In all the excitement over the October. 1962, crisis in Cuba.many Americans apparently missed the fact that the President of theUnited States paid an appalling price for the Russian promise todismantle the Cuban missile bases.

Nearly all the newspapers canied headlines such as "KhrushchevBacks Down," or "]FK Gets Russian Accord." Down in the smallprint-which too few people read�was the shocking disclosure thatPresident Kennedy had made two commitments to Khrushchev whichCuban freedom �ghters could scarcely believe:

_ 1. A personal guarantee by the President that the United Stateswould not attempt to liberate Cuba.

2. A personal guarantee by the President that the United Stateswould not allow any other Western Hemisphere country toliberate Cuba.

Khrushchev�s Victory

The New York Times for October 29, 1962, carried the full text

of Khrushchevs reply to the Kennedy commitments. He shrewdlyspelled out the embarrassing details of the amazing and completelyunnecessary capitulation which President Kennedy had made in hissecret letter to Khrushchev two days earlier. Said Khrushchev:

"l regard with respect and trust the statement you made in your

message on October 27, 1962, that there would be no attack, no in»-vasion of Cuba, and not only on the part of the United States, hutalso on the part of other nations of the Westem Hemisphere, as youhave said in the same message of yours." The New York Times,Western Edition, October 29, 1962, p. 4.! .

Those who caught the full impact of this tremendouslegal anddiplomatic victory for Khrushchev wondered how the President andhis advisors could have been so completely outmaneuvered. Only afew days before. President Kennedy had made himself a wbrld heroby standing up to Khrushchev and commanding the military mightof the U.S. armed services to throw a blockade around Cuba. Khrush-

chev had immediately tried to conciliate the President by promisingthat the Soviet Union would not indulge in "any rash act." It wasohvious that Khrushchev was afraid of the brink.

Note: For a brief haclzground on Castro's original conquest of Cuba seeThe Naked Communist, chapter I1.

Military authorities had already advised the Wiute House thatthe Soviet leaders would not dare make a war issue out of Cuba be-

cause of America�s vast superiority in �re power. Latin Americancountries had assured the United States of their complete support inthis new posture of U.S. �rmness. Thousands of Cuban freedom�ghters had been encouraged to join "Spanish speaking units of theU.S. Anny with the con�dence that the liberation of Communist-conquered Cuba was only days away. Members of Congress openlyassured the President that this was the hour to invoke the Monroe

Doctrine and the Rio Pact to show the Soviet Union that foreignconquests of independent nations in North and South Americawould not be" tolerated. H

With such manifest forces oi unity and strength behind theUnited States, why did the Administration allow Khrushchev to extortfrom it a promise that there would be no attempt to liberate Cuba if theSoviets would just dismantle their illegal missile bases? And bywhat authority did the President commit the military might and

prestige of the United States to a policy of preventing any othercountry in the Western Hemisphere from liberating Cuba?

There was also the very serious possibility that the President hadentered into a secret pact which amounted to a treaty agreement with~out providing any opportunity to have the Senate approve it asrequired by the Constitution. The treaty approving power of theSenate was intended by the founding fathers to bring the facts outin the open where the people could have a chance to examine theissues before any sweeping commitments were made. In this spiritWoodrow Wilson had strongly advocated "open covenants, openlyarrived at." The merits of such a policy were demonstrated in theKennedy~Khrushchev negotiations. If Khrushchev had not publishedthese cornmitmelits, the American people might never have heard ofthem. Undoubtedly Khrushchev knew he was embarrassing the Amen?can president by publishing what was to have remained a secretagreement between two heads of state. p

Citizens wondered what was in the Presidents mind when he

deliberately tied the hand of the American forces and committed theUnited States to a permanent policy of neutrality toward Soviet~conquered Cuba. S

ls President KennedyFollowing the Schlesinger-Acheson Line?

Among the closest advisors to President Kennedy is Arthur M.Schlesinger, ]r., who has openly opposed any anti-Soviet policy. Healso says the United States can come to socialism "through a seriesof New Deals." He has referred to the freedom �ghters behind theiron curtain as "reactionaries" and called their lost liberties �obsolete

prerogatives.� As far back as 1947 Dr. Schlesinger boasted that theState Department was following the policies which he advocated:

�Though the secret has been kept pretty much from the readersof the liberal press, the State Department has been proceeding

for some time somewhat along these lines. Both Bymes andMarshall have perceived the essential need�~to he �rm withoutbeing rancorous, to check Soviet expansion without makingunlimited commitments to an anti�Soviet crusade. to invoke

power to counter power without engaging in senseless intimida-tion, to encourage the growth of the democratic left. The per-formance has often fallen below the conception; hut the directionhas been correct. Men like Ben Cohen, Dean Acheson, CharlesBohlen, have tried to worlz out details and whip up support forthis admittedly risky program." Congressional Record. Septem-ber 26, 1961, p. 20125, romans added.!

It was risky indeed. By the end of 1948 all of Eastern Europehad been pnlledbehind the Iron Curtain with a loss of over 100million allies. By the end of 1949, we had lost China with its teemingpopulation of between 450 and 600 million. Congressional testimonyrevealed that the same tragic policy continued throughout the KoreanWar. Even when there was a change of administration in 1952 themen who were master~minding the foreign policy behind the scenescontinued to follow the stubborn. almost blind, conviction that theCommunists would change.

-As Dr. Schlesinger pointed out in his book, The Vital Center�949!, the object is to have Communism mellow and the freedemocracies come together with it under peaceful socialism. That iswhat he means by stating that we should contain the Soviets butpush the rest of the World toward the "democratic left.� He believesthe Communist leaders should not be looked upon as enemies butas ovet�zealons allies whose brutalities must be tempered so that theybehave more like true socialists. And because the Communists are

allies in this sense. Dr. Schlesinger is not in favor of liberating anyof the Communist~conquered countries. He makes this very clear inhis statement:

"At the some time, the United States must not succumb to

demands for on anti~Soviet crusade nor permit reactionaries in

the buffer states to precipitate conflicts in defense of their ownobsolete prerogatives." Ibid.! t

Notice that the freedom �ghters behind the iron curtain arereferred to as "reactionaries" and their longing for liberty as "obso-lete prerogatives." t

These views are prevalent among a certain body of powerfulpolicy makers who serve in the State Department and the VxfhiteHouse. Their in�uence seeps to the surface on numerous occasionswhere it may be easily observed. V

The Policy_of Soi-tness Toward Communism

in the Cuban crisis of October. 1962, the President was ap-Ipatently guided by these policy~mal<ers who followed the Schlesingerline as outlined above. It was characterized by a determination toremove the threat of Russian military conquest but smother the risingride of popular demand for the liberation of Cuba from Communism.It was the same kind of thinking during the previous administrationwhich guided the State Department in supporting Castro in spite ofreliable warnings that he was a Soviet agent. Men of this persuasiondo not seem to fear the cunning of Communists the way most ordi-nary people do. They somehow feel that the Communists can becontrolled, they can be manipulated, they can be forced to "mellow."They therefore approach them in a spirit of accommodation andappeasement which often violates the most elementary aspects ofprotecting American interests. This is evident in the following inci~dents which have occurred during the past 18 months. These incidentsshocked many Americans at the time they occurred, but only on rareoccasions were enough citizens paying attention to do anything aboutit. Every one of these incidents created circumstances favorable tothe Communist position and detrimental to that of the United States:

States and transfer its military, naval and air force equipment including nuclear weapons! to the United Nations.

