Rockefeller Internationalist - Emanuel Josephson |
A Cesspool of Subversion and Perennial Campaign Fund
Philanthropies, social-service activities and charities are political weapons of the first order, if those who control them are minded to use them for political purposes. They have the popular appeal of appearing to give the public something for nothing. And it is notorious that no one wants to shoot Santa Claus. Bismarxism, Communism and New and Fair Dealism have made foundations their most powerful weapon. They are lobbies of the highest effectiveness, entirely outside and above the law, a law unto themselves. The propaganda and political campaigns waged by foundations excel in effectiveness any party political campaigns, because they are waged continuously, year in and year out, with unlimited funds and without any of the legal restrictions imposed upon political parties. These restrictions in the use of political campaign funds were imposed primarily through the efforts of the foundations, which thus cunningly intensified the influence of their own lobbies.
The Marxist New and Fair Deals could not have come into power and retained it for so long a period without the continuous propaganda, campaigning and lobbying for their measures by the Rockefeller controlled foundations and associated organizations, with all the great wealth, influence and prestige they possess. Not even the Government itself can wield as great an influence, because in politics the purchase of influence carries the limitation of the stigma of corruption, as it does in the world of business and commerce; but in the field of philanthropy and social work it is "accepted practice" to bribe public officials with retainers, jobs and favors, because of the false inference that their lobbying is done in the public interest.
This corrupt use of pseudo-philanthropy in politics is as old as human history. Shrewd members of Congress, back in the days before so many of them had come under the influence of the "philanthropic" lobby, recognized the menace of the proposed Rockefeller Foundation. In 1910 to 1911, they refused to grant a charter to it on the ground that it would constitute a menace to the nation. On January 26, 1917, Senator Chamberlain of Oregon, stated on the floor of the Senate, in a wisely accurate and prophetic vein:
"The Carnegie-Rockefeller influence is bad. In two generations they can change the minds of the people to make them conform to the cult of Rockefeller or the cult of Carnegie, rather than to the fundamental principles of American democracy."
Senator Martine, of New Jersey, said, on another occasion:
"I hope that the United States may be spared from living on contributions from Rockefeller and Carnegie".
Many other of the shrewder members of Congress were wise and discerning enough to speak in the same vein. Their attitude was in sharp contrast with the abject and craven subservience to the Rockefeller interests of the large majority of the members of present-day Congresses that defile Washington and echo the historic remark of servile, "bipartisan" Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg at the 1945 San Francisco U.N. Conference:
"Anything Rockefeller wants is O.K."
This sentiment, unfortunately for the nation, represents the views of all the members of our present day Congresses with the exception of one or two men, notably Senator Malone of Nevada. They are the only true Americans representing the country in these times of disaster wrought by the conspirators. In 1911, there were still Americans in the majority on the floors of Congress. They rejected the granting of a charter to the Rockefeller Foundation by an overwhelming vote.
Monopoly is the keynote of Rockefeller enterprise. It is quite natural that when John D. had discovered the publicity, propaganda, thought-control and commercial value of pseudo-philanthropic foundations, he should seek to gain a monopolistic control of them and of allied organizations. Besides, self-interest dictated that he would seek to eliminate that bugbear to the Rockefeller mind, the waste that would be involved in a battle of foundations promoting opposing or differing causes. Cartelization of philanthropy, of propaganda agencies parading as philanthropies, of commercial pseudo philanthropies, and of charities that feed on the generous impulses of mankind was, from that viewpoint, a desirable objective.
John D. Rockefeller attained the first step in the direction of a merger of "philanthropies" in 1908, when Andrew Carnegie, an in-law of William Rockefeller, was given a trusteeship by Rockefeller on the Genera] Education Board. This initiated the merger of the two richest groups of "philanthropies" of the time, following a period of several years of collaboration between Rockefeller and Carnegie personally through social and golfing contacts. (Nevins, JDR, v. 2, p. 592) It was not long before the Rockefellers and their underlings were appointed to the boards of the various Carnegie philanthropic organizations and dominated them.
At the present time, the Rockefellers are represented personally in the Carnegie Endowment For International Peace, a significant set-up in the international field, by David Rockefeller, as trustee; and the chairman of its board of trustees is their kinsman and agent, John Foster Dulles. The two of them were largely instrumental in the appointment of Alger Hiss to the post of president of the Carnegie organization, and with their puppets and agents dictated its policies, propaganda and powerful lobby. Through their agents appointed to the board of each and every one of the Carnegie foundations, they now control them all. This domination has been tightened up by interlocking of a majority of these trustees with the Foreign Office of the Rockefeller Empire, the Council On Foreign Relations.
