peaceful solution to the conflicts present in the world. The question is:
on what foundation will the edifice of peace be built? UNESCO claims to
supply this foundation, but when its claims are investigated, they are
found to be empty as well as a convenient cover for its real activities.
The foundations of UNESCO are atheistic and materialistic. For it, man
is the highest product of nature rather than one created in the image
and likeness of God. This view of God and man dictates UNESCO's
methods and. can be seen in them. Rather than being genuinely
concerned with, the intellectual and moral development of men through
education, UNESCO makes cynical use of those whom it professes to
be serving and helping; rather than assisting people to grow and accept
responsibilities, UNESCO preys upon those with whom it comes in
contact and is more than glad to assume covertly or overtly all
responsibilitv. 13
Look at a few examples. The book How the United Nations Works by Tom Galt is one of
the children's books recommended by UNESCO. 14 It also comes highly praised by the
New York Times, the Saturday Review of Literature and the New York Herald Tribune as
well as the United Nations Information Service. In the opening paragraphs the reader is
informed that the United Nations is "the most important organization that has ever been
created on this earth." As for accuracy of information in this book, the following is typical.
The author describes the UN organizational meeting in San Francisco in 1945. On page
20 he says that while the delegates were meeting in the opera house, Japanese bombs
drifted overhead on balloons and exploded in the hills near the city! On page 9, the author
skillfully plants a typical UNESCO attitude in the minds of his young readers by saving that
when he was a boy his teachers and school books told him:
The U.S. is always good and noble. We never fought a war except in
self-defense. We have always been kind and generous to other
countries. But the people of other countries are dishonest and mean.
They will always cheat you. They never take baths.
You and the United Nations is another children's book highly recommended and praised
by UNESCO. 15 Written and illustrated by Lois Fisher, it is designed for the very young. It is
crammed with clever drawings and appropriate captions to catch the imagination of
children too young to understand the more complicated and sophisticated United Nations
arguments. For instance, all pro-UN figures are characterized as wholesome and
intelligent. Those who are against the UN are presented as ridiculous and evil. One
classic illustration depicts our Founding Fathers as three extremely ugly and grotesque
cross-eyed creatures snarling at each other while a rat watches from the floor.
This is the kind of conditioning of children's attitudes that Luther Evans had in mind when
he addressed a UNESCO meeting and said:
UNESCO's is a radical program. The rewards may be visible ten years
from now; again they may not be visible for a hundred years. . . . They
are instilled into the daily habits of mind of rising generations-perhaps
not the first, not the second, but ultimately, it must be so. . . . To make
the system of the UN and its specialized agencies work, we must sweep
past traditional barriers in our thinking toward new frames of
reference. 16
