RACE SUICIDE IN FRANCE.

When the Roosevelt race suicide
alarm first was sounded. Tom Watson
pooh poohed it as all unworthy Of the
not calling for such attention The
great populist leader managed TO say
something on the subject almost as
picturesque as anything Teddy him
self could say. Leave 1t to the
women" said Watson. and there will
always be plenty of babies"
France is the horrible example"
when il comes to race suicide. That
country, however. recently enjoyed the
advantage of lecture by Roosevelt
and now there are signs that 1t may
repudiate the Watson theory. series
of measures designed TO increase the
birth rate was introduced in the
French parliament the other day. The
bills include the imposition of addi-
tional military service on bachelors
over 90 years of age; making obliga-
tory the marriage of state employees
who have reached the age of 25 years,
with supplementary salaries and pen
sions; allowances for those with more
than three children. and the repeal of
the law requiring the equal distribu
t:on of estates among the children. The
dislike of Frenchmen to divide their
property is frequent cause of re-
stricted families, according to those
who have made a study of the sub
ject
The proposed legislation, it is stated,
with possibly the thought of disclairn-
ing response to Roosevelt, follows the
recent publication of vital statistics,
which showed that the births in the re-
public in 1909 were 10000, against
1872, 600 in the preceding year. and that
the population has been increased by
only 100000 since 1851.
There has been a good deal of sport
made Of Roosevelt's remarks on this
subject The sport is justified only If
and where the birth rate is not serious
~ on the decline. A declining birth
rate means a decline Of national
strength.
