The Furtherance of Economic Development

In 1961 the General Assembly declared the 1960's to be the UN Development Decade and called for intensified efforts to accelerate progress toward self-sustaining growth. During 1965, designated International Cooperation Year, the United Nations is to take stock of the progress made thus far. Next to peace and security, which are preconditions for progress in all fields, international cooperation to promote economic and social development of the less developed countries now holds the highest priority for United Nations action.

The Journal and 1965

Abstract Abstract Next year will be a notable one for New Zealand earth scientists. Besides the triennial New Zealand Science Congress of the Royal Society of New Zealand (Auckland, February), there will be held in this country several meetings of international organisations closely associated with geology and geophysics. These include the Third World Conference on Earthquake Engineering in January, part of the Eighth Commonwealth Mining and Metallurgical Congress (in Wellington in April, after meetings in Australia), and a Symposium of the International Association of Volcanology (Auckland and Wellington, November and December). The year 1965 will also see the initiation of UNESCO'S International Hydrological Decade, and has been designated by the United Nations as an “International Cooperation Year” in which scientific organisations (among others) have been invited to take part.

The International Hydrological Decade

Work toward establishing a program of international cooperative studies in scientific hydrology began about 4 years ago, and the IHD (International Hydrological Decade) will begin under international auspices in January 1965. This program will be highly important for hydrology and hydrologists, and it should contribute greatly to human welfare in the future. Fortuitously, the opening year coincides with International Cooperation Year of the United Nations Organization. American participation in the program will contribute to the purpose avowed by the President [Johnson, 1964] in a commencement address at Holy Cross early in June 1964: “to dedicate this year to finding new techniques for making Man's knowledge serve Man's welfare. Let this be a year of science.”
