had a core body of knowledge and a common mode of discourse: a singular shared set of assumptions about how population dynamics worked, ... and the terms under which intervention was appropriate. A consistency in methodology, analysis and language was forged by ... [a] small group of scholars located primarily in the U.S. but also in Britain, India and East Asia. The power to accomplish this task was based on their relationship with the philanthropic community. In addition to the RF and the Population Council, other Foundations active in this area included, the Ford Foundation, the Milbank Memorial Fund and, to a lesser extent, the Carnegie Corporation, and the Conservation Foundation ... also ... the `great benefactors' of population studies, a cadre of wealthy philanthropists ... who often approached this issue with almost evangelical fervor ... the most important among this group was John D. Rockefeller III (JDR 3rd .... the depth of his resources .. he used his influence with leaders throughout the world and lent the weight of his family's name ..." [but the Rockefeller Foundation was reluctant] "to provide large funds in this field" and "very slow to move on the issue" which "eventually prompted JDR 3rd to move independently to create the Population Council in 1952. ... The question of population policy always raised the issue of birth control, which was still politically taboo. ... [and also there was a] lack of consensus on what specific goals were to be pursued ... If, the [RF] directors asked, the problem of expanding population was as serious as JDR 3rd, Marston Bates, Marshall Balfour and Frank Notestein suggested [then what program should be established?] ... The internal reports which circulated among the RF staff became the basis for Population Council programming. Marshall Balfour and Frank Notestein, who were at the center of RF discussions, moved on to assist the Population Council in its early years. ... Bates's report on population problems ... was passed on to the Ford Foundation, which used it as part of their evaluation of the population problem. The Ford response was to move forward and offer the Population Council its first major outside support! ... By the end of the 1950s ... [JDR 3rd] and the leadership within the Population Council had expanded the base of support for intervention in population problems. They had promoted the training of experts and assisted in supporting contraceptive research. The way now smoothed and well-paved [!, ed. note], the RF could enter the field without controversy or discord."

But the license was denied and the clinic eventually was run by Dr. Dorothy Bocker; in Miami in 1936 DeVilbiss used WPA workers in "maternal health" clinics where she was giving out contraceptives; DeVilbiss wrote to Sanger about Florida birth rates among the unemployed: " It's either birth control or eugenic sterilization or it is 'curtains'" ... [Devilbiss] was unashamed of the number of women she sent from her clinic for sterilization at local hospitals on grounds of mental deficiency or psychiatric impairment under the state's eugenic law. She also admitted to [Margaret Sanger] that she routinely gave pregnant women capsules containing tiny potions of arsenic and other chemicals, which she encouraged them to take with quinine over a four day period, in order to produce an abortion" (Chesler p. 379)

Background
William Earl Dodge (1805-1883) founded Phelps Dodge & Company, the largest US. importer of metals in the nineteenth century. He owned timber in Michigan, a copper mine in Minnesota, and railroad stocks. In 1882 he bought the Copper Queen Mine, in Arizona.
Through what mechanism did control of these resources pass from the Indians to the Dodges? Would it not be just for the Dodges (and the Harrimans and Rockefellers) to give the Indian tribes a share in the corporations which took a given tribe's resources? a share which would be theirs for as long as the grass grows and the rivers run? The share could be related to the amount of public money spent e.g. cleaning up environmental damage caused by these corporations while owned by these families; paying interest on the national debt incurred fixing track for the Union Pacific. This money could be used first to build the great Indian universities of which Red Cloud dreamed. Afterwards, the educated tribes could shape their own destinies with their share of the resources whose value had been increased by industrialization. They would be a good influence on conservation.
Is there a gene for eugenics?
Grace Hoadley Dodge (1856-1914), granddaughter of W. E. Dodge, funded the New York College for the Training of Teachers (1887) which became Teachers College (1892) of Columbia University. She helped found the YWCA and was its first President (1905-1914). Many eugenicists went to Teachers College

