BABIES' DEATH RATE
VITALITY OF INFANT "HERRENVOLK" IS NOT IMPRESSIVE The death rate of German babies last year was still much higher than the infant mortality rate in England, comparing the figures: for 126 English large towns with German towns having a population of over 100,000. The latter statistics, from the Reich's Journal of Public Health, which have now become available, give an infantile mortality rate during 1940 of 63 per 1000 as against the English rate of 51. The Ger«man rate is the highest for the last four years, for each of which it has been at least 10 per 1000 higher than the English rate. In no one year since the Nazis bluffed their way to power has the number of the "Herrenvolk's" surviving infants approached the English total.'
