Mrs. Roosevelt SAYS
Common Sense Should
Govern Family Size

Mrs. Roosevelt replied today to
Catholic publications which have
criticized her recent statement that
only economically secure parents
should have large families. She said
that while she had never advocated
birth control, she believed that
common sense" and considerations
of a mothers health should deter
mine the number of children for a
family.
Hundreds Of persons sent her
clippings from Catholic publica-
tions which expressed indignation
over her comment at last week s
press conference that parents who
had children they could not afford
to feed or educate were not helping
the country.
She took all the criticism in stride,
she said, except one comment in the
Catholic Review. This magazine
contended that many great persons
would never have been born if Mrs.
Roosevelt's economic theory were al
lowed to prevail
4 don't think that point is really
very valid, she said. I'm those fam
lilies there evidently was enough for
the children to eat and to survive" :"
Some Rich People selfish"
Sometimes rich people who can
best afford children don't have them
because. they're selfish, Mrs. Roose-
welt said.
She Skirted around direct COM
ment on birth control, first by
stressing that she had never &C
tually mentioned it last week. This
was coroborated by all the report
ers present who had attended the
conference last week.
II have always said that my
church has never taken q stand
against people using common sense
in the size of their families. It is
important, however, that a mother
be healthy" Mrs. Roosevelt said,
adding: II think the Catholic
Church agrees on that"
Mrs. Roosevelt said she herself
had six children, but it would have
been all right for her to have many
more because the Roosevelts would
have been able to feed and educate
them.
''If I had had 25," she said, with
wave of the hand, they would
have had enough to eat and shell
ter"
Sees Advance in Birth Control.
Going back to the subject OF birth
control she declared: TT is very
important that we think of the
question as one in which science
has made great advances. We don't
lose as many children as we once
lost through lack of knowledge. {"
Tossing the problem back to the
mothers of the country, Mrs. Roose-
welt added, Il don't think what I
said limited anything we could do"
Mrs. Roosevelt commented that
she thinks apartment houses which
bar residents with children are
Outrageous" Apartments that do
not permit dogs are not quite as
outrageous-because children are
more Importantly Mrs. Roosevelt
would like to keep her dogs with
her wherever she goes. She also said
she does not think this country's
birth rate is so low that the custom
Of subsidizing families, adopted in
some other countries, is yet neces-
Sary.
