Abstract: At the conclusion of the First General Conference of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization held in Paris during November and December, 1946, over one hundred proposals had been formulated for consideration during 1947, several of which were enumerated as being pressing projects for the current year. Problems requiring immediate attention included 1) rehabilitation in devastated areas, 2) a wide-spread attack on the problem of illiteracy, 3) a study of psychological and social tensions likely to lead to war, 4) a concerted effort in conjunction with the Commission of Human Rights of the United Nations to reduce obstructions to the free flow of information, 5) the study of a possible international broadcasting network, and 6) the proposed creation of the International Institute of the Amazon in order to deal with problems of that tropical area. For these and other projects it was emphasized that exchange of students, scholars, scientists and media of information was necessary and should be forthcoming.