Under Rockefeller control, the activities of the Carnegie Endowment For International Peace have completely belied its name and violated the purpose for which it was chartered, by propaganda for our involvement in war—in 1914-1917, and again in 1940, when its President Nicholas Murray Butler campaigned for our intervention on behalf of England. Also, in violation of the law, it was the organizer of the campaign for the three billion dollar gift to England; and it published and distributed 300,000 copies of a propaganda pamphlet designed to influence the Congress, by Robert M. Gulick Jr., entitled Fifteen Facts On The Proposed British Loan. As the reader undoubtedly suspects by now, the "loan" was merely another device for looting the taxpayers to fill the treasury of the Rockefeller Empire.
It is ironic that the control of the pro-British Carnegie organizations should have fallen into the hands of the Rockefeller interests who are effecting the destruction of the British Empire, and that it should be subverted to their purposes. But in this they share the fate of every important foundation in the country. Through their drafting of the laws, through control of the governmental agencies and courts involved, through seduction, bribery or other form of procurement of personnel skilled in the administration of foundations, through flattering offers of "cooperation" with the newer foundations that ends up in eventual control, or through court action, as in the case of the Frick Museum, the Rockefeller Empire has gained control of every important foundation and subverted them all to the uses and purposes of the Empire. Their control of the educational institutions of the country, especially in the field of the "social sciences", in which is included the administration of philanthropies, has been a material help in this cartelization of the philanthropies.
A mere detailing of the extent of the interlocking of the trusteeships of the foundations on the one hand, and their interlocking with the Rockefeller dominated, and subversive and Marxist political and propaganda agencies and Government agencies on the other hand, gives some slight inkling of the extent of the menace of the Philanthropy-Charity-Social-Service Trust.
Of the total of 151 trustees listed, 37 interlock the trusteeships of two or more foundations each, 109 interlock membership with Rockefeller's Council On Foreign Relations, eight or more interlock with the Institute of Pacific Relations, and four were editors of Amerasia magazine. The character and tenor of these trusteeships is indicated by the fact that Alger Hiss was interlocking trustee of the largest number of these organizations at the time his "patriotic" career was interrupted by a jail sentence for perjury in connection with treason. Hiss's trusteeships included the presidency of the Carnegie Endowment For International Peace, trusteeships of the Woodrow Wilson Foundation and the World Peace Foundation, and membership in Rockefeller's Council on Foreign Relations and the Institute Of Pacific Relations. His "sponsor, patron and mentor", John Foster Dulles, was "runner-up" with four: chairman of the board of trustees of the Carnegie Endownment For International Peace, trustee of the Rockefeller Foundation, member of the Council On Foreign Relations and of the Federal (alias National) Council of Churches of Christ in America (alias U.S.) Others, who rival these in the number of their foundation trusteeships, are Karl T. Compton, Cleveland E. Dodge, Douglas S. Freeman, Walter S. Gifford, Robert Gordon Sproul, W.W. Waymack and Harry Merritt Wriston.
Making use of the generous impulses of mankind has become a big and important aspect of the business enterprises of the Rockefeller Empire that overlooks no exploitable human failing or weakness. It gives them two advantages: it places the control of enormous wealth in their own hands to be used as they choose; and it keeps that wealth out of the hands of possible rivals in the quest for power and domination. Since these moneys flow directly into their control, it is not surprising that their agents have written into the law, provisions that exempt from taxation the moneys that flow into their "philanthropic", "social service" and "charitable" organizations.
On August 13, 1951, the National Planning Association, an organization that has been subsidized by the Rockefeller Foundation, released a pamphlet written by Rockefeller "tax expert" Beardsley Ruml, in collaboration with Theodore Geiger, entitled "The Five Percent". It deals with a clause in the Federal tax laws Ruml was instrumental in having inserted for his masters, that permits corporations to deduct 5 percent of their total net income "for approved expenditures for educational scientific and welfare purposes."
It can be assumed that expenditures are "approved" by agents of the Empire planted in the Treasury Department, whose approval must be had for all such matters as setting up tax-exempt foundations or researches—a key device in the process of gaining control of all foundations. Ruml, an old hand at the commercial use of pseudo-philanthropies, naively let the cat out of the bag by pointing out the profits of these "philanthropies" to the donors, as follows:
" . . . many corporations which contribute to scientific research gain access to industrial and technologic applications as a result of that research, which may more than repay the expenditures.
