Kuczinski, council member of the Institute of Econ- smics, Washington, D, C,, and pro- 'essor of economics in the Berlin Handelschochschule, "Even allowing for all conceiv- thle advances in science and tech- - aigue and assuming that all human effort be:directed to the mainten- ance of a maximum number of it seems impossible that the earth might sustain more than six .times its present population." Despite insufficient data as to birth rates, there exists a basis to predict a slowing down of the cate increase, according to Prof. Kuczinski., A study just compléted by the Institute of Economics of the Brookings Institution in Wash- Ington covering Great -Britain and [teland, France, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland, which has 10 or 11 per cent of the earth's population, indicated that]. fertility fs already so low that not only does the population no longer virtual deficit of about 7 per cent, "The poulation of Western and Northern 'Europe is increasing be- cause the proportion of women of child-bearing age 1s particularly large and proportion of young and old persons particularly low," the lecturer said, "The number of old For Your Drug Needs .

"Even without having accurate data at our disposal for all the countries involved, we may then at least say this much, namely that the population of Western and Northern Europe, North America, and Australia combined no longer reproduce themselves. It + thelr population in the future remains stable instead of increasing, and if in all other countries the popula- tion increases at the rate which ap- parently prevailed from 1920 to 1926, mankind will double in 150 instead of 110 years.

EF CERTAIN id 10 RATIFY PACTS War Debt Accords Likely to Meet Approval of | Senate Paris, July 5.--Premier Ray- mond Poincare is almost certain to obtain the Senate's ratification, with certain reservations, of France's war debt accords with Great Britain and the United States, Senator Lucien Huvert, chairman of the Senate Foreign Af- ; Ir. C. ments, plan, Phope ci9 mankind more, and possibly much more, -than 150 years to double its numbers. In the meantime, the race composition of the world, .and especially of Europe, would have considerably changed, since the Anglo-Saxons, Germans, Scandin- avians, and French no longer re- produce themselves, while the Slavs still have an enormous genuine growth, This is nothing new, for the Slavic population of Europe for a long time has increased much more than the Teutonic and the Teutonic much more than the Ro- manie, "Once the countries which the Teutonic and Romance races in- habit become dependent upon im- migration in order to keep up pop- ulation, the Slavs will flock in. They will come because they will find opportunities to work at fair wages and they will be wel- come because no nation wants de- serted farms, closed factories, va- cant houses, less tax-payers. "Mortality in the future in all likelihood will decline, but the re- duction in those ages which are the only decisive ones for reprec- duction cannot be very great after all that has already been accom- plished. Fertility might increase again, and there are people who predict that such an increase will occur with increasing prosperity. But an increase of prosperity - so far as a rule has not resulted in an increase of fertility. "A great deal will depend upon whether considerably advance of birth control movement in ths East will accompany its practically universal acceptance in Europe and North America. If by any chance th .emovement in the East should be delayed the Mongolian race might find birth restriction not particularly urgent, because therc would be outside of its own coun- tries vacant territories in which to settle." |. 18 Simcoe Bureet, South. 2,04 p.m. Baily. 8.03 p.m. Daily except Sunday.

Contrary to the theory advanced by Washington that the war debts had nothing in common with the reparations payments, it appeared almost certain that the receipts from the Young plan will play an essential role in transferring funds to the United States and Great Britain in payment of France's debt, .

H. Ferguson announced yesterday that a new high school history test would soon be prepared for use ie Ontario, following directions issue ed by him. There is also a new history of England being sought by the department for use in punlic schools of the province. Mr. Ferguson's announcement followed upon queries addressed to him by The Star with respect to the allegation in an article in a Toronto magazine that In one his- tory being used in some high in France the commis- and foreign af- with bay- but 19 words dealing with the part of Canada In the Great War, being written by an Amerjcan, 4 "I have not seen the article," he said, "but I know of no such book having been authorized. Of course there Is nothing to prevent a teacher taking any book into his class and saying, "Here is what so-and-so has to say about a cer- tain subject. "I am trying to recast the whoto system of teaching history in the province, I am trying to get a set of text books in the narrative style to get away from dull records of dates. When the new books now in prospect are out the situation should be better." With reference to the book com- plained of, officials of the Ontario department of education denied to The Star yesterday that the U.S. history--~West's "Modern Progress' ~is authorized for use in Oneario high schools. "The situation," sald an official of the department, "is that no his- tory is authorized for use in the up- per school. You see, there are so few #tudents in the upper school that it hardly makes the pub- lishing of a Canadian book profit- able, So none are authorized, If the United States book is used fit must be by action of the principal and the local school board. They have the right to choose as they like." ' The complaints in the magazine article are mostly directed at other provinces. Ontario is accused ons, of permitting the use of the "Mod- ern Progress" book, which, by the way, has a Canadian edition. "The number of students whe would be using that book in One. tario is jafinitesimal," said Prof. W. 8. Wallace, university librarian and author of the new Canadian history which is now in use in One tario public schools.