2. Refusal by the President to proclaim the third week in Iulyas the traditional "Captive Nations Weeh" because it was "anunnecessary irritant in relations with the Soviets." Public pres-sure finally prevailed but the proclamation was extremely weala.making no reference to Communism and the slave states under it.

3. Ordered the dismissal of charges against indicted Russianspy, lgor Y. Meleleh, to �improve Soviet~American relations."

4. Ordered the release from prison of Communist Party organi-zational secretary, Harry Winston, one of ll Communist leadersconvicted of conspiring to overthrow the United States govern-ment by force and violence. Winston immediately went toRussia with State Department permission where he appeared onradio and television castigating the United States.

5. Forced the anti-Communist government of Laos to acceptCommunists in positions of leadership. Threatened to withdrawall American aid if the Laotian Government failed to comply.

6. Ordered the lifting of the ban on the distribution of Com-munist propaganda through the U.S. mails, allowing it to bedistributed to American citizens postage free.

Soft Policy Shows Up at Buy of Pigs Invasion

In an article entitled, �Kennedy's Fatehrl Decision," the U.S.News and World Report for September 17, 1962, summarized the factssurrounding the tragic Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba. The ReadersDigest reprinted the same article in its November, I962, issue.

The facts are not pleasant. President Kennedy had approvedthe invasion which took place April 17, 1961, and he had promisedthe invaders air cover. Two U.S. carriers, their decks loaded with

�ghting planes, were standing by within easy striking distance. Inaddition, the invaders had their own planes which they expected touse for their protection. Here is the way the article describes whathappened:

"Secure in this assurance of air support, the invaders went ashorein the early morning darlzness of Monday, April 17. Their land�ing was successful: 1,400 armed inen reached the beaches of aplace called the Bay of Pigs. '

"In the battle that followed, Castro's troops suffered heavycasualties. Castro's tanks, coming up to the battle, were sittingducks for an attack by air. Confidently, the little invading forcewaited for its air support to arrive. Its leaders had assurance ofthat support. It was provided in the pre-invasion planning.

"Hours before. on Sunday evening, a small but potent force ofB~26s was sitting in readiness on an airfield 500 miles away.waiting to take off for the Bay of Pigs. Those were planes ofthe invasion force, with Cuban pilots.

"But those planes didn't take o�.

�The reason: President Kennedy forbade their use.

"That was the fateful decision President Kennedy made on thatSunday evening. He decided that the anti~Castr0 Cubans couldnot have the support of their own air force during the invasion.Without that support, the invasion failed."

President Kennedy made his decision the night before the invasionand while the invasion force was still on the high seas. Nevertheless.the Cubans were allowed to continue their course and make their

landing without ever being told that their air cover had been cancelled.The military aspects of the decision was one factor, the moral ques-tion of promising these �ghting men protection and then removingit without letting them know, was quite another. It did somethingto the image of American leadership in Latin American minds whichmay never be forgiven.

Then there is the military aspect of the decision.Even after the landing when officials in charge of the invasion

pleaded with the President to change his mind, he refused. Even when

they told him the mission was collapsing he remained adamant. Inthis hour President Kennedy was the Commander in Chief. No onecould overrule him. Whatever his motives, they must have beenpowerful indeed to resist both the advice of CIA officials and theobvious embarrassment which the collapse of the invasion was boundto bring.

The U.S. News and World Report emphasizes how easy it wouldhave been to liberate Cuba had the President's promised help beenprovided:

�The invaders inflicted close to 2-.000 casualties on Castro'sIorces, suffered only a hundred or so casualties of their own.But without air support, the invaders could not hold out. Mostof them wound up as Castro captives.

"American military officials who followed this operation say thatit came within a hair's breadth of success. They say: Given earlyair support. the invaders could have destroyed Castro's air forceand tanlzs. Defections from his militia, which had started, wouldhave spread. Underground forces, waiting for word of successbefore rising against Castro, would have sprung into action.When that word did not come. they remained underground."

Soft Policy Shows Upin Event Culminuting in the October Crisis

By midsurnmer, 1962, it was impossible to completely suppressthe reports from Cuba that the Soviets had landed substantial militaryforces and were building Cuban bases for the launching of nuclearmissiles. Senator Kenneth B. Keating of New York carried thesereports to the floor of the Senate in August, 1962. He repeated themduring the month of September. On October 10th he declared:"Construction has begun on at least a half dozen launching sites for

9

I

intermediate�range tactical missiles. . . . My own sources on theCuban situation . . . have substantiated this report completely."

The Administration seemed casuai if not indilferent to these

warnings. It is now known that by October 16th aerial photos hadveri�ed the existence of both offensive missiles and Soviet jet bombersin Cuba but the ollicial line continued to discount charges that acrisis was brewing in Cuba. As late as October 20, newsmen pepperedthe Defense Department with questions about the reports of Sovietmissiles and jet bombers in Cuba and were met with flat denials.

The U.S. News and World Report later published an article en-titled: "How U.S. Newsmen Were Misled About Cuba." The article

stated:

"American news reporters and editors are complaining that theywere deceived by the Kennedy Administraion about the situationin Cuba.� Issue of November 5, 1962, p. 8.!

The President, meanwhile, was on a campaign tour, and hadrun headlong into a political chill at the grassroots level wherever thesubject of Cuba came up. On the eve of an election the crisis in Cubahad become an issue with the people. Suddenly, the President termi�natecl his tour, claiming hehad contracted "a cold,� and hurried backto Washington. _

Two days later President Kennedy went on the air and proclaimeda blockade of Cuba. A shout of triumph went up all over the freeworld. It looked as though the sleeping giant were waking up at last.But certain aspects of the President's blockade speech were puzzling:the Monroe Doctrine was never mentioned. there was no promise ofany help to liberate the Cuban people, the overthrow of Castro�sCommunist regime was denitely not on the agenda.

It was on October 27th that President Kennedy sent his secretcommunication to Khrushchev promising that no attempt would bemade to invade Cuba and that no other country in the WesternHemisphere would be allowed to liberate Cuba if the Soviet Union

would remove its missiles. It was-on October 29th that the New

York Times published the full text of Khrushchev's reply and told theworld what President Kennedy had agreed to do.

It appeared that legally and diplomatically, Cuba had been aban�doned to Communism.

The Administration team had conducted itself completely withinthe framework of the Schlesinger�Acheson doctrine of keeping theSoviet within bounds but not attempting to liberate any Communist�conquered territory. V

Only one question then remained for Cuba: would the Americanpeople stand for it? Americans everywhere seemed to feel that thesooner Cuba was liberated the less blood it would cost. The longerit was postponed the stronger the forces would become which inevita�bly must be rooted out. They knew it was not just for Cuba that anew policy of �rmness was required-�the whole future of the worlddepended on it.

