Shapley Calls Foreign Aid Plans Insufficient

Harlow Shapley, Paine Professor of Practical Astronomy, deplored America's foreign aid program at the Boston Community Church last night. He pointed out that the United Nations spends a "grotesquely small" sum on foreign aid, while using $50 billion a year for "police activity."

"The United Nations are fighting to stop an impending World War," Shapley said. "However, we in this country aren't offering any hope to the under-privileged people in other parts of the world ... and for some of them, our enemy's philosophy has the brighter future."
