New Worlds Emerging by Prof Hanson Promotes Conservation and Exploration
Professor Earl Parker Hanson of the University of Delaware argues against pessimism about feeding a growing world population. He envisions two development models for new worlds. the Amazon basin and Canada as thinly populated resource regions and Java and Porto Rico as dense areas to industrialize. He foresees two paths to similar ends: resource-driven immigration and capitalistic industrialization, leading to more food and self-sufficient, balanced societies, dispelling myths about habitable climates for white populations. The vision emphasizes sanitation, clothing, and food to keep soldiers healthy in all regions, and portrays exciting prospects for new worlds.
