From the Lincoln Times, Lin
colnton, N. C.: Recent surveys
have shown that the population of
the world is increasing by some
43,000,000 citizens a year. The
boom in world population began
after World War II and is contin
uing steadily.
Because there are no longer
many large areas of productive
land open for migration, and be
cause the world has shrunk and
population increased daily, a prob
lem is to be faced, eventually, con
cerning the feeding, clothing and
housing of our steadily increasing
population.
Birth rates, of course, are the
highest in under-developed coun
tries, where people are never ade
quately fed, clothed or sheltered
In fact, it is reported that more
than half the people on earth to
day are hungry.
Unless scientific and technologi
cal improvements can keep pace,
and then some, with the growing
population, millions and millions
of babies and young people will
continue to go hungry, and th
figure might even increase. This
aggravates an already pressing
population problem, especially in
countries like China and India.
All of which brings us around to
the question of outer space. There
are some who wonder why scien
tists and detense officials are
making plans to travel to outer
space. In time it may be that we
will need the undeveloped lands
or productive surface areas of
some of the planets that surround
us.
From The Independent, Fuquay
Springs, N. C.: Too many govern
ment officials display an alarming
desire to conduct public business
in private. The American Society
of Newspaper Editors and other
newspaper groups recently ap
pealed for action which might
make it more difficult for federal
officials to ignore the right of the
people to know.
The Society has urged passage
of a pending bill which would as
sure that a law passed by Con
gress 1G9 years ago cannot be used
to keep information secret today.
As might be expected, the change
is opposed by government depart
ments. In a sense this is under
standable, The ability to decide
what information should be made
public is a kind of power, and offi
cials surrender power with reluct
ance.
No reasonable person will dis
pute the necessity of keeping some
information secret. When our na
tional security is involved, most
people are willing to suspend their
right to know.
