AES of several thousand dollars to support the society prior to 1932. In August 1935, Draper traveled to Berlin to attend the International Congress for the Scientific Investigation of Population Problems. Presiding over the conference was Wilhelm Frick, the German Minister of the Interior. At the conference, Draper's travel companion, Dr. Clarence Campbell delivered an oration that concluded with, "The difference between the Jew and the Aryan is as unsurmountable [sic] as that between black and white… Germany has set a pattern which other nations must follow… To that great leader, Adolf Hitler!" Three years later, when Draper paid to print and disseminate the book White America by Earnest Sevier Cox, an advocate of white supremacy and racial segregation, a personal copy was delivered to Frick. In 1937, Draper established the Pioneer Fund, a foundation intended to give scholarships to descendants of White American colonial-era families, and to support research into "race betterment" through eugenics. The scholarships were never given, but the first project of the fund was to distribute two documentary films from Nazi Germany depicting their claimed success with eugenics. The Pioneer Fund was headed by the sociologist and eugenicist Harry H. Laughlin, an advocate for restrictive immigration laws and national programs of compulsory sterilization of the mentally ill and intellectually disabled. At age 50, Draper again volunteered for military service, and was assigned a post with British military intelligence in India during World War II. After the war, he returned to eugenicist and segregationist activism, and The Pioneer Fund supported the work of a number of noted and controversial researchers of race and intelligence, such as the Nobel Laureate William Shockley, American differential psychologist Arthur Jensen, Canadian evolutionary psychologist J. Philippe Rushton, and British anthropologist Roger Pearson. Though he never served as the Pioneer Fund's president, Draper remained on its board until his death, leaving his estate to the Fund. He also donated considerable funds to right-wing political organizations and candidates, including the World Anti-Communist League (WACL), which was later headed by Pearson who had received extensive funding from The Pioneer Fund and Draper during his career at Southern Mississippi University. In addition to The Pioneer Fund, Draper financed the Back to Africa repatriation movement, particularly the work of Earnest Sevier Cox whose book "White America" he also funded. During the civil rights movement of the 1960s he secretly sent $255,000 to the Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission
