The Cambridge University Press has indicated that its production schedule will be delayed by the current British power crisis. Its production staff is allowed to operate only three days per week and mails are running very slow because of a railroad strike. In fact the airmail letter in which IJMES was notified of this took three weeks to arrive in Los Angeles. Copies of IJMES therefore will be delayed until the crisis has passed. Cambridge University Press and the editor will do everything possible to get the Journal to you as soon as possible.

The group will focus on the global aspects of population through an interdisciplinary approach. Dr. Cargille, the newly elected president, stated that the Society will foster research and will publish scholarly works on pop- ulation problems, as well as sponsor regional and international meetings. Among the Society's objectives are the stimulation of international cooperation toward solution of population and environmental problems, the establishment of an information analysis center, the encouragement of disciplines to consider their relevance to population dynamics and the support of the teaching of population science. The Society will also seek to promote recognition of population science as a discipline and to provide for public education and information. Members will be solicited from numerous fields, includ- int the social, biomedical, management and information sciences. "Global Dialogue of the Disciplines on Population" was the theme of the first annual meeting held in Washington, D.C. February 7-9, 1974. The meeting included sessions on the following: Population and World Human Needs Influencing Population Trends Is there an Optimum Population? Urbanization: Positive and Negative Implications What are the Feasible Transitions from Population Growth to Equilibrium? Technological Progress and Cultural Values Population and Sustainable Standards of Living: The World Budget of Proteins, Energy and Metals Pollution — A Possible Mode of Extinction? Population, Politics and Social Justice Information about membership and Society activities is available from Dr. Charles Cargille, The World Population Society, The American University, Washington, D.C. 20016.