Many of its members are former Special Agents including Skousen.SAC Mason of the Cincinnati Office had occasion to see a private showing ofa pilot film from this series being used in efforts to sell the program. H-is -letter dated $53 indicated he had doubts as to whether or not the films ,were s¢ius11y*t¥s;¢;� from editorializing as the producer claims: He stated thathe could not personally subscribe to some of the statements made by individualsand he took particular offense at the emphasis on Skousen' s prior associationwith the FBI. SAC Mason pointed out that after leaving the FBI Skousen servedas a Chief of Police at Salt Lake City and a member of the faculty of Brigham 'Young University and has engaged in other endeavors, none of which were

I mentioned in the film. His advertised former association with the Bureau is

tan obvious effort to trade on the Bureau's efforts. .i

OBSERVATION: "

The three paragraph; quotation in the item enclosed by correspondentclearly states the Director's position. A specific organization is not criticizedbut a clear warning is given to carefully evaluate persons claiming to -be expertson communism even though they have prior association with the Bureau. -

In response to your inquiry, Mr. Skousen entered on dutywith the FBI as a clerk on October 24, 1935, which position he held untilJune 17, 1940, when he became a Special Agent. He voluntarily resigned

'" '� on "October 5, 1951. Since I am not fully acquainted with all of Mr.� Skonsen'sactivities since leaving the FBI and the opinions expressed in his writingsand publications are his own, I am unable to comment along the lines yousuggested.

vrrslilI have received your letter of February 21st.

YD

OMr. W. Cleon Skousen entered on duty with the

FBI as a clerk on October 24, 1935, in which capacity he serveduntil June 17, 1940, at which time he became a Special Agent.His services with our organization were terminated on October 5,1951, when he voluntarily submitted his resignation. His opinionsare strictly his own and do not represent this Bureau in any way.

I am enclosing some literature I trust will be ofinterest to you. It contains suggestions all of us can use in combatingthe communist menace. You may also wish to refer to my hooks,"Masters of Deceit" and "A Study of Communism. " These werewritten to help Americans gain an insight into the strategy and tacticsoi communists, both in this country and abroad. These hooks maybe available at your local library.

Dear Sir,

Last Tuesday I attended a meeting at which W. Cleon_Skousen was the featured speaker. Posters and tickets billedMr. Skousen as "former F.B.I. Agent, Assistant to J. EdgarHoover; his:-isubject was "Retreat Means Defeat" and for almosttwo hours blamed every,err0r in judgement on the part of ourgovernment on communism - and praised to the heavens theJohn Birch Society, General Walker, and Senator Thurmond.

¢ - Before going any further with my complaint to the"Business and Professional Men's /Club" which sponsored him,I"w_ould like more information on jwhy Mr. Skousen is no longerwith the F. B. I. - did he part under favorable conditions?

-___, His attack on the "s0ft1'92' policy of our governmentsince� 1940 has so irritated me - �actually this is my firstexposure to this kind of thinking - that I don't know where tostart to do my part to combat this type of thinking.

1300 people filled that auditorium and devouredeverything he said. Sad to say I couldn't always separate hishalf-truths from the facts and am determined to become betterinformed in order to do something positive to counteract histype of speaker. But where to begin?

Your letter oi March 25th has been received. __

in response to your inopriry, H have repeatedlystated that tire Communist Party in this country hes attemptedto infiltrate and subvert every segment oi our society. Its effortsare being thwarted by the 1FBI's iotermi security programs, byinvestigation, arrest and prosecution oi Party functionaries, sodby widespread, intelligent public opposition to the communistphilosophy. These achievements are being accomplished throughorderly, legal procedures.

Despite the above, the world communist conspiracyand its advocates in the United States continue to pose e basic threatto our country. it is important that our citizens educate themselvesconcerning the true nature oi this atheistic philosophy in order thatthey will he able to resist its eroding influence. At the same time,opposition to communism must be careful and constructive, and keptwithin the due process of law. lit is not enough to be merely againstcommunism. We should exhibit in positive ways the superiority ofour form of government over any foreign ideology. W

Dear Sir:I am a conservative and many of my friends

regard me as a radical for the simple reason that I amtrying to make them see, how the mmunists have infiltratedour government and churche . order to get them tobelieve I must have proof of erything I say or hear.

Mr. C1eone__5_kou who formerly behnged tothe FBI. just recently spoke in ou community. He said therewere quite a number of pastors that were either communists orcommunist sympathizers in the United States.

On TV a few weeks ago a Lutheran pastor wasfinding fault with Skousen and said "If this was true why didhe not name them?"

I told an acquaintance of mine that I would getproof from the FBI. that Cleone Skousen was a reliable man and

Salt Lake City, Utahalso get the names of pastors that either were communists or communistsympathizers. There were quite a number of pastors. I do notknow the exact number he said but it was either 3,000 or 4,000.

Could you please furnish me with this informationas I need proof in order to make my friends and acquaintances

' believe that what Mr. Cleone Skousen of Salt Lake Utah says is thetruth and that the FBI is behind him.

Gentlemen:

I would like to make a request for information concerning a W. Cleon¬!Skousen, who pblished some kind of book about Communism, the 500k '�'

Being published by the Ensign Publishing C0,, Salt Lake City, Utah.

The following are my reasons for this request, and my position sothat you may determine just what information you will give me andunder what circumstances:

I live in a very small community, and besides my tax accounting busi-ness, I also serve as a correspondent for the South Bend Tribune for >

this comunity alone. Last night, I attended a School Board Meeting. -»Mr. Immel, the School Supt. told us of a request from this man, butasked the press not to publish what he would tell us until such atime that further information could be gathered. I have honored hisrequest, but am not too sure what the other two papers will do. '

He said that this man had asked that he announce there would be Xadult meetings on "Instructions about Comunism", meetings whichwould alert the pblic as to the methods, etc. Before getting the'permission, he telephoned several people Mr, Skousen! saying thatthe permission was "iminent in forthcoming". Naturally, Mr. Immelthought him presumptious, and told himlso. The man said that he hadbeen a Secret Agent for the U,S. afgkhggzbeen behind the Iron Curtain. /_,

Kirkpatrick, thenInspector General on the staff of the Director, CentralIntelligence Agency, before the Subcommittee on 6/13/61.The pamphlet shows the plans of the communists to destroythe effectiveness of the police of the free world based ona booklet seized in Europe. Twenty-four of the 32 pages inthe appendix are devoted to diagrams showing how mobs candefeat police countermeasures. -

Skousen�s book was prepared from a series ofarticles which appeared in the independent publication,"Law and Order," for which he is Editorial Director. Thebook is a rehash of public source information that is well-written. The author� skillfully creates the impressionthat all demonstrations in the United States are a part ofthe communist plan to discredit law enforcement in orderto facilitate the taking over of our Government.

- In his six-page introduction, the author describesthe anatomy of a riot in Bogota, Colombia, in 1948 under thedirection of the Communist Party of Coklmbia. He.indicatesthat the riot against the House Committee on Un-AmericanActivities in San Francisco, California, in 1960, was the"curtain�raiser" for the series of riots subsequently heldthroughout the United States. He notes that all thesedemonstrations have been followed by a barrage of propagandaagainst the police and efforts made to fix the blame for /~these "carefully concocted" upheavals directly on the heads

The first chapter, "The CommunistPlan to Paralyze the Police Through Civilian Review Boards?shows the idea for �such boards originated with the com-munists in this country in the l930�s and is part of thecommunist plan to discredit and immobilize our local police.

Chapter three, "The Communist Plan to Fight thePolice by Promoting College Campus Riots," emphasizes"Gogobierno," the system in Latin America which turns collegesinto sanctuaries for rebels. The author shows that it isthis system that radicals hope to import into the United Statesso that college rebels can battle the police and return to Vthe campus to be immune from punishment. He utilizes the1965 Report of the California Senate Factfinding Subcommitteeon Un-American Activities as the basis for this chapter whichdirects its attention against the Berkeley campus of theUniversity of California.

beginnings, show the relationship between communism andsocialism and how socialists are being used to facilitatethe communist attack on police� The author attempts tocover too much ground and, as a result, he does notcreate the afterimage desired.

