Present and Suggested Sources 



public opinion would insist upon the creation 

 of the necessary conditions to secure this 

 end. The Empire cannot remain sound and 

 satisfactory if this problem is not considered, 

 and if wise measures for the development of 

 our land resources are not devised. Surely, 

 it cannot be widely recognized that with 

 an Empire embracing one quarter of the 

 land surface of the globe, we have a white 

 agricultural population living on and by the 

 land, considerably smaller than the agricul- 

 tural population of European Germany. 

 The following tables will show what are the 

 present conditions in regard to population, 

 production, and consumption.
