NEW BRITAIN -DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1930. SWEDEN WORRYING OVER BIRTH RATE Press Unleashes Campaign Against Gontraception Stockholm, Qct. 17 (UP)—"Happy Sweden” may be said to have less sorrows than most other countries. The country enjoys health and pros- perity and has few, if any, political adversaries. Yet there is one prob- lem which in these weeks is discus- sed with a certain amount of pas- sion in the press and wherever po- | litically-minded Swedes meet — the | nativity question, which is thus on the point of developing into a na- tion concern. The fact is that nativity returns for the past year were the lowest ever registered in this country and are claimed to constitute a down- | ward record internationally. In all Sweden the population increase by 14,890 inhabitants during 1929, as against 29,815 as late as 1921 and 17,267 in 1928, In Stockholm, deaths even exceeded births by a number of 876. It is pointed out in this connection that this low level of the birth-rate was reached in the very year which showed the highest figures ever recorded ‘n this city as regards the conclusion of marriages, the inference thus being that birth-control is being practised to an ever increasing extent. A large part of the press has now unleashed an energetic cam- paign against birth-control teden- cies, asserting that a continuation of the present birth policy eventual- ly would result in the decline and ruin of the Swedish race. Sweden, 1t is argued, has space enough for & much larger population than her present 6,000,000 people. If Sweden, therefore, wants to hold her own and avoid being inundated by a flow of foreign immigration, the popula- tion must endeavor to fill with their own oft-spring the large areas which as yet allow of further col- onization in this country. No official action has hitherto been taken in the matter but it cannot be questioned that the prob- lem h by the press campaign. been introduced into the domain of actual politics and from now on will constitute one of the hardest- cracked nuts Swedish sociolo- and “politicians, for a number of years.

LOANS ON TiME It is as businesslike to buy money on time as it —_ Rabbis Must Check Up Religious Wine Issue New York, Oct. 17 () — The New York World today quotes Andrew McCampbell, prohibition administrator in New York, as saying new regulations will be. come effective within the next few weeks requiring rabbis to obtain federal prescription permits in dispensing sacramental wine. Rabbis at present personally dispense the wines to members of their” congregations. Under the proposed plan they will be supplied with books of prescrip- tion blanks, similar to those is- sued to physicians, and a check on the wine issues will be made by officials of the permit bureau. The number of prescriptions each rabbi receives will depend upon the size of his congregation. The prescriptions will be filled at bonde wine dispensing places. It was explained that by the new regulations the government hopes to curb bootlegging in sac- ramental wines by unlicensed dealers. Reviews of Current Theater Offerings HOLLAND" R.

Psychologically powerful, “The Man Holland,” prefents a dramatic idea with staggering force and un- folds its plot without deviation. Each of its principal players is given work to do and the company pre- sents that work effectively. That this was appreciated by the audience is indicated Dby the four curtain calls which followed the closing act. Despite a few situations with a tendency to lag the plot of the play is such that it captivates the imag- ination and affords ample cause for speculation on the possibility of the author's thesis. Transference of a noble soul into an ignoble body so as to transform it seems much less im- probable after witnessing this play. Marvin and Saul Holland, broth- ers, are the antithesis of each other, The younger and weaker brother in an almost maniacal frenzy strives to impart his spirit te the stronger, insensitive brother for whom he has a love bordering on an obsession. When the play opens the mother is dying, the elder brother is brought home from prison to see her Just as she passes on. It is while awaiting his arrival that the younger broth- er and the wie of the elder engage in conversation and reveal the as- tounding plot of the play. The younger, almost on the verge of rashness, affirms his beliet that he will be able to some day make of his brother the man his wife held him to be. Prescience enabfs the younger brother, even while outlining his plans for the making over of the elder, to realize that the convict in- | f§ tends to escape from his guard and return to his life of crime. When the | burglar's gang starts out on a new venture the weaker brother follows and is arrested after his brother has shot a man. The drama becomes tense when the elder tries vainly to convince the authorities that he and not his brother is guilty of murder. The climax is reached when the younger, sentenced to dic | c chair, shows his hap- | in the electr! piness in fulfilling the destiny he had chosen for himsclf—that of com- pleting his brother's life. The cur- tain falls as the soul of the younger passes into the body of the brother he had loved so well.
