International Congress of Eugenics held at American Museum of Natural
History New York, August 21-23, 1932." (Baltimore: Williams & Wilkins
Company, September, 1934).
The term "eugenics" is taken from the Greek to signify "good birth" or
"well-born," as in aristocrat. Its basic assumption is that those who are
not "well-born" should not exist.

to W. A. Harriman, London, February 21, 1925, in W.A. Harriman papers.
11. Averell Harriman to Dr. Charles B. Davenport, President, The
International Congress of Eugenics, Cold Spring Harbor, L.I., N.Y.:
January 21, 1932
Dear Dr. Davenport:
I will be only too glad to put you in touch with the Hamburg-American Line
.. they may be able to co-operate in making suggestions which will keep the
expenses to a minimum. I have referred your letter to Mr. Emil Lederer [of
the Hamburg-Amerika executive board in New York] with the request that he
communicate with you.
Davenport to Mr. W.A. Harriman, 59 Wall Street, New York, N.Y.
January 23, 1932
Dear Mr. Harriman:
Thank you very much for your kind letter of January 21st and the action you
took which has resulted at once in a letter from Mr. Emil Lederer. This
letter will serve as a starting point for correspondence, which I hope will
enable more of our German colleagues to come to America on the occasion of
the congresses of eugenics and genetics, than otherwise.
Congressional hearings in 1934 established that Hamburg-Amerika routinely
provided free transatlantic passage for those carrying out Nazi propaganda
chores. See "Investigation of Nazi Propaganda Activities and Investigation
of Certain Other Propaganda Activities," "op. cit.," chapter 2.

arrangement with Harper & Brothers, 1935), pp. 318-19.
The battle cry of the New Order was sounded in 1935 with the publication of
"Man the Unknown," by Dr. Alexis Carrel of the Rockefeller Institute in New
York. This Nobel Prize-winner said "enormous sums are now required to
maintain prisons and insane asylums.... Why do we preserve these useless
and harmful beings? This fact must be squarely faced. Why should society
not dispose of the criminals and the insane in a more economical manner?
... The community must be protected against troublesome and dangerous
elements.... Perhaps prisons should be abolished.... The conditioning of
the petty criminal with the whip, or some more scientific procedure,
followed by a short stay in hospital, would probably suffice to insure
order. [Criminals, including those] who have ... misled the public on
important matters, should be humanely and economically disposed of in small
euthanasic institutions supplied with proper gases. A similar treatment
could be advantageously applied to the insane, guilty of criminal acts."
Carrel claimed to have transplanted the head of a dog to another dog and
kept it alive for quite some time.
