Security Not In Numbers
President Quezon of the Philippine Commonwealth, desapprov ing birth control in the islands, predicts that when the common- wealth has acquired a population of 35,000,000 or 40,000,000 it will be secure against foreign attack.
The president does not express himself on the moral phase of the birth control issue. He refers only to the military considerations. His brophecy that increased population for the Philippines would insure the islands against conquest by a foreign power would be more impressive if Japan, a nation with about 80,000,000 people, were not at the moment overrunning ruthlessly and conquering China, a neighbouring nation with over 400,000,000 people
Possession of a great mass of population is not saving China from the depredations of a foe numerically not one fourth as strong. China is finding that more numbers count for ittle when op- posed by mechanized forces disciplined to the last degree in the science of warfare. If Chins had given as much attention to develop a military machine as Japan has in the last 10 or 15 years, Japan would never have dared to launch a hostile move against her.

If the Filipinos would lessen their risk of being conquered, and annexed by a predatory power after it relinquishes its ties with the United States, it must needs have not only a larger and more virile population, but it must follow the MacArthur plan of defense for the islands, which contemplates adequate armaments and military train- ing for a large proportion of the male section of the population.
The prospect the Filipinos are facing is not. a pleasant one but it is a condition and not a theory they are dealing with.
