The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in a period of moral crisis, maintain
their neutrality.

CHAPTER TEN: NEUTRALS AND NON-COMMUNISTS
Anyone who doubts the potent, if intangible, force of the United Nations should consider
the eagerness even of Communist regimes to join a club which is, and will continue to be,
managed predominantly by its non-Communist members. 1
This statement by United Nations Ambassador Adlai Stevenson is a classic example of
the technique of combining an observable fact with an absurd conclusion. The eagerness
of Communist regimes to join the United Nations is a fact that cannot be concealed. But
since the obvious implications of this fact are not in accord with the image which the
internationalists wish to present to the American people, we are told that (1) the
Communists are eager to join the United Nations because it is a "potent, intangible force,"
and (2) the United Nations is, and will continue to be, managed by non-Communists.
As for the potent-intangible-force argument, little needs to be said. Anyone who is familiar
with even the bare rudiments of Communist strategy and tactics knows that the
Communists do not join or support an organization merely because it is a potent force.
They join organizations either to destroy them or to take them over and use them for their
own purposes; they support an organization only if it advances the cause of Communism.
But how can this be if the organization is, as Mr. Stevenson says, managed predominantly
by its non-Communist members?
Part of the answer became painfully obvious during the investigation of United States
"non-Communist" employees at the United Nations. The other part is the subject of this
chapter.
At the time of this writing, the United Nations has approximately six thousand employees
in the Secretariat. About one fourth of these are classified as professional, which means
that they hold top supervisory and policy-making positions. These are filled according to
the geographical origin of the member nations and in proportion to the various
contributions to the total UN budget. The United States, therefore, is entitled to
approximately one third of the "professional" appointments. The two-thirds balance comes
from other nations--Communist as well as non-Communist.
Theoretically, the United States bars Communists from bolding government jobs. But as
we have seen, this has been only a minor inconvenience to the party faithful. For years,
secret underground Communist agents have moved with ease throughout our entire
governmental structure where they have been protected and promoted. The exposures of
a few years ago were the result of congressional investigations which now have been, for
all practical purposes, completely discontinued.
In France the Communist party is the biggest political party in the entire country, and it
holds the balance of power in the French Assembly. The French constitution even goes
out of its way to make it illegal to discriminate against Communists in government jobs. A
Communist is head of the French atomic energy agency and was recently made advisor to
