is FRANCE DECLINING.

For the student of social science there
is, perhaps. no more interesting study TO
be found than that of the population fig
ures of France.
The United Kingdom. Germany, Aus
tria, the United States, and Russia, all
showed a steady gain of population dur
Ing the past fifty years. France alone Of
all the great nations has remained Frac-
ticaIly stationary. The population of he
country is only about 3 per cent larger
than 1t was in the middle of the last cen
tury.
Those who hastily jump to the conclu-
sion that France is retrograding because
she does not produce the surplus horleS
of Italy and Austria, reckon too lightly.
France has the promise and potency of
being a great staying nation, and of out
ton Globe.

1t $ much TO be regretted that Governor
