Brituin's Birth Rote

Brltons have reason to be dis
turbed about their birth rate. Ac-
cording to White Paper just issued
by the Royal Commission on Popu-
lation after an eighteen month
study, it is not inconceivable that
they will gradually fade away as a
people unless something is done to
check the present trend.
In 1870. the White Paper points
out, the average family in the
United Kingdom had five or more
children, but today it has only two.
This is attributed not to any in
crease in the physiological causes of
sterility but predominantly to delib-
crate birth control. No evidence of
a biological failure has been found;
the royal commission makes clear
that the people themselves have
fixed the trend through planned
parenthood
In the words of the White Paper,
"The evidence amply confirms the
generally accepted view that the
immediate cause of the fall in the
birth rate is the widespread practice
of family limitation = in all prob
ability birth control will spread and
become even more effective. This
means that the numerical strength,
even the survival, of the nation de-
pends on individual decisions which
men and women make about the
number of children they will have"
Apparently the situation goes
deeper than a mere stabilization of
the United Kingdoms population at
its current level of about $4,000, 900.
At the present rate, according to the
royal commission, an actual decline
will certainly take place within the
next twenty years, and unless the
trend is reversed after that, a
steady, long-term falling of Of
numbers may ultimately make Brit
ons vanish as nation. On the basis
OF a questionnaire soon to be cir
culated among British wives. the
commission hopes to learn enough

with a strong national conscious
ness. It is they who head the inde-
pendence movement, and it is nota-
BILE that this movement is not only
nationalistic but has a distinct COM
munist tinge.
Such is the profoundly troubled
situation that confronts the French
home government. The question is
whether, with its limited resources,
it will have the strength to re-estab-
lish French authority over its Far
Eastern empire. But the French
are dubious as to the expediency of
letting the British and Chinese take
a large share in the job of pacifica-
ton. On the other hand, failure of
the French to regain control of
Indo- China would set a dangerous
precedent for other lands recovered
from the Japanese, such as Burma,
Malaga and the Netherlands Indies,
all of which have similar native
movements of unrest.
