Of governments about the
ability to feed their people has
led to legalization of what the
church regards as immoral
practices, including enormous
numbers Of abortions both
within and without the law.
It is in these countries that
Communist propaganda has
made its greatest inroads.
There. DR.. zeegers says, "the
combination Of rapid growth
Of population and a weak ma
tional economy forms the cru
cial problem in every scheme
that is planned for the de-
velopment Of these countries"
Puerto Rico is cited as q
glaring example. There the
high birth rate is combined
with advanced American med
ical techniques which have re-
duced the death rate below 10
per 1000. about equal to that
Of the continental United
States. Ceylon is described as
presenting another especially
alarming situation. There the
death rate has been decreased
from % per 1000 in 1916 to
about IL per 1000 in 1851, the
last year for which statistics
are available. There has been
no decrease in births. The
lower death rate is due almost
entirely to use Of DOT in COM
batting malaria.
Apt to Increase Further
There is some likelihood that
even the present high birth
rate will go up, as various
brakes are removed. In India,
for example, all bans on re-
marriage Of widows have been
lifted by the Nehru govern
ment. Another factor is that
girls tend to marry later. In
the past the average marriage
age has been II years. Girls
Of this age are likely to be
sterile, or to die in childbirth
together with their habies.
With the average Indian mar
riage age advanced to 20 years
or more this gruesome brake
on population no longer exists.
Restraint of births by the
so-called rhythm practice Is
now wholly compatible with
the laws Of the church but,
it is stressed, is highly inefi-
cient. Among the scientific
projects proposed are some
directives toward improving
this system.
While there is widespread
popular opinion that the Cath
Ole Church is OPPOSED to birth
control. DR.. zeegers cites the
ALLEGATION to Midwives de-
HVered by the present Pope
five years ago.
I'VE therefore confirm" he
is quoted. "the legality Of the
regulation Of births, fixing at
the same time the limits-and
very wide limitS-for it. This
regulation Of births (referring
to the rhythm process) In con-
trast to the usual concepts Of
birth control is compatible
with the law Of God. It can
even be hoped that medical
science will succeed in giving
to this permissible method a
sufficiently safe basis, and the
most recent information seems
to confirm this hope"
An object of the present ap-
peal to science is to find an
even more effective and NOR
ally acceptable method which
can be applied when it be-
comes obvious that q coun-
try's population Is overwhelm-
ing its resources and that the
latter cannot be adequately
increased.

A NeighborIy Tale
GREENWILLOW, by B. J

GkEENWILLOW, by b. j.
Chute CDutton. $3.50 blows
through the miasmic fog of
current novels like a fragrant
breath of spring meadows.
It's a simple, mellow tale
Miss Chute tells, but it has
the charm of old stories about
times when the world was less
complicated and people were
still neighborS.
Greenwillow is situated at
no particular place on the
map, at no special time, though
it suggests the easier pace and
the honey virtues of long ago.
Greenwillow is a village on
the Meader River where the
people trade and farm in i'm
memorial ways, untroubled by
automobiles or planes or wars
or wireless. Amos Briggs has
come and gone. Amos is a
wanderer. and his wife and
children know he cannot long
remain anywhere. At the
church there are two rival
pastors, the Revs. Lapp and
BirdSong, though no one knew
why the latter came, when
there was already an estab-
lished pastor. But the two
were not really rivals: some
how they worked together in
their gentle ways.
The story meanders like the
river and as softly and beauti-
fully, touching life, death and
romance.
