THE
WHAT IS CHINA'S POPULATION?
3
Statisticians Disagree in Tokyo.
A SHARP CONTROVERSY.
What is the population of China?
This question led to a sharp con- troversy at the sessions of the International Institute of Statistics held in Tokyo.
"
Professor W. F. Wilcox, öf Cornell, the chief American dele- | gate, said he believed the population of the big Asiatic Republic to be 342,000,000. Mr. D. K. Lleu and Mr. Warren Chen, the Chinese dele- gates, took objection to that figuro and declared that it was in the re gion of 445,000,000..
Dr. Wilcox, in his paper, said his earlier inquiries into the figures which the 1910-11 census in Chian had yielded had, at the time, con- vinced him that the population of Chinn then was about 205,000,000. Later studies, conducted since 1928,
had modified these figures in an upward direction.
He pointed out in his paper that two other oktimates, also accorded a considerable amount of credence in Europe and the United States, came fairly close to the estimate he had made, -
The first was that compiled in Europe in 1901, which placed the population of China then at 330,- 000,000. The other was the work of the China Continuation Commit- tee, which set China's population at 411,000,000.
In the introduction to its "report, the committce stated that it really helieved that its estimate wB9 wrong, in spite of the vast amount of time and labour expended upon it. and that it would set down the actual population of China at be tween 350,000,000 and 400,000,000.
Chinese Criticism.
No sooner had Professor Wilcox. sat down than Mr. Lieu stood up to speak. The Chairman, however, wanted speakers to talk in French and, as Mr. Lieu did not know French, he made way for Mr. Chen.
Commenting on Professor Wilcox's paper, Mr. Chen said his analysis of the 1910 census showed that the re- turns for two provinces were sadly incomplete. Accordingly he had ad. justed them and had arrived at a total for 1910 of 380,000,000,
Since a fairly recent census, at- tempted by the Nanking Govern- ment, showed that there had been gains of 7.8 per cent. över. 1910 in eight provinces, Mr. Chen said he had assumed that a similar rate of increase had obtained throughout the country and therefore, his estimate of the present, population entire
