WHITE AUSTRALIAN PROBLEM.
MENTAL HYGIENE,
(United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright )
WASHINGTON, May 7
Doctor Noble, the Australian delegate at the first meeting of the International Committee for Mental Hygiene, made a plea for an interna- . tio 1 understanding of Australia’s co-operation in the White Australia policy. He said such an_ understanding was a most important factor to the country’s mental hygiene. He stated by means of racial purity Australia was seeking to avoid many problems of which representatives of other nations spoke, and which showed to !b© on' the increase due to intermixture of races. .
Dr Emerson, of New York, and Professor of Public Health, stated by such a policy of strengthening the mental and physical purity of the race, Australia might expect to avoid the suicide problem, which had been quadrupled in United States in seventy years, and the divorce problem which had been tripled in' the United States in fifty years.
