PXGE EIRTIT MEDFORD HXIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY. FEBRUARY 19, 1934. P E Professor Says Social, Not Economic Conditions In dicate Decrease Fer tility Long On Downtrend LONDON. (UP) Th population tit the world will cense to Increase and will begin to decline within ten years from now, and the decline may be aa much as two millions after the turn of the century. This startling prophecy was made by Prof. A. M. Carr-Saunders of uv- erpool university In a recent lecture. He said the population 01 tne iu ture would almost certainly be less than that which we were led to an ticipate by attending only to the In fluence of births and deaths. He based his conclusions on the trend of oclologlcal conditions. We do not know what view men will hold In the future about the desirable size of the family." he said. "All we can do Is to note bow men have been behaving in the Immedi ate past, to examine the reasons for their conduct, and to asK whetner Vie same motives are likely to Influ ence them in the future. "We find that fertility has been steadily declining for over half i . century and that It continues to de cline to this day. "There la no reason whatever to connect this decline with special economic conditions. It has been as well marked in young, sparsely pop ulated, agricultural countries over seas as In the old densely populated, urbanized countries of western Europe. "T,he evidence goes to show that the decline is a social phenomenon; it has spread over Just that group of countries which allow the same social habits whatever their econom ic conditions may be. The reasons for adopting the small family habit are many. "We have no grounds for expect ing an Increase In the size of the family In the near future. On the contrary. It does not seem that fer tility has yet reached its lowest point. "Let us suppose, however, that fer tility declines no further and sta bilises at Its present strength, then It is easy to show that In a few years the death rate, on the as sumptions made above, will rise, and will first equal and then exceed the birth rate, even If the average size of the family declines no further. - "The population, In other words, will cease to Increase and will begin to decline within ten years from now, and the decline may be as much as two millions after the turn of the century. "In deciding the size of their fami lies, men are guided by personal const derations, and not by the needs of .the community. These personal considerations are not at all selfish; parents may and do decide to limit their families because they know they. can do more for their children If they are few In number. . "But there can be no doubt that selfish motives predominate, and that children are very often not wanted because they consume time and money which married couples prefer to spend on themselves, whether in the pursuit of mere en joyment or of personal ambition. "At the moment, thlls form t selfishness Is not out of harmony with communal needs. But It may soon become so. Thon It may prove hard to eradicate a habit which haa become deep set, because, while It panders to selfishness, It did not appear to be antl-soclal when in the formative stage "Everyone," Professor Carr-Saunders concluded, "Is willing to applaud the father of the numerous family, but he prefers to remain less en cumbered himself." !
