SURPLUS WHITES PARIS (UP) Africa cannot sup port many mors whites than are there now, for most of the African continent does not favor white colo nisation, according to French statis ticians. With a few figures, these statis ticians prove that the climate and geographlo conditions of the "dark" continent are hostile to white men and that therefore the arguments ad vanced by Italy and Germany for ter ritory in Africa as an outlet for re lieving the over-populated conditions at home are fallacious ones. All of Africa, after a century of colonization, only contains a total white population of about 3.530.000. Although northern Africa bordering the Mediterranean has been known and colonized by whites for centuries, a really concentrated colonial move ment Is relatively modern, dating back approximately half a century. It Is pointed out by statisticians that It Isn't lack of space In Africa or, overpopulation by native peoples that has hindered white migration for this continent, which covers about 11.000,000 square mites, sup ports a total population of 180,000. 000, which hardly compares with congested Europe, one-third Its size 3.750.000 square miles with a popu lation four times as much, or about 650,000,000. The contention that moat of the area of the second largest continent In the world Is not favorable to white settlement is borne out by the fact thot 00 percent of the white Inhabi tants are concentrated In the tem perate northern and southern ex tremities. The Union of South Africa has the greatest proportion of whites, with 3.000.000, while French North Africa, comprising Algiers, Morocco and Tunis, has 1,200.000, Viie remainder of Africa supports the remaining 35C.0O0 whites. Divided by national possesatoni. Great Britain leads with 2,154,000 whites In her colonies. France Is sec ond with 1.240,000. Portugal third with 85,000, Italy fourth with M.000. and Belgium last with 9(1.000. Germany, which was considered one of the greatest of colonizers be fore the World war, in 1011, after 35 years In colonization, only succeeded In amassing 15,800 white subjects In all her African colonies. Italy, with her three African pos sessions Lybla, Eritrea and Somali land, with a total area of nearly 000.000 square mllea only has a co lonial population of 56,000. Of this total, only 4.100 are located In Eri trea. 3050 of whom are settled In the capital town of Asmara. Lybla, except for the stretch along th coast, is an uninhabited desert. Most of Somaliland Is a lowland reeking with disease, while only the north of Eritrea can support any kind of a population. Although there still remain certain sections of Africa which have not yet been explored or seen by white men snd are still left uncolored on maps, It is generally agreed by most scien tists that Africa could not furnish healthy subsistence to many more whites than are there now. They be lieve that the saturation point has almost been reached. The conquest of Ethiopia by Italy and restoration to Germany of the colonies which were taken from her aftflr the war would not start a flow of Italian and German lmmlgroats to Africa, say these scientist, and the manner of relieving the congestion of the Italian peninsula and the Ger man nation would still remain nn- ; solved. I llown North ?apt. Lee Bown. head of the state police in southern Ore gon, left the early part of the week on a business trip north, stopping en route In Grants Pass. GET LIFE START BY STATE LOANS PARIS (UP) The City of Part spent more than 94,000,000 In 1835 caring for orphans, children aban doned by their parents and those re moved from their families by the courts. There were 30,579 children under the direction of the Assistance Publlque. These figures were revealed In tnc report presented to the general coun sel of the department of the Seine, which Is Greater Paris. During the year, the report stated. 1,400 children were bandoned by their parents, and another 300 ruled by the courts to have been "morally aban doned" by their famines, were taken away from them and placed in puo Ho Institutions. The mortality rate In these Insti tutions was reported to havo been e tremely low, and the results of plac ing children in the country highly satisfactory. All abandoned children In the de partment of the Seine are sent to the departmental orphanage, except for babies under four months, who go a special Institution from which they are placed with families which con sent to nurse and bring them up to the age of 13 In the provinces, for which they receive payment from the government, After 13, the children are divided into two groups those who show special aptitudes, who are placed in technical or trade schools, and those who are found places as farm helpers. domestic employes, and so forth, in the latter case, in addition to suppoit, the employer of the stave ward pays 60 to 300 yearly for the child's work, which Is turned over to the Assistance Publlque, which banks It In the child's name until his majority when It is given to him as a neat egg to help him establish his own home. For children sent to agricultural schools, the department tried the ex periment of creating "loans of hoa- which enabled 427 graduates of agricultural schools to set up homes and get a start In life during the year. Wards of the Assistance Publlque are not abandoned at their majority. The organization regularly grants loans to enable Its charges 'of both sexes to marry, and gives aid In cater nf need, if the circumstances make It appear that help Is deserved. The report touched on a darker side of the problem of caring for homeless children when It advocated the organization of a medico -pedagogic institute to take care of way ward, abnormal and Incorrigible chil dren. Instead of sending them to re form schools, against which much criticism has been leveled recently. Recently a newspaper woman was reminded that there Is a law against reporting the proceedings of the chil dren's court, but told that she would be permitted to continue to attend If she would restrict her comment to such points as the need for better quarters for the court Instead of in dulging In sociological criticism. Ihe reporter's accounts of proceedings In the Juvenile court, in which the spirit of the law was maintained by citing no names, apparently had aroused ju dicial anger because of some of oer articles describing the minute faults for which children are sometimes sent to reform schools such crimes as tak ing five francs from the family pock- etbook, for Instance, for which a small boy was sent to reform school until his majority. The chief criticism leveled against this system is that It mingles young children who are sometimes sent Co the institution only because there is no one to take care of them, and it seema a simple way of disposing of their casos. and youths well along In their teens.
