Rapid rates of pop increase in the major, economically aspiring, non-Communist nations imperil their econ progress, &this in turn threatens world peace. The econ difficulty is not signif'ly related to the classical conception of limited natural resources & diminishing returns attributable thereto. The difficulty is primarily due to limitation of capital needed to exploit technological advance. A problem to begin with because the poor, non-totalitarian nation finds it hard to save, it is rendered most acute by 2 other phenomena: the drain on capital supplies for purposes which do not directly improve industrial productivity, such as cultural educ; & the drain incident to converting agrarian economies into Ur ones. Finally, to this is joined the dilemma that present high fertility rates & consumers to the society relatively faster than workers. This reduces per capita incomes & thereby the volume of savings. Per capital income could increase more than twice as fast in the next 2 generations from the single influence of a 50% reduction in fertility rates & its effect on pop numbers, age distribution, & capital formation. Relevant policies for the US & other rich nations are indicated in the article, which reviews Philip M. Hauser, Ed, POPULATION AND WORLD POLITICS, Glencoe, Ill, the Free Press, 1958. AA-IPSA.
