(AP) Many English men bonst of their declining death rate and tho largo number of th- tr race' who live, in their slow und easy woy. to be 10 or JOO years old. Hut the new presid'-nl of the Insti tute of Sanitary Engineers, J. S. Alford. Is not one of them. In his first presidential uddi'ss. dlivi-rd, recently, no pui lorin ine opin ion that further considerable re duction In the death rule wph not only unlUiely, but undesirable. Tho trouble with most of tin ne old timers, Mr. Alford eeimd to think. Is that they keep on livim: but stop producing, thereby additr; to the national burden of the un productive. "There is obviously u limit lo th" weight we can carry in I hut re. spect," the speaker said. "Jf ' becomes too heavy th nation will go down before another which Ih not so encumbered, and which may be far less intelligent. I know many reasons why wo fdiould help a man to be useful, or happy, but I know none why wo should exert ourselves prolong hiu unproduc tive period." Mr. Alford then had somethiir; to sii y about equality of opportuni ty which may seem :itranc to Am ericans. He declared equality of opportunity was u good rule fur application to the young, but nut for men and women over twenty. It cnuiflla Inovlliiltlv in llnti ! i I V of unique achievement, he wild, and politic:il theories which do not r'-eo';niy.f this nro In conflict with Nature. "and Nature is bound to win lit the long run." "Discovery Is needed in edticn tlon, for instance, of how to select tho distinguished best and to glc the necessary basic Instrurtion to all, without ut tho same time pro ceeding to lengths which result In super-abundant gifts being confer red on those In whom they produce discontent rather than culture." The day Mr. Alford expressed lnu thoughts about old age and pro ductiveness, the press of Urltain wns .'rejoicing that the year 1 'J'l'A hud brought down tho death rate to 11.3 a thotind. the Imt-iMii. m year over known in th's country At IJournemout h. a healt h report, only a few deaths occurred during the -year, and 40 of them were ot persons beyond ;ui.
