Admitting that he is the author of an article which appeared Tuesday in the Nazi press in Germany advocating the sterilization of Jews, Prof. C. G. Campbell of New York told a representative of the Jewish Daily Bulletin yesterday that he is not an anti-Semite, though he is distinctly sympathetic to the Nazi regime and its racial theories.
Prof. Campbell, who resides at the University Club, Fifth Avenue and 54th Street, is the president of the Society for Eugenic Research, which he says is twenty years in existence. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan but has never been connected with any academic institution in the United States.
“My article has never been published in America,” the professor said. “It must have gotten into the Nazi newspapers through a few copies which I sent to prominent Nazi anthropologists.
Prof. Campbell admitted that he visited Germany last Summer and that he had a personal talk with Julius Streicher, the notorious Jew-baiter of Germany.
“From a purely scientific point of view, racial mixture should be discouraged. Where divergent races marry, the parties to the marriage should be sterilized,” the pro-Nazi eugenist explained. “The difference between the Jew and the ‘Aryan’ is as insurmountable as between black and white,” he continued.
