THE WORK OF UNESCO
Sir-I was deeply stirred by Dr.. Beeby’s talk on Unesco. It surely was an answer to any who would. advise us to "cut down expenses" by not sending representatives abroad. For over two centuries the more powerful nations have been busily engaged in materialistic, imperialistic aims. He showed the need in half the world-hungry, naked, sick, and illiterate-for another, kind of attention. Surely now is an opportunity to follow the words of One who said, "Whosoever would become great among you shall be your servant." If some of us are unwilling to bear our little share for altruistic reasons perhaps we can do it out of jealousy of the U.S.S,R. which in thirty years has made a flying start. Or shall we shut ourselves up, encrusted oddities, to be: an archaeological specimen when thé’ rest of the world has time to give us a look in?
