FRANCES MENACE
Population Is Decreasing Year by Year,
~ Victor Grand Saws n 70

81 ii Victor Glraud Says
France won the battle of the Marne
She won the battle of the Ruhr. She
will win the battle of the franc. But
all these victories may be to no purpose
if she is not victorious in the battle
of the birth rate" III
Such is the introduction to a study
by NJ. Victor Giraud, in the Revue DIES
Deux Mondes, of the most fundamental
of the problems affecting the future of
France, the progressive falling behind
of her population, compared with other
nations, says the Philadelphia Bulletin.
NJ. Giraud's figures clearly show the
gravity of the problem. The showing
for the twentieth century is worse than
for the nineteenth. In the IL years be-
fore the war, while Italy gained more
than three millions, the British Isles
more than four, and Germany more
than nine. France could not show even
a million 1.-THE figure was S00,00O). In
1900, 1907. 1911 and the first half of
1914, deaths in France exceeded births.
IF nothing" writes M. Giraud. chap
pens. to change French mentality and
thu state of affairs resulting from the
disappearance of ], 100000 young men
(lost in the war;, our population, which
soon decrease. Serious computations
which have been made give the result
that we shall have only 35 million in
1910 and but 20 million in 1865. What
will it be in n century? What will then
be the weight of France in the world
compared to 105 million Germans, Z
million English, 81 million Italians. 2S
million Spanish Is millan Belcians.
and 107 Japanese"
M. Giraud is not a pessimist, He be-
1eves that the World war has given
France the spiritual impulse to rise to
its old height, and that it can and will
win the battle Of the birth rate. So he
recommends the establishment of the
family vote, giving the head of house
hold an extra vote for his wife and one
for each child, and wage bonus for
the man of family. Birth premiums. to
be met perhaps by a special tax on cell
bates, are also in place. Preference to
fathers of large families in the matter
of promotion in the public service is adj
vised. Revision of the law of inheri-
lance is to be considered. The state
should war on bad housing, alcoholism
and social disease, and against the con-
slant provocation to vice tolerated in
French art and literature, and by the
pen, by lecture, by book, tract and bro
chure. by every form of education. LET
the doctrine be proclaimed until it is
automatic in France that every family
able. to do so which has NOT at least
four children fails in its duty toward
the country.
