Show s The Paper That Dares To Take A Stand In a creative, free and rightly ordered society, people solve more problems than they make. This is the source of increasing life quality. Limited government or limited people? The lack of any major relationship between population growth and the problems it supposedly causes prompted Conrad Taeuber, associate director of the U.S. Census Bureau and director of the 1970 census, to observe : Our population problem is one of tackling the agenda for improvement of our total environment. A lowered rate of population growth may facilitate the tackling of those tasks but it would be only one small element in the programs which need to be developed. cause-and-effe- ct Continued from Page 4 should dry their eyes. Economies of countries underdeveloped around the world are dependent for their survival on the income derived from this consumption. Reduce or eliminate it and we will really find out what problems are . like. It is a rote assertion of popu- lationists that per capita income ' will not keep pace, i.e we will be forced to accept lower living standards, as population increases. There is, of course, nothing in our previous economic history to inside-by-si- de it solves. From The Freeman magazine, October, 1972 Mr. Weber ii Chicago penalizing in public relation. A graduate of Loyola University with an M.A. in Urban Studies, he ii doing research for a book on U.S. growth is not a major cause of any problems. Therefore, reducing population growth through population control will not solve any problems. This is another way of saying that it is simplistic nonsense to suggest, as the report of The Commission on Population Growth and the American Future does, that increases in the quality of life buzz -t- he Commissions favorite phrase can be achieved through decreases in the quantity of people. There is no automatic, inverse relationship between people quality and people quantity. It is true,, of course, that wherever there are people there are problems. But this is a description of the human condition, not a prescription for population control. income. "Public Sector" Problems It is also said by population control promoters that growing population will outstrip the capabilities of Federal, state and local governments to provide services to the people. But, if this is really the case, it can be more readily taken as a mandate for more efficient governmental operation and greater concentration on the provision of essential governmental services rather than a rationale for population reduction. The idea of eliminating people to make things easier for government is a rather grotesque perversion of the American political promise. The the Soviet Union today is explained by some Russians as due to too little snow cover to protect last winters wheat, a dry spring, a summer drought, and heavy summer rains. Others see the crop failure as due to Marx and centralized shaking planning. Most Soviet farm machinery is poorly serviced, much, of it is in need of new parts, trucks are idle because there'are no drivers, and many farms have newly arrived trucks which will not start -- and can find no mechanics who know how to repair them. . has a poor record when it comes to eliminating problems: its answer adds up to eliminating people. In fact, one of socialisms major and chronic problems is simply people. Socialism on the one hand destroys production, and, on the other, breeds up the least desirable elements.

Thus, if relatively large numbers of people are being arrested for committing unnatural acts, the solution offered is to redefine unnatural acts as natural acts by repealing laws against unnatural acts. By rationalizing in this manner it is possible to conclude that the world has had 27 years of uninterrupted, peace since the founding of the United Nations in 1945 (which is an made have to the recommendations and demands of this report written into law, an ad hoc committee has been formed to study the report and to teach interested individuals how to express themselves regarding this and other matters to State Representatives and Senators and to the Governor.

First, the demand for silver surpassed new production for each of the last 20 year?. And for each of the last 1 1 years the demand for silver surpassed new production by more than 100 million ounces. This excess of demand over supply is exerting a strong, steady upward pressure on the price of silver. During the 1960s the price of silver rose Second, soaring federal budget deficits, record balance of payments deficits, and 37 years of inflation have brought the dollar to the brink of collapse. Harry Browne, whose book how you can profit from the comino devaluation accurately predicted the first dollar devaluation in 37 years, and the record gold prices, warns: The alternatives are narrowed to either runaway inflation or a depression. For nearly 2,600 years, since the first silver coinage, knowledgeable investors have turned to silver for financial protection because silver generally performs well in bad times. For instance, between 1932 and 1935 the depths of the Great Depression the price of silver more them tripled.
