It is also necessary that an investigation be organized by all governments 

 interested in immigration in regard to conditions existing in their respective 

 home countries so that investigations may be made with reference to trans- 

 mission of recessive characters. This is impossible to accomplish at present 

 with solely an individual inspection of the immigrant, even if said inspection 

 were as thorough as it is possible to make it. 



It may also be stated that we will not be absolutely assured of being able 

 to defend ourselves against the possible transmission of cacogenic factors 

 of recessive nature if the right to select immigration in the country of origin 

 is not complemented with a right to exercise deportations as far back as the 

 first generation after immigration, whether this be pure or hybrid. In 

 the second case, there should exist the defensive right to prove the existence 

 of cacogenic factors in the native gamete. 



As far as this subject has been discussed we have considered a native 

 people of racial uniformity, but this is not always the case. The majority 

 of nations today are formed by various sub-races and some by different 

 races. 



A nation is an artificial unit; its organization and stability depend upon 

 political developments. A race is composed of natural human units sub- 

 ject only to biological modifications that man can improve by exercising a 

 control on its mixture, or through selection among individuals of the same 

 race, as it is done at the present and has been done in the past for sometime, 

 with various species of animals and plants. 



The defence of one's Race and Nation is not incompatible, and National 

 and International laws should not make it so. This statement also refers 

 to the relationship between nation and family stock, adding that in the 

 future, Race and Family Stock will be considered above all. 



In every nation composed of a heterogenous race it is necessary to con- 

 sider the quantitative proportion, and, this ratio in the native population 

 should be taken into account in computing the admission of immigrants. 



To resume the study of methods of application, as we resume the biological 

 study on which these methods should be based, we must allow the right of 

 each nation to only admit the immigrant that is suitable, without this 

 right being in any way a matter of offense to any other country. 



The same should be taken into consideration as a base for the right of a 

 racial body to preserve the purity of its physical and mental characteristics 



(Nine) 4. The nations of America will issue and apply immigration laws that will 

 bar entry to their territory of individuals of all races whose association may be considered 

 as biologically undesirable."
