‘The conference’s' speakers, Adolph

reviewed the background and dis-
cussed the-current” demands and pos-
Aibilities of intra-hemisphere devel-
opment, bringing first-hand: informa-
tion as ‘well as opinion into their
talks. :
Adolph A. Berle,.professor of cor-
poration law at Columbia University
and one of the initiators of the Alli-
ance for Progress, opened. the con-
ference with a‘ discussion of Latin
America. in the’ Cold War. * Mr.
Berle urged that the coming years
will prove crucial in determining the
economic and ‘political status of the
Latin American nations. He stress-
ed. the United States’ responsibility
to aid them in programs of sanita-
ion, education,
in particular the need to make more
books expressing the western point
of view available to the public, Mr.
Berle explained that”book stores in
Latin~America/sell Soviet-printed
books almost exclusively, -because
American books are expensive and
difficult to obtain in translation.
On a more general level, Mr: Berle
urged that the United States must
articulate its position with regard to
Latin-America’in terms of its own
political values. He asked that the
country. take an ideological stand
and make it clear to its neighbors
it will defend this stand against all
threats.
Robert F.-Wooddward, former Un-
der-Secretary of State for Latin
American Affairs, gave ‘remarks: of
a general and informational ndture
on the economic needs of Latin Amer-
ica and the current development in
its “revolution.” He also ‘stressed
the need for close economic coopera-
tion between the United States. and
its neighbors.
sight into the mind of an author
creating a book. Mr. Golding’s lec-
ture, under the auspices of the Eng-
lish Department’s Ann Elizabeth
Sheble Memorial Fund, was entitled
‘Fable and Prospect.” The most
interesting part of the evening was
when Mr. Golding described the de-
‘|velopment in his own mind of the
ideas for: his best known-work, Lord
of the Flies.
Mr. Golding began with a purpose.
He had been an idealist between the
World Wars but after World War II
he felt that this idealism’ was_ in-
commensurable with the human con-.
dition and believed that the lessons
of Nazism ought to be put into a
book. The result was. Lord of the
Flies.
Mr. Golding also thrilled his audi-
ence by discussing and reading «the
first few pages of the book he is,
now writing. . The new story will

ing spire which sits on top of Salis-

Of special interest were his propo-
sals for education. -He feels the
greatest inequality suffered by those
in low income groups is the poor
quality of education available to
them. He advocates a plan which
would place educational facilities in
a position ‘similar to that “oh a pro-
ducer in the free market, JRather
than compelling a. child to” receive
his public education. at. the school
in his parti¢ular ‘district, the~ pupil
would be given a sum equal to -the
costs of education at the -district
school, which could be used only for
education, but could be used at any
school, public or private,
plan would allow students to attend
the better schools and would raise
. educational standards. For those
“schools of inferior quality to retain
students, they would be forced to
improve.
In addition to the elimination of
tariffs, Mr. Friedman advocates

Numerous other proposals such as
