should win.
Much of this was implicit in my attitude of mind . . . rather than fully
thought out. What I was actually most conscious of was the more
primitive feeling of pleasure at now being, as I thought, "on the inside" of
this major international operation, combined with a sense of deflation,
on realizing how very much "on the outside" one had been as an
ordinary delegate in the corridors of the Assembly and at the Advisory
Committee. 3
What kind of person does it take to be a desirable member of this "inner circle"? First of
all, like Conor O'Brien, he must have sufficient loyalty to the United Nations that he is
willing to place it well above any loyalty to his own native land. All members of the United
Nations Secretariat must take the following oath upon employment:
I solemnly affirm to exercise in all loyalty, discretion and conscience the
functions entrusted to me as a member of the international service of
the United Nations, to discharge those functions and regulate my
conduct with the interests of the United Nations only in view, and not to
seek or accept instructions in respect to the performance of my duties
from any government or other authority external to the organization. 4
Many of the American employees in the Secretariat who gladly took this loyalty oath to the
UN refused to answer when questioned by a committee of the Senate regarding their
Communist activities. Oath or no oath, any Communist who may be employed by the
United Nations will never be loyal to anything except Communism. They will be loyal to the
UN only as long as the UN is serving the purposes of the Kremlin--not one minute longer.
Of course everyone knows this, yet the non-Communists at the United Nations have
learned that whenever this fact is brought up it enrages the Soviets. Consequently, they
no longer discuss it lest it upset the cause of peace. This absurd ostrich complex has even
gone so far that, while it is officially forbidden for the UN to hire anyone "connected with
fascism" on the plausible basis that no one wants a potential Mussolini or Hitler to show
up in the Secretariat, it is perfectly all right to hire persons connected with Communism.
Apparently no one is worried about harboring a potential Stalin.
J. Edgar Hoover, director of the FBI, has disclosed that between 70 and 80 percent of the
iron curtain diplomatic representatives in this country have "some type of espionage
assignment." 5 Since it is only logical to assume that these people are dedicated
Communists and that they will be exerting their maximum influence to channel the efforts
of the United Nations toward Communist objectives, we will not waste a lot of time
belaboring the point. There are several factors, however, that need to be emphasized. The
first is that these people are not just run-of-the-mill international servants. They are
carefully screened and professionally trained in the art of espionage. Once inside the
United States their mission is to gather secret material and to serve as a communications
link between Moscow and American-based Communists.
Hardly a month goes by without our reading in the newspaper of another United Nations
delegate being nabbed by the FBI for espionage. It happens so often that it is hardly
newsworthy any longer. The frustrating part of it, however, and the second point to be
emphasized, is that since these enemy agents are officially accredited to the United
Nations, they can operate under complete diplomatic immunity. If the FBI catches them
red-banded, all they have to do is flash their UN passes and they are free again. Our State
