The new birth-rate booklet issued by Himmler; the Gestapo chief, which, as disclosed recently, sets the standard for all patriotic German families at four to six children, is further evidence that the German birth-rate has been failing ever since Hitler came to power.

*
While the birth-rate always tends to fall in a war, that effect has been much less noticeable in Britain,
The rate for England and Wales for the 12 months ended Septem- ber 30, 1940, was 14.6 per 1,000. This was higher than in 1933, when the rate was 14.4. No figures. are available of the German birth rate since the war The most recently published statistics were 18.2 for Germany and 13.7 for Austria.
