DIVORCE AND BIRTH RATE.

BISHOP'S VIEWS APT TO BE. MISLEADING."

Widespread Interest has been created by Bishop Walpole's "statement at an Edinburgt diocesAu meeting recently that in 40 per cent, of divered, cases it was established that there were no children. Only in a small percentage of those cuses were children impossible, he said, and divorce hardly ever occurred where there was a reasonable family.

As the restriction of birth is more | noticeable among the abler members of the community," he added, "it will gradu ally become more common, and the most intelligent would be replaced by the most ignorant.'

BIRTH CONTROL FLOURES,

Dr. Norman Haire, medical president of the Birth Control Conforener in Lon-i don in 1999, feels that the foregoing views expressed by Bishop Waipole are apt to be seriously misleading.

"A census carried out a few years ago. explains Dr. Haire, revealed the fact that the average number of children was greater id families where birth control was attempted than in families where there was no attempt at restriction.

The inference that aright reasonably be drawn from this circumstance is that childless or one-child marriages are rare- ly the result of deliberate restriction. but rather of inherent incapacity for parenthood. on the part of one or other of the couple.

It is, of course, true that birth restric tion is usually more noticeable among the abler members of the community, "be- cause until recently such knowledge was not within the reach of "the working classes. Now, however, contraceptive in. formation is being made available for poor people at several clinics in this country, and it is to be hoped that the extension of such information will bring about a change in the situation.

TAXATON AND BIRTHS.

At the moment it so happens that the andle and upper classes are heavily overtaxed to provide for the maintenance of the large families of the non-self-amp- porting classes. the

Family restrictions improperly applied may lead to very un- fortunate results, it is admitted, but if intelligently used they may result, not in a reduction of the population or decrease in the average size of the family, but rather in an increase in the better- class homes, and a reduction among the squalid populations from which the un- healthy and undesirable classes are so largely recruited, =

WHY DIVORCE 1 SHUNNED.

With regard to divorce statistics, childlessness may sometimes lead to divorce; but more frequently infidelity is attributable to the fear of the husband having children whom he cannot afford to bring up in reasonable comfort, so that attempted abstinence within the mar ringe circle unfortunately leads at times. to outside indu
