It may take UNESCO a full century to break down present nationalistic barriers to international understanding, said Professor Ben M. Cherrington of the University of Colorado last night at a meeting in Emerson D.

Cherrington, who is a member of the national committee of UNESCO, pointed out that it would take this long to break down present nationalistic barriers. "We haven't yet developed a sense of belonging to the world community and it will take UNESCO a long time to impress this on its member nations."

UNESCO is hampered not only by all the difficulties of establishing worldwide communication of ideas, but also by a shortage of appropriations. Its world budget is only $7,500,000, while the Voice of America gets $30,000,000.

Also speaking at the meeting were Robert Smith 2G, recently elected student member of the American UNESCO committee, and Alice Gilbert, Radcliffe '49, who is the Regional Chairman of the National Student Association.

Smith outlined the ways in which UNESCO is going out to promote international understanding, and pointed out how NSA has been helping in these various fields.
