Anderson criticizes
Carter's position on
Israeli settlements
JERUSALEM (-AP)-Independent
presidential candidate John Anderson
criticized the Carter administration's
position on West Bank settlements
yesterday, and said the president
should strengthen the U.S. naval
presence in the Persian Gulf area.
In a speech delivered at a dinner
hosted by Justice' Minister Shmuel
Tamir, Anderson 'continued the
criticism he began Tuesday of
President Carter's stance on Israeli
settlements in occupied Arab
territories.
AT A NEWS conference before the
dinner, Anderson also called on Mary
Crisp, who will not seek re-election as
co-chairman of the Republican
National Committee, to join his in-
dependent presidential campaign.
Crisp recently criticized Republican
presidential candidate Ronald Reagan
on women's rights issues and praised
Anderson for his independent bid for
the presidency.
"The United States is in error when it
elevates settlements to the status of
being the major obstacle to the suc-
cess of the autonomy talks," Anderson
said.
Anderson was referring to talks bet-

ALTHOUGH ANDERSON did not
take a firm position on the settlement
issue, .he implied his own criticism
Tuesday when he told reporters that he
felt many Americans were concerned
that "any settlement activity be strictly
limited to the security of Israel."
In his speech last night, Anderson
also urged a strengthening of the U.S.
naval presence in the Persian Gulf area
"to underscore . . . that the world
economy must be assured against a
cataclysm that may arise from hostile
activity in this area."
The problem of the Middle East
"would appear less severe if the West
were less dependent on the Persian
Gulf for much of its oil," he added.
ANDERSON CALLED Crisp a

World population grows
as rate Of increase slows
WASHINGTON (AP)-The world
population continues to grow,
especially in Africa, although the global
rate of growth has slowed in the last
five-year period, the U.S. Census
Buresu reported yesterday.
Worldwide, the report states, "the
trend in the global population growth
rate-has been generally downward in
recent years, the growth rate having
declined from about 2.1 per cent in 1965-
70 to 1.7 per cent in 1975-79."
DURING THE SAME period, the
growth rate for Africa increased from
2.5 per cent to 2.9 per cent, highest in
the world, the report disclosed. By
comparison, Latin America had a 2.4
per cent growth rate in the 1975-79
period, while the rate was 1.9 per cent
in Asia, 1.1 per cent in Oceania, 0.8 per
cent in North America and 0.6 per cent
in Europe. Oceania includes Australia
and islands in the South Pacific.
Earlier, in 1965-70, the growth rate in
Latin America was 2.7 per cent; that of
Asia was 2.5 per cent; Oceania, 2 per
cent; North America, 1.1 per cent; and
Europe, 0.8 percent.
The report notes that, while
population growth rates have declined
in most parts of the world, the absolute
number of people being added yearly to
the world's total has not declined. That
is because the lower growth rate is ap-
plied to an ever-larger base population.
THE REPORT FOCUSES on the 87
countries with populations of five
million or more. These countries con-
tain 97 per cent of the world's
population.
The world's most populous nation, the
report finds, is mainland China with
more than one billion people. Howbver,
the authors stress there are still uncer-
tainties about the quality and accuracy
of population information from China.
India was ranked second with 667
million. The Soviet Union was third
with 263 million followed by the United
States at 221 million and Indonesia at
148 million.
The continued high growth rate in
Africa is occuring "primarily because
birthrates are not declining in Africa as
they are in other places. Because the
birthrates are more or less steady and
death rates are declining, that means
an increase in the population growth
rate," explained Ellen Jamison, chief
of the bureau's International
Demographic Analysis Branch.
She noted that "in many places in
Latin America and Asia there is much
wider use of family planning methods
than in Africa."
"Also, in some African countries, fer-
tility will increase before it decreases
because of improving health con-
ditions," Jamison added.
