BIRTH RATE, FAMINE
AND OVERPRODUCTION

For those who worry about overprO-
duction on the worlds farms, or those
who wrinkle brows over declining birth
rates in American cities, or those who
puzzle over relief for famine victims
in Asia, here is a new problem that is
going to need sOlving-and that will in
all probability solve the others auto
matically.
In 1900 the population of the world
reached $50 millions. Today it is about
1850 millions. 1t took the human race
about half a million years to reach
$50 millions in population, and only
100 years to more than double that num-
Der.
One billion people have been added
to the population of this globe in little
more than an ordinary life span.
The figures pretty thoroughly do away
with current worry about a declining
birth rate. Yet the increase has brought
famine to thousands in China, India.
Russia and other Near East regions.
The same economic difficulty that lets
them starye creates an over-abundance
IN the United States, where the govern
ment encourages farmers to pillow under
crops. Congestion of populations lack of
transportation facilities and interna-
tional barriers are to blame.
Thus far no solution has been sug-
gested, but if the worlds population
increases in the next 100 years as it
has in the past 100, it is evident that
today's worries will be traded for trou
bles far more vast. 1t will be not "plow
more crops under" it will be, grow
more crops"

SEVEN WONDERS OF
WORLD ARE NO MORE

Once upon time there were Seven
Wonders of the world. Can you name
them?
Chances are you're wrong about one
or more
They were, as listed on the original
scroll, the Shpinx and Pyramids of
Egypt, the hanging gardens of Babylon,
the Temple of Diana at Ephesus, the
statue of Jupiter Olympus, the tomb
of Mausolus in Asia Minor, the Pha-
ros of Alexandria and the Colossus of
of Rhodes.
All were man-made. and all have
faded into history, with either no body
or no practical use left.
Of course there have been other lists
of the "Seven Wonders" including
both wonders of nature and wonders of
mans construction. Unless he wants to
confine the list entirely to one of ma
lures doings, man might as we'll aban-
don the Seven Wonders idea. Mankind
advances too rapidly to set up any such
list for posterity.
Consider that old list alongside one
we might draw up today, without going
farther afield than the borders of the
North American continent. Offhand, we
offer this list:
Boulder Dam and Lake Mead the
Golden Gate Bridge at San Francisco,
the towering structures of Radio City
in New York, the federal governments
huge storehouse for gold at Denver
giant Clipper airplanes that span the
Pacific every week, motion picture tenn
pies across the nation, and towering
radio and wireless stations in every
state.
The list Of modern wonders could go
m Y Of
ing any of those old Seven Wonders.
The man who attempts to draw up a
new list of Seven Wonders courts the
same danger that has seen the old list
become obsolete Who knows today what
the wonders of tomorrow will be? We
know only that they will make the eff
forts of today puny by comparison.
Truly the world marches ceaselessly
on

WORTHY OF LUTHER'.S NAME

An encouraging stand against a grow
ing temptation for churches to rely on
financial support from "bingo" forms of
gambling is that just taken by the Unit
ed Lutheran Synod of New York. That
the resolution barring gambling games
from the 400 Lutheran churches in east
ern states was framed by lay workers is
especially noteworthy. Like the founder
of their church, they have made a choice
which recognizes that good ends require
good means. Their concept of 'the
Fathers business" holds no place for
church gambling.

TO CLOSE A
TAX LOOPHOLE
(Wall Street JOurnal)

(Wall Street JOurnaD
1t is with real satisfaction that this
newspaper, which has frequently felt
itself obliged to criticize adversely the
doings and sayings of official Washing
ton, recognizes high merit in the volu-
minouS report of the Department of
Justice to the treasury department on
the taXability of income derived from
state and federal securities and of the
salaries of public servants. Judging
from the brief summary thereof printed
in these columns last week, the report
may be expected to clear up a cloud of
misunderstanding on the subject and
help materially toward a fair and rea-
SOnable settlement of a controversy of
steadily increasing importance.
Foremost among the merits of the
repOrt-reegarding it from the lay
mans and not the lawyers point of
VIEWS its strong insiStence that legis-
lation taxing either the income from
Government securities or the salaries of
federal, state or municipal employees
must in no case be retroactive. Here is
involved the moral principle of the sane
tlty of contracts and the Immortality of
arbitrary alteration of an existing agree
ment by one of the parties thereto for
to realize the viciousness of such a pro-
posal, yet just that departure from the
straight and narrow path has been pro-
posed in high quarters. 1t is good to see
the Department of Justice thus honor
ing its name.
Next, the report holds that if the
Federal Government decides to tax in
come from local government obligations
it should explicitly concede the right
of the states to tax the income of hold
ers of the national debt. There is reason
to doubt that this concession will be
fully compensatory in its effect on the
finances of all local governments. Some
perhaps many, will have to pay out
more in higher interest rates on their
taxable obligations than they can real
lze by assessing their own taxpayers
holdings of newly taxable investments.
But the quid pro quo, for what it may
be worth, cannot fairly be withheld
On the departments expressed opin-
ion that future issues of public obliga-
tiOns can be reciprocally taxed by fed
eral and state governments without
constitutional amendment we shall not
venture a judgment. That is a question
for the lawyers to discuss and the courts
to decide We content ourselves for the
present with a repetition of our previ-
ously expressed belief that the value of
tax exemption cannot be eQuitably
charged against all purchasers of ex-
empt investments in issue price and
coupon rate and that therefore there
should be no area of exemption in which
any capital may take refuge. This ques-
ton is not at all inconsistent with our
further belief that active capital is al
ready oyertaXed
If there were no more in this report
than its firm insistence that government
respect the contracts they have made,
it would be wholly welcome in these
days of declining regard for the pledged
word

