...take the question of U. S. aid to underdeveloped countries. In the search for a generalization, Mr. Beecher has assumed some sort of a cause and effect relationship between military aid and what he is pleased to call the appearance of military dictatorships. It is enough to cite the example of Burma which was not receiving military aid to refute this. Nor is a change in the form of government peculiar to underdeveloped countries.

...Said a resolution signed by 22 of Belgium's top museum directors and art teachers: "Often in the course of its history Belgium has had to witness, powerless, the destruction or pillage of its artistic patrimony. Once more, and this time without being able to cite the accident of bombardment or the whim of an invader, our country has just been dispossessed of an inestimable treasure, of the most important work in a Belgian private collection...
