Population May Need Adjust- ment As if American cities did not al- ready have enough problems, a de- clining birth rate is about to present them with an entirely new one. E. O. Baker, specialist attached to the department of agriculture, warns the American Country Life associa- tion that the American birth rate has already fallen so low that the na- tional population cannot be main- tained permanently, Nothing can keep our cities at their present size, he says, but a@ heavy migration from farm to city, and that will do the trick only for a few more decades—at the cost, inci- dentally, of a drained and impover- ished countryside. Sometimes one is forced to suspect that the race has managed to reach an end of a whole biological era. Dur- ing the last two centuries, there has been a tremendous expansion of world population. The rising curve mow seems to be leveling off. If national populations, including our own, are not to increase any more, or are even to diminish, some pro- found readjustments will presently be in order. Let Out to Shoot—Quail! A great deal of the complaint about “coddling prisoners” is stupid and| prejudiced. However, the state of Oklahoma has just provided an ex- cellent example of the sort of cod- dling that is really worth beefing about, by releasing Matt Kimes, no- torious bandit and killer, for a six- @ay quail hunt. Kimes was ordered released with- out @ guard. His attorney said that authorization for ‘the release came from Governor Murray, who, he said, felt that Kimes was entitled to a . Meave of absence because of his ex- cellent conduct while in the peniten- tiary. It is gratifying, of course, to know that a desperado has been behaving himself well while in prison. Still, it is a little bit hard to see just why this entitles him to a vacation. It is worth remembering that this gentle- man’s good behavior, so far, seems to have been confined to one spot—the interior of the penitentiary. For the Peace of the World Vice Premier Stanley Baldwin of England tells a Glasgow audience that Great Britain's fleet will never be used in the armed blockade of any country on earth until the gov- ernment has first consulted the ‘United States government. Simul- taneously, Secretary of State Cordell Hull of the United States forecasts close, friendly and active cooperation between this country and England in matters of future naval policy. From these statements it is reason- able to assume that leading men in both governments are coming more ‘and more to the belief that the two great English-speaking nations will stand more or less shoulder to shoul- der in international affairs hence- forth; and the augury is a good one. A decade ago the two countries seemed to be drifting into a condition of mutual hostility—which would have been @ tremendous tragedy. ‘When all is said and done, there are overwhelming reasons for coopera- tion. If America and England are to stand together, the peace of the world should be measurably safer.

The first question to be asked is, j this?” The figures have not yet beef broken down and analyzed; but at played an important part in the in- crease. There has, for instance, been @ gain of nearly 24 per cent in the number of intoxicated drivers in- volved in accidents. Indications are that repeal has made our traffic problem considerably more difficult. U.S. in Antarctica The United States seems to have received title, or something rese- bling it, to a'considerable quantity of new land. Admiral Byrd, having ex- plored a large stretch of hitherto undiscovered land in the Antarctic, claims it for the United States in the traditional manner. . All in all, now, this country has a more or less valid claim to some 200,- South Pole. To be sure, there is precious little to show that this land is ever going to be worth anything to us. Even if the frozen soil should be found to be rich in mineral wealth, for in- stance, Antarctica is a mortally cold sort of place that might easily resist development to the end of time. Still, with the world almost com- Pletely mapped and surveyed, it is somehow thrilling to be able to claini new territories in the time-honored way—by right of discovery. Farm Program Shows Up Well The financial angle of the farm Program is interesting. Newest fig- ures released in Washington show that farmers participating in crop adjustment programs have re- ceived, to date, slightly more than $507,000,000 in cash benefits. This, however, has cost the treasury noth- ing, the .processing taxes having taken in $558,000,000. an important contribution to farm income. But the AAA program must ultimately stand or fall on its success in increasing the farmer's income in- directly, by raising the prices of the things he sells, rather than by its direct payments; and in this field, too, the record is not half bad. Farm income for the current year is estimated at $6,000,000,000, which is about 19 per cent above the 1933 total and some 39 per cent above the’ total: for 1932, In other words, the program is costing the treasury nothing, and it is slowly succeeding in raising farm prices, Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors, They are published without regard ‘These payments in themselves are e PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE By William Brady, M.

In the Louisiana case the difficulty seems to be that no member of the faculty has made the slightest pro- test against the infringement on aca- demic freedom under the direction of Huey Long. The president, the gov- erning board, and the faculty mem- bers seem willing to salute and cry, “Hi ya, Hitler.” The protest comes from the students, although they j might have been regarded as sub- | Sidized in Huey’s interest.

G. O. P. Story in a Sigh, a Moan, And a Few Words... F. R. Puts Smart One Across in Roche Ap- pointment. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Dec. 5. — The New Deal’s legal stars are more confident now about New Deal test cases before the supreme court. partment of Justice. For weeks, the D. J. took one of the worst pannings ever handed a government department. Most of the emegency agency lawyers served as infantry men in the screen- ed attack, but the hidden Big Ber- thas were certain supreme court jus- tices who made their views known to the White House. ‘The targets included Attorney Gen- eral Homer Cummings. Solicitor General J..Crawford Biggs, much of their staff, and the group of politi- clans and lobbyists commonly believed to be closely associated with the D. J. How, the New Deal attorneys de- manded, could the government hope to win with old Mr. Biggs presenting its cases and the D. J. generally main- taining what seemed to them an atti- tude of non-cooperation? So a compromise has been effected in the best Roosevelt manner. De- mands of the more bitter critics that Cummings and Biggs be replaced are being ignored—for the present. But Biggs won't be presenting any important New Deal test cases to the supreme bench.
