that l55,O00,0GG probably would be

What's the Reason:
Our immigration restrictions in re-

with it. We haven't been Sco0pins

because we wouldn't admit en-. ard
partly because they haven't been 50

Our birth rate has declined :.l2o;
We haven't a. large families a# for

These two influences have signif;cd
materially.
american medicine, however, par
tally has modified them; folks don't
die as fast IS they did earlier {and
quite recently in our national his
tory.
The Census Bureaus problem is to
hit on a correct balance betWe.-., our
dWindling immigration and birth
rates, on one hand, and dWindling
death rate on the opposite hand.
There's Difference.
Nevertheless, there's 4 difference
between dWindling immigration and
birth rates and dwindling death
rate.
Immigrants generally are young
folks. Newly-born babies arc very
young. They constitute between them.
rising generation. The old folk who
don't die, because modern medicine
won't let EN-, altogether are another
type of humans.
Such pretty general switching
from a youthful, "peppy' generation

ed generation has its economic eff
fects. The would-be incoming gen.
GRAFTON is kept back, by older people,
who don't want to be displaced by
the younglings. The outgoing gen.
GRAFTON doesn't want to be hustled.

Census Bureaus Job.
1t isn't the Census Bureaus Job to
enter into these economic issues. It's
mission is 10 provide the Informal
ton from which economists can in
terpret the situation.
In this line the ablest economist

culture department. Bakers thesis is
That we've got to readjust on age
