AMERICA IS FACING A BABY SLUMP.
The population of the United States will begin to fall within fifteen years, according to an American economist, and he predicts grave consequences unless more babies are born.
Empty cradles now mean too many old people later on, says the expert, and this state of affairs may be reached before the nation realises it. The American birth rate has declined over 25 per cent, in the last ten years. By 1945 the United States will reach the peak of population, and then it will steadily drop. The same problem confronts every country to-day.
