-Wliiit Bhall we then say lo
t, Who can be ugalnut us?
If headlines were to be taken literally we don't believe
even the most muscular candidate could carry a state, with
the possible exception of Rhode Island.
They say the very slightest sound in a talking movie
studio is recorded and that the average girl, tearing the
waxed paper off .av caramel, sounds like the Second Battle
of Verdun. ' K.: 5 - . .
t live issues
. President Hoover is convinced that the worst of the great
economic strain, or depression, is over. But he does not
wait for prosperity to be fully restored to find ways and
means of preventing another of those periodic set-backs in
business.
! His salient recommendations arc for a commission of all
business and allied .interests to seek ways of achieving greater
stability in the future, for steps to provide readier financing
r of home builders and Jor a study of the bearing of interest
rates upon speculation and stable products.
These proposals are sound and practical, but it is to be
hoped that they will accomplish more than resulted from
the unemployment conference in 1922, which did not even
arrange for the facts on working conditions now so urgently
required. .
Had the government and congress immediately carried
out the proposals of the conference of 1022 the collapse of
1929 might have been averted. But if reco.vcit'ns
speedily this year it is a safe bet that the hole in the barn
roof will be left unrepaired until the next rain.
Hard times are. a dead issue when prosperity prevails,
and congress and public executives must have live, issues.
. YOU GUESS WHAT IT'LL BE
From 191Q (o 1920 the population of the United States
increased approxinuitely 15 per cent. If population should
, continue to increase 15 per cent in each decade, in 1975 we
' should bo a nation of some 228,000,000 people. But, ac
cording to a study made by the Scripps Foundation, Miami
university, our population in that year will be only 175,
; 000,000.
That our rate of growth is becoming slower was demon-
strated by the fact that the increase dropped front 21 per
cent in the decade 1900-1910 to 15 per cent in the following
i decade. That it will probably continue to decrease seems
evident if we consider but two factors the diminishing
; birth-vate and thcilimits placed on immigration.
In 1852 a renwrkable prediction of future population was
made by Francis Bonyngc. His estimate for the year 1900
was only out by 2.2 per cent, and for 1910 by 5.3 per cent.
' But for later, decades his figures begin to grow fantastic.
He was in error by M per cent for 1920, and for the year
2000 he predicted a census of 703,000,0(10 a number which
todav seems ridiculous. But it must be remembered that
Uonynge could not possibly foresee a change in his factors
which only recently has come about. The wonder is that
his estimate remained valid as long as it did.
The Scripps Foundation's estimate is based, of course, on
known factors; but they are factors which are fairly re
liable. Bonyngc could not foresee the Civil war, or the open
ing to settlement of a vast district which, when he made his
forecast, appeared on the map as the Great American Desert.
. Nor can we of today foresee wars, pestilence, and the
changes which invention May bring.
Prediction is an interesting game, but an uncertain one.
