of Wythen- Lord Simon

shawe says there is a "conspiracy of silence" to conceal from the world a threat to it more grave than that posed by the cold war or the hydrogen bomb.

The threat, he said, is the

rising birth rate. The population of the world increases by more than 88,000 every day. This means an increase of 34,000,000 a year.

In 1900 there were about 2,000,000,000 human beings on the earth. By 2000 AD there will b about 5,000,000,000.

DANGEROUS PRESSURES The world is increasing its population with no regard for the fact that few count- tries can adequately sup port new population, Lord | Simon suld. The millions of new mouths to feed and millions of new bodies to clothe