The concluding chapter, "The Need of the Hour:Support Your Local Police," sets out a program of what canbe done to aid local law enforcement in the present situa-tion. The author proposes the formation of a "CitizensCommittee to Support Your Local Police." He recommendsthat the committee represent a broad spectrum of the com-munity and avoid domination by any single civic club, church,fraternal or political organization, He also suggests thatthe committee represent the stratification of the community,be independent but have close liaison with the local policedepartment. It should avoid unrelated controversial issuesand be dedicated to developing better community relationsbetween the citizenry and the police, Activities shouldinclude a "Police Appreciation Week" and a "Truth Squad"to counteract the propaganda of radicals.

- Recently, it has been brought to my attention that thepeace symbol, the upside down Y stands for the broken cross, oranti- Christian.

I called a bookstore in Louisville and they had a book with aforward in it by W. Cleon Skousen who is said to be from the F. B. I.

I would very much appreciate any enligh_t___n_1ent you can giveme as to the symbol and if Mr. Skousen was a F. B. I. employee.

I want to give this shocking information to pur local P. T. A. Nov ll.! of which I am program chairman. I want my facts to becorrect so please reply as soon as possible.

The Parent-Teachers Association is to help our community,therefore our country. We try to raise our children to respect our greatcountry and its laws but so much has taken place in every phase of livingour whole moral structure has been defaced.

Thank you sir for your time and I do appreciate any help youmay give me as to the truths of this.

Sincerely,

Peggy Warth Mrs. Thomas E.!

GODLESS FORCES THRBATEN US

an address by

Blder�Bzra Taft Benson

Godless forces threaten us. -

My text is from Paul's timely admonition:

" Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand~.against_theiwi1es_of_ the devil, For we wrestle notagainst flesh

and blood, but against principalities, against powers, againstthe rulers of the darkness of this world. against spiritual wicked-'ness in high places. " Ephesians 6:11-12!

A modern day prophet has said, " . . .when acts and schemes are manifestlycontrary to the revealed word of the Lord, we feel justified in warning peopleagainst them. We may be charitable and forbearing to the sinner, but mustcondemn the sin. . . "i ElEa1Z_EI,TJ_E111ZS_Ol'1_CQl'l�i_I[lLQll.§IT1__QI'1d th_e_Cons_tit_ut_ion, byPresident David O. McKay!

While most Americans continue to enjoy their comfortable complacency thefact remains that the American way of lit'e-�with a spiritual foundation--whichhas given us the highest standard of living and more of the good things of lifethan any other system, is under powerful attack.

The Godless world-wide Communist Conspiracy expects one day soon to takeover the United States. With the active support of some 150 known or suspectedCommunist fronts and infiltrated groups identified by the F. B. I. Human Events9:20-69!; with almost half the student bodies of colleges and universities of ,America reported to have elected presidents who support the revolution; with actsofftreason against the United States committed daily throughout the nation and lawson treason and sedition shattered by decisions of the Supreme Court; wit-h riotsin l25 cities within five days� time, 2600 buildings burned and 713 of them in theNation's Capitol; with revolutions interrupting operations of 200 colleges anduniversities since Christmas; with the� Reds ordering the New Left to "close down100 universities in 1970; " and with the constant aid of leftists, dupes, fellowtravelers and complacent citizens, the Conspiracy is now moving into the finalstages for a nation�wide "revolutionary take-over.

One of the most prominent targets now under withering fire in this waragainst ourselves is the Ten Commandments, the Sermon on the Mount, theConstitution of the United States, the institution of private property, and thebasic concepts of the Gospel of Iesus Christ. Surely this is a time whenconsideration might well be given by the people of America, and the entirefree world, to the important matter of citizenship responsibility, and moreimportantly, membership in the churches of the free world.

Today we face insidious, devastating evils which are widespread. Aimedespecially at the destruction of America��the last great bastion of freedom��withemphasis on our youth, the evils are everywhere-�sponsored, -promoted� and _directed by the Communist Conspiracy, fellow travelers and dupes. Never hasevil been presented in such an array of appealing forms. We face a most dan-gerous revolution in America and it 1S now in progress. According to the FBI," It is well-planned, well�financed and well�armed. " As citizens of the greatestnation of the world, we face a deadly serious crisis. We must do battle withthese evil forces on every front, rig. Any delay will be disastrous. "We mustbegin aggression against evil. The time for procrastination and permissivenessiis long past. "

These atrocious, destructive evils are now revealed in our music, in our art,in sex perversion and so�called sex education in the schools, in destructive

sensitivity training��a powerful form of Pavlovian brainwashing�-as used by

p

Communists on captured American soldiers in Korea and by Hitler in Nazi Germany._ f__; .,___�__.____�_�,=;__ _ .,=*�= .�-_-.:- -92_i'w~.--,- .._-»= .A~;� _e.�. ;i�_e_-_~7�-,-as .�~� ---$-:2»; A we V. �~�** --r

These evils areprorninent in the promotion of drugs-�LSD, marijuana anda host of others��in leading magazines and underground publications for youth;

in TV, movie and radio programs, in pornographic literature, in morally destruc-tive paperback books available to all on newsstands and in Communist orientedanti-American organizations such as SDS Students for a Democratic Society!.

These devilish forces "led by dirty minds in dirty bodies" seem to be every-

where. They are spreading into every segment of our social, economic andreligious life--all aimed at the destruction of one whole generation of our choiceyouth in preparation for the Communist take�over.

The Godless Communists have declared, "We are going to destroy the �moral character of a generation of young Americans, and when we have finishedyou will have nothing with which to really defend yourself against us. " _

We may, as adults, close our eyes to them�-keep our heads in the sand"-hoping they will go away, but these evils are here, close by, working insidiouslyand destructively day by day, hour by hour, without ceasing. Will parents whohave abandoned their responsibilities for the training and guidance of theirchildren awaken and act before it is too late?

We may cry, "Peaceful coexistence" but there is no such thing withthe devil and his emissaries. We are at war��not a cold war--but a burning,searing hot war-�the most serious war in the memory of man. We must winthis War now. Will parents bestir themselves before it is too late? Will our

political leaders really awaken to the danger? Will courageous action comebefore destruction falls? Will we as citizens rally prayerfully and actively tocourageous leadership? r

The Christian world�-�the real Christian world��my own Christian countryincluded��kn_ows that there are certain eternal ver"ities��principles that never

- -- change. Iesus Christ is in -very deed the @,~ the truth and the light. The TenCommandments are verily true. They form a permanently binding code of conductwhich man cannot violate without drastic damage to both his material andhisspiritual welfare. We know that God is not dead�-that He is watching us��eventhough one of the Russian astronauts cracked: "We�ve been all over 'Heaven' andwe didn't see any sign of God. "

Yes, Godless forces do threaten our great civil.ization. These Godless forcesare forging a union of state and atheism. I quote in substance from the well-knownconstitutional lawyer, Dean Clarence E. Manion: See Manion Forum Broadcast 747,1-2 6-69!

Can you name the Three Kings who came out of the East bearing gifts for theInfant Iesus? St. Matthew called them the Three Wise Men of the Year One A. D.

