At that rate of decline in the an
nual growth of population, it viii
only be about 1915 when deaths
will balance births, emigration bal
ance immigration and, perhaps
from then on, there will be an act
ual decline in the number of inha-
bitants of this country. 1t is pos
sible to imagine the Administration
of whoever is elected President in
1914 demanding of Congress auth
GRITTY of offer prizes for larger fam
lilies, as is done in France, Italy and
some other European countries.
The reasons for the decline, in
the growth of population are two
fold. First is the restriction of i'm
migration, which began to take its
present drastic form in 1924. Sc
cond is the decline in the domestic
birthrate. American parents are
not reproducing their kind in
numbers enough to replace the
deaths. The figures here in Wash
ington show that the average wo-
man gives birth to less than one
prospective future mother. And
that condition is causing consider
able concern among the socially
minded members of the Admins
tration-of whom there are plenty

The plain fact seems to be that
the population of the United States
is rapidly approaching the station
airy point. By 1850, and probably
sooner than that, there will no long
er be an annual increase in the
number of people in this country.
Before the war we added about L.
300,00Q people a yearIo the popu-
lation, by birth and immigration.
That was the average over a long
period of years. Assuming that
they earned and spent a thousand
dollars a year each, which is about
the right figure, that made nearly
two billion dollars a year of new
business for American industry and
trade, to say nothing of the de-
mand for half a million new homes
every year to house this increase.
And, from the Governments
point OF view, that rate OF popula-
ton growth meant a corresponding
increase in the number Of persons
who could be taxed, directly or in
directly, thus enabling the nation
to increase its governmental expen-
ditures every year and pile up a
growing load of interest-bearing
debt without really borhering any
body very much.
\ But-this is what the Census fig
ures show. About 1924 the rate of
population increase began to de-
cline sharply. In 1910 the experts
estimated that the Census of 1880
would show a population of 1907
100000. Instead, the count was
only 100000 600. And in the past
ten years it has dropped SO rapidly
that the estimates Of the Census
Bureau-among the most reliable
of Government statistics-show a
growth of only 100000 in the past
year.

Facts About Popula-

Cause of Decline

This time of year used to be
called the SILLY season" in Washing
ten, because nothing of importance
ever happened in August and the
news correspondents had to enter
tain their readers and earn their
own wages by writing trifling Cos
sip about nothing in particular.
Times have changed in that respect.
Nothing very new and startling is
happening, with the President on
his vacation and Congress back
home mending its political fences,
but we have got 50 used to discuss
ing serious and important things
that it seems to have become a
habit. Even in the SILLY season.
we find it hard to be frivolous.
For example, somebody asked the
ever-present question: 'Who is 60
ing to pay off all this new debt
the Government is piling up?" at
the National Press Club the other
day. The usual answer was given,
"Our grandchildren, of course.
But one inqusitive reporter WASN'T
satisfied with that answer. How
many grandchildren are there going
to be, thirty Oh forty years from
now? He~wanted to know. So he
put in a lot of time studying the
records of the Census Office and
his conclusions are so startling and
in the long outlook, SO important:
that some Administration officials
have begun to take notice of them
and wonder whether in some ways
there has not been too much bank
ing upon a future that does not
seem likely to be realized.
