''MOre Babies" Drive
Waged by Mussolini

1t is hard to share the often-voiced
apprehension of Mussolini and his jour-
nalistic disciples over the Italian birth
rate when one studies the statistics of
the. size of italian families compiled
after great research for the use of IL
duce in his more babies" campaign.
On June 80, 1928, there were in Italy
1882 900 families with seven or more
children. Seventy per cent OF these
families, or 100000. have between 7
and children. Seven families gladden.
Mussolinis heart with Is or more chill
dren, z others have "a children each,
while Is families have % children
apiece. There are 20 families with %
children, 81 with 81 and 1872 with 20
children. Sixty per cent OF these large
families 1890, 000) are engaged in agri-
cultural pursuits where children are
early put to work and are regarded as
economic assets. Twenty-one per cent
of the large families are classified as
those Of low-paid workmen. The middle
and professional classes contribute the
smallest percentage Of families with nu-
merous prog. Anti-malthusian propa-
ganda is now directed especially toward
the city dwellerS. The editors try to
shame cities with stationary birth rates
and laud those showing larger number
of babies than were reported in pre-
ceding years. Newspapers the other day
carried a photograph of the twelfth
baby of a 32-year- old italian newspaper
man. "Our best wishes for the second
Dozen" said one journal running the

Alien Quota Flaw
Is Claimed by Irish

There is much discussion IN Irish
newspapers regarding the forthcoming
reduction In the immigration quota to
the United States from the Free State.
It is stated in Ireland that in regulat-
ing immigration according to national
origins the United States authorities
are deducing the national origins from
personal names. And they are accord
ingly told that in the case Of Ireland
this method Of procedure Is all wrong,
since many names that look English,
like NeVilles Peyton, Caulfield, Moody,
Freeman and King, are really corrup.
tions of genuine Irish names and borne
by families of irish descent. In the
penal days, says Seamus MacCall, many
an Irishman was compelled by law to
discard his Irish name and choose an
English surname, such as the name OF
a town, like Chester, or OF color, Ike
Black or Browne, or OF q trade, Ike
Carpenter. There are thousands OF
Smiths, native Irish, who bear In Gaelic
the name MacGowan. Many Gaelic
names were literally, translated. The
0'Sionnachs, for example, became the
Foxes. and O'Cuills became Woods.
Sometimes the names were not trans
lated, but spelled in English as they
soundedSto English ears. so Klllfeatner,
which looks English enough, represents

When one talks about civilization
these days 1t is essential to tell what one
means by the word. There are those that
are satisfied that 1t means the multiple
cation of telephones and radios, motor
cars and airplaneS, bath tubs and cleo
trical contrivanceS. But M. Caillaux is
not pleased with this definition. Nor
is he satisfied to have the word limited
to agreements which make mems rela-
lions with their fellows more easy, elm
mating motives of disgust, envy and
fear" That is, he is not convinced that

ing never again to go to war, they will
therefore automatically become civilized.
In his mind civilization is an organ
ization both of morality and material
well-being," and by morality" he does
not mean simply conduct-following &C
cepted conventional rules of ethicS-but
rather that gospel of gentleneSS and
charity preached on the mount" What
he finds lacking in contemporary defi-
nitions of civilization is the spiritual
mind. He apparently finds no trace
at all of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES in this
country. Indeed. his distress is largely
founded on what he believes to be our
complete absorption in material things.
