Twenty years of United States Governments Programs in cultural relations, ene. 1959

Abstract

This paper presents the highlights of twenty years of United States government activity in cultural relations with other countries. The reader is referred also to Francis J. Colligan's article Twenty Years After: Two Decades of Government- Sponsored Cultural Relations, appearing in the Department of State Bulletin, July 21, 1958. To do full justice to the subject, there is needed a definitive study of the aims of government programs, the assumptions on which they are based, and their relation to private effort. We have attempted here to present some thoughts that might stimulate such a comprehensive work.
