Freedom from Want and International Population Policy

The major social problem is no longer that of labor as a class but of the welfare and security of whole populations. The present total war, mainly the consequence of the Western powers' neglect of the security factor in inter-population adjustments, brings the population problem to the forefront of national and international politics. Manpower is the basic condition of victory; yet freedom from want is the basic guarantee against a real war of populations. Democratic international organization will ease the approach to a world population optimum
