Washington (U.PJ A "sun ci
. vilizatioa" o unlimited abund
ance may be on man's horizon.
This possibility was proclaim
ed without fanfare at Berkeley,
Calif., in the waning . days ' of
1854. . ;
At a time in human history
. when many - a reflective person
was wondering whether his spe
cies could . survive hydrogen-
atomic violence, a group of Uni
versity of California scientists
issued a statement.
The scientists, headed by Dr.
Daniel I. Arnon, said they had
harnessed sunlight to ; create
sugar and starch out of water
and carbon dioxide in the ab
sence of green plants. It had
never been done before. .
No ' bells - rang, no sirens
shrieked, and neither Congress
nor the United Nations was call
ed into extraordinary session.
But if the promise implied in
the Berkeley announcement can
be fulfilled, human society is
headed for a - golden- age of
plenty in which there will .be
no war because there will be no
reason for war.
Next Great Invention
:' Dr. C. F. Kettering, famous
General Motors scientist-engineer,
said recently that ."we've
never had any great inventions
since the discovery - of .the
wheel." The next great inven-
tion, he said, will be artificial
5 food production.
. "The human race must some
day become independent of
plant life," he said, adding the
prediction that it will do so "in
the next 50 years.'
' The meaning of the Berkeley
i announcement was that man al
ready has found a way: to ac
complish elementary photosyn
thesis without benefit - of living
green cells. The vision . thus
evoked is one of inexhaustible
food supplies and inexhaustible
.-. power.
, Scientists have a long way to
go before they can manufacture
fats and proteins as well as car
bohydrates artificially in a sun
factory.
Unlimited Abundance
But enough has been learned
to justify belief that man if he
can stay alive for yet a few
decades will liberate himself
from the tyranny of green grow-
lng things. ; . .
Should that come to pass, Dr.
Arnon said - in Berkeley, 'It
would usher, in a new era of un
limited abundance - in -which
man would be' able to tap the
energy of sunlight directly and
free himself of his dependence
on green plants ior food and
' energy sources." ;
The sun is the giver of all life
on earth and the source of all
pover so far used by-man on a
big scale- It energizes life by
means of complicated chemical
processes ; employed " by ? green
plants and ' known collectively
as photosynthesis. ; -

trap sunlight and transform it
into chemical energy. In the pr
cess' they create out of water,
carbon dioxide, and small
amounts of other elements the
tissues and materials on which
all life subsists. '
Plants At Inefficient
Once living organisms,. pre
served over millions of years as
hydrocarbons ..in. the form , of
coal,- oil and gas, supply man
with stored sunlight which; he
converts into power for his ma
chines by combustion.
. Photosynthesis is' amazingly
complex, amazingly rapid, and
amazingly inefficient. A plant
manages to trap and store less
than one per cent of the sunlight
that falls on its leaves.. A man
made machine that inefficient
would be discarded. Neverthe
less, the bulk product of photo
synthesis is tremendous.

Scientists have been fascinat

ever since they tumbled to, the
fad . that plants are indispen
sable to' all other forms of life.
But : not until - the atomic era
came along could men of science
examine these processes in de
tail. . , . ; ' .C
Using radioactive tracer atoms,
detectable from split-second to
split-second as they move
through a biological system, they
learned a great deal of. how a
plant i manufactures i complex

If science can identify and
then manufacture these ; com
pounds out of non-living matter
plus solar energy, it can produce
earth's basic foods and fuels
without the help of plants. :

there is reason to believe that

many-fold. That is the promise
in " the ""announcement ' from
Berkeley.
According to' Gordon Dean;
former chairman of the Atomic
Enersrv Commission. ' "This sin
gle accomplishment might well
change the conditions of numan
existence more drastically than
all the work in the field of nu
clear powered - ships, airplanes
and electric generators."
The present AEC chairman,
Lewis L. Strauss, has said that if
artificial photosynthesis can be
perfected, "it may be that from
that point on, since both water
and carbon -dioxide, ' and sun
light, are plentiful commodities,
the food supply problem of the
world, which has been a limiting
factor . on population growth,
would be solved."
