MORE DEATHS, FEWER BIRTHS

The death rate in the United States increased in
1923 while the birth rate decreased Statistics to that
eject published by the Census Bureau do not give
reasons for it. Many thoughtful Americans have come
to believe that a lower birth rate, accompanied by
higher health standards well higher standards OF
living and education, was good thing and that it
would be followed by somewhat lowered death rate
Infant mortality is decreasing in many localities.
Death from preventable dseases-notably tubercu-
losis-has been cut down considerably. The accident
toll, on the other hand has been increasing
The birth rate is still far lhead of the death rate,
but if the former continues to decrease while the other
increases the difference between the two will slowly be

THR { ATE N Ed BY
NEW RESIGNATION

William X. Fellows, member of the
board of education, whose term ex-
pires on April 1, 1925, has asked
Mayor Dever not to reappoint him.
With the resignation of President
Moderwell and the expired terms Of
Hart Hanson and Julius Smitenka,
Fellows resignation will reduce Super
intendent McAndrew's support to
minority on the school board.
Mayor Dever, a few months ago,
when approached by the members Of
the Teachers Federation with the re-
quest that he appoint two new mem
bers in place of Hanson and Smitenka
thus giving their side a majority on
the board, said that he would not
make any appointments during his
term of office. However, with the new
turn in events which will reduce Nc
Andrews power in the board, the
mayor has dropped his non-partisan
policy and has announced that he is
looking about for someone to take
the presidents place who will favor
McAndrew's policies.

TROTSKY'S new
BOOK DECREASES
HIS PRESTIGE
Communist Workers Re-
sent Implied Criticism
lspsoIaI q Ths paIIy worksrl

MOSCOW, Nov. SO.-The elimina-
ton Of Leon Trotsky from political
life is predicted here by high officials
of the Russian Communist Party un.
less he abandons his expressed oppo.
sition to the policies OF the party and
his attempt, made in his most re-
cent book, Lessons Of the 1917
revolution" to pose as the sole inter
prefer of Leninism.
It is considered here that Trotsky
has again sinned once more against
the discipline of the Communist
Party, particularly in the preface to
his book in which he once more
raises questions settled in the course
of the party discussion last year, a
discussion which ended in his over.
whelming defeat.
Is Political Question.
Trotsky is a member of the political
bureau Of the Russian Communist
Party and as such his book is of ma.
jor political significance, fact which
Stain and Kameneff emphasize in
articles by them criticizing Trotsky's
statements. That Trotsky's descrip-
ton of himself as the chief aid Of
Lenin in 1917 was designed to reopen
controversial questions there is little
doubt and altho there is no intention
on the part Of the Russian Communis'
Party to take any disciplinary meas
ures against his supporters and sym
pathizers, Stain urges the party tc
conduct an energetic campaign
against the Menshevik ides disclosed
by Trotsky and prevent these from
becoming a theoretical rallying point
for the remnants of the bourgeois in
Russia.
Trotsky last year, in the discussion
that took place, found most of his
support in the ranks of the young
student elements and military cadets
but this time there is but little evil
dence Of support from any quarter
The Russian party is a unit behind
the central executive committee and
the factory workers particularly are
hostile to Trotsky because of the sym
pathy and publicity his statements
and criticism of the party receive
from the capitalist press of the
world.
One thing is very clear in the pres
ent situation. 1t is that the Commun
ist Party is supreme in Russia and
that even men Of genius and practical
ability like Trotsky, if they oppose
the party, can pass from public life
without leaving ripple to indicate
their withdrawal
