Says a UN official: ‘‘Food, not Berlin or its equivalent, could be the cause of world war Il. particularly if it gets mixed up with the racial thing. It's the white who has the food. It's the brown. black and yeilow who has an empty belly. ‘That's

The Far Fast has 53 per cent al.. the. world's _ population . and produces but 28 per cent of its food while North America, with seven per cent of the population. grows 21 per cent of the world's supply 2
Can the world feed its <well- ing mesnbers? Almost every. ex- pert answers that it can—the- oretically. Colin Clark, a British agricultural economist, ts quoted as saying the world's arable land could feed 95.900,- 900,000 people in cultivated as intensively as Japan's
There are areas of hope- the Philippines’ food output rose six per cent annually during the 19%@s—and unease — India feeds up to 4.000.000 people on imported food and 11,900,000 mouths are added each vear. MATTER OF LIFE, DEATH

Despite the urgency of the world population problem. a relative pittance is being spent on it
Yet it is through research, many feel, that some way will be found to the perfect control dewce. one that its cheap. easily used, long-lasting and could meet Roman Catholic church objections that any me- chanical interference with pro- creation is a sin against natural and moral law
