Yeutter attacked a suggestion by
United Nations Ambassador Andrew
Young hat world hunger problems could
be solved ia 10 years with American aid
as "simplistic".

Yeutter discounted predictions that
the world population explosion is out of
control and would soon outstrip food
supplies. '
"Those kinds of judgements are
absolutely meaningless," Yeutter said, '
"Its a function cf politics."
"No government is going to let
population get totally out of hand
because -if it gets out of hand the
government is going to fall. Governments
don't like to fall." '
He also said that world income
distribution needs to be readjusted.
Purchasing power "is the essential
problem in countries that have
malnutrition or starvation questions
before them," he said.
Improving the purchasing power of
underdeveloped nations "really means
we are . talking about economic
development," he said.
"The alternative to spurring economic
development is philanthropy. Cut that's
not a good long term solution." ' : "
He advocated the use cf a "generalized
system of preferences" which would gifa
underdeveloped cations special trade
privileges to spur economic growth.

On the supply side of the
supply-demand equation, Yeutter ssld
that agricultural yields could still be
' .ssEproved, despite the recent slowdown ia
agricultural research.
"If we simply take present technology .
and do a better job of applying it, we caa '
Increase yields," he said." '
