Scope and content
2 copies of a paper written by an unidentified author on rural depopulation. The author blames exposure to urban and foreign living standards and lifestyles via 'the school, the wireless, and the cinema' which compel youth to leave rural areas. The author then advocates: a extensive list of tax, agricultural, and rural development schemes; prohibition of emigration areas for persons between the ages of 12 and 25 without a permit; glorification of marriage and the church; new houses for every married couple; and a myriad of other measures which the author claims would result 'In one year the Drift from the Land would have ceased and in two years Ireland would have left its most unfortunate period behind.'