"The expenditures create a highly favorable atmosphere for the corporation within its other business activities—for example, its sales promotion work and its labor relations—have a much better chance of being successful."
The real uses to which these "research funds", as well as the activities of the National Planning Association, are put when "approved", can be discerned from the fact that Beardsley Ruml's collaborator, Theodore Geiger, was exposed as a Communist by Professor William Canning before the McCarran Internal Security Committee hearing on August 16, 1951. The taxpayers' moneys are used to supplement the foundations' wealth in fostering Communism in the guise of "social science" research.
The subversive character of the activities and of the key personnel of Rockefeller's Council On Foreign Relations and of their other "philanthropies" and their multitudinous subsidiaries, allies and fronts, has been detailed in other chapters. The political complexion and efficiency of the various Rockefeller foundations has been recounted. How true this state of affairs is in the other foundations of the Trust can be illustrated by listing the Board of Trustees of some of them. The italicized are New Deal officials and the starred, notorious Left Wingers and Marxists.

The mechanics of control and subversion of foundations that are not directly dominated is currently illustrated by the developments in the Ford Foundation. This Foundation was established in 1936 by Edsel Ford with a gift of $25,000, and was rapidly enriched by gifts from Henry and Edsel Ford and their estates. Its stated purpose was to receive and administer funds for scientific, educational and charitable ends, to further the public welfare. Its method of operation was to extend grants to other organizations for their maintenance and operation. In December 1947, it showed capital assets of $204,855,975.65; total expenditures of $1,060,064.93; and grants of $982,185.67, but published no report. It had only five trustees: Henry Ford II, President; Burt J. Craig, Secretary and Treasurer; Karl T. Compton, who is chairman of the board of Massachusetts Institute of Technology that has been so liberally subsidized by the Rockefeller-controlled foundations, interlocking trustee of the General Education Board, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Edison Foundation and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, a member of Rockefeller's Council on Foreign Relations and noted in educational circles as a "liberal"; Donald K. David, who is dean of the Harvard School of Business that is controlled by the Rockefeller-dominated foundations, a familiar Harvard brand of "liberal" and a member of Rockefeller's Council On Foreign Relations; and Benson Ford.
Hard-headed Henry Ford had been quite successful in keeping both Wall Street and the Rockefeller interests out of his enterprises. But Henry the Second, far more naive than his grandfather, succumbed to political pressure exercised through inheritance-tax and Treasury bureaucrats and had opened the door by way of the Ford Foundation to the agents of Rockefeller, peddling their dictatorship conspiracy as "social science". It is safe to predict that this will lead the way to his eventual loss of control of the enterprise he has inherited. For, although the Ford Foundation holds only 3,089,908 shares of the Class A, non-voting stock of the Ford Co., ways will be discovered by the conspirators to give it, and their agents in it, control of the enterprise. By 1950, the process was already under way. By this time, the value of that stock alone was reported by the Foundation to be $417,137,580, mere "chicken feed" in these days of squandering of tens of billions of dollars of taxpayers' money, but still one of the largest boodle funds available in the nation, in the form of a tax-exempt foundation, that can be converted to subversive political propaganda by the conspirators.
The breach made by Compton and David, representing Rockefeller-controlled "philanthropy" was considerably widened by enlargement of the board of trustees, through the addition of:
John Cowles, president of the Minneapolis Star Tribune Co., trustee of the Foreign Service Foundation and member of Rockefeller's Council On Foreign Relations.
Charles E. Wilson, president of the General Electric Co., and trustee of the Foreign Service Foundation, and Fair Deal official.
In addition there were added a host "learned professors", officers of universities heavily subsidized by the Rockefeller "thought control" organizations that parade as "philanthropies", who are dependent upon the Rockefeller-controlled Carnegie Foundation For The Advancement Of Teaching for their pensions and who must do as they are bid.
These submissive "learned professors" were organized into a "study committee" to serve as "independent consultants to the Foundation". This was required by the Treasury Department before it would make a final ruling on the tax exemption of the funds left to the Foundation.
This learned group of professors was permitted by the powers-that-bc to dictate how the Ford fortune should be spent. But even learned professors must eat; and to attain the positions they hold they must have learned long since that the easiest and only way to insure steady eating is to . . .

. . . with Mr. Hoffman having 'enormous powers' in the apportionment of the fund . .
