Notes From Elsewhere

For example, Mrs C. Hodson, a former Secretary of the Society, used her position as Honorary
Secretary of the 'International Federation of Eugenics Organizations' to publicise her own admiration of
the German regime and to pass on the apologias being put about by German scientists, like Professor
Ruedin, who were implementing Hitler's sterilization programme (ER, 28 (1936-37), 217-219). In
contrast to Blacker, Mrs Hodson had also given the German compulsory sterilization law a friendly
reception when it first appeared (C. B. S. Hodson, Human sterilization to-day (1934, London), 34-38}.
