"We are facing one of the great crisis in the history of man. There are, almost everywhere, too many people."# There is irrefutable evidence that, in the long term, this planet cannot support the current rate of population growth, much less the ever-accelerating rate of such growth.

The limitation on overpopulation will be opposed with passionate zeal, but when this planet can no longer support an adequate quality of life, such limitation will be absolutely unavoidable. The goal should be to implement certain restrictions or policies in the near future in hopes to achieve somewhat earlier acceptance of the harsh realities of the long term future, and thereby reducing the suffering during that cold, cruel, unforgiving period. However, there is absolutely no conceivable way that one organization alone can combat this problem. There is a need for collective minds to set down in writing all the necessary evidence and arguments, in proper proportion, in regard to political, economic and social matters on the topic of population control.
