Belgium Eases
Draft in Spite Of
NAT0 Warninq
Conseription Period
Is Cut to n Months
BY Social Democrats
by the Assoeioted Press

BRUSSELS, Belgium, Aug. 49,
Belgium's conservative govern
ment decided today to reduce its
military CONSUMPTION period for
the time being from two years to
81 months.
The move will slash Belgium's S
present armed strength nearly 10
per cent and may call for a re-
vision of it's North Atlantic Treaty
Organization commitments.
The government made the an
nouncement after a six-hour cab
met huddle. 1t made clear it's de-
cision was prompted by the fail
ure of its partners in the six
nation European Defense Com
munity to heed the warning OF
their commander, Gen. Matthew
B. Ridgway, that two-year con-
scription is needed for all the
AIuteS uIlQer MN.
Legal Provision Cited.
At present France and Italy
have an 18-month period Of serv-
ice. The Netherlands requires 20
months and Luxembourg one year
The government announcement
explained that "a months will still
be the legal conscription time for
Belgium. but that "using the pow
erS given by law, the government
has decided to release conscripts
at the date at which they will
have finished 81 months training. >
The decision to maintain the
two-year principle. indicates Bel.
gium hopes it's edo partners will
move to "a months in a short time
Belgium adopted two-year con.
scription in March, 1851.
France Hesitant.
The Christian Democrat regime
-goaded by Communist and So
cialist opponents and its own fol
lowerS-announced last week
would cut conscription unless it
partners in the new European
Defense Community raised thei
training to "a months.
Experts from the six EDO ma
tions meeting in Paris yesterda,
failed to reach any decision OF
the question. mainly becaus
France was unwilling to max
any commitments. West Germany
Holland, Italy and Luxembour,
are the other members.
Belgium is committed to hav,
an infantry and an afmored di
vision ready for NATO action nov
and another division at three
quarter strength. 1t also is com
mitted to two reserve division

Potential Food Supply

thority said today.
DR.. George B. Cressey, Maxwell

the International Geographical
Union at the Hotel Statler, must

creased food yields must come
from existing agricultural land,
rather than opening new areas.
The worlds population is almost
2.5 billion, DR.. Cressey said. He
pointed out that every hour the
total increases by 3.000-each day
by 10000 people. BY the end of
the century, he said, the worlds
may be nearly 4 billion.
Land Form Maps Needed.
DR.. Cressey, a geographical
consultant to China and Russia
in the 1930s, warned that the
areas of the world where food pro-
duction can be increased do not
look promising now. One Of the
great needs, he continued, is for
proper maps of land form. While
most Of the earth is mapped as to
elevation, the complete picture is
not given. About one-fourth of
the earth is mountainous or hilly.
But, he said, food production in
existing areas will be increased
through improved seeds, ferti-
lizers and farm techniques.
The unions president declared:
Unlimited migration and a free
movement Of food are essential
III the expected population is to
be fed. It is doubtful whether
we shall soon cultivate the
Amazon and Congo basins OF

but if we do the crowded areas Of

In his sharpest attack on the
Democrats since his own nomi-

hover declared last night in a
written statement the Washington
conferences between Gov. Ste

ton leaders presented these "far-
reaching Implications:
