r s Poverty nations strive to close growth rate gap The Montgomery Lecture Series, this year emphasizing 'The technological gap in Latin America,'' will be presented April 17 and 18 in the Nebraska Union. The following article was written by Rich OUare, one of the conference's student organizers. One overriding fact is beginning to characterize our world today-humanity is forming into two groups-the culture of affluence and the culture of poverty. In the developed world, the per capita gross National Product (GNP) is increasing about four per cent annually. In the underdeveloped world the rate is two per cent. If present growth rates continue, 130 years would be required for the poorer contries to reach the level of per captia income which is now characteristic of the richer countries. The poorer countries would have a population of 130 billion; at the same time the per capita GNP in the developed countries would approach one million dollars. What are suitable means for closing the gap between the rich and poor countries? Science and technology are citical tools for raising the standards of living, confirming and eventually ending hunger and disease, yet checking population growth. An example of the benefits of agricultural technology is the work of Norman Borlag. Working with the Mexican wheat program of the Rockefeller foundation, Borlag discovered a kind of super-wheat that may go a long way toward solving Latin America's food shortage. The value of agricultural research should be stressed. It is estimated that investment in agricultural research over 100 years in the U.S. has had a return of 100 per cent annually. Harrison Brown, foreign secretary of the National Academy of Sciences, emphasizes the inter-relationship of problems. New crops require fertilization and irrigation. Besides research-factories, raw materials, sources of energy, social overhead capital investment and railroads are needed to coordinate specific development projects. During the past decade. Brown and the National Academy of Sciences have been working to create research councils and intitutes in underdeveloped countries , to encourage research and provide coordination for development efforts. yar r I ? 44i TEENY TINY TIGHT CURLS FROM LONDON now at H-S.
