1. The many political parties tend to confuse national
issues, add to the expense of elections, and raise unnecessary
agitation. For this and other reasons, it would be best if
all political parties except the two major ones were
abolished.
\gum
2. If there are enough Negroes who want to attend dances at a local
dance hall featuring a colored band, a good way to arrange this
would be to have one all-Negro night, and then the whites could
dance in, peace the rest of the time.
\gum 3.
Patriotism and loyalty are the first and most important requirements
of a good citizen.
\gum 4.
Certain religious sects whose beliefs do not permit them to salute
the flag should be forced to conform to such a patriotic action,
or else be abolished.
\gum 5.
The Negroes would solve many of their social problems by not being
so irresponsible, lazy, and ignorant.
\gum
	6. Any group or social movement which contains many foreigners
	should be watched with suspicion and, whenever possible,
	be investigated b the FBI.
\gum 7.
There will always be superior and inferior nations in the world an
in the interests of all concerned, it is best that the superior
ones be control of world affairs.
\gum
	8. Negro musicians are sometimes as good as white musicians
	at swing music and jazz, but it is a mistake to have mixed
	Negro-white band
\gum 9.
Although women are necessary now in the armed forces and in industry,
they should be returned to their proper place in the home as soon
as the war ends.
\gum
10. Minor forms of military training, obedience, and discipline,
such as drill, marching and simple commands, should be made a part
of the elementary school educational program.
\gum 11. It would be a mistake to have Negroes for foremen and
	leaders over whites.
\gum 12. The main threat to basic American institutions during
	this century h come from the infiltration of foreign ideas,
	doctrines, and agitators
\gum 13. Present treatment of conscientious objectors, draft-evaders,
	and enemy aliens is too lenient and mollycoddling. If a
	person won't fight for his
country, he deserves a lot worse than just a prison or a work camp.
\gum 14.
Negroes may have a part to play in white civilization, but it is
best to keep them in their own districts and schools and to prevent too
much intermixing with whites.
\gum 15. One main difficulty with allowing the entire population
	to participate
fully in government affairs (voting, jobs, etc.) is that such a
large percentage is innately deficient and incapable.
\gum
16. Manual labor and menial jobs seem to fit the Negro mentality
and ability better than more skilled or responsible work.
\gum
17. It is a mistake to allow any Japanese to leave internment camps
and enter the army where they would be free to commit sabotage.
\gum
18. In view of the present national emergency, it is highly important
to limit responsible government jobs to native, white, Christian
Americans.
\gum 19. In a community of 1,000 whites and 50 Negroes, a drunken
	Negro
shoots and kills an officer who is trying to arrest him. The white
population should immediately drive all the Negroes out of town.
\gum 20. European refugees may be in need, but it would be a big
	mistake to
lower our immigration quotas and allow them to flood the country.
\gum 21. The many faults, and the general inability to get along,
	of the Oklahomans ("Okies"), who have recently flooded
	California, prove that we ought to send them back where
	they came from as soon as conditions permit.
\gum 22. The people who raise all the talk about putting Negroes
	on the same level as whites and giving them the same privileges are mostly
radical agitators trying to stir up conflicts.
\gum
	23. It has become clear that the Germans and Japanese are
	racially war-minded and power-seeking, 
	and the only guarantee of future peace
is to wipe out most of them and to keep the rest under careful
control. 
\gum 24. A large-scale system of sterilization would be one good
way of breeding out criminals and other undesirable elements in our
society and so raise its general standards and living conditions.
\gum 25. An occasional lynching in the South is a good thing
	because there
is a large percentage of Negroes in many communities and they need
a scare once in a while to prevent them from starting riots and
disturbances.
\columnbreak
\gum
26. Mexico can never advance to the standards of living and
civilization of the U.S., due mainly to the innate dirtiness,
laziness, and general backwardness of Mexicans.
\gum
27. Filipinos are all right in their place, but they carry it too
far when they dress lavishly, buy good cars, and go around with
white girls.
\gum
28. It would be best to limit Negroes to grammar and trade school
education since more schooling just gives them ambitions and desires
which they are unable to fulfill in white competition.
\gum
29. Zootsuiters demonstrate that inferior groups, when they are
given too much freedom and money, just misuse their privileges and
create disturbances.
\gum
30. The most vicious, irresponsible, and racketeering unions are,
in most cases, those having largely foreigners for leaders.
\gum 31.
There is something inherently primitive and uncivilized in the
Negro, as shown in his music and his extreme aggressiveness.
\gum 32.
We are spending too much money for the pampering of criminals and
the insane, and for the education of inherently incapable people.
\gum 33.
There will always be wars because, for one thing, there will always
be races who ruthlessly try to grab more than their share.
\gum 34.
Most Negroes would become officious, overbearing, and disagreeable
if not kept in their place.
