China's Real Problem
(NeW York Times


 After five months investigation the spot, an American Chinese agricultural mission has come to the important if rather grim conclusion that the fundamental problem facing nathe problem at the bottom of all her other troubles is overpopuation in relation to the available tiable land The mission has by overlooked the many other ills which usually emphasized by political writers and which feed the Communist propaganda machines landlordsm tenantry high rents, interest rates and taxes and the feudal backwardness of Chinese agri- culture in general Indeed it makes some detailed and constructive recommendations for coping with these problems. But Claude H. Hutchison, chief of the American section of the mission and dean of the College of Agriculture of California University holds that overpopuaton is more important than any or them and the mission itself declares that unless the pressure of overpopuaton be eased the benefits to be derived from carrying out it's recommendations and from industrazation, will be unable to i'm prove the situation.
 According to the best figures available to the mission Chinas population now totals 457000000, of which 33 100000 live the land In terms of tiable land, there is only about half available for each inhabitant, and only fourfifths of for each farm nhabtant This compared with approxi- maely eight for each inhabitant and more than thirty acres for each farm nhabtant in the United States which is why Americans eat better than the Chinese. As matter of fact, the same problem confronts not only China but the entire Orient, especially India, and even Japan.
 The mission recommends serious consideration by the Chinese Government of to deal with the population pressure, which can only mean birth con tIol But that recommendation clashes head-on with the time-honored Chinese family cult which developed in the early period of Chinese history, when large families economic asset in land cultivation and which later received the sanction of ancestor worship and Confucian doctrine that gave religious force. However birth control is by unknown in the Orient. The Japanese, though they also fol- lowed Chinese ancestor worship knew how to keep their population down during the period of their self seclusion, when they had to depend their The only alternative to birth control facing China appears to be continued misery famine and the revolt of desperate men,

THE SENATE EINGMAKERs

It was probably Senator wayne Morse. Oregon Republican who first inspired the name "kingmak- CTS" as applied to his COP col leapues, Taft, Vandenberg, and White and their now successful eff forts to crown their own men as chairmen of Senate committees.
 Though Senators Reed (Kasl !, Tcbey (NHl, and Wilson da@, got most of the publicity for battl- ing the kingmakers, it was legal minded Morse of Oregon, former Dean of the oregon University Law School who embarrassed them most.
 His tripping-up tactics came dur ing the secret debate of the COP Committee on Committees after young Senator Catot Lodge of Massachusetts. grandson Of the Senator who defeated the League of Nations had been proposed as a member Of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
 The kingmakers had selected two Fasteners, Ledge and Smith of New Jersey, together with one Mid westerner, Hickenlooper of Iowa, as new members of this vital com mittee. This brought an immediate protest from Morse.
 "I consider 1t strange he said, that you have given seats to three men from the relative East and not one seat to the Pacific Coast Apparently you ignore the fact that we on the Pacific Coast face great problems with the Japanese and Chinese, and that one important phase of the war was fought from our shores.
