WORLD'S ECONOMIC PARADOX
DR. NORWOOD'S VIEWS FRIGHTENED OK HAKIM'S FERTILITY LONDON. October 7. •'We have reached the end. We <annot persist in the paradox of simultaneously demanding plenty and scarcity," said Dr. Frederick W. Norwood, chairman of the Congregational Union of England and Wales, preaching at the City Temple after a world tour. "T was almost heartbroken with
! trie worlds beauty and wonderful fertility side by side with its hunger, weariness and hate. We have conquered scarcity but have no technique for handling abundance. The world is frightened of the
earth's fertility. It is practising contraception upon the seeds of wheat, wool, sugar, cotton, silk, rubber, rice, tin and coffee, stifling at birth the fundamental necessities to man for fear of disturbing prices."
