right recognized in the United
States If the Senate ever ratifies
the proposed Covenant on Human
Rights.
We may now proceed. Mr.. Presi-
dent, to trace this attempt to re-
peal the Bill of Rights from its
inception. The story began in San
Francisco in the year 1945 at the
conference to establish the United
Nations. At that time it was gen.
orally believed that the primary
purpose of the UN would be to
maintain peace through diplomatic
negotiation and collective military
security. Representatives of t h e
State Department at San Fran
cisco did not confine themselves
to creating an organization limited
to the problems of maintaining
peace. They established for them
selves the more ambitious goa |
of creating a universal standard
of social and economic justice. In
this project, the Secretary-Gen-
eral of the United Nations Con-
ference, Alger Hiss, played a
leading role. The United Nations
Charter, of course. was ratified
by the Senate, but only because
of the Senate's reliance on Article
2 which provides that nothing con-
tanned in the Charter should be
construed to alter the domestic
law of any member Nation. Since
then, however, the United Ma
tions has devoted most of its time
and money to projects intended to
provide everyone in the world
with a common social, economic,
and cultural way of life.

the establishment of Il sub-com-
mittee of the UN Commission on
Haman Rights The sole Ameri-
can representative on that SUBJ
committee was Zechariah Chafee,
Jr., Professor of Law at Harvard
University. The draft prepared by
the subcommittee on freedom of
the press was superior TO, Blu t
in general similar TO the recently
completed draft of the full COM
mission. The subcommittee on
which Professor Chafee served
came to this conclusion in Febru-
ary, 1913:
The right to freedom of
expression carries with it
duties ant responsibilities.
Penalties, liabilities, or re-
strictions limiting this right
may therefore be imposed for
causes which have been clear
~ defined by law, but only
in regard to (seven types
Of expire sSions which are
named)."
Less than q year prior to this
report of the UN subcommittee,
Professor Chafee joined in tn e
report of the so-called Hutchins
Commission on Freedom of tn e
Press on which he served as Vice
Chairman. 1t is fair to assume,
therefore, that the duties. respon-
sibilities, penalties, liabilities, and
restrictions which are described in
the Hutchins report, A Free and
Responsible Press" are the same
as those contemplated by tn G
UN Commission on Hum n
Rights.
The Hutchins Commission rec
commended ~ that American
newspapers assume the obligations
of common carriers; ~ tn a
the Government subsidize new
publishing ventures; (3) that the
Department of Justice use h e
antitrust laws "sparingly" to
break up large units; (4) I h a t
the Government assure the public
of benefiting from any unavoid-
able concentration of press power
(4) that the Government engage
in direct competition with news
papers to inform the public with
respect to its policies; and 80 that

Similar language may be found

ately summarizes the report OF

described as subyersive.
We come now, Mr.. President
to the problem of reconciling thosl
duties, obligations, responsibilities
penalties and restrictions foun,
in both the Hutchins Commission
report and in the draft Coven
ant on Human Rights with TIL,
unconditional protection afforded
by the First Amendment. A shor
answer to the problem is h a
no such reconciliation is possible
The Hutchins Commission recog
nized this fact in the following
statement:
THE notion of rights, cost
less, unconditional, conferred
by the Creator at birth, was a
marvellous fighting principle
against arbitrary governments
and had its historical work
to do. But in the context of
an achieved political freedom
the need of limitation becomes
evident. The unavoidable and
invalid conception of birth
rights, wholly divorced from
the condition of duty, has
tended to beget an arrogant
type of individualism which
makes a mockery of every
free institution, including t e
press. This conception h as
concealed the sound basis of
our liberal polity, the one
natural right, the right to do
ones human task. From this
one right, the others can be
derived SO far as they are
valid; and into this right the
ingredient of duty is INSOFAR :
ably built" GA Free and Re-
sponsible Press" page 121).
Here, Mr.. President, IS tn
cornerstone on which the Coven
ant on Human Rights is based. |
is impossible to imagine a mor'
perfect legal basis for the m
repressive measures of atheists
tyranny. Contrary to the Declara
ton of independence, the Hutchin
Report denies that men have un
alienable rights conferred upoI
them by the Creator. The Coven
ant on Human Rights is devoit
of any reference to God. NJ e
should no longer be allowed Il
insist on the maintenance of thei
unalienable rights, according 4
the philosophy in these two doc
uments, because arbitrary govern
ments are a thing of the pas
lin the context of an achieved po
litical freedom" This is an aston
ishing conclusion in view of tn
fact the world has been movini
toward slavery rather than free
dom. Finally, this report says tha
"the one natural right" is tha
of duty which conditions all othe
rights so far as they are valid.
The conversion of God-given un
alienable rights into government

have been drawn undiluted fron
