Predictions that ardent Anglo-Sax-
ons of an imperialistic tern will be
'reluctant to accept are made by W.
R. Inge, in the course of an article in
The Edinburgh Review. In dealing
with "The Future of the English Race"
he delves back into the history of all
races more or less to prove that pop-
-illation has fluctuated according to in-
creased or diminished pressure of
numbers upon subsistence. This
leads him to a number of conclusions
of a radical nature, and he states his
belief that within a certain space of
time England . will have a 'compara-
tively small population, being on the
land. He hints that Asia may be-
come the dominant mart of the earth,
displacing Europe as "the bully of
the planet" Among more immediate
predictions he suggests that the Pop-
ulation of Germany will increase
rather than decrease. This he backs
up by showing that, following each
war in Germany, there has been a
marked increase in the birth-rate. He
writes:
It should now be possible to form
a judgment on the prospects of the
Anglo-Saxon race in various parts of
the world. In India, Burma, New
Guinea, the West Indian Islands, and
tropical Africa there is TIO possibility
of ever planting a healthy European
population. These dependencies may
grow food for us or send us articles
which we can exchange for food, but
they are not, and never can be, col-
onies of Anglo-Saxons. The pro-
spects of -South Africa are very
dubious. The white man is there an
aristocrat, directing semi -servile la-
bor. The white population of the
gold and diamond fbelde will stay
there till the ,mines give out, and no
longer. Large tracts of the country
watt at last be occupied eerily by
Kaffirs. The United States oe Amer-
ica are becoming less AnglittSaxon
every year, and this process is likely
to 'continue, since in unskilled labor
the Italian and the Pole seem to give
better value for their vittges than the
Englishman or born American, with
hie high standard of comfort. in

tralia, New Zealand, and Tasmania

part of the population. We are at
present breeding a large parasitic
class subsisting on the taxes and
hampering the Government. The
comparative fertility of the lowest
class as compared with the better
sto`eks has greatly increased, and is
still increasing. The competent work-
ing-class families, as well as the rich,
are far less fertile than the waste
prodtects of our civilization. Di. .Tred-
gold found that 43 -couples of the
parasitic class averaged 7.4 children
per family, while 91 -respectable
couplee_ from the working-class aver-
aged only 3.7 per family. Mr. Sidney
Webb- exatnined the statistics of ,
the Hearts of Oak Benefit Society,'
which is patronized by the best type
of mechanic, and found that the birth-
rate among its members had fallen 46
per pent. between 1881 and 1901; on
taking the whole period between 1880
and 1904, the falling off is 52 per cent.
This decline proves that the period of
industrial expansion in England is
nearly over. It would be far better
if our birth-rate - were as low as that
of France, as it would be but for the
reckless propagation of the 'submerg-
ed tenth.' England being- now a par-
adise for human refuse, the offscour-
ing of Europe (170,000 in 1908) take -
the place of the better stocks, whose'
position is made artifically unfavor-
able. These doles are attpeesent paidi
by the Minority, and this method may
be expected to continue until the loot-
ing of the propertied classes comes
to an enforced end. This will not take
long, for it is certain that the amount
of wealth available for plunder is
very much smaller than -is usually sup-
posed. It is easy to destroy capital
values, but very difficult to distribute
them. The time will soon arrive when
the patient sheep will be found to have
hist not only his fleece but his skin,
and the privileged ,workman will then
hare to choose between taxing himself
and abandoning Socialism. There is
little doubt which he will prefer. The
result wil1 be that the festering sore
of QUT, slum -population will dry up,
and tlie gradual disappearance of the
wastrel will Soon be some compensa-
tion, from the eugenic point of view,
for the destruction of the intellectual
class: This process wilt considerably,
and beneficially, diminish the popula-
tion; and there are several other fac-
tors which will operate in the same
direction. High wage -industry can
only maintain itself against the com-
petition of cheaper, labor abroad by
introducing every kind of labor-saving
device. - The number of hands employ-
ed in a factory must progressively di-
minish. And as, in spite of all that
ingenuity can do, the competition of
the cheaper races is certain to cripple
our foreign trade, the trade unions will
be obliged to provide for a shrinkage
in their numbers.
We are witnessing the decline and
fall of the social order which began
with the industrial revolution 150
years ago. The cancer of • industria-
lism has begun to mortify, and the
end is in sight. Within 200 years, it
may be—for we must allow for back-
washes and cross -currents which will
retard the flow of the stream—the

