fund would need five billion dollars, and that Americans would be paying approximately
seventy percent of the total, Mr. Hans Singer, an Englishman, casually remarked: "It will
be a heavy burden on American taxpayers, but you will just have to manage that. You'll
get accustomed to paying the taxes." 7
Brock Chisholm, director-general of the United Nations World Health Organization, during
a speech in 1957 further revealed the prevailing attitude among UN socialists when he
said that it was "manifestly absurd" for a "very small proportion of the human race" (he is
referring to the U.S., of course) to enjoy a tremendous proportion of the world's natural
resources." He said that this is "not a sensible arrangement" and must not last. 8
Apparently the socialists in our own Government agree with this thought, for on February
17, 1961, the State Department delivered the following official memorandum to the West
German government:
We must design formulae which . . . make allowances, as we do in our
domestic taxation systems, for the principle that the richer among us
shall bear a higher relative burden than the poor. In addition, we must
come to recognize a principle on which the U.S. has acted in the years
after the Second World War. That principle is that a sustained
accumulation of gold and other international reserves by any one
country is disruptive to any international community. Especially now
when trade is expanding faster than gold production, we must learn to
use our reserves on a communal basis. . . . 9 [Italics added.]
On September 20, 1963, international socialists listened with delight as President
Kennedy addressed the opening session of the United Nations:
More than four-fifths of the entire UN system can be found today
mobilizing the weapons of science and technology for the United
Nations decade of development. But more, much more, can be done.
For example- a world center for health communications under the World
Health Organization could warn of epidemics and of the adverse effects
of certain drugs as well as transmit the results of new experiments and
new discoveries. Regional research centers could advance our common
medical knowledge and train new scientists and doctors for new
nations. . . . A worldwide program of conservation could protect the
forest and world game preserves now in danger of extinction--improve
the marine harvest of food from our oceans--and prevent the
contamination of our air and our water by industrial as well as nuclear
pollution. And, finally, a worldwide program of farm distribution--similar
to our own nation's "Food for Peace" program--could give every hungry
child the food he needs." 10
At the conclusion of a previous speech by President Kennedy expressing similar views in
relation to NATO, Mr. Paul Henri Spaak, leader of the Belgian Socialist party, exclaimed,
"This is perfect; I have found a successor!" 11
It should be obvious to any careful observer that there is no longer even the slightest
challenge to socialist doctrine within the United Nations from any member nations,
including our own. Any wishful thinking we might have entertained to the contrary was
