Part 19 (1/2)

Cousins is still honorary president of UWF. Walter Reuther (a ”second-level” affiliate of the CFR), Cousins, and Warburg actually run the UWF at the top. Other Council on Foreign Relations members who are officials in the UWF include Harry A. Bullis, Arthur H. Bunker, Ca.s.s Canfield, Mark F. Ethridge, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Harold K.

Guinzburg, Isador Lubin, Cord Meyer, Jr., Lewis Mumford, Harry Scherman, Raymond Gram Swing, Paul C. Smith, Walter w.a.n.ger, James D. Zellerbach.

The Inst.i.tute for International Order, 11 West 42nd Street, New York 36, New York, is another organization working for world government. It was founded on November 17, 1948, at Was.h.i.+ngton, D.C., as the a.s.sociation for Education in World Government. On May 17, 1952, it changed its name to Inst.i.tute for International Government. On May 7, 1954, it changed names again, to the present Inst.i.tute for International Order.

The purpose of this organization has remained constant, through all the name changing, since it was originally founded in 1948: to strengthen the United Nations into a genuine world government. And it is a part of the interlocking apparatus which const.i.tutes our invisible government.

The Inst.i.tute for International Order gets 75% of its income from foundations which members of the Council on Foreign Relations control; and the following CFR members are officers of the Inst.i.tute: Earl D.

Osborn (President), Henry B. Cabot (Vice President), Edward W. Barrett, Paul G. Hoffman, and Irving Salomon.

In 1948, the State Department created the U.S. Committee for the UN (mentioned in Chapter VIII, in connection with the Advertising Council) as a semi-official organization to propagandize for the UN in the United States, with emphasis on promoting ”UN Day” each year.

The Council on Foreign Relations dominates the U.S. Committee for the UN. Such persons as Stanley C. Allyn, Ralph Bunche, Gardner Cowles, H.

J. Heinz, II, Eric Johnston, Milton Katz, Stanley Marcus, Hugh Moore, John Nason, Earl D. Osborn, Jack I. Straus, and Walter Wheeler, Jr.--all Council on Foreign Relations members--are members of the U.S. Committee for the United Nations.

Walter Wheeler, Jr., (last name in the list above) is President of Pitney-Bowes, maker of postage meter machines. In 1961, Mr. Wheeler tried to stop all Pitney-Bowes customers from using, on their meter machines, the American patriotic slogan, ”This is a republic, not a democracy: let's keep it that way.” Mr. Wheeler said this slogan was controversial. But Mr. Wheeler supported a campaign to get the slogan of international socialism, _UN We Believe_, used on Pitney-Bowes postage meter machines--probably the most controversial slogan ever to appear in American advertising, as we shall see presently.

The American a.s.sociation for the United Nations--AAUN--is another tax-exempt, ”semi-private” organization set up (not directly by the CFR, but by the State Department which the Council runs) as a propaganda agency for the UN. It serves as an outlet for UN pamphlets and, with chapters in most key cities throughout the United States, as an organizer of meetings, lecture-series, and other programs which propagandize about the ineffable goodness and greatness of the United Nations as the maker and keeper of world peace.

The Council on Foreign Relations dominates the AAUN. Some of the leading CFR members who run the AAUN are: Ralph J. Bunche, Ca.s.s Canfield, Benjamin V. Cohen, John Cowles, Clark M. Eichelberger, Ernest A. Gross, Paul G. Hoffman, Palmer Hoyt, Herbert Lehman, Oscar de Lima, Irving Salomon, James T. Shotwell, Sumner Welles, Quincy Wright.

In 1958, the United States Committee for the UN created an Industry Partic.i.p.ation Division for the specific purpose of getting the UN emblem and _UN We Believe_ slogan displayed on the commercial vehicles, stationery, business forms, office buildings, flag poles, and advertising layouts of American business firms. The first major firm to plunge conspicuously into this pro-UN propaganda drive was United Air Lines.

W. A. Patterson, President of United, is an official of the Committee For Economic Development, a major Council on Foreign Relations propaganda affiliate, and has served on the Business-Education Committee of the CED. Mr. Patterson had the _UN We Believe_ emblem painted in a conspicuous place on every plane in the United Air Lines fleet. There was a ma.s.sive protest from Americans who know that the UN is part of the great scheme to destroy America as a free and independent republic. Mr.

Patterson had the UN emblems removed from his planes.

In 1961, the American a.s.sociation for the United Nations and the U. S.

Committee for the UN (both enjoying federal tax exemption, as ”educational” in the ”public interest”) created another tax-exempt organization to plaster the UN emblem all over the American landscape.

The new organization is called UN We Believe. Here is an article from the May-June, 1961, issue of _Weldwood News_, a house organ of United States Plywood Corporation (New York 36, New York):

”A. W. (Al) Teichmeier, USP director of merchandising, is the Company's closest physical link to the United Nations--he's President of UN We Believe.

”UN We Believe, under joint auspices of the American a.s.sociation for the UN and the U. S. Committee for the UN, is a non-profit, year-round program geared to convince industry, organizations and individuals how important public support can mean in preserving world peace.

”USP uses the seal ... (UN emblem and _UN We Believe_ slogan) on its postage meters for all New York mailings. Among some other active companies in the program are CIT, General Telephone, Texaco, American Sugar Refining, P. Lorillard Co., and KLM Dutch Airlines.”

Plywood companies (small ones, producing hardwood plywood, if not big ones like USP) have been grievously hurt by the trade and foreign-aid policies which the UN, international-socialist crowd is responsible for.

Lenin is said to have remarked that when it comes time for communists to hang all capitalists, the capitalists will bid against each other for contracts to sell the rope.

The article from _Weldwood News_, quoted above, was quoted in the July 17, 1961, issue of _The Dan Smoot Report_. The companies mentioned received some mail, criticizing them for supporting UN We Believe. The Texaco Company denied that it had ever been active in UN We Believe and said that the editor of _Weldwood News_ had apologized for the error in publis.h.i.+ng the reference to Texaco and had expressed regret for ”the embarra.s.sment caused” Texaco.
