others and potential mothers in harmless and reliable methods of Birth
Control in answer to their requests for such knowledge.

STERILIZATION of the insane and feebleminded and the encouragement of
this operation upon those afflicted with inherited or transmissible
diseases, with the understanding that sterilization does not deprive
the individual of his or her sex expression, but merely renders him
incapable of producing children.

EDUCATIONAL: The program of education includes: The enlightenment of the
public at large, mainly through the education of leaders of thought
and opinion--teachers, ministers, editors and writers--to the moral
and scientific soundness of the principles of Birth Control and the
imperative necessity of its adoption as the basis of national and racial
progress.

POLITICAL AND LEGISLATIVE: To enlist the support and cooperation of
legal advisers, statesmen and legislators in effecting the removal of
state and federal statutes which encourage dysgenic breeding,
increase the sum total of disease, misery and poverty and prevent the
establishment of a policy of national health and strength.

ORGANIZATION: To send into the various States of the Union field workers
to enlist the support and arouse the interest of the masses, to
the importance of Birth Control so that laws may be changed and the
establishment of clinics made possible in every State.

INTERNATIONAL: This department aims to cooperate with similar
organizations in other countries to study Birth Control in its relations
to the world population problem, food supplies, national and racial
conflicts, and to urge upon all international bodies organized to
promote world peace, the consideration of these aspects of international
amity.

THE AMERICAN BIRTH CONTROL LEAGUE proposes to publish in its
official organ "The Birth Control Review," reports and studies on the
relationship of controlled and uncontrolled populations to national and
world problems.

The American Birth Control League also proposes to hold an annual
Conference to bring together the workers of the various departments so
that each worker may realize the inter-relationship of all the various
phases of the problem to the end that National education will tend to
encourage and develop the powers of self-direction, self-reliance, and
independence in the individuals of the community instead of dependence
for relief upon public or private charities.
