C. L. Sulzberger commented on shortcomings of United Nations Conference on the Human Environment (June 5-16) in New York Times article: "There can never be major ecological reform until world government limits population and polices the earth's surface. Nor is there any prospect of such world government in time to act" Day approached "when technical accomplishment makes it not only possible to export mass quantities of men and women in fleets of immense spacecraft but also to seed the distant planets and still more distant stars so that they become habitable for human beings." This was "logical, ultimate goal of all ecological crises. Within sensible limitations of cleanliness, the aim must be not to reduce by Gandhian means of zero growth but to produce-to mass. produce-new Noah's arks and thrust them into the infinity of the universe."
