Revolutionary Impulses To Be Felt In Europe! Washington. Some informed dip lomats are coining to the belief thai revolutionary impulses are now boil ins "P 'n Europe are almost certain to touch and change every country ! on the* continent. Moreover, there is becoming ap parent among these officials a con v idtion that American policy must be to allow these revolutionary for ces to run their natural courses and to bring about whatever changes may be more or less inevitable any way, without outside interference. This policy el non-interference is applied equally to British policy as it has recently been manifested in Italy and Grcece and to Commun ism insofar as it may operate as an arm of Russian foreign policy. Briefly, it may be said that Wash ington hopes that America's great European allies will refrafh from seeking to control the affairs of the smaller countries of Europe, will al low new forces to come into play and then through the medium of the United Nations will seek to so org anize world peace that those forces may contribute to securing it. The pattern of change is already apparent in Greece, Italy and Bel gium. It is present but less appar ent in France because General Chas. tie Gaule has been extremely sensi tive to the demands and aspirations of tomer resistance leaders and oth ers. These men who lived throug the ! period of German occupation came j out with a determination that the i Europe of the future shall be differ- i ent in many respects from the Eu- j rope of the past. Officials here say that neither the United States; the British, the Rus sians nor the aggressive but very small minorities within any of the liberated countries should be per mitted to interfere with their de velopment. While these processes are going on in the countries which have known wnr during the last five years, there is considerable speculation here ov er what may happen in the neutral countries. Spain, Portugal, Switzer land and Sweden. The theory is that they may have to undergo some changes themselves at least in top governmental person nel, during coming months, in order to adjust, to the new Europe in which they will find themselves. Such changes may be least in Sweden but may reach the proportion ot a rev olution in Spain.

Population Is About 138,100,874 Total population of the United States, including of course those ser ving in the armed forces overseas, is 138,100,374, as of July 1. the census bureau estimates. In the four years and three months since the 1910 census, the population increased by more than 6,400,000, al most three-fourths as much as the number added in the full decade be tween 193Q and 1940. The bureau said the more rapid rise since 1940 was due to two fac tors: An increase in the excess of births over deaths. Greater excess of immigration ov er emigration. The number of births had begun to decline by the end of 1943 but ev en in the middle of 1944 it was still well above the pre-war level. The bureau said: "It seems inevitable that the birth rate will continue to decline sud that the number of deaths will in crease as the war proceeds, with the resuit that the natural increase will shrink, considerably."