The available liquid resources for this campaign fund, that can be expended for steady propaganda and campaigning, year in and year out, and with no regard to the Hatch Corrupt Practices Act, was announced by the Foundation to be $68,791,847, as of the end of 1950. Used in connection with the 1952 Presidential election campaign, it would probably make the total Foundation election boodle fund the largest in the history of the country. It would probably prove sufficient to saddle the Democratic Party and its program of Marxist Rockefellerism on the nation for at least another four years—and their totalitarian rule.
The New York Times announcements that have been recounted were preceded on September 21, 1950, by one of the "scoops" for which Walter Winchell is so renowned. He announced in the New York Journal American:
". . . the Ford Foundation will distribute its $80,000,000 tax exempt fund in the field of social science—particularly the training of men for government services."
Eliminating any doubt as to the influence of the Rockefeller Foundation over the activities of the Ford Foundation, the report stated:
"Winchell said the Foundation 'studied the workings of the Rockefeller Foundation and others, before deciding to devote its wealth to social sciences rather than medicine or other physical sciences'."
With Hoffman in control, no time was lost in launching the Ford Foundation in an intensive thought-control and propaganda campaign. The first step was announced on February 20, 1951, in the New York Times, under the headline, "Ford Foundation Sets Up Educational Study". The Foundation announced the creation of a Fund For The Advancement of Education, with an initial grant of $7,154,000. The chairman is none other than Frank W. Abrams, chairman of the board of Rockefeller's Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey. The president is Professor Clarence H. Faust, dean of the college and of the graduate library of Rockefeller's University of Chicago, who had been transplanted in 1947 to Leland Stanford University as Dean of the Humanities and Sciences. The board of trustees include the following:
A fund for adult "education" was announced as one of its first activities in the N.Y. Times of April 24, 1951. Adequate secrecy for the activities of the Foundation that could not stand the light of day was provided by its announced policy of leaving publicity on grants to the discretion of the grantees.
Censorship of the press on an international basis was the next venture of the Ford Foundation, in the form of the International Press Institute. It was entered into in collaboration with the Rockefeller Foundation,, that had never been brazen enough to openly launch such a venture, but now saw the opportunity to do so through one of its less suspect agencies. The purposes of the Institute stated in the Times announcement on April 10, 1951, are as follows:
"First, the furtherance and safeguarding of the freedom of the press, by which is meant free access to the news, free expression of views, free publication of newspapers; second, achievement of understanding among editors and so (Ed.: good rhetoric is apparently of no interest to these distinguished editors) among peoples; third, the promotion of free exchange of accurate and balanced news among nations; and fourth, the improvement of the practices of journalism."
There is no record that the ultra-Red Newspaper Guild which herds the newspaper staffs of the nation, and especially that of the New York Times, in the service of Communism, Russia and the Rockefeller-Soviet Axis, had the slightest word of protest against the Institute, in spite of its rigid control of all activities and organizations broaching on newspapers. Within a short time the Times announced "seminars" on newspaper topics held by the American Press Institute, Columbia University.
Television, which has such tremendous potentials for propaganda, subversion and political control, was the field of activity next entered into by the Ford Foundation. On June 13, 1951, the N.Y. Times announced that the Ford Foundation had launched, in cooperation with the National Association of Radio & Television Broadcasters, a study to determine "how commercial television can contribute to 'a better level of educational, informative and more culturally mature programs' " in the form of an experimental and radio workshop to prepare special programs and offer them to sponsors. James Webb Young, consultant to the Foundation, is quoted as stating that commercial broadcasting would have great social significance and that:
"It is this powerful stream of commercial broadcasting which in my opinion, will be the real impact of television on this country—on its level of information, its emotional maturity and on its unconscious behavior patterns."
This powerful weapon of propaganda, thought control and subversion, the conspirators openly propose to control through the Ford Foundation:
"In the workshop it would undertake to produce, probably on film, 'programs with a content in line with the foundation's purposes . . ."
Once again it is curious to note that the Communist elements, usually so active and vociferous in all matters that touch on propaganda, have raised no objection to this program. It must be quite to their liking. The reason may be discernible in a broadcast made by a Columbia Broadcasting System panel on Sunday, August 19, 1951. The participants were Representative Reva B. Bosone (Democrat, Utah), Rev. Paul C. Payne of the crimson Board of Christian Education and George H. Shaw, former Assistant Secretary of State. They refused to lay the blame for destruction of the morality of the nation's youth on the perversion and subversion of the educational system of the nation by the Rockefeller-subsidized Communist "educators" who openly teach in our schools and through all avenues of publication that morality is an anachronistic, bourgeois foible, weakness or vice; or on the wholesale corruption, perversion and treason of public officials.
