As the UN looks toward the beginning of its Second Development
Decade, it faces a time of enormous challenge and enormous opportunity.
1. We can only guess at the new scientific discoveries the
70s may bring, but we can see with chilling clarity the
gap that already exists between the world's developed and
its developing economies -- and the urgent need for
international cooperation in spurring economic development.
2. If, in the course of that Second Development Decade, we
can make both significant gains in food production and
significant reductions in the rate of population growth,
we shall have opened the way to a new era of splendid
prosperity.
(1) If we do only one without the other, we shall
be standing still.
(2) If we fail in both, great areas of the world will
face human disaster.
3. Increasingly, the task of protecting man's environment is
a matter of international concern.
(1) Pollution of air and water, upsetting the balance
of nature -- these are not only local problems,
and not only national problems, but matters that
affect the basic relationship of man to his planet.