-...?¬._-,_,__-� -_ »s_._.�M-__,______- ._,.._ ..--- _..j�-_ I_ ._._4.- �... -__---� --___ ____._ _..__..__..___AAifew months ago a national magazine called the Apollo 8 Astronauts the ThreeMen of the Year 1968. But by whatever name they are called, these six famousmen are now forever joined across the centuries by their colorful execution ofthe same high purpose. All of them followed their stars from the end of their earthto praise and glorify God.

The miracle for St. Matthew's men was theunerringiaccuracy of the Star ofBethlehem that guided them to their Divine Destination. The wonder of the worldfor 1968 was the apparent common faith, wisdom, humility and, last but not least,the moral courage of Colonel Borman, Captain Lovell and Major Anders, who, on

Christmas Day, at the apex of hist0ry�s then longest and most perilous voyage,gave praise and thanks to God, the Creator of Heaven and Earth. and implored Hisblessing upon all of the three billion listening people of this world.

._ When all of the facts, figures and findings of the first incredible journey to themoon are finally evaluated and computerized, this unscheduled, unprecedentedpublic act of religious faith and worship will be found, like the name of Abou benAdhern, to lead all the rest for all the years to Come. "Without the blessings ofthe Lord all this would be quite impossible.

Those professed atheists, who have confidently relied upon science todethrone and eclipse Almighty God, . . .are already doing their ma nful best,of course, to rub out all reference to the prayer in their recapitulation andevaluation of Apollo 8. The monitoring Communists in Moscow after muchhigh�level consultation, you may be sure! decided wisely to ignore it. Butsome others are unable to restrain their indignation and have probably beenback to the U. S. Supreme Court seeking the same kind of prohibition againstthe public glorification of God in the Heavens that they have so successfullymaintained here on earth.

The Justices may or may not welcome this new opportunity to re-enforce theirstrange new doctrine of neutrality in the weird war that is being fronted againstGod and religion. Undoubtedly, the Court's ultimate decision will be influencedby what happens to the attitude of the _American people in the meantime. For thereal question now is this:- How much longer will the American people-�and thewhole Christian world��continue to tolerate the sadistic beating that religionhas been taking in this country and elsewhere for the past 25 years?

Frankly recognizing that Godless forces in this country have always beenoverwhelmingly outnumbered by the faithful, the first working principle of theanti�God strategists has been to move insidiously and always carefully to avoidanything that resembles a direct attack or a frontal confrontation with theiropponents. .

A-» -�.From a practical standpoint,- of course, these decisions establish a union

of state and atheism. The accomplishment of this last objective has takenprayer out of the public schools and if and when the judicial conclusion isextended to its logical limits, it will abolish tax exemption for church property,eliminate chaplains from the armed services, remove our motto "in God we trust"gfrom our coins and require major surgery upon our official salute to the|flaq.,_

. , i 1

We must realize that the anti-prayer decisions are simply a beguiling'_ Uclimax in the wide ranging--campa ign against God and religion that has been _sustained here in this country, and in many other nations, for more than three

decades.

It was boldly begun here in 1933 November 16! , when the United Statesannounced our diplomatic recognition of atheistic Soviet Russia. For 15 yearsthe United States had refused to recognize the Godless Moscow Communists,

for the reasons published at length in 1920 by Bainbridge Colby, Secretary of

State in the Administration of'President Woodrow Wilson. In concluding hislong letter of documentation and explanation Colby had said this: "Therecannot be any common ground upon which the Government of the United Statescan stand with a power whose conceptions are so entirely alien to our own,so utterly repugnant to our moral sense. "

This recognition, together with the abandonment of the inspired MonroeDoctrine, gave the Red-atheists a big diplomatic sanctuary for the coordinationand direction of their propagandists, spies and saboteurs. These promptlyinfiltrated every branch of our Federal Government and later, every segment ofour economyand more recently have established a Godless base 90 miles-fromour shores. Our recognition broke the ice of American resistance to the accept-ance of the Kremlin gangsters into the International Community as a legitimategovernment and so strengthened their iron grip upon the tortured people ofRussia and her satellites.

judging by its demoralized works, atheismhas now quit advancing in thiscountry simply because it has arrived. Not just rhetorically but actually��ourcountry is in an un-Godly mess. City streets are terrorized by crime; ourbiggest and most expensive campuses are paralyzed by nihilism and anarchy;with special licenses from the Supreme Court, theaters are boldly featuringsex perversion and the newsstands are loaded with hard-core pornography. Bigname investigating commissions have told us all about riots, crime, progressand poverty, but always in materialistic terms of money, housing, social servicejobs, and.birth control-�wit-hout a--word'about the possibiliti'es"for personal maraiself-restraint. .

What about our churches? You have heard the startling story of what Scien-tific Atheism has done to institutional religion in the United States and elsewhere

just look, listen and read and you will find that so�called! �civil rights"have now eclipsed and outdated all of our personal moral responsibilities.Whoever dares to mention the Ten Commandments today will immediately betreated for a sick hang�up with the "Puritan Ethic."

But if atheism has taken us over, then who and where are the atheists? Itwa,s'shee'r coincidence, of course, that the day after the 1968 astronauts gaveus their inspiring prayer from the moon, the Gallup Poll reported that 98% of theAmerican people believe in God. Fantastic? Not at all. How many avowedatheist-s do you know personally?

Gallup also found that 65% of us believe in Hell and 60% of all Americansbelieve in the Devil. Now just a word to this big majority who believe in the

Devil. Who, in your opinion, has ma ster-minded this tragic transformationof the official, controlling American mind? The Devil? Through Satan'sCommunist counterfeit to the Gospel? Then why don't we all say so?

Now to the 98% of us who believe in God: Well, the Astronauts did

something big about it. Now will you please do a little something about itwhen you get your next captive audience, however small it is?

Organized Atheism, representing just 2% of our population, has con-taminated��is still contaminating��the whole course of American life��ofChristian life everywhere. In this country today a 2% tail is wagging the big98% dog. Never in all history have so many been hornswoggled by so few.

For yea rs we have all been obsessed with the iniquities of the SupremeCourt. The way to do something about the Supreme Court is for the 98% ofus to become obsessed with the omnipotent goodness of the'Supreme Being.What do you suppose would happen in all branches of our Government if the98% of us would stop complaining and start working and praying?

We Americans have come almost a year with a new national administra-tion in the United States. The world is watching. Perhaps now is the time toreturn to basic eternal concepts, to praise the Lord while we continue to workhard on the Congress, the President and the Supreme Court.

Other nations might well follow a similar pattern of concern.

As Americans--as members of the world-wide Christian community--wecan defeat the Godless, atheistic forces which threaten us. Yes, with the

help-of=Al-mighty God we-can--we==must=-w-in�the=wa-r against t-heeevi-l forces-=-Hwhich seem almost to overwhelm us. The eternal verities revealed from God,

through His inspired prophets, have not and will not change.

Let us "put on the whole armour of God that we ye! may be able to standagainst the wiles of the devil." There is no other way of safety.

God 'is'not dea�d.' He lives, for Hé has appeared-�together with HisBeloved Son, Iesus the Christ-�in our day. This Iknow, as Iknow that Ilive, and bear this humble witness in the name of Iesus Christ, Amen.

Subject: COMMUNIST mess CALLSAFOR ATTACK on

From: W. Cleon Skousen __

Attached hereto is a reprint of an article from an officialCommunist Party paper called the World Magazine which is theSunday Supplement to the Daily World and the People's World.This article appeared in the issue of October 18, 1969.

