Europe's propaganda machines are

American newspapers are doing their

Near the Limit

Baltimore, Md.-About- the year 2100
the United States will have reached
a point at which it will be unable to
support any more inhabitants.
This is one of the startling sasser-
tions Of DR.. Raymond Pearl, professor
of vital statistics at Johns Hopkins
University.
eff no way has been found TO beat
populations progress" he says, ''the
United States will find itself then in
the same position as China today.
We will have some 200,000,0Q0 people
and thenceforward the number will os-
cilate, back and forth, as a few years
Of famine and then of plenty affect
it."
Pearl is we'll known in economic
circles for his studies in population
growth. He is one of the country's
leading biologists and statisticians
and has specialized on heredity and
biometry, or statistical study in hui
man life's variations.
"The world is on the high road
to population saturation," is his con-
clusion. "From my experiments l
have formed two mathematical laws
according to which populations seem
to grow.
How Laws Work.
"One is that a population, start
ing at beginning as near as posi-
bic to zero, grows at an increasing
rate until it reaches its optimum re-
lation between its means Of subsis-
tence and the number of people.
Then it keeps on growing, but at an
ever-decreasing rate until the saturaa
ton point is reached.
"The 'optimum relation in the Uni
ted< States was passed in 1914. Now
our population is growing, but at a de-
creasing rate. Hoboken, N. j., is al
ready close to its own saturation point.
If its population increases, the city
will have to expand or its people will
have to move out.
"When the saturation point is
reached, what happens to the United
States will be about the same as what
is happening in China today, if moth
ing is done meanwhile to correct this
law That is, famine, pestilence, war,
will cut down the population for few
years. Then there will be few more
good years, and famine will step in
again.
War, Pestilence, Famine.
"China is reacting to the second law
of population growth--the law Of self
regulation. That, in simple terms, is
that war, pestilence and other cslam-
titles make only a little iiggle if the
population curve. which then corrects
itself as though there were no dis
aster.
''War and pestilence. therefore, are
no solution. The only other one sug-
gested thus far is birth control. On
that subject l am still doubtful. It's
good remains to be felt.
"The only alternative is this law Of
self-regulation by which over-crowd
ing Tesults in great misery and suffer
ing.
81 have come to believe that the
fundamental cause of the last war was
population pressure, just as it has
been in the past and undoubtedly will
be in the future. But that does not
solve the problem"
