Pascoe. 1The problemn of world food shortages was the main sub- ject of Mr. Wadswort's speech, wbich included a f resentation of sldes taken roma trip to China two years ago. The Toronto bank chairman wbo just recently bougbt a farm sQutb of Enniskillen gave an acknowledgment of theý audience's agricultural experience, "Many of you bave forgot- ten more about the subjeet than I will ever know," be said. He went on to give a broad .view of the problem of world food shortages as it was related to agriculture.

From 1969 to 1970, total acres of land in Canada that were used to produce wbeat dropped from 24 million to 12 million acres as the resuit of a government programn, he said. The drop in- Canada's wheat production at that time only increased the tension wben grain production dropped by 35 million tons in 197? after the bad weather, hie added. Canadians are faced with the question of how Canada will meet the world-wide demand for increased food production withln the next 25 years, Mr. Wadsworth said. Parts of Asia and North West Africa are approaching the limits of land available for agricultural use, hie said, and are faced* with the problem titat even available land is yielding smaller, amounts of cro pS ?cood production itself is not the only factor that influences demauld for food, lie con- tinued. "The world's population, now about 31/ billion, will be around seven billion by 2000 and about 85 per cent of current annual population in- crease is ind eveloping countries.'" 'Mr. Wadswortb aise, ques- tioned the policy of, developed countries giving food aid to develojping countries without conditions attached. Althougb Canada bas a special role to fulfill in supplying food aid to needy countrieslbe also said that a noted Canadian agrologist was onlyi in favour of giving food aid, to countries that stressed agricultural dev elop-, ment and population control. The rel ationshîp. of in- dustrial and housing develop- ments toagricultural land in Ontario would alsô bave a bearing 'on the problema of world food shortages, be stated. "Almost haîf, of the 10 million acres of first class land in Canada is in Ontario and it's this land tbat's under the greatest pressure for housing, airports, roads, in- dustry, and so on." Mr. Wadswortb concluded bis comments on the world food shortage problem by asking, "Arn I my brother's keeper?" "Are we Canadians suf- ficiently concerned about our fellow men to bear tbe cests over, the short termi 50 tbat long-term solutions can be found to the world's bunger and malnutrition problems? "The ability of Canada and the other developed countries teodue-in ecess of tlieir needs to meet , the f ood requirements of the less fortunate countries in the world and to assist in tbeir agricultural development, is not limited by our agricultural resources. But it may well be restricted by our moral re- sources."

In a slde presentation by the Chairman and Chief E xecutive Officer of the ~anaditan Imperial Bank of Commerce, Mr. J. Page R. Wadsworth, the gathering was shown a number of patients undergoing operations using the Chinese technique of acupuncture as the only form of anaesthetic. The sldes were sbown in the latter part of Mr. Wadswort's description of a two-week trip be made to the People's Republîc of China two years ago. As a representative of the Canadian, Imperial Bank of Commerce, he wâs mainly interested in resolving a misunderstanding that had developed between the Bank of China and the Commerce Bank, he said. But during bis stay in the country, Mr. Wadswortb said he was relatively free to move around on the tour that be was given. "One could not fail to be impressed by the attitude of ,many that we met, particular- ly in the field of agriculture," be said. Earlier in bis speech, Mr. Wadswortb commented on the prohlem of world food short- ages and how tbey were related to agriculture i Canada. Between the two major communist countries of the Soviet Union and China there is augreat difference in the attitude that eacb bas toward agriculture, he said. In China, industry bas been decentralized and along with organizations like universities bas spread out into the countrysîde, he said. The reason for the de- centralization, was an attempt to have industrial and edu- cationalfacilities "fit in and be a part of the area, so the workers and their familles Durham iRegion Tuberculosis Assoc.
