The Individualism of the French man and French woman, who do not want to have children unless they are in an economic situation to give their offspring every possible advantage In life, of course, is nt the 'bottom of France’» decreasing population. The economic aggrava tions of the post-war period natur ally have intensified this attitude. But, on the other hand, there Is the deep-seated fenr on the part of French Government authorities and French thinkers that the steadily falling population hooner or later “will result In France herself tumbl ing from the place she now holds ns a great World Power, In a gradual decaying of 'France’s prestige In all the human cultures, lacking the resources constantly to he building to her power In these respects.
