which exists in Greece today could
be created without any trouble.
Togliatti, with vast funds at his
disposal, already has semimilitary
organization composed of the re-
sistance forces which the United
States armed during the last
months of the war. These men
have never surrendered the weap-
ons sent them by America and
Britain. They are concentrated
principally in Northern Italy be-
tween the Alps and the Pc River
and are being trained even now in
guerrilla and civil war tactics by
Russian and Yugoslav instructors.
The italian government, with .
dispirited and weak army in which
the Communists have already made
deep inroads, cannot take any &C
ton against these forces. Hence.
a situation similar TO that which
exists In the Peloponesus, where the
Greek Communists keep alive a
civil war, is likely to occur in Italy.
There are no Russian troops in
Italy. But on Italy's eastern border
strong Yugoslav army stands
ready to move, under one pretext
or another, into Italy.
These are factors which the
American Government has to take
into account. But the State De-
partment is convinced that the rati-
fcation Of the treaty with Italy.
coupled with the policy announced
by President Truman on March IL,
might possibly save Italy from JOIN.

By Joseph HonIon

| Something startling has been hap
pening to population trends in this
country, and in the world. 1t has
the photographers those erudite
statisticians who chart the course
of such events-all upset.
| And what they have found should
give statesmen, businessmen, edu-
Gators, sociologists and others oc-
casion to review and revise their
plans.
A Comparison
There are two aspects of the mat
ter. One is the unexpected bulge
in the population of the United
States during the 194Os. That is the
short range situation. The long
range prospect is that the bulge of
the 1940s has postponed the day
when this country will reach a sta
tionary or declining population.
But the day is coming and mean
time the populations of Russia and
Asiatic countries are climbing at a
much more rapid rate than those OF
the United States or nations OF
Western Europe.
Just for example: The United
States had an estimated population
in 1945 of 139, 621 900, of whom a.
024, 900 were men in what might be
taken roughly as the military age
group-20 to 80. In the next gen.
Grafton, that is by 1910, our total
population is expected to grow to
1859 BAT 900, of whom 24,120,000 will
be men in the 20-39 age bracket.
For comparison, Russias 1945
population is estimated at $4,000, 900
with %, 100000 in the military age
group and by 1870 these figures are
expected to grow to 251, 100000 and
40, 300 900.
The statistics are easier to under
stand when expressed in percen-
tages. On that basis we look for a
IA per cent increase in total popu-
lation in the next generation: Rus
STA for a SO per cent increase. Con-
sidering only the military age groups
OF the two countries the anticipated
increase in the United States is 8
per cent: in Russia, 40 per cent.
More Easy Chairs
Here, manifestly, is something for
statesman interested in organizing
peaceful world order to concern
themselves with.
Here is evidence of profound social
change in our own country-we
aren't growing in numbers as fast as
we used to, and the average age o.
our population is increasing.
To reduce the matter to triviality
which may illumine one small facet
OF the question-it means that the
manufacturer of high chairs now
may be making easy chairs gen.
Grafton hence II he wants to main
! tain a market for his product.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1947-06-08

