Italy's Population Scars Despite
War Aftermath And Lack OF Food

Rome -CU. P.)- Despite war,
postwar turmoil and chronic I'M
employment, Italy's population
has increased 1000, 900 during
little more than decade.
A statistical roundup for 1943
published by the central bureau
of statistics showed a steady up
trend.
Since 1871. when the nation S
statistics were first taken, the
population of the country has al
most doubled. Then it was 26,-
800, 900. Today it is 1000, 900, rot
counting those thousands of
Italians who live in territories
lost by Italy as result of the
war, in Venezia, Giulia, Libya,
Eritrea and Somaliland.
The yearly increase has climb
ed steadily until now it is about
500,0 600, about equal to the popu-

ed. The increase in height is
similar to that noted in all north
ern hemisphere countries dur
ing the past half century and
may result from a general ply
steal and social Improvement in
conditions.
Progress in the eternal battle
against death was also shown in
the statistical digest, The NOR
tally rate was reduced from 80. S
per thousand inhabitants in the
1905 period, to ll2 in 1917. In,
FAINT mortality rates were cut ev-
en- more sharply. In 1872, % chill
dren less than a year old dice
out of every 100 born Today only
eight in 100 children under one
die in Italy.
The compendius concerned it.

lation of an average Italian prov
ince. During the past ten years,
Italy has produced enough new
Italians to populate eight addi-
tional provinces, and with
staunch church opposition to any
form of birth control there is lit
tie indication of a change in the
near future.
The southern part of the coun-
try leads in the population in
crease. 1t is also the poorer part
of the country The compendium
showed that ltaly's population in
creased since 1886 some 1874 per
cent in the south, 1913 per cent
in the central provinces and GO
per cent in the industrial, rela-
lively prosperous north.
Italians have not only increas-
ed in number, but they also have
risen in statue, the digest show

death, and the birth rate.

The most serious economic
problem in Italy today, it showed
is that of housing. In 1888, 49,
600 dwelling houses were built !;
last year the figure was only 49,
900.
Meanwhile, the need for hous-
ing had increased tremendously,
because of war losses. Some 3
609, 900 dwelling rooms were
destroyed and 3,260,000 were
damaged during war operations
Also, the population increased
nearly 100000 annually and there
