Editorial Page In Our Opinion Mother earth faces Big population strain
The United Nations Demographic Yearbook shows 65 million more people in mid-1967 than 1966, lifting world population to 3.42 billion. At 1.9 percent growth, the world could double by 2006, straining water, land, and resources. Udall warns engineers cannot double-deck forests or seashores, so open spaces and clean air are vital. Developing nations drive the runaway population, and rich nations must aid two-thirds world uplift or face trouble.

Washington reports that Ho Chi Minh may have outsmarted himself by accepting large quantities of superior weapons from Moscow. The shift forces his armies toward conventional tactics and dependence on large supply dumps, weakening guerrilla strength and boosting U.S. and South Vietnamese capacity to train local units.
