CHAPTER NINE: THE HOME TEAM
In 1950 the State Department issued a volume entitled Postwar Foreign Policy
Preparation, 1939-45. It described in detail the policies and documents leading up to the
creation of the United Nations and named the men who shaped these policies. This and
similar official records reveal that the following men were key government figures in UN
planning within the U.S. State Department and Treasury Department: Alger Hiss, Harry
Dexter White, Virginius Frank Coe, Dean Acheson, Noel Field, Laurence Duggan, Henry
Julian Wadleigh, John Carter Vincent, David Weintraub, Nathan Gregory Silvermaster,
Harold Glasser, Victor Perlo, Irving Kaplan, Solomon Adler, Abraham George Silverman,
William L. Ullman and William H. Taylor. With the single exception of Dean Acheson, all of
these men have since been identified in sworn testimony as secret Communist agents!
It is truly fantastic, but here is the record:
Alger Hiss: In 1950 Hiss was convicted and sent to prison for perjury involving statements
relating to his Communist activities. Since the second Hiss trial evidence has continued to
be amassed through other congressional investigations that is even more incriminating
than that used for his conviction. As it was, the FBI had solid evidence of Hiss's
Communist activities as far back as 1939 and had even issued numerous security reports
to the justice Department and executive branch dealing with this fact. 1 In addition, a
parade of former Communists testified that they personally had known and worked with
Alger Hiss as a fellow member of the party.
It is worth noting that Alger Hiss was very influential with the leaders of the Institute of
Pacific Relations, which a Senate committee found to be infiltrated at the top by
Communists. Hiss was one of the trustees of the IPR and was very active in its affairs. 2
Mr. J. Anthony Panuch, who had been assigned the task of supervising the security
aspects of the transfer of large numbers of personnel from various war agencies to the
State Department in the fall of 1945, testified that as a security officer he had access to
conclusive information on Hiss's Communist activity; but when he tried to do something
about it, it was he, not Hiss, who was dismissed. 3
In 1944 Hiss became acting director of the Office of Special Political Affairs which had
charge of all postwar planning, most of which directly involved the creation of the United
Nations; and in March 1945, in spite of all the FBI reports and other adverse security
information circulating among the top echelons of government, he was promoted to
director of that office.
It is more than a little ironic that Alger Hiss was the man who traveled with FDR to Yalta as
his State Department advisor. It was at the Yalta meeting that the decision was made to
give the Soviets three votes in the General Assembly to one for the United States. Giving
votes to the Russians for the Ukrainian SSR and Byelorussia SSR made as much sense
as giving extra votes to the United States for Texas and California. At any rate, even if
