13. Beginning with Herbert Spencer and his contemporaries, but largely ignored
for nearly a century.
14. As in recent draft-law controversy, in which the issue of selective deferment
of the culturally privileged is often carelessly equated with the preservation of
the biologically "fittest."
15. G. Bouthol, in La Guerre (Paris: Presses universitairies de France, 1953)
and many other more detailed studies. The useful concept of "polemology," for
the study of war as an independent discipline, is his, as is the notion of
"demographic relaxation," the sudden temporary decline in the rate of
population increase after major wars.
16. This seemingly premature statement is supported by one of our own test
studies. But it hypothecates both the stabilizing of world population growth and
the institution of fully adequate environmental controls. Under these two
conditions, the probability of the permanent elimination of involuntary global
famine is 68 percent by 1976 and 95 percent by 1981.

1. This round figure is the median taken from our computations, which cover
varying contingencies, but it is sufficient for the purpose of general discussion.
2. But less misleading than the more elegant traditional metaphor, in which war
expenditures are referred to as the "ballast" of the economy but which suggests
incorrect quantitative relationships.
3. Typical in generality, scope, and rhetoric. We have not used any published
program as a model; similarities are unavoidably coincidental rather than
tendentious.
4. Vide the reception of a "Freedom Budget for all Americans," proposed by A.
Philip Randolph et al; it is a ten-year plan, estimated by its sponsors to cost
$185 billion.
5. Waskow, op. cit.
6. By several current theorists, most extensively and effectively by Robert R.
Harris in "The Real Enemy," an unpublished doctoral dissertation made avail-
able to this study.
