"Under no system of social organization is it possible to escape the fact that if the population expands more rapidly than the means of subsistence, poverty must ensue."' This is the contention upheld by Mr. Harold Cox with characteristic clearness and argumentative energy in "The Problem of Population." (Cape, 6s.). An intelligent control of reproduction he considers necessary to social health and stability, and those who sympathize with his view could nowhere find a better logical statement of the case or a fuller collection of relevant. facts. The author deals in a very interesting chapter with certain inconsistencies in the clerical antagonism to such a policy.
