The Effec, Of War.

OF course warfare diminishes the
population by the sum of the killed.
and to that extent decreases the de-
mand for food. Nevertheless, the sup
ply of food diminishes rapidly. That
is brought about, says the Malthous-
Ian. through the killing OF a relative
iy large proportion of the producers.
the putting OF efficient laborers at un-
productive work. the destroying OF the
machinery of production, and the
checking of agriculture Thus war
Immediately increases the pressure of
population on the means of subsist-
ence. and the pressure cannot be en-
tirely removed until the normal num-
Der OF laborers Is again reached In
other words, war. like emigration,
leaves in the country an excess OF
women and children and other non
producers. and so, although reducing
the actual number of the people, has
all the Ill effect of overpopulation.
