Grim Choice Before 140 M.P.H. Hurricane In The World: Famine Or

War

Of Extermination WARNING BY SCIENTIST

London, Sept. 3.

Sir James Scott-Watson, leading British agricultural scientist, de- clared today that the world was facing the choice of “famine or wars of extermination" if, families were not limited in backward countries, or some spectacular advance made in food production.

In an interview with Reuter today, Sir James, who was Agricul tural Attache in the British Embassy in Washington during World War Two, said that the world would have to overcome the problem of stabili- sation of population within the next 60 years or face the twin threat of famine or war.

Sir James Scott-Watson, now Director- General of Britain's National Agricultural Ad- visory Service, was optimistic about the possibility of the fight for population stabilisation being won. "But" he added, "the world therefore we shall be beaten in population is increasing at an unprecedented rate and we are not keeping paco

PROFESSOR ENVISAGES FORMIDABLE TYPE OF WEAPONS FOR DEFENCE Possible Deterrent To Aggressor

Belfast, Sept. 3. Professor Archibald Vivian Hill, one of Mr Winston Churchill's chief wartime scientists, said here tonight that it was possible that new defensive weapons, based on nuclear fission, could be develpred, which would make armed aggression intolerably costly.

The 65-year-old Professor, a Nobel Prize winner in 1982, was making his presidential address to the British Association for the Advancement of Science,

whose annual conference opened here to night.

"Professor Hill did not go into details on the kind of. weapons he visualised.

But, he said, they would not be of the type intended

for mass destruction.

In Luxembourg, where Dr Adenauer is to preside at a meeting of the Committee of Ministers of the Schuman Plan Countries, he will also discuss The Saar problem with the French Foreign Minister, M. Robert Schuman.

These discussions would state whether there were grounds for continuing the secret Franco- German negotiations on the Saar, the Government spokesman said.
