FRENCH POPULATION DECREASE SINCE 1939 Rugby, March 14. The rate at which the French popu- ■ lation was decreasing was commented j upon by Mr. B. S. Townroe, speak- ; ing at .Reading Universtiy on behalf j of Lort J Derby, to the United Associa- , tions of Great Britain-and France. He said that during 1940 there were 735,000 civilian deaths, and that at least 100,000 members of the French j forces were killed. The infant mor- ■ tality rate increased from 65 per 1000 I in 1939 to 91 in 1940. The decrease in ! the population of France, including 2 all 4 eaths 'from enemy action, was j marked in 1940. and even more acute | last year. In 1941 the birth rate showed a decrease of some 40 per . cent., and there was an increase last year of 43 per cent, of deaths among 1 persons over 60 years of age.—B.O.W.
