WAR AND THE CHILDREN,

-
Strikingly contradictory opinions were ex-
pressed at recent meeting of the Royal SAM
tary Institute in London concerning whether
the threatened decrease of babies, as a result of
the war, should be regarded as calamity or a
blessing, says Associated Press correspond
ence
The subject discussed was labelled, "The
National and Social Aspects of the Lowered
Birth Rate" Some of the speakers demanded
that the government should take the matter in
hand and do everything possible to encourage
and popularize maternity. Others-though it
should be stated they were in minority
that the fewer babies born, for some time to
come at least, the better it would be for the
country. Two speakers may be cited as repre-
sentative of these divergent views
Sir John Cockburn urged the need of greater
inducements to raise the birth rate. Maternity,
he said, now involved too heavy tax on the
poorer classes He would have the government
provide bonuses on a liberal scale for matern-
ity and make a substantial reduction in the in
come tax for each child born. We>need," he
declared ito revive tIe medieval view which
regarded sterility>as a@ursey =. - = :, -
Dr. Dunlop boldly took the Malthusian view.
He looked forward, he'tleclared with cheerful
ness, to a further reduction of the birthratet
The encouragement of parental prudence
among the poor was urgently needed at the
present moment. He foretold a serious rise in
the death rate and great poverty in the next
year or two, and if the thoughtful scientific peo-
pie were so blind that they did not speak-opt, it
would be far bettersfdr many children that they
had never been borns The only hope of avoid
ing great hardshinif the first few years after
the war was by Very a sharp fall I'M the birth
rate now.

This question, too, was answered.
War has never brought prosperity"
Partow had written. Its purpose is
TO destroy, and destruction can never
be construction. The conclusion OF
war has often assured a period of
peace; and peace gave the impetus OF
