Index Entry
What we have now in these vital statistics is a look at what we’ve got on Earth right now. What we’ve found in our research is that the materials of the Earth are there; we don’t have to create the materials of the Earth. What we have to do is to increase the efficiency with which the materials are used. It just comes home every time that it’s the metaphysical that has to be altered; not the physical. The physical is always there. . .
There is enough land, if we work the land in the same way Japan works it, in which they’re feed six-and-a-half people per acre; whereas in the United States we feed about one per acre. If we could duplicate that efficiency factor all over the Earth, we actually would feed the people; but the problem is always the electrical power; it’s always the necessity of processing the food and getting the food to the people. It’s fine to grow it in this area, but if you can’t store it, you can’t feed the people who are living in the other area. . .