: That is a brief glimpse at some OF
the long-range changes to be con-
sidered in more detail later. But
what is happening right now?
The depression of the 1930s, the
war, and war generated prosperity
combined to produce the current
bulge in the charted line of the
United States population.
During the 1905 marriages were
postponed because people simply
couldn't afford to establish families
Came the war and two different
factors combined to more than make
up that deficit in new families. One
was psychological: The here today
and gone tomorrow" attitude that
led many persons to advance their
marriage plans. The other was
abundance of jobs and money which
made it possible for some who would
have delayed marriage to enter
into it.
Because wartime marriages made
up a statistical deficit accumulated
in depression years and furthermore
anticipated the future. We now have
substantially larger number OF
families than the demographers had
expected, but for the same reasons
they hold that the war will have
slight influence on the long-range
population trend. On the one hand
we overcame a past deficit; on the
other we drew against the future.
Sharp Dip Expected
There will be. every 20 years OF
so, another bulge in the chartec
population curve as the infants Of
these years marry and have theil
own children, but the line Is ex-
pected to appear as series OF
diminishing waves. And in the 1906
there should be sharp dip, be-
cause wartime conditions encour-
aged some who would have married
in that decade to do SO earlier.
Just before the war about IL
infants were born each year fol
each 1000 of our population. Now
the figure is in the neighborhooo
of 20 for each 1000, peak in oul
recent history.
1t isn't hard to discover what this
means in terms of the nationa
economy. The manufacturers Of
layettes, snuggle- Dummies, children'E
snow suits and such things have
| big years ahead for them. In an
other 10 years or so they would dc
better in the roller skate and BIZ
cycle business. And a few years
later they might well consider the
needs of what may be that equiva-
lent of the hep-cat's requirements
Then will come another rise ir
the demand for homes and house,
Furnishings and the cycle will repeat
itself, with lessened force.
! Following the same pattern, there
will be in the next few years ar
intensiflcation OF overcrowding or

the years go on this condition viii
progress through the high schools
and colleges.
Overcrowded cities will continue
to lose residents to outlying dis.
tricts, no matter how vigorously
they attempt rehabilitation o.
blighted areas within their boun.
diaries. This will raise a host o.
questions relating to transportation
and to civic services. The down
town" shopping districts will bt
hard put to maintain their prestige
already many far-seeing merchant:
have sought to offset this by estab.
fishing branch stores in outlying
centers.
Would Bring Changes
Industry will be faced with the
problem of accommodating its oper-
ations to older workers.
| AS the population experts now
estimate it, the United States viii
have reached its peak in number,
of people by the year 1890 and the
curve on the chart will then bt
down-by 1000 to 1853, 900, some.
thing more than million less thar
10 years before.
1t is only fair to say that long
range predictions of things to come
particularly predictions of popula.
ton trends, are VIGOROUSLY mac.
curate In the population field pos.
sibly the biggest boner was pulled
by Thomas Nautilus, an 18th cen.
tury prophet who figured out on {
very scientific basis that the earti
wasn't big enough to support al
those who would inhabit it if people
kept multiplying as they did in his
day.
But Nautilus miscalculated. There
are about 100000 900 people today
a little more than double the mum.
Der who existed when he came II
the conclusion the world was OF
the verge Of starving to death.
Not to suggest that the source
on which this article is based ar,
as faulty as Nautilus, but simply Il
give credit where it is due, it nigh
be noted at this point that TIL
authorities for the conclusions re
cited are mainly the United State
Bureau of the Census, DR.. Franz
Notestein, director of the Office o
Population Research at Princeton
University, and DR.. Frank LorimeT
professor of population studies a
American University.
Other Factors

and depressions and many othe
factors affect population growth ant

these factors are unpredictable tina

MEANINGLESS Verdicts


eight lynchers were convicted and
sentenced to from three to five years
each-but there Is no record Of
terms being served.
In South Carolina, three men were
convicted of manslaughter in 1941
after the fatal beating of Negro
at Georgetown. The case was APP
pealed and here, too, there Is no
record of time served.
Texas has a record OF five con-
victions-three in 1920 in which the
sentence was two years, suspended.
and two in 1880 where the lynchers
got two years each. Virginia con-
victed two persons in 1928 and SEN
fenced them to from one to two
years.
North Carolina, which has had no
lynching since 1885, is particularly
proud of its record. Although SO
iynchings have been charged to the
State since 1900, It's Governors have
acted swiftly to prosecute where 1t
was possible to do so. Four white
men were imprisoned for an unsuc-
cessful attempt to remove a Negro
from Buncombe County Jail In 1925.
When they applied for clemency,
the late Gov. A. w. Mclean said:
When the State of North Caro-
lima takes . prisoner into custody,
1t then becomes responsible for his
safety and that responsibility re-
mains until his case is disposed Of
in accordance with law. A prisoner
in custody Of the law Is entitled to
the same protection as Is the judge
OF the bench, or the solicitor who
represents the State In the prosecu-
ton"
