Germany's Minister .of
Defense Scoffs at All
Fears Told by French
By O. PAUL JACOB
Associated Press Staff Writer
BERLIN-(AP) I&eas voiced
by French deputies about the
tormidableness of the German ar
my fill Gfeneral Wilhelm Groener,
minister of defense, with surprise.
He said he could not suppress a
smile when he read about the
"fears" expressed in all serious
ness in the French chamber of the
menace supposed to proceed from
east of the Rhine.
"Germany," he said, "is the on
ly nation, in the whole world that
has c'isarmed to the limit."
Witb equal emphasis General
Groener stoutly denied the French
contention that the small army
left to Germany is of a pronoun
cedly offensive character.
To represent the German
Reichswehr, without modern ma
chine armaments, without air
forces, or tanks, or heavy artil
lery, or reserves," or ammunition
stores, as an offensive body
against "a nation veritably in
arms like France, profusely
equipped with all the most mod
ern innovations for warfare" Gen
eral Groener considered indica
tive either, "of malignant Intent
or an utter lack of military judg
ment." The argument of the French

efficient mobilization represented
the most' formidable menace, the
general countered with the query
wny then certain nations, pre
eminently Franc were so strong
ly . opposed to having their re
serve war material included In
the agenda of the disarmament
conference at Geneva. He insisted
that the twenty divisions of the
French armee de couverturee,
"despite this cleverly chosen de
signation," can be just as quick
ly mobilized as the seven divi
sions of the Reichswehr.
It was incomprehensible to the
minister of defense how the opin
ion could arise In France that the
German army of defeense was
not 100,000 but 200,000 strong
ana capable of being expanded to
400,000 men at short notice.
"I am sure that every company
augmented beyond its prescribed
strength would have evoked a
storm of indignation in France,"
he said. "We have no reserves,
and the police force is neither or
ganized nor utilizable as a mili
tary body."
In Tegard to' the accusation
that Germany was making a spe
cialty of chemical warfare, the
minister admitted that military
circles were constantly trying to,
finu' a means of defense against
gas attacks. But this was due to
the fact that despite internation
al interdictions on chemical war
fare all foreign sowers had In
cluded gas in their schedule of
armaments.
Germany, he said, had strictly
lived up to the treaty of Ver
sailles and sun's no preparations
for carrying on this mode of warfare.

Alarm Felt Among Teutonic
People at Falling Off
In Population
By JOHX A. BOUMAN
(AMocfeited Prese Staff Writer)
BERLIN (AP) The" specter
of the Fatherland within meas
urable time becoming overrun by
the more fertile Slav races is
forever present in the minds of
German sociologists. To them the
serious decline in the nation's
birth rate is a source of grave
concern.
'.Germany's population within 10
years, according to statistics, has
risen by four millions, or 7.S per
cent; but in experts' opinion this
is due t o increased longevity
rather than to natal accretion.
Earnest propaganda for a re
turn to the well-filled nurseries
of the past is made by the Reichs
Federation of large families
which has Just celebrated the
first decade of its existence.
Founded by sociologists of
Frankfurt in 1919 with a view to
repairing the world war wastage
of human material, the federation
now has on its rolls about 500,
000 members in 850 branches.
Qualified for membership are
families with at least four, or wi
dows with at least three child
ren. Max DIx, a former army gen
eral who is business chief of the
movement, said the organization
is based on broad Christian prin
ciples and the biblical exhortation
to "Increase and multiply." Polit
ically and religiously it is wholly
neutral. All who believe that the
family is the only sure founda
tion of a civilized state are reck
oned as potential supporters.
According to statistics already
quoted, Germany has 'an annual
excess of 400,000 births over
deaths, but the generation now
growing up stilK belongs to the
high birth rate period before the
war.
When they begin to mate, say
between 1935 and 1945. and the
modern one or two children sys
tem remains in popular favor,
there will not only be a halt, but
an actual loss of half a million
population per annum, and

1945 it will have sunk below the
50,000,000 mark.
Berlin is today the poorest in
children of all European capitals.
The Federation points out that
there are 240,000 dogs In Berlin,
but only 200,000 children.
Cupid is busier than ever.
The marriage rate is more than
nine per thousand, the highest
since the hectic years immediate
ly following the war; but babies
are fewer, and there is medical
authoYlty for the statement that
50 per cent of present-day Ger
man married couples are deter
mined to be childless.
A sinister aspect of the whole
question is that 600,000 babies
are not born annually but ought
to be.
It is recognized that the French
system of assisting: prolific par
ents is far more liberal than the
German, and the consensus is
that not nearly enough is done
here for the man who "hath his
quiver full."
"So long as seven billion marks
three times the reparation bur
dens are spent every year in
Germany on drink and tobacco,
no one should. say. that nothing
ies," the leaders of the movement
state.
The German birth rate for 1928
was 18.8 a thousand. In 1920 It
by stood at 25.9.
CHINESE JUDGE IS

SHANGHAI (AP) The provi

abolishing extra-territorial rights
in China, has a new president, the
fourth In two years.
Dr. Showin Wetzen Hsu, who
has succeeded to the post, is
scarcely envied by his confreres
of the bench and bar. His immed

Wu, was constantly under fire
from both Chinese and foreign
quarters and those who went be

criticisms.
Dr. Wu resigned to lecture on
Chinese Jurisprudence at North

is a big deficit In spite of the
crowded houses recorded fn both.
The affair did not come to ai
actual strike, bnt actors, soloists,
chorus singers and ballet dancert
made no bones about voicing
their demands.
There are approximately 900
persons engaged at the two thea

few hundred Austrian shillings,
which may be calculated at about
seven to the American dollar, up
to a thousand dollars or there