CHILDREN'S AID SOCIETY
The annual meeting of the Children's
Aid Society for the County of Huron
will be held in the Children's Shelter,
•Goderich, on Tuesday., Novenaber 25th,
at three o'clock p. m. At this meet-
ing in, addition to routine business,
the election of officers svill take.place;
to be followed at four o'clock by the
reading and consideration .of reports,
and addresses on the work of the
Society. It is hoped a prominent
speaker from outside will be present,
and a cordial invitation is extended
to everyone in the County who, feels
an interest in child welfare, to attend
this meeting. The work is growing,
and the officers desire the interest
and co-operation of the public in all
parts of the County.

pugnacity) are the -only passions
which the practical politician needs to
consider, usually defeat their own ends.
The working man is :sawirig at the
branch on which he is seated. He may
benefit for a titne a minority of his
own class, but only by sealing the
doom of the rest, . A densely popu-
lated country, which is unable to feed
itself, can never be a working man's
paradise.
For, much as we must regret the
apparently inevitable ruin of the upper
and upper middle classes, to which.
1 England in the past has owed the
• majorpart of her greatnees, we can-
not regard the trend of events as an
unmixed misfortune. The industrial
revolution has no doubt had ,some ben-
eficial. results. It has founde,d the
British Empire, the most interesting
and. perhaps the most successful ex-
periment in governnient on a large
stile that the world has yet seen. It
has foiled two formidable attempts to
place Europe under the heel of mili-
tary monarchies. It has brought order
and material civilization to many parts
of the world whieh before were bar-
barous. But these achievements have
been counterbalanced ley many evils,
and in many cases they have done
their work. The aggregation of man-
kind in large towns is itsellf a mis-
fortune; the life of great' cities is
wholesome neither for body nor for
mind. The separation of classes has
become more complete; the country
may even be divided into the pictur-
esque counties where money is spent,
and the ugly ceunties where it is made.
Except London and the seaports, the
Whole of the South of England is more
or less parasitic. We must add that
in: -the early days of the movement the -
workman and his childre,n were ex-
ploited ruthlessly. It is true that if
they had not been exploited they would
not have existed; but a root of bitter-
ness Was planted which, according to
what seems to be the law in such
casescases sprang up and bore its ° poison-
ous
,
about two generations' later.
It -is a sinister fact that the -worst
trouble is now made by the youngest
men. The large fortunes which were
made by the manufacturers were not,
on the whole, well spent. Their lux -
mu,' was net of !a -refined type; liter-
ature and art were not 'intelligently
encouraged; n4evenscience was most
;inadequately supported. The great
achievement of the nineteenth cen-
tury in science and ,letters, and Whir-
dese- degree in art, were independent
of the industrial world, and were chief-

sinking helplessly under the blows
of predatory taxation. Capitalism

_On the other important point of his
argument, the possibility of the domin-
ance of Asia, he writes:
It is an important question whether
a crowded population adds to the se-
curity of a nation or not. Numbers
are undoubtedly of great importance
in modern warfare. ,The French
would have been less able to -resist
the Germans without Allies iir 1914
than they were in 1870. But we must
not suppose that France could support
a much largerpopulation without re-
ducing her standard of living to the
point of under -feeding; and an under-
fed nation is incapable of the endur-
-a.nce required of first-class.. soldiers.
A nation may be so much weakened
in physique by under -feeding as to
be impotent from a military point of
view, in spite of great numbers; this
is the case in India and China. De-
ficient nourishment also diminishes the
day's work. If European and Ameri-
can capital goes to China; and pro-
vides proper food for the workmen,
we may have an early opportunity of •
discovering whether the supporters of
the League of Nations have any real
conscientious objection to violence and
bloodshed. We may surmise that the
European man, the fiercest of all
beasts of prey, is net likely to aban-
don the weapons which have made
him the lord and the bully of the
planet. He has no other superiority
to the races which he arrogantly de-
spises. Under a regime of peace the
Asiatic would probably be his master.
