Mass Production

A proposal to force Turks to marry when they reach the age of 25 and to legislate for the arrival of one child from each couple every three years was defeated in a session of the Angora Assembly.

The Deputy of Erzerum, who proposed this scheme, had hoped to raise the population of Asia Minor from 8,000,000 to 48,000,000.

(A somewhat similar proposal, precipitated by a harrowing shortage, was put into effect in Austria three weeks ago.)
