Let me observe. then. in connection with that statement. that if there is one wellestablished fact in history it is that color prejudice is fixed. and no creed. no form of government. will bind races radically different into a harmonious. homogenous whole. Some irrevocable law of the mind has fixed the prejudices of race and color as insurmountable barriers. Let me quote from Campbells "Twentieth Century in Siam." " Nature has set up physical barriers that are not for man to break down. and Asia will always be Asiatic." I do not agree with my friend from Texas that these prejudices are "because of color." as he asserts. Color can not account for failure in natural development and incapacity in some instances for selfgovernment. Climatic conditions. environment. and inherited incapacity for a thousand generations distinguishes them in "creations divine event." The brown man. the yellow man. and the black man. on the one hand. and the white man. on the other. have been separated always from each other by lines they never passed. and that independent of themselves.
