university analyzing the census
figures, recently given out at WASH
irgton sees II grave crisis approaching
for this country
These figures" he says. take us
out of the class of Germany, Great
Britain and France and put us in the
4 class with Russia, India and China,
nations which we have always look
ed down on, but whose problems now
are ours.
I'VE must face the problems now of
nation with huge population
which is ovcrcrowding the land
available for tillage. The day
has gone by when an American can
waste every day what would sup
port a whole family In France. TO
stop this is called conservation Of
natural resources, but that is only q
part of It, The chief thing is to stop
waste and begin to live with more
intensive application. a man can no
longer waste one farm and then so 70
another state and live on another. We
must stop living on our capital. and
with other adult people, live on our
income.
THE pressure OH our tillable land
will force us eventually to look 10
foreign nations for the things we
cannot supply ourselves.
do YOU realize that Iowa has gone
back In the last 10 years: that Ohio
has stood still and that Illinois. IN
spite Of Chcago's aid. has only gained
IA per cent? The notion that we can
live on our capital has got TO stop ana
we have to remember that we have TO
live on our income. The country must
somehowe restore the cost OF
living TO a normal place: II
must restore the national happiness,
and the stability of our government.
