Recentpressdiscussionof juveniledelinquencywas cappedbyanarticleinour morningcontemporaryby Mr.PeterBrett,seniorlecturerinLawattheUniversity.Itstruckmeasexceedinglycuriousthatin morethan1,500words'religion"ormorality"were notoncementioned-even incidentally.

WhyPickIndia?

Itwasonlyyesterdaythat theIndianambassadortothe UnitedStatesrevealedthat UNO,withthefullbacking ofPrimeMinisterNehru andtheCongressPartyset upfivepilotprojectstoobservebirthcontrol'seffects inselectedareasofIndia.

IfUNOhadattemptedthisformofgenocide(to whichitishypocritically opposed)inanyChristian 'land, therewouldhavebeen a Indiaresoundingoutcry.But wasacarefullychosentarget,becauseUNO hasbeenstampededbythe Malthusianhowlabout worldfoodsuppliesand -lobservesbecausetheHindureligion nonicetiesinthe tmatterofchastity.

with"noopposition"from thepeopleofhiscountry.It sohappensthatthereare 5,000,000CatholicsinIndia who,undertheleadership oftheirBishops,haveprotestedveryvigorously.

Moreover,thelateMahatma Gandi,"FatherofIndia," insistedthatself-control wastheonlyacceptable formofbirthcontrol.

NewTheoryRises

Whenpeopleurgethat suchpeoplesasItaliansand Japanesebeginthepractice ofbirth-controltolimit theirnumber,theyaresuggestingremedieswhich leavethenaturalorderand enterthemoralorder.The prophetsofdoomsaythat theworldcannotsupport thetwobillioninhabitants italreadyhas,buttheyare counteredbyprophetsof hopewhosaythatthe world'sresources,ifproperlyguardedandused,can supportfourbillionpeople.

Italy'sSouthbearsout strikinglyatheoryofpopulationthatisgainingsome currency.Asstatedby Dr.HallidaySutherland,it isasfollows:"Underconditionsofhardshipthebirthratetendstorise;incircumstancesofease,the birth-ratetendstofall."By actualstatistics,northern Italy,with44percent.of thepopulation,consumes60 percentofthenation'sfood, whilethedepressedSouth, whichhas38percentofthe population,consumesonly 19percentofthenational foodsupply.Inthenorthernprovinces,ingeneral, familiesofsixandmore childrenarenotsocommon asinthepoorestsectionsof theSouth.InthenorthernprovincesofLombardy andPiedmont.thenumber ofdeathsactuallyexceeded birthsduring1951.
