BELIEVES MAN

NEW HAVEN, Conn. Jan. 80. -
science keeps its present progress wit
| in comparatively short time the ave
age human life will be 1000 years
So states DR.. Eugene Lyman Fisk
an article on THE Prolongation of II
man Life in the Yale Review. DIR. ri
is an. eminent biologist and the direct
of the Life Extension Institute
When we're all living to be 1000 yea
of age. according to DIR. Fisk. serio
problems viii arise concerning the su
plus population. He suggests these 81
lutions:
Controlling the birthrate by determin-
ing sex
"selective euthanasia" or putting peo-
pie to death bv lot
Conveying selected persons in proiec-
tiles to other planets.
Otherwise there will be no standin.
room on earth
Then. too DR. Fisk points out another
danger long predicted by scientists
that the female of the species as the
more vigorous and the more frequent
may survive to the elimination of the
male and bring about a manless age!
But, says DR.. Fisk. science will trans
form persons born females into males
until a sex equalization has been reach
ed. or, if the demand is for males. f.
males viii be converted into males.
1T is quite possible that the strug-
gle for the materials for the prolonga ton
of life would supply the basis for wars
of determination" says DR.. Fisk.
$Such wars might operate to keep
down the population. otherwise the pop
ulation would continue to increase even
if the birthrate were far less than at
present. We should then be confront ed
by the choice of either race suicide or
sselective euthanasia.'
Unless we practically abolished tho
birthrate, we would be under the ne
cessity of scientific regulation of the
deathrate, and it would then he up to-
jury to decide as to those who were
to live and those who were subjects for
euthanasia.
There would, OF course, be a wide
scope here for human feeling and preiu-
dice If the -drys' were in power they

Some Faults
Likening the federal government to
business corporation. General Dawes
points to these faults" which he says
existed:
The president of the corporation
(the president of the United States)
gave practically no attention to its
ordinary routine business.
The administrative viCe-presidents
(members of the cabineN we're allow
ed to run their several departments rs
if each seperate department was an
independent authority in all matters
of routine business.
Because of a lack of any outlined
business plan, no system existed fol
making purchases or in selling mater
| iaI along business lines under a unified
policy.
No balance sheet Of the corporation
as a whole was ever prepared.
The treasurer kept no accurate &C
count of the contingent obligations o
/ the various federal departments, thus
/ resulting in money being drawn from
