670 THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF SOCIOLOGY
How much longer the exporting countries, especially the United States, will be able to supply the European markets, it is, of course, impossible to determine ; nor can it be doubted that, in proportion as importation becomes less, greater efforts will be made everywhere, and agriculture will be much improved. As to the adaptation of the population to the means of existence, it seems probable, from the tendencies already manifest in our civilized communities, that the psycho-economic check will grow stronger and act as the main equilibrating force.
