...short-range solution to hunger overseas is more U.S. food, the long-range answer must be the export of technology, along with capital and brains to see that it is applied wisely. The rest of the world needs to catch up with the mechanization and efficiency of U.S. farms. Half the world's tractors operate in North America. California rice growers have gone so far as to plant, fertilize and spray their crops entirely from planes. A single U.S. farm worker now feeds 37 people, nearly twice as many as he did only a decade ago. And despite rising...
...once displayed the wisdom of Solomon, these groups agreed on a simple solution that by 1970 will forever end the threat of pollution at Lake Tahoe. A mammoth disposal plant (6,000,000 gallons' capacity) will filter the waste to the acceptable standard for drinking water, and three export pipelines will be constructed to carry the "effluents," as the processed waste is called, over the mountains and out of the Tahoe Basin completely. Pollution control will cost $40 million; but besides keeping Tahoe true blue, it will also provide much needed irrigation for Nevada's desert lands...

These and other agreements virtually complete the creation of what the French call Europe verte (a green Europe), which will formally sprout on July 1, 1968, the date when the last industrial tariffs among the Six are also scheduled to disappear...

Canada might export even more, but many of its tariff-protected industries remain inefficient by U.S. standards, pay their employees less than similar U.S. workmen earn, and suffer a worrisome brain drain to the south...
...satisfied with the way Ongania was setting about the task of rebuilding the inflation-ridden, strife-torn nation. This week Ongania is expected to announce a series of "directives" spelling out a program of austerity and reform. Reports say they will include a sharp cutback on state employment, special export credits to stimulate foreign trade, more public housing, complete overhaul of Illia's disastrous oil policy that forced Argentina to import petroleum for the first time in years, and reorganization of the country's food-distribution system to eliminate middlemen and help blunt the cost-of-living spiral...
