GREYBEARD BRITAIN'S
Speaking at a conference of the Rotary International Association in Britain, Dr. J. J. Mallon said that the element ot youth is a declining one in Britain's population. "We shall in another 40 years," he said, "reach a situation the reverse of!the Japanese. In prolific Japan, the land of ancestor worship, the old men have enormous numbers of descendants on whom they can rely for maintenance in old age. In Britain it will be the old fellows who will be numerous and the children few."