The big brag of the totalitarian
state is that it is efficient. It may
be a bit repressive and hard to
live with but it Gets Things Done;
slipshod old Democracy Just mud
dies along, falling over its own
feet and tanning itself to death
with the breeze of its waste mo-
tionS.
Okay. Let's look, as they say, at
the record.
Until recently the New York
Times maintained it's central Euro
can bureau in Vienna. The Ans
chluss made it necessary for the
bureau to be moved to Prague. The
bureau consisted of four small
rooms; the stuff to be moved in
cluded small amount of furniture,
few typewriters, and some files.
The Times blithely notified the au-
thorities called the movers, and
prepared to get going.
At this point German efficiency
stepped in-with the result that it
tok two mortal months to get one
vanload of possession moved from
Vienna to Prague.
First of all, the authorities had to
be sure that the proper taxes were
paid. Inspectors of high and low
degree came to call. Innumerable
documents had to be examined, ap-
pealS taken, signatures of various
functionaries obtained. All of this
took three weeks.
Then the efficient Teutons had
to go over all of the the things
that were to be moved-and go
over them they did, with a super
efficient fine-tooth comb. Every file
that was being taken out had to
be opened and examined thoroughly.
Every book was opened and exam
ined to make sure that no bank
notes or other contrabrand were
being taken out of the country. ELL
velopes of newspaper clippings we're
scrutinized down to the last typo
graphical error. Boxes of empty en-
velopes were opened SO that each
envelope could be peered into.
The inspectors had the most fun
with 120 bound volumes of the
Times. These had to get close
scrutiny, like everything else; and
if you have ever seen a bound vol
ume of daily paper, you can i'm
agine how long it took to go through
those 100 volumes. But the job was
done, regardless; and the furniture
was examined for concealed hiding
places.
BY the time all this was done,
the tax premits previously obtained
had expired. These had to be re-
newed, which meant more delay
Then the movers had to be rounded
up. The loaded van had to be sealed;
loaded it had to proceed at snail's
pace, while six inspectors walked
alongside like pallbearers, to make
sure on one added or subtracted
from the precious load.
So, what with one thing and an
other the Times got moved-is two
months.
All very efficient, certainly, but
efficient for what? Efficient in the
sense that German officialdom
knows, to the last paper clip, ex-
actly what the Times took out of
Vienna; staggeringly, unbelievably
inefficient and bunglesome from
every other viewpoint.
It's less strain on the nerves
to muddle through with old Miss
Democracy-don't you think?

u. S. Health Program
An Annual Bill :.
BY RODNEY BUTCHER


proposals for a national health pro-
gram will be proposed to congress
by President Roosevelt next Wintei
and a bill embodying the proposals
will be introduced, probably by Sen
ator Robert F. Wagner of New York.
That, at least, is the tentative
plan of administration officials on
the Interpartmental Committee to
Coordinate Health and Welfare
Activities which sponsored the Ma
tional Health Conference.
This committee and its committee
of technical experts presented re-
Communications for general health
services, medical service to the
needy and hospital construction
which might reach an annual cost
of $3.50, 100000 to federal, state and
local governments. 1t was suggest
ed the federal government might
pay half the sum in order to equal
izs the financial burdens, stimulate
local action and develop health and
medical care and opportunities for
everybody.
Few expect congress will be asked
to appropriate as much as $425, ,0J0,-
900 for the first year of such a pro-
gram. Recommendations for health
insurance also will be opposed by
some medical organizations. AS to
that, the technical experts reported
that an adequade general program
of medical care for all Americans
may cost up to a maximum Of
$40 per person per year." suggest
ed a comprehensive medical care
program for the entire population
through funds raised by taxation,
contributions by beneficiaries -
health insurance systems or to d
combination of both-the choice to
be made by the states receiving
federal aid.
Extent of initial legislative pro-
posals will be conditioned by public
reaction to proposals at the con-
ference. The committee thinks it
mas revealed a huge public demand
as well as an appalling need.
Washingtonians who observed the
victory of Congressman Jerry O'Con
nell of Montana renominated on an
anti-Senator Wheeler and pro-
Roosevelt platform, are relieved to
know that the capital will not be
bereft of the presence of Mrs. Maize
O'Connell, once a Hollywood model
and a winner of beauty prizes.
Beautiful Mrs. O'Connell was right
red-headed Jerry when
he invaded the Jersey City czardom
