Review of the Scientific and Cultural Conference for World Peace

16 REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC AND CULTURAL CONFERENCE
self. This sincerity was played on successfully by an unscrupulous and more
sophisticated agent.
Inconceivable as it may seem, these scientists who are allowing
themselves to become the pawns of trained conspirators versed in the
art of subversion, are wittingly or unwittingly giving their support
to a cause which stands for the negation and destruction of true
science and what it stands for. Dr. Ernest P. Boas, of the Columbia
College of Physicians and Surgeons, who for some unexplained reason
sponsored the conference, admitted nevertheless that in the Soviet
Union-
Science has become the servant of the state to such an extent that the only
true science is that approved by the leaders of the state.
Under such circumstances, he declnred, pure science cannot flourish.
Describing Soviet terrorism in the field of science, Dr. H. S. l\luller,
Nobel prize winner in genetics, and professor of zoology at Indiana
University, said:
About 7 months ago the Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union
officially repudiated the entire science of genetics and approved in its stead a
group of superstitions that hark back to ancient times.
lIe described how some of the Russian scientists under Communist
pressure had "confessed" their "guilt." Others were banished. In
1940, N. 1. Vavilov, famous geneticist and former head of the Lenin
Academy of Agricultural Science, was arrested. In 1942 he died in
&iberia and his most important papers were destroyed.
MOSCOW APPROVAL
A.t all stages l\1oscow has been out.speken in its approval of the
Scientific and Cultural Conference for 'Vorlcl Peace. The fact that
the following representatives of Soyict culture had been permitted to
attend the conference is one indication:
Alexander A. Fadeev, secretary general of the secretariat of the Union of
Soviet 'Vriters.
Sergei A. Gerasimov, writer, motion-picture director, produceri president,
Soviet Academy of Art.
Alexander 1. Oparin, acting secretary, Biological Sciences Section, Academy
of Sciences of the U. S. S. R.
Piotr A. Pavlenko, writer, Stalin prize winner.
D. D. Shostakovich, composer.
1. D. Rujansky, interpreter.
Mikhail E. Chiaurely, film director and producer.
The fact that the following representatives of Communist-controlled
Czechoslovakia were dosignated, is another indication:
Ferdinand Heroik, dean, at :\-Iasaryk University.
Jan Boor, member, Slovak Cultural Organization.
Ladislav Stoll, Rector, Academy of Political and Social Science in Prague.
Jiri Hronek, secretary general, International Union of Journalists.
Similnrly the sending of the following from the Soviet puppet state
of Poland is a· mark of J\loscow approval:
Stanislaw Ossowski, professor of sociology, 'Varsaw University.
Pawel Hoffman, journalist.
. Leon Kruczkowski, novelist and playwright.
The l\tIoscow press and radio was eloquent in its approval of the
Scientific and Cultural Congress for vVorld Peace, inflating its significance
for its own propagandistic purposes.

COMMUNIST PARTY, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Of the over 500 sponsors of the Scientific and Oultural Oonference,
at least 22 are either avowed members of the Communist Party,
United States of America, or their membership cards or party affiliations
have been made part of a sworn public record:
Herbert Biberman Barbara Giles A. B. l\-lagil
Richard O. Boyer William Gropper Albert l\'Ialtz
Edwin Berry Burgum Langston Hughes Carey:McWilliams
J. Edward Bromberg Albert E. Kahn Paul Robeson
Allan Chase Alfred Kreymborg Howard Selsam
Lester Cole Ring Lardner, Jr. Samuel Sillen
Howard Fast John Howard Lawson Dalton Trumbo
Will Geer
In the light of the conspiratorial nature of the Communist Party,
the current practice of concealing party membership in most cases,
and the numerous front affiliations of some of these sponsors, it is
reasonable to assume that many more are secret party members.

Breathes there the man, with soul so dead,
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land!
Whose heart hath ne'er within him burn'd
As home his footsteps he hath tum'd,
From wandering on a foreign strand?
If such there breathe, go, mark him well;
For him no minstrel raptures swell;
High though his titles, proud his name,
Boundless his wealth as wish can claim,­
Despite those titles, power, and pelf,
The wretch, concentred all in self,
Living, shall forfeit fair renown,
And, doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust, from whence he sprung,
Unwept, unhonour'd, and unsung. -Scott
