Each individual nation will retain autonomy except in cer' fain specific realm, such as mili' tary power, where authority will centered in the union government. Further, the world's white nations, and particularly the United States ami Britain who as leadare therefore the bulwarks of ^Wiite supremacy, will be compelled to concede full equality and full representation in the coalition to the overwhelmingly more numer oua non-white peoples of the earth population. Either this, or the entiro white race faces literal extermination "within the next 25 to 50 years'' by dark races now fast learning the white man's formula ?for- domination. This grim warning was sounded by Dr. Edwin R. Embrec, presi??dent of the Julius Rosenwald Fund In a speech- delivered "at Dillard university Wed. Jan. 20. On the same program appeared Dr. Will Alexander, one of the co-founders with Dr. Bmhree of Dillard and the institution's first head, having ~ the Appointment of Dr. Stuart Nelson in 193<3. Dr. Embrec illustrated his talk with a map of the eastern hemisphere, -and pictured graphically how and where and why civilizations had risen and fallen during The?rise of each civilization, said Dr. Embrec, hud been generated by similar factor combina tiujas:...iJjich, vitalizing- blood admixtures, (2)* exposure to ideas from external sources, (3) favorable physical surroundings, and V-r- (*i), a vital new invention, .Aftoi / each rise of a special civilization v there was a leveling off as othei l^plcs learned to use the vital new invention with equul skill and more aggressive effectiveness.

"There is no support, citnet anthropologically, historically 01 biologically, for the belief that a white skin denotes innate superiority," cmphasrzed Dr. Embree.