Background:
"Richard Lynn's Evolutionary Account of Racial Differences in Intelligence"
"Richard Lynn's Evolutionary Account of Racial Differences in Intelligence", an article by Maria T. Phelps in Mankind Quarterly (Spring 1993, p. 295 ff) helps us to understand how all the different elements funded by the Pioneer Fund fit together. J. P. Rushton offered "support and helpful comments " on earlier drafts of this article. Miss Phelps tells us that "results from a number of studies examining genetic influences on intelligence, social attitudes and altruism, as well as the findings from the studies of monozygotic twins reared apart (e.g., Bouchard, Lykken, McGue, Segal and Tellegen, 1990; Rushton 1990) point to the profound impact of genes in the determination of human behavior." The Pioneer Fund is helping support the Minnesota Twin Study, see Bouchard q.v. for more on the study. She links the results from the twin studies to Darwinian evolutionary theory. "Clearly students of human behavior can no longer ignore the explanatory power of neo-Darwinian biology ... There is no logical reason why the evolutionary principles that account for so much of the variability in animal behavior cannot also be used to the same effect for human behavior." The Pioneer Fund is supporting the Charles Darwin Research Institute in its studies on human sociobiology. But Miss Phelps says that "when evolutionary principles are applied to the study of racial differences in behavior" many social scientists attack the project instead of the data. The Pioneer Fund gave money to study the politicization of science with respect to race. see R. A. Gordon q.v. and Linda Gottfredson q.v. for more information. Miss Phelps tell us that evolutionary theories "to account for racial differences in intelligence and behavior have been proposed" (p. 296) including that of Richard Lynn. Lynn's model "stresses the role of the ecological niche in shaping intellectual and cultural differences between the races (p. 296) ... The universality of racial differences in intelligence test performance and cultural complexity lead Lynn to suggest that they [race differences] must have evolved in accordance with the general principles of natural selection ... (p. 296) ... The problems of survival in cold northern latitudes ... required an increase in brain size and intelligence" (p. 297) The Pioneer Fund is supporting research into Lynn's theory through the Atlas Institute. It is also supporting the studies of intelligence of A. Jensen and H. J. Eysenck, studies Lynn relies on. These electrophysiological studies are supposed to be free of cultural bias. Lynn believes that "the reason Mongoloids have a more highly developed general intelligence than Caucasoids lies in the colder winters they experienced." But American Indians who are Mongoloids do not have a higher general intelligence than whites. How to account for this, asks Miss Phelps? Lynn's explanation is that the glaciation period called "Wurm", which happened about 24,000-10,000 years ago raised Mongoloid intelligence; but American Indians had already crossed into America and so did not have their IQ's raised. (p. 298) This supposes that Indians got to America ten to thirty thousand years earlier than most anthropologists think they did. Here, says Miss Phelps, Lynn is disagreeing the work of Joseph H. Greenberg, Christy G. Turner II, and Stephen Luke Zegura (q.v.) and with the work of L. L. Cavalli-Sforza (q.v.) (p. 298-302) ( For an account of the controversy over arrival time of the Indians in North America, read "Science and the Citizen, Early Arrivals", Scientific American, February 1992. One of the sites mentioned by Lynn is in Pennsylvania, a state in which many eugenic society directors, directors who are anthropologists, are now concentrated. This is an area in which Eugenics Watch research is needed.
The history of anthropology is strewn with the bones of error and fraud.) Miss Phelps proposes to save Lynn's theory about the effect of glaciation on intelligence by the suggestion that disease and war brought by the Spanish Roman Catholics wiped out the intelligent Indians. "Unlike the Macedonian policy in Persia ... the [Spanish] conquerors engaged in mass executions of the upper classes ... disease and war could also affect the populace by selective culling of the more intelligent members of Amerindian populations, just as World Wars I and II are suspected by some as having had a dysgenic impact on Europe." (p. 303, 305) Miss Phelps study ends here. However, it is clear that if Lynn's theory is accepted, then we have accepted a theory of African inferiority. Furthermore, the work of Gordon and Gottfredson will kick in at this point, work which links crime to genetics. And then the neo-Nazi links of the Pioneer Fund will enter into the policy making process in America.
