Human Overflow
Washington Post)

Today the United States has 47 inhabitants for every square mile of territory Puerto Rico has SIS, than twice many it healthfuly support. The problem presented by this overcrowded dependency of the United States is of special concern now that world society is seeking way to provide a decent
 life for about three quarters of it's population For Puerto Rico as the Population Reference Bureau points out in it's latest bulletin, is mcrososm of the crowded spots of the earth.
 Nature took care of Puerto Rico's human excess in it's customary ruthless way namely, in the high death rate until the United States stepped into the picture in 1899 After this country had subsidized the islands public health services the death rate cut in half and the high birth rate continued. This has accentuated the population problem Puerto Rcans today like 80 per cent of the worlds populace have average real income of $l0 or less week. and eat less than third much of the protective foods does the average white citizen of the United States Apparently this country will have to pour and money into Puerto Rico if its rapidly increasing inhabitants to live decently.
 Nature has also been amelioratng the population problem of the crowded spots of the earth by the high death rate method. Between 20 and 30 million of such people have been dying annually But now, in the interest of both human decency and world trade efforts to be made to better the condition of about l., 750 100000 have Will ndustralization sani- tation bring the same results throughout the world in Puerto Rico? If the population situation of the planet could well be serious within half a century No wonder cynics asked Why human beings today so that more can die tomorrow"
 Yet there is the ethical question involved, also the practical consideration that in shrinking world people with plenty to eat cannot remain secure when many are in want. Some believe science may find a way of feeding the worlds hungry millions no matter how fast they multiply. Redistribution of population will help. Population experts says lowered birth rate is the only answer though religion and social custom present barriers to this solution Perhaps combna- tion of these aids will mitigate the dimensions of the general population crisis which is predicted the analogy of Puerto Rico.

STEAMSHIP HEARING

The hearing on the water transportation problems of Alaska concluded yesterday and it is difficult to see just what accomplished Those who att tended the House Sub- Committee sessions came away with the impression that the problem is nearer solved than it before.
 Management placed the blame on labor and labor passed the buck back to management. Many opinions were given by both sides but not enough facts and proof Perhaps the Seattle hearing which begins next Monday will have better results. That is the hope of the people of Alaska.
