There will be no place for the present narrow patriotism, the bigoted
nationalist chauvinism that serves so well the capitalist warmakers. 5
And in 1936, speaking before the ninth national convention of the Communist party in the
United States, Earl Browder declared: "Who wins the youth, wins the future of America." 6
In these three brief statements, the Communists themselves have fully explained what
UNESCO in America was designed to accomplish:
1. Achieve effective control of the educational system of our country. If
the Communists can condition the minds of the youth of a nation for just

3. Instill in our youth an outlook of so-called internationalism and worldmindedness.

called herself a socialist, was made president of UNESCO's preparatory commission.
Clement Attlee had made her British minister of education. 8 And, as the Senate
Committee on the judiciary stated:
What appears . . . to be by far the worst danger spot, from the
standpoint of disloyalty and subversive activity among Americans
employed by international organizations is UNESCO. . . Mr. Pierce
Gerety, former chairman of the international organizations employees
loyalty board . . . expressed the opinion that there existed in UNESCO a
clique of people who placed the interests of the Communists and
Communist ideology above any service to UNESCO, and above their
own country. 9
On August 2, 1953, Dr. Luther Evans, who was then the new director of UNESCO,
inadvertently confirmed the above Senate report when he declared "that the U.S. drive
