Abolish Boy
Baby Subsidy
In Switzerland
BY HENRY WOOD
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent)

GENEVA, Jan. 81. - The Swiss
Federal Council is perfectly dispos,
cd to grant parents little state
subsidy for boy babies, but girl
babies are an absolute drug on the
market and their production is not
to be encouraged.
This at least would appear to be
the Interpretation to be placed upon
the action of the Swiss cabinet in
deciding to suppress all birth sub.
sides.
In conformity with the policy
adopted in France, Italy and other
countries to encourage large famil-
les the Swiss Federal council start
ed out very gaily to grant sub
sidy of 100 Swiss francs or $50 to
every family whose tenth child was
a boy.
Immediately however O storm of
protest began coming in from those
numerous families whose tenth
child happened to be a girl, and
who insisted that they ought to
have the 100 francs just the same,
ii being no fault of theirs that their
tenth contribution to the population

happened to be girl instead of a
boy.
About the same time the Swiss
Federal council began mulling over
the statistics on large families in
Switzerland and discovered that at
the present time there are no less
than $500 families who already
have nine children.
As this would have somewhat tax
ed the states finances the Federal
council decided that rather than let
in girl babies on the subsidy they
would abolish the whole system and
hereafter no state Necompense will
be granted to anyone who goes be-
yond the ninth baby limit.
