Dec, 1948) Pproved the "Convention for the Prevention and Repression of the Crime of Genocide". It has been already ratified by 75 nations, but not by the United States, although the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted for it on 31. March 1971. According to this Committee, genocide includes "acts intended to destroy, in whole or part, a national, religious, ethnic or racial group". Genocide (or genicide, genticide) can bee committed in peace and in war by rulers, officials, or inviduals. It is an ancient crime, and it has a very large literature. —Cf. also GRE­GOR Ņ CLUSELLAS, E. L. (1961): Genocidio, su prevención y represión, B. Aires.

He thought that early marriage should be made possible for the coming generation because late marriage will result in the institutionalization of prosti­tution. — Cf. also MYRDAL, G. (1938): Amer. Acad. Polit. Soc. Sc. 197: 200 etc. discussing modern Sweden, mentions that Swedes do not think that they have "any duty to the nation" from the family's point of view. "Families ought to have children, not in obedience to the state, but for their own happiness At least in Sweden, nobody is in any case breeding children for the state's sake (Ibid., 204). 532 Cf. footnotes 490, 496-497 in this study.—See also PETERSEN I.e. footn. 372,426: SS men were given weekend leaves in order to impregnate women whom the Party selected for their racial characteristics. In the USSR, before 1936, bigamy, adultery, even incest were dropped from the statutory list of crimes; religious marriage was no longer recognized by law, and even a ceremony was legally unnecessary. These early laws were to hasten the disintegration of the patriarchal family of Tsarist Russia. —In 1951, the Albanian government imposed a tax on bachelors between 20 and 50 years of age, and upon unmarried childless women between 20 and 40 years of age {DAILY MAIL, 24 March, 1951).—In 1955 KHRUSHCHEV told young co­lonists that a family must have three children, "because the development of the society is our concern". He also justified taxes on bachelors and on childless families. Cf. SAUVY, A. (1961): Fertility and Survival, N.Y. 208. 533 Contrary to such interference, Pope PAUL VI announced that" it is for the parents to decide, with full knowledge of the matter, on the number of their children, taking into account their responsibilities toward God, themselves, the children they have already brought into the world, and the community to which they belong. ..". Mark the sequence of responsibilities!! 534 First in Japan, then in the USSR, then in all eastern European countries, except East Germany and Albania. It is tolerated in Taiwan, South Korea, Israel. In 1959, the American Law Institute recommended changes in American abortion laws which would permit abortion if there was a substantial risk of a defective child being born. In recent years, many U.S. states liberalized the abortion laws. —Where abortion is performed at request, the birth rate was spectacularly reduced. In Hungary the number of legal abortions was supposed to exceed the number of live births. In Japan the birth rate dropped from 34/M to about 19/M; in Romania from 35/M tó 13.7/M. The Romanian government became alarmed, and provided incentives for parent­hood, with limitations on abortion; then, the birth rate again climbed to 38,4/M. Cf. Society of Friends, I.e. footn. 11, passim. 535 On 20. June 1948., the Law of Eugenic Protection was promulgated in Japan, with "an essenti­ally quantitative objective dressed up in qualitative clothing" (SAUVY I.e. footn. 532). An Eugenics Committee was also established. It is considered that "eugenic sterilization" can avoid at least 2-3 birth, and is equivalent to several abortions. 536 Cf. KIRK D. (1967): Am. Acad.
