The report also is expected to
raise a moral question of wheth
er people in one part of the
world should increase their pop
ulation, creating more mouths to
feed, while people in another
part of the world are alive and
hungry.
In the past the "political and
economic planning'' organization
has always been careful to recog
nize that proposals for limiting
population may run counter to
religious beliefs. But it is also
known to hold the view that a
stable world population is one
way . of ensuring food enough
for -all.

of the Willamina-Salem second

Buell in Polk county.

ondary highway immediately
