Duringthepastweek severalarrestingstatements haveappearedinthepress concerningthegrowthof worldpopulationinitsrelationtofoodsupplies.

Since1921,heclaimed,the populationincreasehad progressivelyoutstripped thefoodoutput.Theanswertotheproblem,accordingtohim,isbirthcontrolto"stabilise"thepopulationat450millions.
