PREFACE * Tue Suapow oF THE WorLp’s FUTURE” is an exposi- tion of the consequences of the limited population- carrying capacity, under various conditions, of our earth. Founded upon a survey of its areas, of the distribution of its present inhabitants, and of their productions, it shows that the menace of the present rate of growth of those inhabitants is most serious. This rate is of the order of about 1 per cent. per annum. Starting in 1928 with a total of say 1950 millions of human beings, the existence of such a rate is of the gravest significance, for, in the course even of the present century, mankind will be involved in very great diffi- culties, for which unquestionably it is quite unprepared. The difficulties of the near future relate specially to food-supplies and to economic organisation. They are of a character which does not give any ground for the hope that they will automatically adjust themselves; there is therefore no alternative but to face them. It is for this reason that the population-question is of the first order of importance for every person who has any interest in his country’s future, or in his children and children’s children. The sense of unrest existing among all intelligent peoples to-day is perhaps a precognition by the “un- conscious mind” of coming troubles. Is it possible, we may ask, by envisaging the grave problems of the immediate future, to move toward a partial solution
