Europe‘s Population in the Inter-war Years

Abstract

THE Office of Population Research, at Princeton, has abundantly justified its creation by issuing book after book of invaluable data often otherwise difficult to obtain. The book now reviewed is of primarily historical interest, as 1939 is almost lost in antique mist so far as demographic data and political units are concerned. Yet the data for those days must to a large extent remain our guide for the future in spite of the millions of displaced persons and the holocausts of victims of war and dictatorships.
