UnitedNations,N.Y.,June30.-Apriest expertonsocialactionhascriticisedarecentUnitedNationspublicationonworld populationgrowthas"highlyunrealistic"in itsforecasting,unscientificinmanyconclusionsand"morallybankrupt"inpolicyrecommendations.
Mgr.WilliamF.Kelly,directoroftheSocialAction DepartmentoftheBrooklyudiocese,gavethisopinioninareviewoftheU.N.SocialAffairsBureau estimateentitled"TheFutureGrowthofWo-rld Population."Thedemographicstudywasmadeat therequestoftheU.N.EconomicandSocialCouncil.
"Admittedly,thephenominalriseintheworld population,estimatedin1952atapproximately,two andone-halfbillion,shouldbeacauseforserious concern,"Mgr.Kellystated."Allthemore,since populationexpansionisgreatestintheworld'smost underprivilegedandleastdevelopedlands."
"However,"hecautioned,"themathematicalprojectionscontainedinthisstudyclaimingthat'the worldpopulationmayrisetofourormorebillion by1980andtosixtosevenbillionbytheendof thecentury'arehighlyunrealistic.
"Mistakesinpopulationforecastshavenotbeen uncommoninthepast.Mostnotablewasthe1946 U.S.CensusBureauunder-estimationofthe1955 censusas150million,when,infact,itturnedout tobe167million.Otherprojectionshaveerredby over-estimatingpopulationgrowth.
"Whenthisreportclaimsthat'in600yearsthe numberofhumanbeingsonearthwillbesuchthat therewillbeonlyonesquaremeterforeachtolive on,'itseemstoleavetherealmofscientificcertainty."
"Thisviewseemstobeborneoutbythereport's admissionofpreviouserrorsinpopulationsbyUnited Nationsstatistics,"Mgr.Kellycontinued.
"Itwas,forexample,necessaryto'revisethepredictionofworldpopulationfor1951and1954,mainly becauseofthe1953populationcensusontheChina Mainland(RedChina).'
"U.N.demographicstudiesin1948hadpredictedthe 1953totalpopulalionofbothcommunistandnationalist(Taiwan)Chinawouldbe463million, whereasinRedChinaalone,inthatyear,therewere 583millionpeople."
ThenewU.N.studyconcedesthat"allfiguresare admittedlysubjecttofurtherrevisionbecauseof newfiguresandchangingconditionsaffectingpopulationgrowth.
"Hence,wherecantherebecertitudeforitspresentprojections?"Mgr.Kellyasked.
Thereisnojustification,either,accordingtoMgr. Kelly,forthestudy'sdismissingas"merelytransitory"theeffectsofsuchmajorcatastrophesaswars, famines,epidemics,andeconomicdepressionsonretardingpopulationgrowth-especiallyinanatomic age.
Thepriestobservedalsoafailuretoallowfora possibledropinthebirthrateinthosebackward areaswhichwillbeorarenow,intheprocessofbecomingindustrialised.
"Itispossiblethattheirpopulationtrendsmay followthesamepatternasthemoreadvancedWesternnationswherethebirthratehasbeendeclining (withtemporaryrises)sincethecloseofthelast century,"hesaid.

Mgr.Kellycommented:

UnitedNations,N.Y.,July5.-Theproblemsposedbythegrowingworldpopulation, intermsofhumanmiseryandhunger,demandtheseriousattentionofallthinking observers,according Kelly,directorofthe mentoftheBrooklyn Catholics particularly, Mgr.Kellyfeels,shouldbe muchmoreawareofthese problems,whichdemanda positiveandconstructive solution.
Asamatteroffact,he recalled,thematerialand moralproblemsoccasioned bypopulationgrowthwere recognisedbythedelegates totheWorldCongressof theLayApostolateinRome lastOctoberasoneofthe majorquestionsfacing"the membersoftheChurchin achangingworld."
Mgr.Kellywentontoindicatehisrespectforthe scientificapproachofthe variousdemographerswhose studiesareembodiedinthe recentUnitedNationsreport on"TheFutureGrowthof WorldPopulation,"astudy compiledattherequestof theU.N.Economicand SocialCouncil.
Inaspecialinterview, Mgr.Kellywelcomedthe occasiontocorrectrecent pressreportsofadiscussionwhichhesayswas quotedoutofcontext.
Contrarytogeneralisationsattributedtohim, Mgr.Kellybelievesthat studiessuchasthecurrent U.N.reportareextremely helpfulinhighlightingthe gravityoftheproblemand shouldbeexaminedinrelationtootherpertinent mattersofnationalandinternationalconcernlike foreignaid,tradeandimmigrationpolicies.
Thislateststudyresults inaconsiderableupward revisionofestimatesof worldpopulationgrowth becauseofnewerdataand bettercalculatingmethods, Mgr.Kellynoted.
