Abstract
ARE the British people able and willing to maintain their numbers, and is it desirable that they should? If, as anticipated, the reply is affirmative, how can we ensure that our children shall be naturally well endowed and properly equipped as members of society to face the difficult years ahead? P.E.P., in answer to these basic questions, assumes that British society will remain democratic in its devotion to individual freedom and that the principles and practice of a future population policy—unfortunately, not yet even dimly discernible !—will be in harmony with our traditions.
