If the gap is not to widen, if undernourished peoples are ever to achieve Western standards, there must be a process of economic development inside the poorer countries so that increased industrialization will create a market for increased farm production...
...gift from outsiders, that it can only be achieved by prolonged effort and by investing the fruits of today's self-denial in tomorrow's production. This, though no one in Rome last week dared say it in so many words, is the first battle that must be won in Binay Sen's fight against hunger...

The gas must be so hot (at least 4,000° F.) that it destroys many structural materials. Another problem is the poor conductivity of most gases...
