Future Man and Insect Giants, Aims of Papp and Pessimism
The piece surveys projections on human evolution and future cities, mockingly quoting Professor Papp on ten foot hairless beings and speculative threats from giant insects. It notes limits by chemistry and biology, cites Czarist and Russian aviation feats, and critiques Lloyd George’s Europe war forecast as foggy. It then highlights The St Lawrence waterway treaty claims from The Toronto Mail and Empire, noting US cost share, Michigan watershed shifts, and Canadian benefits, with a skeptical view of US Senate approval and border tensions.
