ing water supplies, higher
taxes, all are part of the in
pact of our burgeoning pop;
ulation on social and econom
, 1c structures. :
Present food resources in
- the United States are more
than sufficient to meet na
: tional demands despite in
crease population. In fact,
U. S. food surpluses are eco
nomically undesirable from a
national viewpoint.
However, on an Internation
. al level, food production
throughout all the areas of
the world, developed as well
as underdeveloped, must be
increased to meet world pop
ulation demands. Maxwell ',,
Stewart of the public affairs
committee has urged that the
resources of science be ap
plied to tins problem.
"With hundreds of millions
still without adequate food
and the world's population
Increasing by some SO million
a year, it has become evident
that much more needs to be
done, and done quickly, If
man s hunger is to be con
quered," Stewart reports in
a new committee pamphlet,
"That No Man Shall Hunger,"
lust released. - :
The committee's main drive
for the coming year will be
to persuade farmers to use
better seeds. Similar drives
with the help of publit sup'
port have helped conquer
livestock disease, made new
foods available, and increased
fishery catches; "...
Others also concerned with
meeting the demands of grow-
ing world populations, such
as the Population Reference
bureau, believe the answer
realistically lies in birth con
trol rather than in increasing
agricultural production, More
food in Itself is not the an
swer to all the problems that
come with expanding popula
tions. As they point out, food
production does not give us
more schools, housing, water,
sewage disposal systems, and
other urban and rural require
ments for adequate living
standards.
Frondizi Warns of .
Overthrow Plot
Buenos Aires - (UP1I - Presi
dent Arturo Frondizi , has
warned Argentina In a drama
tic nationwide radio broad
cast that a conspiracy is afoot
to overthrow his government.
But he said he would not quit.
"I shall not resign under
any circumstances," he said.
He said he would fight to
defend his government with
every constitutional means at
his disposal. 1 ;
Frondizi again outlined his
government's program "to
carry the country forward,"
