PARIS, May 10, EMPTY CRADLES in France may result in a decline in the present population of 42,000,000 to 20,000,000 in fifty years.

This warning was conveyed to-day by M. Burgot, Right Wing member of the Chamber of Deputies, in a speech at Lyons.

In 1970, M. Burgot pointed out, births in France totalled 1,034,000. Last year, there were only 810,000 births.

Each year since 1935 deaths had exceeded births.

There were 43,000 more coffins than cradles in 1938.