The last paragraph of this article calls for an attack onthe LDS Church. You will note that the Communist strategyis NOT to attack the Latter-Day Saints as a "church," �butas an institution of "economic and political power" which"coincides with the interests of monopoly capital."

This article is a typical Communist propaganda sheet filledwith crumbs of truth intermixed with a whole loaf of falseallegations and implications. �It even claims the Mormonleaders are in control of the Los Angeles Times!

Anyone familiar with Communist tactics will recognize thatthis is no ordinary article. it is a signal to the Communist"transmission belt" to go to work. There are people strate-gically placed in the bulk of the opinion-molding facilitiesof the United States who watch for signals like this in theCommunist press. The Communists are: looked upon as the"vanguard" or tactical leaders in the fight against theopen society of the United States. Communist signals aretherefore accepted by the entire cadre of left~wing collec-tivists as the logical targets for a united attack. The Com-muni'sts refer -to this large group of fellow-travelers astheir "transmission belt." . By unitedly� attacking an iden-tical target. they create a syndrome of incidents which havean overwhelming impacton the thinking of the Americanpeople. This technique has been used successfully forfifty years.

This type of massive propaganda assault is designed todistort public thinking to the point where it paralyzes theeffectiveness of the organization under attack. ln fact. theobject. is not merely to discredit the victim but create anatmosphere of deep resentment or even hatred toward it.

For several months the volume and intensity of Criticismagainst the LDS Church has been mounting. The CommunistParty has apparently decided to take over the leadership ofthis agitation and give it financial ancl institutional support.lf the pattern follows past incidents of this kind, wemay expect to see the so-called legitimate press. radioandTV begin a whole series of "reports" on all types of sub-jects rei'ated to the LDS Church. it will be explained thatthe LDS Church has suddenly become "news." All of these"reports" will be handled in a way which makes the Churchlook rich, priest-ridden, racist, super-authoritarian and con-servative to the point of being archaically reactionary.

in the past, organizations selected for this kind of assaulthave usually attempted to ignore the attack until the damagehas become practically irreparable. A more responsiveapproach such as that followed by J. Edgar Hoover when theFBI is attacked has proven more effective in blunting theimpact of such campaigns. Some damage will be done in anyEven!» but bv furnishing the public with facts and furnishinga prompt response to the various charges, it is possible forthose who really want to know the truth to get it. To remainsilent and hope the whole thing will"'blow over" or "fade

LDS CHURCH

away" is exactly what the Communists want. This givesthem a public-opinion vacuum in which to work.

If this signal from the Communist Party is successful intriggering the transmission belt into action, it is likely thatwithin a very short time the Church will find itself strugglingfor living space on almost every front--legally, in proselyting,in academic tolerance, in athletic competition and in itsattempt to get equal time through the media to defend itsposition. The syndrome on all of these fronts has alreadymanifest itself, and if the Communist Party has its way theintensity of the attack will be increased a hundred-fold.

in times of crisis such as this. individual members of theChurch can do at least four things:

1- D0 Your homework so you can appreciate what is happening.Do not become confused by the avalanche of hostilepropaganda. Unique doctrines or policies of the Churchwill be seized upon for concentrated publicity. Thesewill be distorted or made to appear as ridiculous as pos-sible. ln past crises. a few members of the Church havegotten on the enemy bandwagon and wagged their fingersof accusation with as much vigor as the opposition. Theyhave demanded that the Church "change" and accommodateitself to the propaganda pressure.

2, Stand steadfastly behind the Prophet and the leadersof the Church. Do everything within your own sphere ofinfluence to spread the truth on each of the issues asthey arise. The Communist objective will be to thoroughlyintimidate the members of the Church so they will feel"guilty" or become afraid to "get involved."

3. Do everything possible to avoid any statement or actionwhich might inadvertently feed ammunition to the enemy.Part of the'Communist strategy will be to provoke Churchmembers to the point where some of them will over-reactor over-state their position so these can be quoted overthe transmission belt as "typical of the Mormon mentality."

Should you happen to be contacted by a reporter. insistthai all questions be submitted in writing. If you decideto reply, write your answers and keep a copy. Recently,members of the Church have been deliberateldmisquotedby the wire Services. If the reporter claims there isn't timefor a written exchange, then tell him you have "No Com-ment."

4. Avoid giving aid and comfort to the enemy. It is aston-ishing to find a few members of the Church actually makingdeliberate concessions to the opposition in an attemptto appear "objective," "honest," and "impartial." JosephSmith would have considerable to say about this caliberof "fair-weather" member. As Thomas Marsh and othernotable defectors of the past century discovered, suchconcessions by them did not turn out to be honest orobjective, but a betrayal of the truth and a betrayal ofthe Church at a time when both needed uncomprornisingsupport.

One should keep in mind that during past crises the Lord hasalways used these occasions to shake loose the tares fromthe wheat.

My dear Mr. Hoover:

A leaflet like the one enclosed was sent to me_by friends who livein Utah, whare it was published. As you can see, it advertises a bookby W. Glegn Skouseny called "The Naked Gapitalist,9 which in turn isa review of another book entitled "Tragedy and Hope," by Dr. CarrollQuigley. No doubt you are familiar with both books. I have bought Mr.Skousen's book, and have read it. The whole monstrous plan revealedin this book is shocking and frightening. I am writing to you in thehope that you will be willing to tell me your frank appraisal of thewhole scheme, perhaps answering these questions: -

l. Is it all really true?2.Do you believe this scheme is working so well and has advanced

so far that it cannot be stopped?5. Is this sinister Establishment here portrayed the same "Esteb� �

lishment" which the dissidents, rioters, Black Panthers, etc.are so vehemently gighting against?

4. Do you think, as I do, that the people of this country - allthe people - should be alerted and informed as soon aspossible? #1

5. Have you any suggestions about accomplishing effective pub1icity?J

.I wish to take this-opportunity to compliment you on the fine job - **you are doing in your extremely important position as head of the F. B.I. I fear there arelmembers of this sinister Establishment who wouldlike to see you resign, for fear you know too much about them, buthope you can, and will, keep right on for many years yet. é::Z§¥ J

I am not a reporter, or writer. but just a "homebody," wife of acollege professor who has just retired. I read all the news carefullyand worry a great deal about things that are happening in this country.I am alarmed about this Capitalist scheme combined with socialism! andam trying to find out what we of the "silent majority" can do about it.I hope you will send me some word of your opinion or appraisal on thissubject. I plan to send copies of this leaflet to others, and wouldlike to have some statement from you that you would permit me to quoteand thus give credence to my concern.

A stamped, self�addressed envelope is enclosed for your convenience 'in replying I hope you will send me some reply, however brief. git ,will be most appreciated. ,_.,.,, 995� #7�/�/Q.� Z-4? Zin" I T. � K

Now it can betold. Dr. Carroll Quigley of Harvard,Princeton, and Georgetown Universities let the secret outin his 1,300 page bodlr, Tragedy and Hope, which was pub-lished by the Macmillan Company.

