SEES MENACE IN
 RACIAL INCREASE
Birth Control Advocate Fore
 casts Conditions Century Hence

In 100 years from now the world will have reached its saturation point, at which timo there will not be sufficient food supply to keep the population from starving, accord ing to Henry r. Fletcher, a birth control advocate, who addressed the members Of the New Britain Lions club at the Burritt hotel today. He said that in order to main tain the same standards Of living the people of the United States now enjoy, the country could not support more than 175,00O,0O0 people, or just 65,0O0,O0O more than there are in the country now. In 1920 at the present rate of population increase he said the country will have 212,- 900, ,0O0 persons. In 40 years he said tho country will be much over pop ulated.
 He said that the population of the world will reach five billion, which is its saturation point, in 100 years. The alternative of feeding with synthetic pills, thus saying the ground needed for food production, would be Impossible, he said.
 He advocated avoiding this situa- ton by lowering the birth rate. He denied that birth control would en- courage immortality, but said 1t would lessen the number of unfit, insane and of low mentality.
 He quoted changes in the present laws which the Birth Control League would like to enact in Con- necticut and concluded by reading some letters received by Mrs. Mar. garet Sanger, birth control leader. It was voted that the Lions clut will be host to the workers in the United Community campaign or March 24. pr. L. E.
