Stoddard-Hindus Debate

QUESTION
Resolved: That the present immigration law discriminating in favor of the North European immigration as against South and East European immigration is for the best interests of the United States.

These two keen thinkers and experienced platform speakers have stirred many audiences in their joint discussions of this live and important topic, a topic that will continue to be before the American public year after year for many years.  Our present immigration law favors the earlier immigration to this country, that is the immigration that came before 1890, and the opponents of the law claim that there is an unfair discrimination against the later immigration, that came to this country since 1890.  As to whether this policy of restricted immigration is for the best interests of the United States is the point at issue between these two brilliant investigators and thinkers.  Dr. Stoddard supports the affirmative side of the question, Mr. Hindus the negative.



Dr. Lothrop Stoddard

A leading Authority on World Affairs
International Analyst and Political Adviser
Author of The Rising Tide of Color And Many Other Books
Contributor to Leading Magazines

Dr. Lothrop Stoddard's international prominence was first established by his extraordinary book The Rising Tide of Color.  This book had been preceded and was followed by a series of other books of profound import, establishing securely his position as one of the world's authorities on the great problems of politics, race and immigration.

For years, readers of such standard periodicals as the Saturday Evening Post, The Atlantic Monthly, Century, World's Work, Review of Reviews, Scribner's and other magazines have been familiar with his articles.

In addition to The Rising Tide of Color, such books as The New World of Islam, ReForging America, Racial Realities in Europe, and others, very securely established his reputation as perhaps the world's leading authority in his distinctive field.

Of late years profound importance has been editorially attached to his utterances on the relations between world politics and finance.  Leading business and financial groups have been especially interested in his discussion of Europe, America and Our Money.

Dr. Stoddard has traveled widely and is intimately acquainted with the majority of the world's greatest personalities who are influencing the affairs of the day.

Especial interest has been attached to debates Dr. Stoddard has engaged in, such as with Clarence Darrow, Maurice Hindus, and Yutaka Minakuchi on various aspects of the immigration question; with Dr. W. E. B. DuBois on the negro problem, et cetera.



Maurice Hindus

An Outstanding Authority on Russia and the Orient
Has visited Russia Six Times Since The Bolshevik Revolution
Has Traveled Widely in Siberia, Manchuria, China, Japan, The Caucasus

Said the New York Evening Post of Maurice Hindus: He is the most keenly observant commentator of post-revolutionary Russia of our time.  He is the only English-speaking journalist with a knowledge of the Russian language who has year after year been wandering up and down the vast Russian domains, living, working, feasting with the common people so as to learn from them first hand how they were reacting to the stormy world about them.

He was born in a Russian village, came to this country at the age of 14 and worked his way through Colgate and Harvard.

He is the author of Broken Earth, and The Russian Peasant and the Revolution, regarded as classics the world over.  His new book Humanity Uprooted, puts him at the very forefront of interpreters of Russia and of the social upheavals of our time.

His articles have appeared in leading American Magazines—Century, Yale Review, Outlook, Current History, Asia.

He is a fine speaker with rich diction, a fine flow of wit, a keen sense of the dramatic and above all fair-minded.

President Glenn Frank of Wisconsin University paid Hindus the following tribute: I can say of him what Chesterton said of Wells, 'You can almost hear his mind growing'.
