we
say
to
you
this suffering
can
be and
must
be stopped.
when
all
of
us,
in
the rich
and
poor
countries,
make
up our
minds
to stop
i
we can
stop
it.
The
earth
is
ruled
mainly
by people
o ut
of
touch
with
the
young
world.
They
know
that
men
starve
and die
in
millions,
but they
think
it
more
important
to
riake
guns
and
bombs,
to send
us
to fight
one
another,
than
to
provide
food
and
watei
schools
and hospitals,
so that
we might
feed
and serve
one
another.
If
you
live
in
a
poor
country,
demand
enough
food for
your
countrJrmen.
Do
not
turnyour
backson the people
who provide
food:
instead,
work
with
them

If you
are educate
d
in
special
knowledge
and
skills, remember
that
science
and
technology
that
can
se-nd
men
into
space,
need
only to
be released
into poor
countries
to
work
even
greater
miracles.
If
you-are
a
parent,
resolve
to
end
the sufferings
of
children.
I(now,

the
size
of
your
family,
so
that
the progress
ofall
is
notendangered.
Let
us
make
it
plain
to
the rulers
that
the
division
of the
world
into rich
and
poor
must
end. The
many
billions
spent
on
armaments
must
be
spent
to
develop
the
world.
Let
them know,
too,
that
if
f
y:3:^ltnancial
systems
prevent
a
just
distribution
of
flod
and wealth,
these
systems must
De
replaced.
Above
all we
must
show our willingness

work
for

development.
Mankind
