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."
