ITALIAN BIRTH POLICY.
Efforts by Italy and Germany to alleviate the financial burdens of largo families have not led to any noticeable increase in the birthrate, Dr. Kuczynski, a distinguished authority on population questions, told the Royal Sanitary Congress in London.
The Italian policy was inaugurated |in 192 G, when the annual births were 1.095.000. They have been less than 1,000,000 .every year since 1931, and were only 955.000 last year. Dr. Kuczynski expressed the view that appeals to married couples to rear children as »• national duty, and severe laws against alxortion and birth-con-trol were equally futile. The fight against population decline was handicapped by the absence of a dequate statistics, which were far more extensive and accurate in the Dominions.
