FOR LONGER LIFE
LIVE IN NEW ZEALAND. DR. INGE'S ADVICE. London, June 8. Discussing the probability of long life, the Very Rev. W. R. Inge, D.D., writes:— "Some of our authorities think that 70 or even 75 may be reached, but I think myself that the New Zealand figures are about as good as we are likely to attain. In any case, .unless the birth-rate falls still further, which, of course, is possible, the scare of depopulation is not justified. "If we were making any effort to people up our Dominions I should, of course, be in favour of an increasing population. But we are not—Canada, with three inhabitants to the square mile, and Australia with two, are not likely to remain empty. If we do not develop them some aggressive nation will" step In. ... "If you want to live long where should you live? In New Zealand, by preference. Then come Australia, the Scandinavian countries, Holland. North America, and Great Britain."
