DEAN’S PREDICTIONS
WORLD IN YEAR 3000 LONDON, sth June. What the world will be like in 3000 A.D. was envisaged by Dean Inge, of >SI. Paul’s Cathedral, in a lecture to tho Royal Institution. He prophesied that there would be no wars, no tariffs, no national debts and no lawyers. Taxation would be reduced to the minimum, politics would bo clean and Britain’s population 'would be limited to 20,000 - 000. The propagation of the human species without certificates of fitness would be forbidden, and aristocracy would mean mental and physical ancestral perfection.
