BRITISH EMPIRE
END PREDICTED. STATIONARY POPULATION. LONDON, Monday. The end of the British Empire is predicted by Commissioner David Lamb, of the Salvation Army, who, addressing the British Association for the Advancement of Science, cited Sir Josiah Stamp’s statement that a stationary population felt the impact of science more severely than a growing one. He added that science was partly responsible for the stationary or declining populations which were threatening the white races. This decline sounded the death-knell of the British Empire, which could not be held and developed in the face of the steadilyincreasing population pressure elsewhere.
MR. SAVAGE’S COMMENT.
WELLINGTON, Monday.
“When the nations of the world make it possible to rear families to a docent, standard of living it will be time enough to talk of more jmpulation,” said the Prime Minister, Rt. I-lon. M. J. Savage, when invited to comment on Commissioner Lamb’s remarks. “At present most people can’t afford to use the benefits of science; when the benefits of science are made available to all there will be no talk of small families.” —(P-A.)
