France Alarmed By Birth Rate Figures a Neighboring Coun- tries Provide Striking Comparison Paris --The race between the stork and the 'reaper again monopolizes front pagespaceIn the Parisian press, The newsy -published census figures for 1929 reveal that France is in the dilemma of a constantly falling birth- rate a decrease of marriage and an increasing death rate while surround- ed by neighboring countries—Ger- many, Italy, Spalu—alt of Whom re- gistered tremendous increases' of pop- ulation In the past twelve months. France is becoming alarmed at these figures. According to the offi- cial figures of the National Alliance for the Increase of French Population, deaths exceeded births in 1929 by.12; 564, and 1t is estimated that unless something is done to check the ac. centuating tendency of recent years France in' a few years time will be subjected to an annual loss of popu- lation of 2,000,000 or more. The situation thus has become so serious as to make thinking French- men open a cry for a ``birthrate pol- icy" on the part of the government, One reason for this lies in the Franco Italian rivalry. Mussolini has al- ready inaugurated a birthrate policy and the census returns show that it is working—to the extent of hund- reds of thousands additional births per year. The National alliance report reads "In 1929 Italy increased its population by 375,000, Germany grew by 350.000 in habitauts, Spain increas- ed to the extent of 200,000. We are being overwhelmed by our neighbors. France is really faced with a profound- ly serious problem. It is about time that those in power inaugurated a real policy of births with the idea of increasing the size of the average. family by making 1" easier to earn a liv£iu.

"The ultimate result of this law was that eventually the highways were purged of the rickety specimens of gas wagons, a familiar sight on all roads, and which are the cause of a good percentage of the accidents which occur.

Hawkiu in the Contemporary Australian Finance London Times Trade Supplement (Ind.): There seems to be some con- fusion of thought in regard to the financial position in Australia. It was recently stated in the House of Com- mons, in reply to a question by Mr. A. M. Samuel, that in •the last ten years Australia, as a whole, has bor- rowed abroad, mainly in this country, but partly in America, over £60,000,- 000 more than she has paid in interest. The meaning of these figures is that the Commonwealth bas failed to create, sufficient credits in London by its exports to offset its imports, and has therefore been compelled to raise further loans to meet its annual In- debtedness. Falling further loans, the exchange was bound to move against Australia and this has hap- pened. in some. quarters there has been a tendency to blame the banks, but it should be obvious that the bankers are powerless in the absence of sufficient credits. The real re- made, for the present state of affairs is for Australia either to increase her exports or restrict her imports, or do both, but the fall In the price 01 wheat and wool has accentuated the difficulty and the withholding of stocks from sale has increased the trouble. t• his election panacea:–aniinited mil- offhrt.r ,l i ta,lel and complete (London): Who will pay or this the efforts of the delegations to tut lions for endless ioa•ls. £: is time mighty enterprise?
