Conventional Keynesian economics no longer suffice in this context. Research 

 and development must be given highest priority, nationally and interna- 

 tionally, and new patterns of investment must be created. This will require 

 international attitudes of solidaritj^ and communal action policies to balance 

 inequities in life quality for the benefit of V^oth developed and developing 

 nations. Cooperation in resource expansion and conservation, technological 

 development, food production, birth control and trade relationships, to name 

 a few major areas, is essential. An international partnership is a minimum 

 condition for the survival of modern industrial civilization."
