"We came back from the battle- flelds of the world only to find new and different battles to fight," says a foreword to the booklet, prepared by the Central Office of Informas tion. "This book tells the story of some of the first victories, Here are re- flécted, as in a mirror, certain high- lights of achievement--some things we have done as a people." The sections, with their sub. headings, relate the works for which | - the labor government seeks praise. They include: "Children first--more children are | margin born, fewer die, and 4,000,000 benefit from family allowances." "Power stations--The new con- struction program gets into its stride." "Development areas--New indus- tries are starting and thriving in the old centres of unemployment." "Television--The only daily ser- vice in the world gets going again." "Coal--More men, using more ma- chinery, are pushing up the out- es." put 2.

"However fanciful it may be to suppose that family allowances have already had an encouraging effect 'on the birthrate, it seems reasonable to assume that, in the long run, an awareness of these new benefits will help to remove the anxiety of those . who fear they may once more be compelled to watch their child- ren living perpetually on the "In 'the last resort, everything depends on the mothers of Britain and whether enough of them are being born each year. Between 1922 and 1946 not enough female bables --potential mothers--arrived. In 1946 more fhan enough, ie. 10 per cent above replacement level, ar- rived. If each 'generation of mothers continues to reproduce itself from now on, and if those mothers do not decide to reduce the present average size of their fami. lies, there will then be no danger of the British nation gradually dwindling away."
