If the whole 30,,000 square miles could be made to tain a population as dense as that Belgium the earth would have ut 20,000,000,000 Inhabitants. If average density were only 200 to mmm square mile Instead of 650, as in glum, the total population would 6,000,000,000. ?1 >ur population in 1910 was about >00,000, living on an area of 3,560,square miles, an average of been 25 and 26 human beings to the are mile. There can not be the htest doubt that this could be In- 1 ised to an average of 200 to the are mile, making a DODulatlon for United States of more than 700,,000. Very likely this could be In- ' ised to a thousand millions with aid of modern science, he vast area of Africa, with an Et of more than 12,000,000 square es, certainly does not contain more n 150,000,000 inhabitants, an averof less than 13 to the square mile, at least half of Africa Is very fer, and even the Sahara desert posies the potential elements of fertllonly waiting development. It is bable that Africa could maintain e than 1,000.000,000 of people, if vas thoroughly civilised. China, It 4,227,000 square miles, supports ,000,000 people, and India with r3,000 square miles, has 315,000,000 eibltants. 1 outh America covers 7,000,000 are miles and contains say 45,000,people, an average not much above l to the square mile. It Is rich ugh to have at least 600,000,000. ? ro, the earth is not being overpopted. .
