. . . Are Surmounted

The difficulty becomes all the greater, when one gets away from abstraction, and considers the twin purposes with which UNESCO was founded; for while the programme was aimed at carrying the world inheritance of education, science and culture the total population of the world, in the faith that these things were ends in themselves, yet it was all to be done in the cause of "international understanding," of world peace. Now the twins don't necessarily run all the while in double harness. Take a long view, by all means; but remember that you have to get the governments of fifty or sixty member states to take a long view as well. Remember also that the USSR has never been a member state, and that the rest" of us are all by definition the hired lackeys of American Imperialism. I should perhaps add on that theme that in my experience, the lackeys have not, been nearly worthy of their, hire; they have really been remarkably insubordinate, independent and intransigent.
