THE REAL CAUSE
OF WAR: IS 1T
OVER-POPULATION?

What, is the real basic cause of
war? Is it Original sim which
sends men cIutching like wild beasts
at each others throats? Is it some
Unborn and ineradicable thirst for
Hood, some hereditary faint Of wolf
ish cruelty which veneer of civil
ization can ever wholly extirpate?
The theologian may answer these
questions in the Affirmative, but the
scientist and the political economist
will not agree with him. The pres
ent conflict in Europe has set men
ject of the fundamental cause of such
reigns of terror as that now prevail
ing in the Old World.
The widespread cogitation on this
problem has resulted in a great re-
viyal of interest in the Ma1thusian
doctTine--that the increase in popu-
fation as greater than the increase in
the means of subsistence. AS a neces-
cary correlative of this theory, 1T is
urged that war is caused by over
population, and that only by what has
come to be called race suicide can
any nation be saved from the horrors
of war. There is the discomforting
fact, however, that the country with
g. low birth rate, however civilized and
progressive it may be- is likely to be
overWh e1med by the hordes of the ma
ton where preventive checks on the
population have not been popular. The
Malthusianist replies to this argument
with the statement that the restric-
ton of population results in a. great
Improvement in the human breed,
bob physically and mentally, and thus
enables the nation which practices the
doctrine to hold its own against the
more. numerous but less advanced
foe.
The case of Mrs. Margaret Sanger,
charged with disseminating literature
advocating birth control. which re-
Gently aroused great attention in New
York, has shown how widespread is
the belief in these doctrines. Some
of the greatest physicians in America,
scores of prominent women, and many
men of prominence in various lines of
endeaVor. boldly Schampioned Mrs.
was appealed to in her behalf by some
of the best known English writers,
among them Arnold Bennett, H. G.
Wells, Prof. Gilbert Murray, Edward
Carpenter and William Archer.
Malthusiasism. although originated
by a clergyman, " as roundly de-
nounced in its inception on religious
sianisrn is considered even more alb
horrent by most of the religious lead
ers of today. The constantly de-
creasing birth rate in all countries
clearly proves, however, that such de-
nunciation is of little avail.
Nautilus did not marry until he
was forty-five years old, and had but
two children. boy and a girl. He
was man of most aniab1e and low
able character, true friend of hui
mainly, and. according to his bio
grapher, his life was "a perpetual flow
of enlightened benevolence, content
ment, and peace The approaching
150th anniversary of his birth will
DOUBTLESS bring forth many eu1ogists,
but it is doubtful if the scholarly
clergyman, if alive today, would give
his sanction to the doctrines of birth
control and population restriction now
being taught in his name.
