FRENCH BABIES.
DYING TOO
FAST
Margaret Sanger Says That Is
Reason Nation Fears Ger
man Power.
BY WALTER vOGDES.
COsmopOIltAn News Service staff
HNns.nnarn..SsA.k

NEW YORK, Jan. s.-France's
fear Of Germany one OF the con-
tributing causes Of Frances threat
today to occupy the Ruhr- has its
real basis in the recent rapid de-
cline OF the survival rate Of newly
born French babies, Margaret SAM
ger, authority on birth control, de-
clared today.
THE Decline, said Mrs. Sanger,
which threatens to annihilate
France, is caused by the spread Of
social diseases in that country both
during and since the world war.
while France fails to introduce
hygienic measures to guard unborn
babies, Germany has attacked the
problem scientifically. I discovered
this on my recent world tour. The
result is France is III a state Of
constant fear concerning her sta
tionary population, ID crying for
more babies and large armies.
Only Two Survive.
"Out Of 157 French babies born
of mothers suffering from social
diseases. only two survive. In the
United States, owing to hygienic
measure, about 100 out or the 157
babies would have chance Of life
and health. But France Ignores the
appalling conditions, and there is no
sign of an awakening there.
Trance has done much In pro-
viding care for babies after birth.
But the government has not gone to
the source OF the trouble and pro-
vided for prenatal care. Behind
the French cries against Germany
may be seen this problem, never
mentioned, however, by French
statesmen =
Mrs. Sanger asserted that an Eng.
1ish commission OF medical experts
went to France recently to learn the
true reason for the rapid decline in
the French survival rate. They
found It impossible to obtain figures
from French authorities, but in
truth back of the deaths Of 165 out
Of 167 Of certain types OF sickly
babies.
eve are accustomed to thinking
of the French as intelligent and
scientific" said Mrs. Sanger. This
Is not true Of their handling Of
hygfenic problems.
Happened In Germany.
BEFORE the war EnSy mao partly
controlled their social problem
through segregation. When the war
came all bars were lowered, women
Of the streets were allowed to go
to all parts Of the country at will.
Hundreds Of them followed the
armies.
\ The same thing. happened in
Germany, but hygienic precautions
were taken. No precautions were
taken in France. Scientists of my
acquaintance, who went over to
help France, found their efforts to
improve hygienic conditions frus-
trated. One scientist. who could
have made valuable contributions
was put to work moving lawns. I
saw him doing it.
Now comes the cruel after-ef-
feet, the swapping out Of the lives
Of the sickly babies Of France,
babies who should have been born
well. Many people think the few
children surviving in France repre-
sent a voluntary reduction In the
birth rate there. It Id not true,
the birth rate is not 50 low, 1t is

Commission Gives Assurance
That Steady Supply Will
Be Maintained.

The practical assurance given the
fact-finding coal commission by BIZ

Gals Of the United Mine Workers
that there would be no cessation
of coal mining this year, is expected
to have a marked effect upon bust

Automobile Orders
Are Exceeding
Supply

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-Orders
for automobiles have far ex-
ceeded manufacturing possibili-
ties, said Frank B. Young, a
prominent dealer in Central
Ohio, here today attending the
automobile show. An tnpre-
cedented demand for automobiles
in 1928 was predicted by Young.
The farmers are large buyers
of automobiles, he said, regard
ing it as q means of transpor-
tation rather. than a luxury.
They are buying autos like a
pillow or seeds, no farm being
considered complete in his dis
trict unless It has a touring
car, a tractor or q truck.

.Clemenceau, before his retire.

his successor as premier, took up
the cry and offered bonuses to

help those mothers have babies
who would be strong enough to