Being an �insider� himself, Dr. Quigley was able togive the names, dates and places for the whole amazingplan concocted by those who feel they have the necessaryeconomic and political power to seize the human andnatural resources of the entire world. Dr. Quigley seemsto feel that this plan is now so far advanced that it is thehope of the future and that anyone who stands in the wayis only contributing to tragedy. Hence� the title of hisbook, �Tragedy and Hope.� -

Because few people would be willing to strugglethrough Dr. Quigley's1,300-page tome, W. Cleon Skousenhas provided a review of the amazing facts which Dr.Quigley presents in his book as the explanation for muchthat is happening in the world today.l�f' �Mr. Skousen feels the bold and defiant admissionsby Dr. Quigley'prhhide_.the most "potent ammunitionavailable to shock and .aw'al<e'ir Americans to the realityof their peril. in spite df'these»§alla-rniing i:dnditions,_Mr.Skousen feels the tide can stillpbge,turned.f;7*His review isdesigned to get the facts betoré*'th�e�~p_i§opleg=siip__that;positiveaction can be taken in-time.

Memorandum to Mr. C. D. Brennan

Re: "Home-Grown Subversion"Article by W. Cleon Skousen

DETAILS: _

This memorandum provides detailed response to theDirector's inquiry regarding article entitled, "Home-GrownSubversion" by W. Cleon Skousen in March, 1971, issue of"Law and Order" magazine. Director inquired: "Can weauthenticate statements made in this article?" Mymemorandum 3/29/71 noted extensive research necessary tocheck reference works and Bufiles.

The Author

W. Cleon Skousen is a former Bureau employee,serving as a clerk l935el940, and as a Special Agent1940-1951 when he voluntarily resigned. He was Chief ofPolice in Salt Lake City, Utah, 1956-1960, and is presentlyeditorial director of "Law and Order" magazine, a commericalventure not associated with any law enforcement agency ororganization. We are circumspect in dealing with Skousenbecause of his efforts to capitalize on his past associationwith Bureau in order to benefit his writing and speakingactivities in opposition to communism. �7�69602!

The Article

Thrust of Skousen's article is that a certain

segment of the wealthy people in this country��the so�called�dynastic rich," those who have inherited great wealth��are subsidizing "forces of violent revolution." The purposeof this subsidy, according to Skousen, is to help the "dynasticrich� in their efforts to take over and control the United Statesfor what the rich believe is "good" for humanity. They arerealizing success at this game, Skousen believes, because"the people" have become tired "of working out their destiny"and are willing to "sacrifice their independence for theluxury of having others take care of them." The attempt ofthe "dynastic rich" to control others runs counter to theAmerican Revolution, which Skousen asserts created anindependent nation and spread political power, financialpower, and religious self-determination among the people.

Re: "Home�Grown Subversion"

Article by W. Cleon Skousen

Skousen is accurate in claiming that severalwriters, including historian Dr. Carroll Quigley ofGeorgetown University, have produced studies purportingto document a network of wealthy persons which wieldsconsiderable influence in business and financial circles,government, and the mass communications media.

Skousen Unsupported

Skousen asserts that when Karl Marx's "dream" ofviolent revolution was largely rejected after 1848, Marxturned to support of "democratic socialism" as a means oftaking political and economic power. Research, however,fails to show that Marx ever renounced the violence of theclass struggle and the proletarian revolution. Skousen alsoclaims that Marx considered reformist tactics the bestmethod to take over the United States and England. But,he fails to specify a source in Marx's writings, and researchfails to verify Skousen's statement. Furthermore, Marxwas highly critical of "reformist" tactics, such as seekingimprovements through legislation and strongly held thatsociety could only be improved by violent destruction ofthe capitalist state.

Claims Regarding Financing Bussian Revolution

One especially dubious claim by Skousen is thatscholars are beginning to discover that, wherever Communistrevolutions have succeeded, it has been due to financial aidby some of the wealthiest people in the world. As evidencefor this claim, Skousen maintains that several "dynasticbanking families" financed the Communist revolution inRussia.

According to Skousen, Leon Trotsky, in hisbiography, refers to some of the "loans" coming from Britishfinanciers as far back as 1907. Trotsky's book, "My Life," page 202} mentions only one such loan, that of 3,000 poundsby an "English liberal" to help cover some expenses of the1907 Bolshevik Party Congress in London. Trotsky statesthat years later the Soviet Government paid back the loanfor which all Congress delegates had been cosigners.

British Subsidies

By 1917, Skousen asserts, the major subsidiesfor "the revolution" were being arranged by Sir GeorgeBuchanan, then British Ambassador to Russia and Lord AlfredMilner who was in Russia as a special representative. Onesource suggested by Skousen refers merely to "privateinterviews," not further identified, as documentation forthe above claim. A second source, citing hearsay, refersonly to British aid to the March, 1917, revolution thatoverthrew Czar Nicholas II but not to any aid for theBolshevik Revolution of November, 1917.

JacoblSchiff

Skousen charges that Jacob Schiff �847-1920! of theNew York investment banking firm, Kuhn, Loeb and Company,furnished the Communist leaders around $20 million forthe "final triumph of Bolshevism" in Russia. This figureis reportedly cited in the February 3, 1949, edition ofthe now defunct "New York Journal American" by Jacob Schiff'sgrandson. According to his biographer C. A. Adler, JacobSchiff in his letters and speeches blamed theRussian Imperial Government of Czar Nicholas II foranti�Jewish policies and practices and personally gaveabout $500,000 for relief of Jews in Russia prior to 1917.Schiff later was reportedly sympathetic to the ProvisionalGovernment, providing one million rubles for its "libertyloan" in April, 1917, but was strongly opposed to theCommunists in Russia. Review of microfilm records of theFebruary 3, 1949, "New York Journal American" failed tolocate any article about Jacob Schiff and possible financingof the Bolsheviks as Skousen alleges. No evidence was foundto substantiate Skousen's claim that between 1918 and 1922Levin paid back 600 million rubles to Kuhn, Loeb and Company.It is noted that the notorious anti-FBI critic, DorothySchiff of the "New York Post," is a granddaughter ofJacob Schiff.

Hearings Regarding Schiff, 1918

Allegations that Jacob Schiff and other Jewishinvestment bankers helped to finance the Communist revolutionin Russia have appeared in the past. In 1959, at theDirector's instructions, such an allegation againstJacob Schiff was checked out in a review of the hearingsconducted in December, 1918, by a Subcommittee of theCommittee on the Judiciary, United States Senate. Entitled"Brewing and Liquor Interests and German Propaganda," thehearings also covered Russian and Bolshevik activities inthis country and Europe prior to that time. The hearingsabsolved Kuhn, Loeb and Company of alleged pro-Germansympathies and failed to bring out-any information indicatingthat Jacob Schiff helped to finance the Bolshevik Revolutionin Russia. �00-407194-6!

Skousen's claim that other international bankers

were involved in financing the Communist takeover apparentlycomes from a book, "Czarism and Revolution," by Arsene deGoulevitch, a former Czarist Army officer who fled Russiaafter the Bolshevik Revolution. Goulevitch in turn attributes

the information to a document published in Rostov, Russia, in1919, which reportedly attributed the information to thearchives of a high French Government office not identified!.

From the same sources Skousen notes that Trotskylater after 1917! married the daughter of one wealthycontributing banker named Jivotovsky. Trotsky's book,"My Life," and all available biographies on Trotsky containno references to the name Jivotovsky and indicate thatTrotsky's second marriage, about 1904, lasted until hisassassination in 1940 in Mexico City.