These callous propagandists and perverters of the truth followed the line laid down by the Communist Party and by President Truman in his speech before the American Legion and by the Democratic National Committee, in preparation for trick campaign oratory and for pulling the wool over the eyes of the "peasants". They laid the blame for the immorality on the exposure of corruption, treason, perversion and immorality, especially in the course of political campaigns. They call the exposure of such corruption, treason, perversion and other immorality, "character assassination", until the day that the party involved is thrown behind bars; and they apparently feel that the offenses do not exert an evil influence even then, except in the process of exposure and prosecution. In short, the damage is not in the crime but in its exposure. It is a new version of the old idea held by the criminal, that the only crime is being caught.
This cry of "character assassination" sounds strange coming from the mouth of Harry Shippe Truman, the vestige of the courageous American Senator who, in 1942, "assassinated" the character of Rockefeller's Standard Oil Co., his present day bosses, with the truthful charge of treason. It sounds even stranger coming from the mouth of a clergyman in defense of Senator Tydings and his shameful protection of subversion and treason.
The Rockefeller-dominated Trust has made it impossible to set up any sizeable fund or foundation for the fostering of Americanism or the support of the Constitution. The Constitution is an anathema to the conspirators and is never mentioned by them in any of their programs. Any organization for Constitutional education invites the fury of the conspirators and all the persecution and prosecution which their puppet public officials can bring to bear. But in the case of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, another technique was used, one that has become the standard among the conspirators in blocking the philanthropic intent of true Americans.
In 1934, Alfred P. Sloan, then president of General Motors Corp., member of Rockefeller's Council On Foreign Relations, announced a gift of ten million dollars to establish the Sloan Foundation for the purpose of effecting
" . . . a broader as well as a better understanding of the economic principles and national policies which have characterized American enterprise."
He appointed his brother Harold Stephenson Sloan, who obtained his M.A. of Columbia U. in economics, in the year 1926, and became associate professor of economics at the N.J. State Teachers College, visiting professor of economics at New York University and lecturer at Columbia U., vice-president and executive director of the Sloan Foundation. He occupied this post until 1945.
Under his directorship, the Sloan Foundation was reincorporated as the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Inc. (Delaware). The foundation became a hotbed of Marxist "science", otherwise known as "social science", and the "Americanism" that it promulgated was Soviet Americanism. To what extent New Deal pressure was responsible for the subversion of the Foundation is not known. But the Treasury Department has been capable of ruling that to foster Americanism is "to engage in propaganda", a ruling that would bar the Foundation from tax exemption. But it never has been known to rule that spreading Communist and New Deal propaganda is "to engage in propaganda".
The board of trustees of the reorganized Foundation, which was unquestionably dictated by the Rockefeller interests through the Treasury Department, as indicated by its personnel, included:
Assisting Director Sloan, as "educational" director, was Miss Eunice Fuller Barnard who was a member of two organizations listed by the Department of Justice as "subversive and Communist":
1. The Joint Anti-Fascist Refugee Committee which supported the activities of Gerhardt Eisler as ranking Soviet agent in the U.S.; and 2. The Conference on Pan American Democracy. The outstanding achievements of the Foundation under this direction were:
1. Public Affairs Committee Inc. which was supported with grants that totalled $379,947.20) ?>
2. Institute of Post-War Reconstruction, with $59,212.
3. Educational Film Institute, with $75,000, for the production of Communist films with music by Rockefeller protege, Hanns Eisler.
The Public Affairs Committee was described by the House Committee on Un-American Activities as "an organization which issues higher quality pamphlets on subjects related to those adopted for propagation by the Communist Party." Its founders were:
Evans Clark, one of the first employees of the Soviet Information Bureau in the U.S., director of the Twentieth Century Foundation, and member of Rockefeller's Council on Foreign Relations.
Frederick Vanderbilt Field, whose record as a sponsor of Communist causes and membership in Rockefeller's Council on Foreign Relations is recounted in these pages.
Maxwell S. Stewart, editor of the Committee's publications, who was identified by Louis F. Budenz as a Communist Party member on the authority of Earl Browder, taught at the Moscow Institute, was associate editor of the Moscow Daily News, and has fifty-two citations for affiliations with subversive organizations.
