In an urgent address, the author o! "Standing Room Only" and "The Population Explosion" told a rapt audience that if measures aren't quickly taken lo halt or slowdown the population explosion, the human race will cat itself orf the face of the earth He slated that this was an im mediate pn Jilcm and one that has to be solved now. Sax said, "What ever happens must happen within the next two years or the problem will be completely hopeless." The speaker told the audience that the nations of the world must looking inward and being oursel es." Dr. Ilolton. profssor of physics at Harvard University and editor of "Dadalus," the Journals of the Ajjierican Academy of Arts and Sciences," discussed the current "lear Image" the public has of scientific progress, likening sci ence to "the serpent which seduces us to eat from the tree of knowl edge und thereby dooms us." The speaker pointed out that this schism did not exist in the past pri marily bcausc the "concepts and hopes of the future and then of ; undergo a demographic transition. This is a transition from high birth and death rates and a low living standard to low birth and devdh rates and a high standard of living He said that, presently, only 20 per cent of the world's nations have made this transition. Sax said that if the under-developd countries of the world wanted to enjoy the living standards of l'..V) America they would have to increase their gross national product by at least 50 fold. Sax stated that even these meas- transition is accomplished in four ways: 1. Develope the productive efli t ieiu y of agriculture. Thi.s must be elfieient enough to allow r0 of the men to go into business, medi cine, education and science to help increase production. 2. Development of industry, trans portation, communication and mach inery. This would not only give the country tools to work with, but also goods to trade in exchange lor food imports. 3. To have great migrations of people to other countries. This would take a little strain off population pressures. 4. To practice some type of birth control. Sax said that this demographic ures wuild only be temporary. The only lasting guarantee to over population would be good birth control measures. He said that if the world popula tion figure kept growing at the pres ent rate there would only be one square yard of living space for each person on earth at the end of 600 years. Sax also stated that at the end of 1700 years the people on earth would outweigh the world. Sax cited a possible escape from such a fate, by saying that we could build space ships and colonize other worlds. He added, however, that although this would be an event of the future, we would have to start building space ships that carry 2, ()()() men today, if we had to keep up wijh the explosive population growth.
