FRANCE HAS MORE TROUBLE Birthrate Decrease Has Be come Alarming—Germany V Birthrate On the Increase Since the War. Paris, July 27.—The peril of a greater, stronger Germany over whelming a steadily weaker France by sheer force of num bers, looms increasingly laige in the pessimism of French sociolog ists studying the shrinking birth rate of their countrv. The increase of IfiO.OOO in population for l!i*2i, small as it was, aroused the hope nf the government and the public, for it was generally believed that the , rush of war-tired soldiers and women, anxious to marry and establish homes, was the turning point. They have been disap pointed. The net excess of births over deaths the following year was only 9,000 and the results of last year, still being tabulated, are rather dreaded by sociologists ! and economists. President Millerand not long jago spoke of the birth rate ques tion as "that of life itself for France.'' His efforts, he saiJ, were devoted to furthering the ' creation of homes and the rearing of children. , France's plight in a world of 1 war is likened to that of the little boy who grows slowly while all his companions develop like weeds. In the sixteenth century France had half the population lof Kurope; at the end of the 'eighteenth she had only one ; fourth, today she has little more than one-tenth. Since deaths have exceed ed births, and only immigration has saved the race from rapid extinction by a loss that frequent ly was a quarter of a million a I year. i Whatever the reasons for the | halt century of decreasing i»irth rate, the present shortage of living quarters, the vicissitudes of life, and the lowered moral standards are blamed today by students for the condition that persists in spite of a really na tional campaign for more child ren. : WMGLEYS i Take i! home to Ihc kids.
