"It may be more pleasant for Americans to believe that their higher level of living is due to their ingenuity and intelligence," the bulletin says. "BUT THE FACTS appear to indicate that the chief reason is due to our having only 250 persons per square mile of arable land, while Italy has over 800 and Japan about 3,000." The bulletin continued: "Compared to Japan, the State of Iowa has about the same number of horses, but three times as many cattle. Iowa has sheep compared with 17,859 in Japan; and 7,864,804 swine compared with 672,582 In Japan. Tt should be remembered," the bulletin states, "that this study applies to prewar conditions, and that since 1935 the population of the earth has increased about while much of the world's wealth, production and natural resources have been destroyed by World War THE BULLETIN says that between 1900 and 1940 world population increased? faster than in any other period of history 19 per cent higher annually than between 1850 and 1900. The bulletin concludes: "Shoujd the present global population continue to increase at the same rate that prevailed between" 1900 and 1940, the earth would hold over 21,000,000,000 by the year 2240." Earth population in 1940 was about 2,000000,000.

BY PAUL R. LEACH Chief of Our Washington Bureau WASHINGTON Our earth is overpopulating itself so fast that man's constant struggle for survival endangers permanent peace and good will he is so ardently seeking. Russia especially presents "grave problems in the near future." Those observations are contained in a bulletin by the Population Reference Bureau, a scientific, nonprofit educational organization of Washington. Social Scientist Henry Pratt Fairchild, of New York, is its president. FOUR ECONOMIC warnings, which go far beyond the present postwar food crisis, are cited: At the present rate of population increase, science every century must create or discover the production equivalent of 15 new earths in order to free the people of our one world from want.

2 If all the wealth of the earth had been divided equally among Its people, even before the war, freedom from want could not have been obtained. 3 Half of the people on this earth earn less than $4 a week and three-fourths less than-58, as translated into American purchasing power. 4 Instead of being a great productive nation, Russia might already be nearing overpopulation.

Highlights on countries most affected as set forth in the bulletin are: RUSSIA Thirtieth among 32 countries in relative standings on diet.

It is just above the Philippines and China; on a par with Rumania and Java. Russia's high proportion of peasants and its short, relatively unproductive growing season, and difficulty of keeping farm animals during severe frost are "great handicaps." Prof. Ellsworth Huntington, of Princeton, is quoted as authority. "As Russia's birth rate is one of the highest in the world," the bulletin says, "the indications are that her population situation may create grave problems in the near future." ITALY AND JAPAN Living levels about the same, with an average real income about one-fourth that of average Americans. Their cultivated land is four-fifths of an acre per person compared to 2.85 acres in the United States.

GERMANY On a par with Italy on cultivated land. Population not expected to increase as in other countries. CHINA AND INDIA An average real income of less than $4 a week compared to $28 in the United States. China's population is growing constantly despite a high death rate. India's population increased 50,000,000 between 1930 and 1940.
