Singapore, Sept. 25.
A problem which Colombo Plan experts will have to face when they meet hero in October is the inescapable fact that the growth in populations in South and Southeast Asia have, to a large degree, nullified attempts to improve living | standards.
Gifts of huge amounts of cereals from the United States and Canada and improvements in agricultural technique have meant that there is at present little or no actual starvation in the area. But increased productivity, coupled with gift shipments of food, has barely kept pace with the soaring birthrate.
Talking of this aspect of the Colombo Plan, one Commain- wealth' diplomat said: “It might be argued that the poverty of
ench Southeast Asia is so
that anything which the West can do to assist in raising standards of living, there would be too little to have any real and sting

This diploput believes that the highest rates of population increase occur among equntries with the lowest living standards and he says that from the point of view of an overall increase in living standards, the Colombo Plan cannot be regarded as on outstanding success.
Population Incroase

In Southeast Asia, Hving standards have long been depressed, the effect of World War II resulted in widespread disease, malnutrition and stay- vation as well as high infant
