A very important world problem--in fact, I think it may be most important of all the great world problems which face us at the present time--is the rapidly increasing pressure of population on the land.
The population of the world today is about 4, 000, 000, 000. That is an enormous number, yet it is known quite accurately, because there are very few parts of the world which have not carried out a modern census.
The important thing is not so much the actual population of twenty million--about six months’ increase in world population. Take Australia. There are ten million people in Australia.

Both enable me to maintain old connections and make new connections with people I find I have something in common with. Learning how to use these vehicles is the key. I think we are presently in the process of doing just that.
