Population Rise
As of November 20th
at 11 a.mj the population of
the United States reached
200,000,000. At its present rate
of growth, it will total more
than 250,000,000 by 1985.
For centuries we have looked
upon growth as desirable and
gratifying. And since the early
colonial days this process has
been constant. .
But now. for the first time
some are beginning to think twice
about the rapidly Increasing rate
of growth. Most of the growth,
some experts point out, comes
in tne wrong places among
the under-privileged, who al
ready include many unemployed.
In many areas people already
wait in unes and suffer from
heavy traffic congestion and the
ever-increasing speed of our
population growth poses pro
blems in air ; and water
pollution, housing ' and con
gestion. vy:, -; -Av
The time may come when we
will not want to add a hundred
million to our population with
each generation which is the
growth rate today.
