A SOCIAL REVOLUTION THREATENED
Dr Ogle urged that as the population is increasing in a formidable degree, and as the facilities for emigration are becoming less, the time must inevitably come when the growth of numbers must be stopped, and thus the equalisation of the death and birth rate brought to pass. But any of the remedies mentioned — either emigration, or increase of permanent celibacy, or retarda tion of marriage — would, Dr Ogle concluded, have to be applied on a scale so enormously in excess of any experience as to amount to a social revolution.
