A Cornell statistician makes the pre-
diction that if the decline of the birth
rate continues as at present unchecked
there will be no births a century and
will be relieved of the problems raised
by the higher cost of living, the ex
haustion of natural and
other economic questions. There will
be no exhortation to go back to the
land" and no concern about the price
of milk-unless indeed immigration
from Mars has begun to set in by that
time.
