Mankind Need Not Starve

The fine start that the United States conservation officials have made during the past fifteen years toward halting the criminal waste of resources has had a tremendous influence on American thinking. Sobered by several current books and enlightened by the recent United Nations conference on the subject, Americans are now turning their attention to the problem of a better worldwide stewardship of expendable resources. The emotional tension over the question has become so great in some scientific circles that anybody who denies that the world is in danger of coming to an early end through the exhaustion of its resources is immediately accused of being against conservation.
