The idea for the United Nations was officially proposed in 1944, at the secret Dumbarton
Oaks Conference, where the framework was developed, and the final plans laid out. The
conference was attended by representatives from the U.S., England, and Russia, and it was all
coordinated by Alger Hiss. Hiss was a Trustee of the Woodrow Wilson Foundation, a director of
the Executive Committee of the American Association for the United Nations, a director of the
American Peace Society, a Trustee of the World Peace Foundation, a director of the American
Institute of Pacific Relations, and President of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
In 1950, he was convicted of perjury, and sent to prison. Exposed as a Soviet spy, his communist
activities extended back to 1939. Other Americans who attended: Harry Dexter White, Virginius
Coe, Noel Field, Laurance Duggan, Harry Wadleigh, John Carter Vincent, David Weintraub,
Nathan Silvermaster, Harold Glasser, Victor Perlo, Irving Kaplan, Solomon Adler, Abraham
Silverman, William Ullman, William Taylor, and John Foster Dulles (who had been hired by
Joseph Stalin to be the Soviet Union’s legal counsel in the United States).
In February, 1945, at the Yalta Conference, President Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and
Joseph Stalin agreed to the plans proposing the establishment of the United Nations.
The April, 1945 issue of Political Affairs, the official publication of the U.S. Communist
Party, said: “Great popular support and enthusiasm for the United Nations policies should be
built up, well organized and fully articulated ... The opposition must be rendered so impotent that
it will be unable to gather any significant support in the Senate against the United Nations
Charter and the treaties which will follow.”
On June 26, 1945, the San Francisco Conference, attended by 50 nations, established the
United Nations, and adopted the Charter which had been drafted. The General Assembly held
their first meeting in London, on January 10, 1946. The U.S. Senate ratified the UN Charter with
only two dissenting votes; and in December, 1946, John D. Rockefeller III donated an 18-acre
tract of land in Manhattan (which he had purchased for $8,500,000, with New York City
contributing the remaining $4,250,000), to provide the organization with a permanent
headquarters, which is located between First Avenue and Roosevelt Drive, and East 42nd and
East 48th Streets.
The United World Federalists were established on February 22, 1947, by two CFR members,
Norman Cousins and James P. Warburg, when the Americans United for World Government,
World Federalists, Massachusetts Committee for World Federation, Student Federalists, World
Citizens of Georgia, and World Republic, all merged. Their goal was to endorse “the efforts of
the United Nations to bring about a world community favorable to peace ... (and) to strengthen
the United Nations into a world government of limited powers adequate to prevent a war and
having direct jurisdiction over the individual.” Nixon said of them: “Your organization can
perform an important service by continuing to emphasize that world peace can only come
through world law. Our goal is world peace.” Ronald Reagan was associated with them before he
became a conservative. Various other left-wing organizations have also defended and supported
this international organization.
The United Nations, “open to all peace-loving nations as sovereign equals,” is made up of
191 member nations, and exists primarily to maintain peace and security; develop international
cooperation in solving the political, economic, social, cultural, and humanitarian problems of the
world; and ensure the existence of friendly relations. Many of the countries are non-democratic,
being ruled by dictators, royal families, military officers, or one-party governments.
As you have read, there was a strong communist influence during the establishment of the
organization, and all indications are that it has maintained a socialistic slant to its affairs. Earl
