Italy Suffers Birth Decline Despite Mussolini Drive
Italy reports 24 000 fewer births in the first seven months of the year versus 1925 and 41 000 fewer than 1924. Marriages rose 5 000 over 1925 while deaths fell 6 000. The drop arises from high living costs, even as Mussolini advocates large families. His propaganda targets patriotic sentiment, urging a larger populace to build a stronger nation.
