DELUGE OF BABIES PERIIS THE COMFORTS
OF THE WORLD IF HE PRESENT RATEE Is
CONTINUE D, DECLARES PROFESSOR ROSS

"A deluge of babies threatens to
sweep away the comfort of all class
ec."
This is the declaration of Prof E,
A. Ross of the University of Wiscon-
sin, one of the nations leading So
biologists. DR.. Ross agrees with the
statement of Edward NJ East taken
from his book Mankind at the Cross
Road" just issued in which he says
by the year 1000, or IS years from
now, I'VE in America shall be COM
PEELED to face conditions similar to
those in China and India, and-un-
less in the meantime our own intelli-
gence is sufficient to guard us
against such calamity and
vice, as heretofore has ever been the
case will harshly curb reproduction. .
"The most precious contemporary
achievement of civilized mankind
the diffusion throughout all classes
in society-is in danger of beins
swept away by new deluge," declar-
es Prof. Ross of Wisconsin, this
time not of water but Of babies. For
at present mankind is increasing in
number as in no previous period for
which we have record.
Growth of Race Rapid
Prof. Ross explained that in the
five year period from 1906 to 1911 the
growth of human numbers has been
calculated to be / 10 per cent pc"
year, which must be many times
greater than anything Of the kind
which has occurred hitherto in the
history of our race.
HAD this rate of expansion pre-
vailed steadily through previous cen
turtles, all the human beings on the
globe could have been produced from
a single pair in seventeen hundred
and ninty-on one years." he said "The
human family has doubled in ninty-
two years; but at its present rate o.
expansion it will have doubled again
within 60 years. that is by 1888.
"In 100 years the same rate would
have expanded the population of the
world to Is times the present pop
ulation; and this is all the human be
ings which, according to the calcula-
Baraboo weekly news. [volume] (Baraboo, Wis.) 1912-197?, 1924-05-29

tions of food and agricultural experts
can possiblv be fed if every available
acre in the globe were titled and pro-
>lucing as much as it is capable Of
contributing. In 200 years there would
be ten times the present population
of the globe. and tnen even if man
kind were fed by fall of heaven
mama they would be so crowded and
poisoning one another SO terribly that
life would be hardly worth living.
Says Expansion Cannot Continue
Prof. Ross emphasized the fact that
the contemporary expansion Of hui
manity, which he says, is due in
part to the amazing success of medi-
cal science and public hygiene in
fighting off disease a. u part to the
rapid agricultural exploitation of new
and fertile lands in the temperate
zone" cannot continue much longer.
There are no more Mississippi val
leys, Australias, Canadas, and Argen
tinas to bring under the plow," he
said, so if mankind insists on con
tinuing the present rate of propagd-
ton, life, within the experience of in
dividuals now living will become so
-nourished, harrassed and difficult
that the death rate will quickly rise
in spite of the best that doctors and
health officers can do
When asked what change he
thought the future would bring. Pro
fessor Ross said he thought the enc
of rapid expansion was in sight.
within a life time we shall arrive
at nearly statinary state of popu-
lation. Shall the equilibrium between
births and deaths be struck by ad
justing the birth rate to the death
rate of ten per thousand per annum
which we may look for before very
long; or shall it be struck by per
hitting the growth of crowding, ov
erwork, underfeeding raise the NOR
lily to "a per thousand per annum,
which is the present birth rate? The
answer to this depends on whether
we Shall strike the stationary state
about the time we have a population
of 150,000,000 or about the time forth
years later when we have 200,000,000.'

COMMUNISM MAY SOON DEVELOP INTO RELIGIOUS
 DOCTRINE, IS THE CLAIM

MOSCOW, Feb. 7-Rituals and ce- remonies for christenings, marriages and funerals are gradually creeping into the life of the Russian cOmmun- ists, and some students of Russian af- fairs see in this tendency a drifting of Communism into what they say it in evitably must become a religion.
 There is no pure Communism prac ticed in the daily life of Russia today, not even among the members of the Communist party. It rests on a the ory as an ideal toward which cer tain enthusiasts are striving, just as religions of the past have remained theories and only exceptionally have been practiced.
 Tt is not far cry," said one Ob- server recently from Communist ceremonies of christenings and mar riages to regular Labor Temples with | five pointed stars above them. instead of churches bedecked with crosses"
 Leon Trotzkv, the Soviet war oommisar, wrote some months a@o that Communism must provide some thing to take the place of church ceremonies. These had a hold on the people, and were enjoyed. The people, he said. would not be con- tent with marriages bare of cere, monly.
