WARMAYSAVE | CHINESE NATION, EXPERT CLANS

— | Population Will Double in| 65 Years Unless Checked | By Violence, Belief.

Fy Recience Service { PARIS, July 30.—A war in China might be China's salvation, Dr. Frank W. Notestein, American student of population from Princeton

University, told the International Congress on Population meeting here this week. China is growing so fast that if violence does not check her numbers, the population will probably double in less than 65 years. “China cannot stand such growth.” said Dr. Notestein. - “If it is not stopped by war and other violence, it will be by famine and disease. Here, at least, the Malthusian checks are a grim reality.” China, known to the world as a nation of antiquity, is today a nation of youth, Dr. Notestein said. Old age is venerated in the Oriental countries, but men and women do not live to grow old there as they do in other parts of the world. In New Zealand, half the popuiation live to reach the biblical standard of lifetime—three score years and ten. In China half of those coming into the world die before they reach the age of 28 years.

Contrasts With U. S.

In the United States, 90 of each hundred babies born live to celebrate their 10th birthdays. In China, 40 per cent die before they | reach the age of 10. An American baby coming into the world may | be expected to live to the age of | 59 to 63. But the Chinese infant can hope only for a life of 35 years. Yet despite this terrific mortality | in childhood and early youth, | China's peoples are not being wiped out. No one knows just how many | people live in that vast nation. Various estimates of the total population range from about 350 mil- | lion to more than 550 million, Dr. Notestein told the congress. Marriage comes early with the | Chinese. The family is as large] as the farm can support. “Virtually every one marries as | soon as possible,” said Dr. Notestein. | “After age 30, the bachelor is rare | and the spinster virtually nonexist- | ent. Monogamy is the rule.” The average bride in China is a| girl of 18, her groom is only 20. Contrast this with the average in| New York State where the bride is | 25 and the groom 29.

First Marriage Earlier |

At the time of the first marriage, |

the age is still lower. More than | half the boys taking their first wives are under 20 and in North China 12 | per cent are under 15. Of the] brides on their first trip into matri- | mony, practically all (98 per cent) | are under 25, 81 per cent under 20 and in North China 13 per cent are |

Birth rates in China where practically everybody is married ‘are just about double what they are in the United States, 38.3 per 1000 population as against 189 in the United States. The rate is also higher when computed on* the basis of the number of married women of child-bearing age; 131 per 1000 in the United States against 207] in China. This picture of birth and death in China is an optimistic one, Dr.

Living Standard Low

“If, by some magi~, it suddenly became possible to eliminate the mortality from ‘preventable causes’ of death, sober students might long before utilizing tha? power,” said Dr. Notes“ein. “Observers are unanimous in the belief that the population of China is already redundant and that, with existing productive capacities, a| large increase in the population can only take place at the expense of a serious decline in the standard of living which is already pitifully low. Hunger would accomplish | what disease was prevented from
