percent of this increase will be in the group from 45 to GA years of age.
 If all those over 65 years then received cash benefits raised by direct taxation says the report, the average tax each man and woman in the pro- ductve age classes would be $24 for each $100 paid to an older person."
 Therefore the problem of supporting the in- creasing number of old persons is tied up definitely with employment and industrial development.
 Security of the opportunity to work for all who are able and willing to do is coming to be recog- nized as a major responsibility perhaps the first responsibility, of civilized government" the report goes on Millions of unemployed workers represent
 tragic waste obvious waste of human resources The need is for economic adjustment that will stabilize economic development in relation to long time trends Sound distribution of population healthy reproduc- ton trends and opportunities for individual develop ment depend the establishment of more adaptable and progressive economy"

OUR CHANGING POPULATION

The United States is young nation m eompari- with others but gradually it is becoming nation of older people, creating and changing problems, and destined to reach the peak of population by 1880 according to report prepared by the Commit tee on Population to the National Resources Com mittee The report predicts a population peak of 158000000 by 1880 and then a slow decrease.
 We are not becoming a nation in wheel chairs, dependent for support a vanishing company of productive workefs, says the report. Tn fact, the proportion of the total population in the productive age classes 2o-64 years, will apparently be greater throughout the twentieth century than during the nineteenth
 "In planning institutional facilities, it is impor- tant to recognize that for the nation as a whole the number of children of school age will not but the age classes most heavily represented in cer tain types of institutions, for example homes for the aged and hospitals for mental patients will greatly increase The shift in age distribution also has many broad implications for our whole economic and social life"
 The proportion of the total population in the economically productive age classes 20-64 years expected to rise gradually from slightly over percent in 1850 to 6l to 63 percent between 1850 and 1970 and then probably decline. The proportion in this group relatively low fifty years ago; in 1880 it is expected that the number in this group will have increased from 7320o000 to 91,600000 Eighty seven

Japan ase Call It Peace"
(C. -veland Plain Dealer)

Cleveland Plain Dealer)
 Japan's latest peace" plan for China calling for the establishment of five separate governments will be scoffed at by Hankow. Talk of ending the conflict at this time when the invader is finding it more and more burdensome to carry on is deception
 In proposing peace Japan is asking that the greater part of China over which her troops have traversed but which she does not control be handed over to her Neither Generalissimo Chiang Kai Chek nor any leader of the Nationalist government will listen to such proposal And the sop contained in the scheme to give foreign nations spheres of influence will fall on deaf abroad Spheres of influence in Japan terminology exist mainly paper, Man choukuo proves.
 Only central China would be left to the Kuomin- tang government under this proposal This "gener- diatey accept the whole plan Even south China mainly Kwantung and Kwangsi provinces, which the Japanese have not penetrated, would become an autonomous government under the control of the invading army
 This assumption of the right to carve up China by a state which has violated numerous treaties binding her to keep the peace in the Far East looks like sign of desperation. It is doubtful if the Japanese anticipate it's acceptance by either the Chinese government foreign powers It is imprac- cable because the Chinese people aroused to a new would tolerate it. It does however give Tokyo the right to tell the world that she pro- posed peace which rejected by the Chinese. This sophistry will be used in the future to place the blame for the continuation of the the shoulders of the victims of Japanese aggression.

Of hunger. In after life it would
be quite natural that conflicts-the
loss of that affectionate circle who
once administered those basic
needs-would result in "tempera-

Colitis studies revealed another
kind of conflict to be present in
the mind-the idea that one had
given so much to the world that
| he deserved to have rest and
peace. That this did not occur, en-
gendered hate, and the intestinal
disorder was an expression of that.
The constipated individual, on
the contrary, had a pessimistic
idea about receiving help from
others, and retains everything for
himself, even his intestinal con-
tents which he does not want to
get rid Of. Bankers and million
aires are said to be very consti-
pated.
The ideas of modern psycholo-
gists are still in a junhled state,
and these ideas may seem queer to
many, but there Is enough sense In
them to suggest that many "anx-
