UNITED NATIONS THREAT TO SOVEREIGNTY * On April 26, 1945, representatives of most of the civilized nations of the world met in San Francisco to create an organization of nations which would become a pattern for world government and - it was hoped by its sincere supporters - insure lasting peace to a world long weary of war. The conference was completed on June 26, 1945, with the adoption of the UN Charter. Before the San Francisco convention, however, much groundwork had been done by various groups in the United States and elsewhere, designed to make the world organization acceptable to the United States, which had, after World War I, rejected membership in the League of Nations. For a period of approximately three years before the actual formation of the United Nations, there was conducted in the United States a full-blown, expensive campaign to overcome the natural ojections of a free and powerful nation to giving up of its national sovereignty. In 1941,there was organized a group called the INTERNATIONAL FREE WORLD ASSOCIATION, and this group began publishing a magazine called Free World. The secretary of this group was Louis Dolivert, who was later identified in testimony before the Senate Internal Securities Subcommittee by Louis Bundez as a member of the Communist Party. (see IPR Hearings, 1951-51, P. 526) Bundez was a high Communist Party functionary who defected and gave valuable testimony to the U S Government concerning communist spy networks in America. The fact that the United Nations was envisioned by its planners as a world government, superseding the sovereignty of nations, was not hidden. On August 6, 1946,the Chicago Tribune published an article concerning the one-world plans of the UN, and headed it "Radicals, Rich Unite to Push World State; Fight Defenders of US Sovereignty". The Council on Foreign Relations, in conjunction with the US State Department, played an important role in the 'conditioning' of the US Congress and public to accept the UN Charter and its restrictions on national sovereignty. This is set out in State Department Publication 3580 (1950) on P. 108. This SUBCOMMITTEE ON INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION was headed by Sumner Wells, of the State Department. Proving the direct link between the old League of Nations and the United Nations, was the fact that two members of this subcommittee had also served on the staff of Col. E. M. House at the Paris Peace Conference in 1918, at the time of the founding of the League of Nations. They were Dr. James T. Shotwell and Isaiah Bowman. Before the San Francisco Conference, preliminary meetings were held in Moscow, Russia, in October 1943, to lay groundwork for the United Nations. The Moscow Conference was attended by the top diplomats of the United States, Russia, Great Britain and by the Chinese Ambassador to Russia. This meeting was held under the cold, calculating eye of Joseph Stalin, and received his blessing. Later, at Dumbarton Oaks, final plans for the United Nations Organization were hammered out. The chief planner at this conference, and later a top aide at the United Nations Convention, was Alger Hiss, who was later to be exposed as a Soviet spy working inside the US Government. *********************************************************************************** *EXTRACT, "A Study and Commentary" by the Alabama Legislative Commission to Preserve the Peace.
