China Plans To Take DUM DELLS
Proper Census-When
Civil War Is Over
BY THOMAS ALDEGUER
After having had to be satisfied with only "rough estimatos" of her population for more than 175 years, China has decided to conduct the first nation-wide consus in bor. modern history and, as the initial stop, has promulgated “a
now consus law.
Officially no date has yet been set for this, census, which will include overseas Chinese, as well as Chinese diplomatic and consular personnel abroad, but unofficially it is learned that it will take place some time in 1960-- provided the civil war ja over then and the country unified.
Huns Still Believe They Won
Many millions of Germans still fervently nvow that the German Army nover has been beaten. The myth of the army's | invincibility-regardless of two. world wars-flourishes as per- sistently in cities smashed to rubble by enemy air power as in villages where not a shot was heard, reports Associated Press.

Since then thero have been only "rough estimates" of the nation's population based on Post Office and Chineso Customs statistics, which have ranged from 323,000,000 to 547,000,000. Under, the new law a census will be taken every 10 years, while fines are provided for any person refusing to answer questions essential to the Census-taking or refusing registra- tion or false registration.

Even among 5,000 boy scouts in the U.S. occupation zone, a survey of informal comment showed the German army to be the only thing In their past experience which was shielded from any criticism.

An officer in American counter- Intelligence put it this way:
"It's absurd to claim to have started to demilitarise the German spirit as long as this faith in the army is absolutely unshaken.
"The children get inoculated vlr- tually before they're out. of the cradle. Whether they were useless old Vollessturmers or husky young let out from a prison cage, the millions of former soldiers keep their families propagandised en how good the army was.

"The army, according to Fritz Q. Public, won the battles. It was somebody else who lost the war"
Typical Comments
In January this year, the Govern- ment estimated the country's po- pulation at 456,000,000. In making this public the Government made it clear that the figure could not be considered accurate and at best estimate" pending a could be regarded as only a "rough nation-wide census.

Youth and experience have been blended by the selectors of the teams for the International water

Observers express the opinion. Sutton (Plaistow), R. Garforth that the figure of 450,000,000 is too gh, and that a census taken by Western methods would yield much smaller total.
