Adequate Statu Support for Drake Well Park. Chinese kill off thousands of their female infants to relieve the population Contrast the fecundity of the yellow races with those of the white. Between 1917 and 1940 the birth rate of the U. S. fell 27 per cent.

If this trend continues our population will become static in 1970 with about 165,000,000. Whether this will be a benefit or a curse remains to be determined. If proper use made of our ic)le land we could support twice our present population, A test of national virility has been furnished by the present war. While Nazi Germany has been teaching propagation without regard to legitimacy, France has been practicing race suicide with her record of 400,000 abortions a year. Perhaps the war will teach her a much needed lesson.

The significance of this speculation deals principally with Japan, which would like to tumble the rapidly growing populations of the Asiatic races which she is trying to control into sparsely populated South and Central America, Oceania and Africa, and perhaps into North America and Europe as well. Much as we feel the necessity of defeating Germany for our own protection, we believe this is of secondary importance to defeating Japan. There are not enough Germans to prevail against the other nationalities of Europe and North and South America. But let Japan get control of half the population of the earth and there would be no limit to her colonization. The Japanese religion is ancestor worship.

It is their destiny to rule the world. This makes them the most predatory nation on earth. FRIDAY, JUNE 4. 113. ARE THERE TOO MANY PEOPLE IN THE VVOttLD? HORRIBLE That this war is largely the result of racial madness is more or less borne out by a story from Stockholm.

Recently the Nazis set out to liquidate the Warsaw Ghetto. There were 35,000 Jews left of the original 400,000 crowded in the wailed section of that city. Action was precipitated when the Jews revolted against the inhuman treatment and i killed 60 Nazi officers and men. In a pitched battle which lasted three weeks, with women land children defending themselves with their naked 2,000 Jews fell in the streets 3,000 were killed in fires. The deported 14,000 to the east.

I the fact that thc Nazis fought with machine guns, flame throwers and light bombing planes they lost 300 killed and more than 2,000 wounded.

The consequences may be very serious. They mey complfcale in.fiOtne degree the Immediate probfehi8 of the military command, They are almost certain to muKe much more difficult the problems of tho transitional period between the ousting of the Germans and iho establishment of a French government. They could produce a civil confusion in liberated France which would prove to be a formidable obstacle to reconstruction.

Our French policy haB been vitiated by radical error of our diplomatic agents In falling to understand and therefore to report correctly 10 the ctate department and to the White the dominating and ascending importance of the national movement which has rallied around General Charles DeG-aulle. As a result we find ourselves with a French policy which IB not based on the realities. The situation cannot be correct- icne In Africa. Forgetting that Genera) DeGaulle now for federation of powerful Inelde of France, wt have been told that the problem- of French unity waa a question Ot getting two proud generals to come to a personal understanding. So little did we let ourcelvea realize the living force of the French spirit that for time we, actually in? sis ted that Frenchmen had duty to fight under our command nation has been rising again out of defeat, betrayal and disaster, we adopted mystical nonsense that France does not exist that Prance must be absent, dormant, without a will or a voice ot her own, until the war has been won and the prisoners have been returned and elections have been organized and carried out.

We had got ourselves into the doctrinaire position of arguing that unless arty In jcgln by fixing it minds that the root appreciate the cardinal of DeGaulle and the or tho error la not that we recognized and dealt with Vichy, not that we made a deal with Darlan, but that while we were doing these necessary and expedient thlogi failed io Importanc Fighting French. Tfoere has been much outright opposition to the Vichy policy and to the Darlan deal. On balance, given the tact that we had no military force avail- frwn 1WO to 1B42, the case for the Vichy policy has been a very trong one. The real point to not that we dealt with Vichy but that we did not understand, did not cultivate and genuinely support, and that after a while we became tnleeted with personal animosity against, the leaders of tho 'vement of French national resistance. In this there are the makings of a tragedy for France and ileo for Uw United SlaUc.

This is omethlng that cannot be done, and WE shall burn our fingers badly if wo do not look out.

structure of illusions, based upon a mlsjudgment of the realities of the political life of France, has been In some measure dismantled during the last few months. All the elgos indicate that structure IB now crumbling, .3 The question then is whether the authorities In Washington can furget the past, overcome pride of Opinion, and form 8 French policy which restores the confidence, now seriously Impaired, between France and the United States. This is as urgent as it Is Important. To restore confidsr.ee, shall need in our words our acts wisdom, humility, magnanimity and the Imaginative capacity to see ourselves as others see us. Or we shall't become estranged from our oldest friend among 1 the nations, and our indispensable ally In the world that is coming, and we shall live to regret deeply.

Sicly, Sardinia, even the southern mainland may not be rfficient to bring it into combat. One reason for such conjecture the fact that nothing would i thc Allies' purposes better than for the Italians to come out and tight. There is no doubt that Admiral Cunningham disposes ot sufficient er to destroy whatever force comes within range of his gUM. naval battle that would definitively the command of mia-MeaMterrntan would give the United Nations far-reaching strat- egical advantages.
