There were still vast areas to be drawn into the service of man, and also, in the greater part of the world, the productivity per unit could be very much increased*. Many denied that the white man could 1 exist in moist tropics, for more than one generation or so. He believed the white man could acclimatise himself if he migrated step by step, aiul very slowly, from the high border regions into the moist plains.
