Women doctors and public health and social workers each will describe her homeland's attitude on this contentious subject. Dr. Nadina R. Kavinosky, Los Angeles, one of three women doctors chosen from United States to attend an International conference on birth control in Switzerland! some years ago, has the subject listed. It will be discussed as a question pertaining to maternal morbidity and exhaustion. Mrs. Marie Keesing, Honolulu, co author of "Tradition and Progress," a study syllabus on Pacific problems, International chairman of the topic "Population Pressures and Their Relation to Peace on the Pacific," has also outlined birth con trol as a topic.

In densely populated countries Is there any alternative ultimately to a high death rate except birth control? 1. How rapidly can birth control be made to stabilize a population?

What are the chief obstacles economic, psychological, political, philosophic and religious, etc., and haw can those be overcome? 3. What of birth control In underpopulated areas? Can and should they attempt to prevent falling birth rates? At what cost must they do so? 4. What alternatives arc there to a policy of attempting to stimulate the birth rate in order to populate a sparsely-settled Discuss the "White Australia policy." On what does it depend for success?