Current'Events

Skousen points out that the "secret network" ofBritish wealth combined with the "dynastic rich" of theUnited States as far back as World War I to form the Councilon Foreign Relations CPR! and the Institute of PacificRelations IPR!. The purpose of these groups, according toSkousen has been to guide "U.S. foreign policy toward the

establishment of a world-wide collectivist society." Healso alleges that Congressional investigations have shownCFR and IPR responsible for establishing policies that ledto the loss of China to the communists, to the "mismanagement"of the Korean War, and to the so�called "no win" approach tothe conflict in Vietnam.

The CFR, headquartered in New York City, was foundedin 1922 and is self�described as a nonpolitical groupsupporting U. S. foreign relations in an impartial and scholarlyspirit. The Council publishes "Foreign Affairs" quarterlymagazine and its membership has reportedly included numerousprominent individuals such as the late President Eisenhowerand New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller. �2�5256�l7,9x4,27!

Founded in 1925, the IPR engaged in research intothe economic, political, and social aspects of Pacific Oceancountries. In 1952, the Subcommittee on Internal Securityof the U. S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary concludedthat IPR was actually controlled by a small core ofcommunists or pro~communist personnel and that IPR associateswere instrumental in keeping U. S. policy on a coursefavorable to communist objectives in China. �00-371054-14!

Skousen claims that through tax�exempt foundations bithe "dynastic rich" align their forces with the violent, E5revolutionary left to create such havoc that Americans will hfcall on the Government in Washington, D. C., to take over. b�In connection with this approach, Skousen referred properlyto testimony " ' " ' ' earings. This

The following have been furnished money bytax-exempt foundations to further militant activitiesaccording to Skousen:

Rev; Milton A. Galamison

Galamison, Negro minister of the Siloam PresbyterianChurch, Brooklyn, New York, has been active since the mid-1950s

as a leader and participant in numerous civil rights protests,disruptions at the New York City School Board meetings, andNegro boycotts of New York City public schools. He has beenarrested several times in connection with these activities.As Skousen notes, Galamison was1964 founding convention of theClubs of America, the Communistfact, he reportedly asked to be

Party, USA youth front. Ininvited to appear. Galamison

has been an acquaintance of Henry Winston, CPUSA National 'Chairman, and officiated at Winston's 1965 marriage. TheFord Foundation did give $160,000 to a group Galamison headed,as Skousen asserts. The Ford Foundation, established in 1936,has by far the highest assets of any foundation--$3.5 billionin 1968. McGeorge Bundy, adviser to former President LyndonJohnson, is president of the Ford Foundation. �00-440326-26;

Ferguson and oneother defendant were convicted in June, 1968, of the murder

conspiracy charges and are currently FBI fugitives forunlawful flight to avoid confinement. Contrary toSkousen, Ferguson was not hired by the Ford Foundationafter his June, 1967, arrest on the murder conspiracy

While free on bond awaiting trial,Ferguson urged Negroes to obtain and practice withweapons for "self-defense" against whites. Because of thosecomments, his bail in February, 1968, was raised to $100,000and he was jailed when unable to furnish it. He was releasedlater on lowered bond. In March, 1968, the Board ofEducation President ruled Ferguson could not hold the positionfinanced by the Ford Foundation. �00-443173�18,21,30,50;

New York Times 2/27/68!Le Roi Jones

Jones is an extremely militant black nationalistwhose writings are bitterly antiwhite and replete withvulgarity. 'Whi1e Bufiles do not substantiate Skousen'sreference to a specific $50,000 foundation grant to Jones forhis writing career, the "New York Post" of October 19, 1961,stated that Jones was writing then under a fellowship of theJohn Hay Whitney Foundation, which was funded by Whitney who wasformerly publisher and president of the now defunct "New YorkHerald Tribune." Jones directed the antiwhite Black Arts

Repertory Theater in Harlem in 1965 with some $40,000 furnishedby the Office of Economic Opportunity through HARYOU�ACT, a multmillion dollar antipoverty program in Harlem. Funds fromthat source were cut off in late 1965. Jones was arrested

in the July, 1967, Newark, New Jersey, rioting on gunpossession charges of which he was eventually acquitted.

� �00�425307�38!

National Urban LeagueWhitney M. Young, Jr.

Skousen alleges that when the National Urban League,led by the late Whitney M. Young, Jr., came out in favor of"black power" and stated it was no longer against violence,the League received $2 million from a foundation. Young, whodied in Nigeria on March 11, 1971, had stated in 1969 thatblack power should be "interpreted to mean the developmentof black pride and self-determination," and that it was

Other Grants

Skousen also lists grants from one foundation toa number of organizations allegedly carrying out the"policies and propaganda favoring a globalist strategy."While his article does not reveal the name of the foundation,Skousen previously identified it in other writings as theFord Foundation. No information was found to either confirmor deny some of the grants mentioned by Skousen or to identifythe "revolutionary dissident� who allegedly purchased a$75,000 home with grant money. Following are the grantsin Skousen's list which have been verified. j '

The Adlai E. Stevenson Institute of InternationalAffairs��$l,000,000.

Skousen's article concludes with an unsubstantiatedreference to "left-wing collectivists" quietly obtainingresolutions from 33 state legislatures calling for aFederal constitutional convention. The only references inrecent years to a call for such a convention pertainto efforts by the late Senator Everett Dirksen to convenea constitutional convention to propose an amendment negatingthe U. S. Supreme Court's 1964 decision requiring Congressionalvoting districts, as nearly as practicably possible, to beequal in population-~"the one man, one vote" ruling. In thisregard, by 1970, 33 state legislatures had passed resolutionscalling for such a convention�-l state less than the requiredtwo-thirds. Legal problems face some of the resolutions

Dear Mr. Hoover, Miss Gandy _-Zt/

I have read Mr. W. Cleon Skousen's review of Dr. n�*iggCarroll Quigley's book "Tragedy and Hope". As youremember, Mr Skousen is a former FBI agent of yours andrespected by the law enforcement comunity. I havemost of your books on Comunism and on crime in theU.S.A. I give you my support and respect you as a Godinspired man. Please continue in your high quality work.

Would you be able to tell me whether the book "Tragedyand Hope" is true. Events seen to be developing asoutlined in this book. Secret societies and secretcombinations as outlined in this book appear to be quitetrue. I fear for our country.

I know that no secret combination can succeed as

long as we, the people, keep our country's traditions andsacred philosophy as well as a belief in God. However,that philosophy is being torn apart today and we arecollapsing as a result. Can you give me any informationto my questions on Dr. Carrol Quigley's Book?

Charles E. Shepherd, Jr, I am writing to determine Iin my own mind, the validity of statements made by a formeromember Iof the FBI. The individual I am refering to is Mr. W. Cleon Skousen _who worked with the FBI for sixteen years, k '*'

According to Mr. Skousen, in his book The Naked Ca italist -there exists in the world today a secret group Round Table Groupswho through their vast economic powers are financing the Communist

Myname is

with the ultimate aim of world control. 6Mr. Skousen got most of his information from a book written by - 92 I

Dr. Carroll Quigley professor of history at the Foreign Service Schoolof Georgetown University. The book is entitled; Tragedy and Hope. -

A E,Dr. Quigley states: "There does exist, and has existed for a gen- � / �

Ieration, an international Anglophile network which operates to some 'extent, in the way the radical right believes the Communists act. Infact, this network which we may d identify" as The Rmmd Table Groups -has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other groups / '

� and frequently does so. I know of the operation of this network be- /°IY cause I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two I ,�years, in _the_ early 1960's to examine its papers and secret records,� ' ' "III " "' C� � � W� Ch? � �I� 7'1" h"f'
