Population Explosion:
“There has been a great debate about the so-called population explosion in recent years. . . The cause of the bulge in census population is, of course, that more people are living longer. But the underlying reality of the population problem, if there is a problem, is that as we industrialize the rate of births decrease. . . Clearly, as man industrializes and improves the probability of human survival, whatever the drives or controls of nature are, she does not have to have anywhere as many birth ‘starts.’ This is one of the fundamental points about industrialization. . . which will be world wide by 1985.”
