birth control
TOKYO - China, the world's
most populous nation, says it is1
successfully limiting growth by
following the birth control ad-
vice of the late Mao Tse-tung
and not his disgraced widow.
Neighboring India, the second
most populous nation, mean-
while is abandoning a steriliza-
tion program under political
pressures.
THE CHINESE rate of popu-1
lation growth "has gone down
year by year since 1965 necause
of the promotion of birth con-
trol," Hsinhua, the official Chi-
nese news agency, said over the
weekend.
It said annual growth rates of
2.5 per cent in Hopei and Kiang-
su provinces in 1965 had dropped
to around one per cent, while
the populous cities of Shanghai
and Peking showed rates below
0.6 per cent.
The agency gave no figures
for China as a whole. No exact
figure has been given on China's
ponulation, but Hsinhua and
other publications usually set it
at 800 million.
HSINHUA SAID China's-late
Communist Chairman Mao Tse-
tung "paid great attention to
family planning. He pointed out
that mankind should control its
population, which shouli grow
in a planned manner."
It said the late Premier Chou
En-la often offered advice to
workers in the field cf birth
control and maternity care and
noted that Hua Ko-feng, the
present party chairman, had
issued many important diec-
tives on the subject.
The agency accused former
president Liu Shao-chi, late de-
fense minister Lin Piao and the
so-called "Gang of Four" led
by Mao's widow, Chiang Ching,
of spreading "feudal, bourgeois
and revisionist views no mar-
riage and childbirth."
Chiang Ching, it said, "even
opposed the use of films to pub-
licize late marriage, birth con-
trol and related sicentific knowl-
edge."

KHARTOUM, The Sudan-The
Presidents of Egypt, Syria and
Sudan yesterday signed a joint

"This is the nucleus of a great

fronting the challenges facing
the Arab nation," Syrian Presi-
dent Hafez Assad said.
THE DECLARATION "af-

tion of the Arab nation, to pre-

tali-one of the most vocal cri-
tics of the white government-
on charges of failing to inform
on guerrillas or urging others
to do so.
THE 65-YEAR-OLD Northern
Ireland-born bishop will not go
behind bars, however. The gov-
ernment -decided to deport him
in what was officially called an
effort to deny Lamont "spec-
tacular martyrdom."
The Dilemma the missionaries
face when guerrillas come to
them for food or medicine is
not just a moral one.
A magistrate in the garrison
town of Umtali who recently
sentenced two black Catholic
clerics to a year in jail each for
not informing on "terrorists"
sirrned up the missionaries'
plight:
"If they complied with the
law, they were at the mercy of
the terrorists. And if they didn't
they would be punished by the
courts."

By the time
we're old enough to
have children, we've
been thoroughly sold
on the idea.
By our parents,
our grandparents,
our friends and
neighbors, the media,
everyone.
It's hard to
remember we ever
had a choice in the
first place.
But there is a
choice. Having a
child is a tremendous
responsibility and
an important decision.
Probably the most
important decision
we'll ever make.
And once it's
made, it can never
be undone.
Just remember...
you do have a choice.
So think about it,
and do what's right
for you.
