Over the Nation
: France Comes Back
1 The vital statistics of tuitions are not of much interest
to Hiiyone except real statesmen and members of the medi
cal j profession. However, if the 'showing by one great
nation attracts world attention 'more than another it is
liin't of France. Because so much of the heavy fighting:
in the Great War was on French soil, and her losses were
toportioniilely larger thiln any other nation, the vital sta
tistics of France have received increased attention since
the armistice.
'Jt is gratifying; to the well wishers of the gallant re
public to learn from a report of the- French minister of
lubor that in 1923 France made progress in, the right direc
tion. The outstanding feature is the death rate, which was
at 17 per thousand , last year, the lowest ever recorded in
that country. The total decrease was. 27,000 compared
with -the previous year. .In the matter of living births
there was an increase of 2,000 although marriages de
creased by 27,000 as compared with,1922.
In 1913 the population of France was 41,186,272, against
3!),209,r18 at tho close of 1923. The largest number of
marriages in -any year since the war was 623,8(59 in 1920,
.i;nd the smallest 356,501 in 1923. Possibly tho explana
tion for this wide difference mav be found in the fictitious
prosiiyi4) jfhcj) Ji'jiiinCft.onjAyod in tho. farmer .year .when
t.hc was in" the midst of her rehabilitation activities, based
upon high expectations of receiving reparations from Ger
many,' while the falling- off last year may Have been based
upon ' a conviction that payment for war losses will be
siow, if ever, and tho country has had to face increased
taxation which tended to raise the cost of living.
Another interesting point in connection with statistics
just' made public is he revelation of the increase in immi
gration counting only manual laborers) that has occurred
in France Bince the war. In 1921 1,500,000 entered the
country-and last year the total exceeded 2,000,000. ' This
movement surpasses any ever experienced by the United
States. The largest number in our history was 1,285,349
in 1907, the year which marked the climax in a periodical
business boom. The second largest annual immigration
to Tthe United States was 1.20S.480 in 1914, .from which
total, there was a drop to 110,818 in 1918. It is not im
probable, now that the .rehabilitation boom has completely
subsided and financial difficulties have arisen over cur
tency inflation, that an exodus of common laborers from
France will occur this year, and possibly that country will
be "con fronted with a problem similar to that which has
occurred in the United States', resulting in a , revision in
immigration laws, which went into effect this month.
, Let's Get to Business Now
:. National conventions have boon hold. Those who had
contemplated a possibility of u change in administration
at Washington now think differently and the fijht be
tween the two old political parties starts so Unevenly that
Coolidies election is assui ed ami business can proceed
without tho long wait until altor March 4th.
We believe all sides are rather pleased at this phase
cflhc matter. Had the Democratic party avoided the re
ligious issno and nominated McAdoo the campaiK" mijfht
hai'e become an active one.
.'The powder was spent at the convention and cannot be
sht aain. Senator Davis, the nominee, is a fine man,
air able man, but no man in all the nation could accept
th nomination after such n row with any hope of success.
As for the vice presidential nomination, no comment
is f necessary. Covernor llryan is not national size and
apparently was placed on the ticket only to appear.e his
brother, William J. Jlryan, whose political influence has
loiio; since subsided.
i Rut why review the late unpleasantness? Is it not
silficient to repeat atfiiin and realize that Calvin Coolido
v0l be the next president regardless of what any indi
vidual may think of him or his party. And this being
trijo, let's settle down to active business and try and pull
thy nation out of the depressed business condition which
j-iJjHMirs in several spots.
j"A circular movement is noticed in tho flounces of new
frtjeks." Probably accounts for the fact that some of the
lalfor gowns seem to make us dizzy.
