Bermuda

In Bermuda the population consists of 18,000 Negroes and 12,000 whites, but suffrage is dependent on sex and property held. Because of this the voters of Bermuda number 1,387 whites, 963 Negroes (all males). Thus the white majority in any election is safe, but the basis on which this is accomplished may not last forever. The House of Assembly of Bermuda last week put through a budget providing ample funds for the Government to propagandize Bermuda in favor of birth control, supply the necessary apparatus cheap to poor Negroes; further, to launch a determined fight on venereal disease by setting up free clinics. Only 20 of the 360 Bermuda Islands are inhabited. On a total area of 12,360 acres of which only 1,400 are under cultivation, live whites and blacks in a density of 1,520 persons per square mile, ideal objects for the application of birth control.
