FUTURE CIVILISATION
Influence Of Climate LONDON, January 23. The "Evening Standard's” diarist reports that Mr S. F. Markham, M.P., in spite of full time Army service, has found time to complete a book, "Climate and the Energy of Nations,” on which he had been working for several years before the outbreak of war.
Mr Markham traces the influence of climate upon history and the possibility of artificially controlling climate and the effect of such a possibility upon future civilisation. He believes that the areas of the world most worth living in include New Zealand, the American Pacific Coast, the south-east of Australia, Holland, Switzerland, and the south-east of England.
Mr Markham maintains that a nation which can keep its citizens in ideal conditions, whether indoor or outdoor, has a great opportunity of leading the world in health, energy, trade and culture.
