Hauser, would result in an excess of
females for the first time in our his
tory. This surplus would increase
the proportion of women in the
labor force, and the number of
spinsters, thus further complicating
the postwar problem of full en-
ployment."
In the light Of the experience of
European countries during the first
World War, we may expect a sharp
decrease in marriage and birth rates
in the United States, and a further
decrease in the rate of population
growth. On the basis of the sharp
decrease in the rate of growth dur
ing the 1930-1940 decade, census ex-
perts have predicted that the United
States, within three or four decades,
will have stationary, If not de-
clining population. Since popula-
ton expansion in the past has been
an important factor in our economic
development and prosperity, the
prospect Of an even sharper decline

The So!omons Battle

Although it has been a week since
the Navy first announced that Amer
lean and Allied forces had launched
a counter offensive against the Jap
anese in the SolomonS, only the
sketchiest information as to the prog
ress of the fight has been made pub
lie. From the details confirmed and
otherwise, which can be pieced to-
gether, however, there is reason to
hope that the Navy, the Marines and
the air forces are hammering out
major victory over the enemy
The latest report from Japan, re-
layed through the official German
news agency and picked up by radio,
speaks of a huge naval battle off
the Solomons which lasted for three
days and ended, of course, in a
smashing victory for the japanese.
This report is significant, not because
Of the enemy's victory claims, but
because it lends support to the widely
held belief that an important naval
engagement has been fought in the
Solomons area. And, if this be fact,
there is every reason to suppose that
the engagement was won by our
forces. Certainly, if the japanese
version had been correct, the Navy
would not have been in position to
announce at the weekend that the
Marines were progressing satisfac-
torily" in consolidating beach heads
on three islands in the Solomons,
while the Navy Is engaged in protect
ing our line of communications and
escorting supply vessels to our oc-
cupying forces
At this stage Of the battle, it would
be unwise to attempt to read any,
thing more than this into the reports
which have been made available.
But, considering the extremely diff
ficult nature of the operation, it is
highly gratifying to be able to feel
that at least preliminary success
has been achieved, and if the final
results should show that a really de-
cisive victory has been won there will
be few to complain of the Navys wise
policy of not counting any chickens
before they are Matched.

At no time since the march of the
