It is quite possible that present processes of
population growth and economic, cultural and
political change will lead to
a
more or Jess
permanent division of the world into the cul-
tures of the rich and the poor. But it is also
possible that man will mobilize his genius to
the end of creating a world in which
all
people
can live their lives free from fears of hunger,
disease and poverty. From
a
purely technolo-
gical point of view, if not from a social and
political one, we know he can do this.
Clearly, everything possible should be done
to stimulate the economic growth of the poor
countries, but it is important that we appreciate
that economic and social development and
population growth be divorced from each
other.

Aujourd’hui comme hier, plus qu’hier peut-
Ctre, des hommes et des femmes quittent leur

pays d’origine pour vivre et travailler ailleurs,

UNTA
is granted through various channels and
from different funds by the United Nations
and its agencies to countries in need of it. The
first 15 years (1950
to
1964)
of
such activities
materializing in about one billion dollar worth
of
aid
to
about
a
hundred countries have been
subjected to a close analysis in the present
book. It sets the aim
to
review all the channels
and forms
of
assistance, all the funds and
countries concerned during the
15
years, with
a view to (a) presenting precise economic and
political evaluations; (b) casting light on the
underlying trends
of
u
NTA
policy; (c) analysing
the relevant rules
of
participation; (d) evalu-
ating the contribution of socialist countries to
UNTA
programmes; (e) examining the moti-
vation of the apparently ‘great’ sacrifices
of
the leading capitalist powers participating in
the enterprise.

DUBOS,
R.,
Only
One Earth:
The care and maintenance
of
a
small
planet,
London (Andre Deutsch Ltd.), 1972, 304,
index.
The authors start by outlining the frame work
of the physical law that governs the working
of the universe. They emphasize the accelera-
tion in population (Part
IV,
item ii) and man’s
capacity for interfering with the environment.
The book was commissioned by the secretary
General of the United Nations Conference
on
human environment in order to provide a
factual background and conceptual frame-
work for the conference meetings. About
150
correspondents from fifty countries and from
practically all branches of learning were avail-
able as advisers and commented on the text.
But
the actual writing is done by the authors,
it is not committee work.
