It often happens in such cases that those who give cannot understand the resentment of those who receive, and that is liable to become a source of regrettable misunderstanding between them.

The donor countries would then know the satisfaction of anonymity, while the beneficiaries would appreciate their tact, disinterest and discretion. The two sides will draw closer when they feel that such give and take is normal behaviour in members of the same human family.
