to extremes that would be al
most impossible in a democratic
country.
In terms of military power, the
historical advantage always has
gone to the power with the most
fertile population. It is also a
disturbing fact that practically
all the areas of the world where
the idea of democratic govern
ment predominates are faced with
the same problem of declining
populations.
What causes the birth rate of a
nation to decline at a period of
its greatest development Is a
question that is still not salts
factorily answered, and which is
under study by experts today.
And since the causes of birth rate
changes are not clear, neither,
are the measures, II any, which
can be taken to reverse the exist
ing trends. The fact is that State
efforts in the past never have
succeeded in their purpose.
The United States census, and,
the projected World census will
put this study on q scientific
basis. The officials of the Census
Bureau are not involved in the
political implications of the sub
ject. Their business Is merely a
matter Of gathering the facts
and making those facts available
to any one who wants them.
But the information they will

OF course, any census recon-
mended by a commission of the
U. N. depends on the cooperation
of the various sovereign countries
involved. But up to this point,
there has been nothing but en-
thusiaism expressed for the idea.
Mr.. Houser. who also represents
the United States on the Popula-
ton Commission of the U. N. says
that Russian representatives were
present at all discussions Of the
world census plan, and from OUT
ward appearances at least. seemed
to favor it.
The basic objective of the U, N.
plan is to get a complete picture
on world population for the ad-
vice of the U. N. and the value of
such a report is not limited to
theoretical students Of world
economy. It would provide data
for the planning Of the economic
agencies of the U. N, including
the World Bank. It would also
serve as guide to the European
Recovery Program, not only in
the development of It's future
plans, but also a measure OF the
effectiveness Of what has been
done In the past. :
A world census would have
special application to the plans OF
our own Government, particularly
in relation to the Administrations
so-called "point-four'' program.
Just as our domestic labor statis-
tics help the Government spread

most needed.
Tucked away in the corner of
the 1850 census questionnaire Is
one question which might seem
almost irrelevant in itself. but
which may provide a key to one Of
the most serious problems facing
this country and the world today.
The question asks married
women how many children they
have ever borne. The purpose is
to find out as much as possible
about the behavior of our national
birth rate.
That behavior itself is becoming
an alarming problem. Since 1900,
the birth rate Of the United States
has decreased full .two-thirds.
|If it continues to decline at its
present rate, experts predict that
the population will become stable
within the next IS years. BY 1885.
the projections show a peak pop
ulation of 161, 1886 900 which will
decline by the year 1000 to 159, ,420
persons.
During the period Of this coun-
try's greatest expansion from q
geographical standpoint, the rise
in population was enormous. From
1890 until 1880, the population
maintained an increase rate Of
more than 80 per cent for every
10-year period. Only the Civil
War broke that upswing. with
the period Of 1860 to 1870 show
ing an increase of % per cent.
But In the years following 1880,
the population increase has
dropped swiftly. In the period
from 1880 to 1910, the effects Of
the depression, combined with the
general trend drove the birthrate
down to 10 per cent for the 10
year period-less than half the
rate shown for any preceding

Woman Drops Cigarette
In Bed, Burns to Death

A woman was burned to death
early yesterday in a fire which
apparently started when she
dropped a lighted cigarette in bed.
Although the fire was confined
to the bed, the victim, Mrs. Daisey
Buchanan, As, colored, was found
near the back door of her first
floor apartment at GIT Fourth
street NV.
Coroner A. Magruder Mac
Donald issued a certificate of
accidental death. He said the

decade. In terms OF absolute IN
crease of the population, it was
also the lowest Of any period since
the Civil War.
Today that trend has reversed
itself. Statistics gathered in the
course of current surveys, showed
a yearly population increase of
10 per cent from 1910 to 1943,
and experts predict that the 1850
census will show a continuation
Of the upward trend through the
war years and the postwar boom
period.
But that upward trend Of the
birth rate is believed to be a
temporary phenomenon. largely
brought about by the war, whose
effects will be diminished rapidly
from now on. The long-range
is for an increasingly
lower birth rate, leading near the
end of the century to more and
more rapidly diminishing popula-
ton. @
The Importance Of this fact
can be appreciated only by a
survey Of the general population
picture Of the world, and that
picture is not as exact today as
the experts would like.
Population growths and declines
fall into three broad categories.
First, there are areas Of low in
dustrial development. such as
China, where the fertility rates
common to an agrarian COM
are In effect.
AS a result, China's birth rate
is huge. But at the same time.
the more or less primitive condi-
tions that accompany the high
birth rate also result in an equally
high death rate, and the result
Is that the population Of China
Is relatively stable.

Six Big Lobbies Seen
Facing Opening Guns
OF House Probers
BY the Assoeiotsd Press


Six big groups may be the in
itial targets of a special House
committee getting ready to inves-
tigate lobbying.
While the committee. headed by
Representative Buchanan, Demo
crat. of Pennsylvania, has charted
no fixed course and probably
won't for several more weeks, Mr.
Buchanan told reporters it may be
guided largely by a Library OF
Congress report on lobbying.
This report, prepared by w.
Brooke Graves Of the Legislative
Reference Service, says:
Some of the fields in which
lobbies have been or are now es-
pecially active" include "the tariff
lobby, the natural resources lobby
in its various forms, the real es-
tate group, battling against any
kind of public housing program;
the airlines lobby, the agriculture
lobby and the dramatic struggle
between the representatives of the
dairy interests and the oleomar-
garine manufacturers"
Other active lobbies, the report
continued, include those in
terested in business, education,
health. labor. military and vet
erans legislation.
During the first six months of
1948, the report said, more than
So SOC, 900 was spent on lobby
ing activities. The heavier out
lays were said to have been made
by groups interested in displaced
persons legislation and in bills to
repeal the tax on oleomargarine,
and to provide q Government
medical service program.
