It is a curve which has the form w would be obtained by fas ioning a letter “S” out of stiff wire and then pulling the ends until the central portion of the “S” was in- clined to the right instead of to the left. Now Dr. Pearl points out a simi- larity between our carth and the milk-bottle universes. The Law of Population _ “Both pos: ys. found no way to Space surrounding the world we Six years of re- me that this curve expresses the law of popula. tion and that human _ population: tend to grow in exactly the same way that the milk-bottle popula- tiuns do.” Accordingly, Dr. Pearl has plot- ted a curve for the population of the world. He believes that it is already beginning to slow up and that it will reach the saturation point and become stationary at 5200 millions un science something to change the conditions under which men must live. In support of this view, Pearl says: “Statistics are significant. They show that during the last centur; the population of the world increas ed two and a half times. “But during the same time, the production of coal and pig iron in- creased more than 50 times. “Cotton production increased 20 times, world commerce 20 times, world shipping eight times, railroad mileage 3000 times and telegraph lines 300 times. Cannot Continue “It is obvious that this cannot goon. If, for example, the rate of increase in coal production were to continue, it would necessitate long before the end of the present cen- tury an carth composed of solid coal. That is why the population growth must slow down and event- ually reach a figure beyond which science comes to the rescue with new processes of food and fuel production. Dr. Edward M. East, disti ed biologist of Harvard Uni: ‘ity, agrees with Dr. Pearl's figure of 5,200 millions. He marshals agricultural figures to suport it. He points out that the International Institute of A: riculture at Rome estimates that only 40 per cent of the total area of the most populous countries is land which can be cultivated. plying that figure to the whole earth gives a total of 13,000 mil- lion acres of land ay food production. 197 Million in U. S. Dr. Dr. East says that a reasonable|s ’ estimate for the future is about one person for each two and a half acres of cultivated land. This means that a population of about 5,200 million is the maximum for the earth. On the same basis, Dr. East aces the maximum population the nited States will be able to sup- port at 197 millions. There are 1903 million acres of land in the United States. Dr. East believes that its ultimate dis- posal will be as follows: Improved cultivated land, 800 million acres; forest and woodland, 360 million acres; range land and “unimproved pasture, 425 million acres; deserts and land with neg- ligible grazing value, 238 million ‘acres; cities, roads and railways, 80 million acres.
