BIRTH CONTROL
SUBJECT FOR WORLD POPULATION CONFERENCE. (Received 22, 11.40 a.m.) Geneva, Aug. 21. Birth control will be an important subject at the World's Population Conference opening on August 31. Sir Bernard Mallet, formerly Regis-trar-General for England, will probably preside, and some of the most brilliant scientists in Europe will be attending.
The conference will give special attention to the danger to world population from feeding. Economic expansion statistics will be submitted showing that within three centuries the world’s population will exceed eight thousand millions, which is the maximum the earth's surface can support. Comparisons of the nations’ birth rates will he considered from every angle, including the rapid growth of Japan, where, despite 300,000 deaths, last year’s population showed a nett increase of 500,000.— (A. and N.Z.)
