them absolutely unrestricted travel to all countries: these 

 passports could include details of the qualifications of the 

 bearers, and would constitute proof of their capabilities 

 and unbiased outlook. If this idea were made effective, 

 the consequent increase in general respect for scientifically 

 trained individuals might well lead to many more making 

 visits to other countries, with direct benefit to such coun- 

 tries. The abolishment of national trade restrictions (duties) 

 on all kinds of goods, is essential to the attainment of 

 a distribution of goods to meet the requirements of all 

 countries. The retaining of artificial trade barriers merely 

 encourages ineflBciency in the production of goods, since 

 if one nation cannot produce a particular commodity as 

 cheaply as another can produce the same commodity of 

 equal quality, the former nation should endeavor to re- 

 duce its production costs to enable its products to compete 

 with those of the latter in free world trade. 



The construction of adequate primary sources of elec- 

 trical power everywhere in the world is a preliminary step 

 towards the raising of the standard of living of all coun- 

 tries, especially the presently backward ones. Such pri- 

 mary power sources should be considered for their long-term 

 usefullness and ability to generate power at the lowest 

 possible cost; they should be located at the best positions 

 within each country for supplying the needs of the popu- 

 lation. The chief types of power source would be hydro- 

 electric plants, nuclear (fission) reactors, and direct solar 

 energy converters. A detailed survey of all available pos- 

 sible sites for large power sources should be carried out 

 first throughout the world. 



Following on with the present World Health Organi- 

 zation malaria eradication campaign, similar campaigns 

 should be planned and put into operation for each of the
