HARVESTING is taking place at a very rapid pace at present, all want job finished while weather is suitable. Land that received reduced fertiliser, is noticeable, in crop reduction. The government is dragging their heels and shortly half the year is gone and little meaningful actions to encourage maximum home forage production. Conference on global warming will encourage reduced crop production and leave the vulnerable to die of malnourishment or reduce population by other means.
OLDER People and the government services, many who use the pen and paper are feeling vulnerable, when dealing with government departments. Isolation and abandonment, is the general feeling of people who use traditional means of contact, when things are delayed or left without reply, they can always blame foreign recruits.

Two Day EEC Meeting End
PARIS-The meeting of the heads of the EEC governments ended here with the announcement of a number of major decisions, among them the fixing of a Regional Fund of £542 million, the abolition of the right of veto on the Council of Ministers and its replacement by what is called a “qualified majority,” direct elections to the European Parliament by 1978—and a plan to hold another “summit” meeting before the end of March next, this time in Dublin. Although some reservations were expressed on these decisions, and although agreement on the Fund came as something of an anti-climax after all the months of discussion, the talks ended amid cautious optimism on future economic co-operation among the Nine. The summit ended shortly before 11:00 o’clock Wed. and the French President, M. Giscard D’Estaing, who presided, read out the statement from the heads of government. He said that the talks have provided for other such meetings to be held three times a year and, if necessary, more often. Foreign Ministers will also meet along with heads of State. The aim of the meetings is eventual political co-ordination. The right of veto on the Council of Ministers is to be replaced by a “qualified majority”-in other words, it is hoped gradually to move away from the need for total unanimity at Council meetings. This means, of course, that the right of veto could no longer be used as a threat by any member country which feels it has a grievance. When plans were being made for the summit that has just ended, Ireland and Italy, worried over the delay in setting up the Regional Fund, threatened to veto the talks unless a decision was reached on regional aid. Another proposal arising from the two-day meeting was to have a plan for direct elections to the European Parliament ready by 1976, and to apply the direct voting system in 1978. The British and the Danes expressed reservations about this proposal. A working group was set up to establish possible union between the Nine on passports and to have a uniform passport for EEC countries with the general intention of establishing a “European Union.” The summit statement also reaffirmed the aim of economic and monetary union. It was agreed that economic policies of the Nine should converge with the aim of preventing economic recession and restoring stability. Particular emphasis was placed on the German intention to adopt in a short time the re-launching of private and public investment. CONSULTATION On employment, there is to be consultation between the member countries and the social partners such as the trade unions in the various countries. The Ministers of Labour will be meeting in the near future. In regard to energy, the statement expressed the need for greater co-operation between importing and exporting countries. The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Dr. FitzGerald, said afterwards that the’ summit had been significant on four particular counts; the adoption of a regional policy; the decision of the Germans to reflate their economy; the overcoming of the first obstacle in the efforts to ensure that British re-negotiation of terms will keep her in the community, and, finally, the improvement indicated by the French Government in American-French relations, which should provide for greater solidarity and a better chance of dealing with the Arabs on oil resources. SIGNIFICANCE The Taoiseach, Mr. Cosgrave, said that the significance of the German decision to reflate the economy could only be realised if we appreciated the fact that the German surplus of balance of payment was equivalent to the deficit of all the member countries.

By the time RTS,S was approved, vaccines for another global killer, Covid-19, had already been developed and authorized around the world—less than two years after the virus emerged.
The apparent disparities have frustrated some researchers in sub-Saharan Africa. “If the same energy and resources were directed towards malaria vaccine development as has been the case for Covid-19, then malaria could be eradicated,” wrote Damaris Matoke-Muhia, a scientist at the Kenya Medical Research Institute, in an essay for the global development site SciDev.Net last August. (At the time, she noted, malaria was killing more people on the continent than Covid-19.)
The 2022 Irish Funds Annual Global Funds Conference will take place in-person on Tuesday, 31 May at the Convention Centre Dublin.

T S Eliot; By Angelica Frey
When the inaugural issue of the prestigious literary magazine Criterion hit shelves in October 1922, it included a 434-line-long poem by a little-known American author who spent his days as a banker at Lloyd’s. T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land, with its cacophony and bleakness, encapsulated in verse the spirit of modernism, much like Stravinsky had in music with Rite of Spring in 1913.
