FRENCH POPULATION
IS ON THE OW|NOLE
FALLING OFF I NTHE BIRTH RATE
A PROBLEM ALARMING TO
THE GOVERNMENT.

PARIS, June /, France is con-
fronted With the most serious problem
that ever threatened nation. In
France. alone among the nations OF
the world. the population is decreas'
ing.
For many years theb irth-rate stead
lily decreased. but until 1906 there was
slow increase in the population, rep
resenting about $4,000 year.
Now there is an actual decrease IN
the population.
Last week there were 10000 more
deaths than births in France. Out of
population OF 100000 only 150,-
900 children were born. or $4,000 less
than in 1906. The number of births
vas lower than il had been for aver
a century.
This decline has been gathering mo-
mentum for forty years. Since 1910
the fall has been extraordinary, and
the number or births has decreased at
an average rate OF $4,000 each year.
Thus France is steadily moving to-
ward extinction as a world power.
While Germany, Austria and Russia
are increasing their populations by
leaps and bounds. France must fail
rapidly behind them. Each year few
er young men are found TO NIL the
ranks OF the army. and the deficiency,
1t is estimated, will soon amount to
SO, 900 or so, 900 a very serious differ
ence when France Is struggling to
keep level with Germany.
The French government realizes the
extremity OF the situation and Is try
ing TO find way to arrest the decline.
The main cause of the decline is In
directly due to the government itself.
Since the great war of 1870 the people
have-had TO bear largely increased
taxes to carry out various weil-meant
schemes OF Improvement. The essen
TALLY frugal. saving nature OF the
French masses, finding taxation In
creasing, instigated conspiracy to
limit the extent OF families, SO as TO
cut down expenditure.
A committee appointed by the gov
eminent to investigate thep robiem
OF depopulation discovered that mar
ried people deliberately restricted
their ospring, and abandoned its work
because IL realized that nothing could
be done.
Among the projects put forward to
encourage births Is a proposal TO re-
lieve the father of four or more chill
dren from direct taation. He would
only contribute to the revenue through
the indirect taxation on salt, etc. and
would moth ave TO pay the taxes on
doors, windows and furniture, with
which he is now burdened.
1t Is also proposed to give the state
aid to societies devoted to the pro-
lection OF children in their early life.
Every year Atty or sixty thousand
babies die through hereditary weak
ness or from the folly and ignorance
OF their parents. These lives might
be saved by a more thorough system
of care Of the little ones.
