ENCOURAGING FAMILIES
BIRTH RATE IN ITALY "COWARDLY UPPER CLASSES.” Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, December 12. Signor Mussolini Ims subscribed £llO to a fund which a newspaper is raising for the purpose of helping needy parents of many children. He said that the gift must be considered an acknowledgment of the newspaper’s initiative in honouring parents with many children and holding them up as an example to other persons who were purposely sterile and nearly all of whom belonged to the so-called upper classes, which were richer but morally cowardly. Without the prolific working men’s families the grave decline in the birthrate which was threatening the nation would reach an extreme phase. “This must bo repeated ..ami shouted aloud, even if it is the,.bitter truth,” ho said. There are many things dangerous on the ; face of the earth, from tigers to .malaria mosquitoes, bat one danger surpasses all—namely, stupid optimism.”—Australian Press Association-United Service.
