Dear Mr. Kofi A. Annan,
　　 Mr. Trent Lott,
　　 Mr. Denny Hastert,

There are more dangerous issues than before in which explosion of nukes' test would handle some uncountable crisis in the world.

Tokyo ---
A new political appointee at Japan's Defense Ministry appeared yesterday to stir up a hornet nest by suggest parliament should debate whether to abandon the nation's decades-old ban on nuclear weapons.

"Parliament needs to discuss whether perhaps it is better for Japan to arm itself with nuclear weapons," Shingo Nishimura, one of two parliamentary vice ministers appointed earlier this month to back up the defense minister, said in an interview published in the Japanese weekly Playboy, which has no editorial connection to the U.S. version.

South Korean missile explodes before hitting designated target

SEOUL ---
A South Korean ground-to-air missile prematurely exploded before hitting a pre-designated target during a firing demonstration but there were no casualties, the Defense Ministry said yesterday.

The accident, the second of its kind in less than a year, occurred during a firing demonstration at Daechon on the nation's west coast Tuesday afternoon, said ministry officials.

Fragments from the exploded Nike Hercules missile broke several windows in a village nearby, they said.

The demonstration was part of programs to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of South Korea's Armed Forces on October 1, the officials said.

One ministry official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the missile appeared to have exploded automatically after its built-in sensors detected malfunctions in its system.

A similar Nike Hercules missile automatically exploded in mid-air after being misfired from an army unit in Inchon, west of Seoul, in December last year. That accident injured six people and damaged dozens of houses and more than 110 vehicles.

The American-made Nike Hercules missiles are some of the oldest in the arsenal of the South Korean military. The Seoul government plans to replace them with new modern missiles.

North Korea has significant nuclear ability, U.S. reports

WASHINGTON ---
North Korea would be able to produce a "significant number" of nuclear weapons each year if it renounced a nuclear freeze it agreed to in 1994, according to an official report.

The report, prepared by former Defense Secretary William Perry, also said that that in the event of an outbreak of war on the Korean Peninsula, the intensity of the combat "would be unparalleled in U.S. experience" since the Korea War.

Perry's report was released one year after he assumed his duties a special adviser to President Clinton and Secretary of State Madeleine Albright on North Korea.

Some key recommendations by Perry were implemented last month in advance of the report's release.

After North Korea pledged to forgo testing of long-range missiles, Clinton eased trade, banking and travel restrictions against that country, the most significant gestures toward Pyonyang in almost half a century.

The report said a North Korean move to restart its nuclear program at Yongbyon, frozen since 1994, would be its "quickest and surest path" to acquisition of nuclear weapons.

Without the 1994 Agreed Framework, as the bilateral agreement is known, "it is estimated that the North could reprocess enough plutonium to produce a significant number of nuclear weapons per year," the study said.

It said the limitations of the agreement, such as the fact that it does not verifiably freeze all nuclear-weapons related activities and does not cover ballistic missiles, are best addressed by supplementing rather than replacing the agreement.

As for the specter of a new Korean War, the report said "it is likely that hundreds of thousands of persons --- U.S., South Korean, North Korean --- military and civilian --- would perish and millions of refugees would be created."

"While the U.S. and South Korea of course have no intention of provoking war, there are those in North Korea who believe the opposite is true," the report said.

For about bacteria theory, many kinds of bacteria flora, existed in our body after birth. In average time of living condition, it keeps in balance of count number.

Nevertheless, a few of powerful bacteria grew up too fast to control up others bacteria tolerant balance that the competition of survival press would become to be a serious genocide.

In our views, how to control the population is the most issues of world. Poor countries and less developed area reveal high tendency of birth rate. If high population added nuke's weapons that would threat to peaceful condition.

Under theory of defense mechanism, human always loss of control over food shortage. The crisis would explode by the way of poor and high population's area. Clearly, the most dangerous factor is inducing into nuke's poor countries.

The first predicament is the uneven distribution of numbers of people in different regions of the world, seriously impeding the fulfillment of the basic demands of human beings. The population of Asia, Africa and Latin America accounts for 85 percent of the world population of 6 billion. In addition, these three continents have the highest fertility rate and the shortest current life expectancy, and are relatively poorer and less developed. There are approximately 1.3 billion people living below the poverty line, and 900 million going hungry, most of whom dwell on these three continents.

The second predicament is the extreme disparity between the rich and the poor regions. It will be the cause of fierce confrontation if is not dealt with in time. During the three decades from 1960 to 1993, the poverty gap widened from US$5,700 to US$15,000, which is almost three times as much. It is reported that the average yearly personal income of the poorest country in 2020 will be only US$325, while the figure in the industrialized countries will be US$40,000. During the past three decades, the proportion of the income of the poorest 20% of the world population dropped from 2.3% to 1.4%, while that of the richest 20% rose from 70% to 85%. This disparity is not only unfair but also inhumane.

Jiang says population is his main problem

LONDON, Oct. 18 ---
PRC President Jiang Zemin vowed on Monday to focus on economic development and open mainland China wider to the outside world, but said his biggest problem was the country's large population.

Jiang was answering written and verbal questions from the London Times newspaper ahead of his visit to Britain this week --- the first by a mainland Chinese head of state.

He spoke of more positive relations with the United States since they hit a low over NATO's bombing of Beijing's embassy in Belgrade and said Beijing would enter talks with the Dalai Lama, subject to his acceptance of conditions including Tibet being a permanent part of mainland China.

Jiang said Beijing would ultimately resolve the question of Taiwan by adhering to the policy of peaceful reunification and one country, two systems" used to secure the return of Hong Kong and Macau.

"We do not undertake to renounce the use of force, but this is by no means directed at our compatriots in Taiwan. It is directed at those foreign forces trying to interfere in China's reunification," he said.

He signalled that he saw the economic development of communist China in a very long-term way.

"In the past 50 years, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, we have made a lot of achievements," he said.

"But when you divide these achievements by our 1.25 billion population, the figure becomes really small ... The biggest problem I'm facing at the moment is the large population of China."

Jiang stressed the importance of mainland China's transition from a planned to market economy. "China will follow the rules of a market economy," he said.

He said key objectives for mainland China by the middle of the next century were to "achieve modernization by and large" and to become a strong, prosperous, democratic and culturally advanced socialist country."

"We will continue to focus on economic development, deepen reform, open the country wider to the outside world and develop a socialist market economy ...," he said.

Jiang said the NATO attack on Beijing's embassy in Belgrade during the Kosovo war had caused "grave damage" to relations between Beijing and Washington but he had a "positive and constructive" meeting with U.S. President Bill Clinton last month that was very important in improving ties.

He said Beijing had done much to modernize Tibet, saying: "We put in two billion yuan (US$241.6 million) every year."

He believed many young people in Tibet were more interested in such development than old causes.

Jiang said Beijing would enter talks with the Dalai Lama on two conditions --- his acceptance of Tibet as a permanent part of China and that Taiwan was also part of the country.

At the last words, that giving deliberately concern about the population and nuclear weapon's problems could hold the way of world's stability.