It is not surprising that the Public Affairs pamphlets, written by such authors as Maxwell S. Stewart, Carey McWilliams, Morris Ernst, Harold Loy Ickes, Ruth Benedict, Gene Weltfish, Robert E. Cush man and Dr. Charles E. A. Winslow are rated as Red propaganda and reading recommended by the Communist Party. The pamphlet written by Benedict and Weltfish, entitled Races of Mankind was barred from circulation among the Armed Forces after protests by the House Military Affairs Committee against its Communist propaganda.
Under the secretary-generalship of Henry Allen Moe, director of the American Association of Rhodes Scholars, trustee of the Rockefeller Foundation and of Rockefeller's Museum of Modem Art, the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation has supplied fellowships and support almost exclusively to Communist fellow travelers selected by the Standing Committee headed by Dr. Linus Pauling, a frequent sponsor of Communist-organized protests and fronts. Among the Fellows are:
| Louis Adamic | Newton Arvin | Peggy Bacon |
| Carleton Beals | Albert Bein | Alvah Bessie |
| Marc Blitzstein | Kenneth Burke | Harriet Buckmaster |
| Jack Conroy | Aaron Copland | Adolph Dchn |
| Angner Enters | Kenneth Fearing | Hallie Flannagan |
| Mordecai Gorelik | William Gropper | Albert Halpcr |
| Josephine Herbst | Granville Hicks | Abram L. Harris |
| Maurice Hindus | Langston Hughes | Rolfe Humphries |
| Joe Jones | Otto Klineberg | Owen Lattimore |
| Douglas S. Moore | Carey McWilliams | Lewis Mumford |
| Alexander North | Max Nomad | Saul K. Padover |
| Nathaniel Peffler | Bernard Reiss | Earl Robinson |
| Isidor Schneider | Harry Slochower | Maxwell S. Stewart |
| Tom Tippett | Genevieve Taggard | Charles R. Walker |
| Edmund Wilson | Richard Wright | William E. Zcuch |
Not included in the above list is one notable. Professor Margaret Schlauch, who left the U.S. to become a teacher in Communist Poland.
The Rosenwald Foundation, under the directorship of Edwin R. Embree, former vice-president of the Rockefeller Foundation, and avowed Marxist, persistently engaged in Communist agitation, especially among Negroes. Dr. J. W. Holley, Negro educator and founder of the Albany State College for Negroes, called the Rosenwald Foundation one of the principal agencies fostering hatred of the whites by a campaign that accused them of robbing the colored folks of their rights. It contributed, with Rockefeller's General Education Board, to the Bethune College for Negroes that is headed by Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, who is listed in the California Un-American Activities report as one of the "well known Communists".
It also supported liberally the American Council on Race Relations, on the board of which Embree served with Mrs. Bethune and Will W. Alexander, a vice-president of the Rosenwald Foundation named by Lauchlin Currie, as friend of Nathan Gregory Silvermaster, who was accused of complicity in Communist spy ring activities. The Council was also supported by the Rockefeller Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation, and the president of the latter served on the Council's board.
The Foreign Service Educational Foundation that undertakes to indoctrinate men who wish to enter, or are in, the Diplomatic Corps, in 1950 turned over to Owen Lattimore's pro-Communist control its School of Advanced International Studies, to be merged with his Walter Hines Page School of International Relations at Johns Hopkins U. that has been liberally subsidized by the Carnegie Corporation and the Rockefeller Foundation.
Instances of subversive activities of a host of foundations merged into a Foundation Trust by the Rockefeller interests, can be cited endlessly. Enough has been related to make it clear that they are a grave menace to the nation, a power above and beyond our government, the adjunct of an invisible super-government that boldly and baldly engages in subversive political activities and undertakes to impose a dictatorship on our country. In their political activities the foundations that comprise this Trust violate the provisions of the laws that make their existence possible by according them tax exemption on the condition that they refrain from political activities. By failure to comply with the law, this group of foundations provide the immediate instrument of their destruction. For it is inconceivable that the courts will hold that in their pro-Communist political activities they were engaged in "education" and not in politics. By mere enforcement of the law this social cancer can be and should be destroyed.
It remains to be seen if these foundations and their sponsors are more powerful than the nation that created their right to existence. There is delicious irony in this situation, that provides that the self-same Marx-inspired tax laws that the conspirators promoted to impoverish the nation and enrich their sponsors, shall serve to destroy them and rid the land of their menace.
One fact emerges from a study of the foundations. Directly or indirectly they are all controlled by the Rockefeller interests. Under the provisions of the law and its administration, no important foundation can exist without their acquiescence,
