: hard core of the Partisan move
: ment, and their initial partici-
/ patton in the reconstructed Ital-
: ian government was on a cooper
!. ative, collaborative basis" 3.
MCCARTHY SAID:
"NOw lets take a look at
! phOtOstat of a document taken
from that Massachusetts barn. :.
S This is the document that shows
| that Alger Hiss and Frank Coe
{ recommended Adlai Stevenson to
| the Mont Tremblant Conference
which was called for the purpose
of establishing foreign policy
, postwar foreign policy in Asia. i.
THE FACTS:
The Mont Tremblant Confer
ence was a conference of the In
, stitute of Pacific Relations on
Wartime and Postwar Co-opera-
ton of the United Nations in the
Pacific and the Far East. It was
held at Mont Tremblant, Quebec ;,
: from December 4 to IA, 1912.
Official records of the attend
! ance at the conference Opp. 159-
16D show that Adlai Stevenson
was not there. Adlai Stevenson's
name is not on the list of persons
to whom invitations were issued
to the conference.
The document to which Nc
= Carthy refers as having been
found in the barn in Massachu-
setts is the letter which is con-
| tanned on page OATS of volume IA
OF the McCarran Committee hear
: .jings on the IPR. The letter that
) lis quoted is one of October 81,
1912. from William w. Lockwood,
/ secretary of the IPR. to Mr..
Robert w. Barnett.
l Included among the many per-
sons suggested in that letter was
!, Gardner Cowles of the Cowles
:. Publications. which are actively
supporting Gen. Eisenhower. OBJ
viously these persons were sug-
!, gested not to represent" the
author of the letter, but rather
to represent semi-offlcial points
of view at the conference. Gov.
Stevenson was suggested as AM
official representative of Secre-
tary Knox.
MCCARTHY SAID:
whether or not Stevenson in
trodnced Hiss lat a Northwestern
University lecture November IL,
1946) is relatively unimportant
|. tBut) I am curious so Il
|, made some check as to his verac-
ity lin saying he was not in Chi
cago November IL and so could
not have introduced Hiss. In the
News of November II, 1916, it was
reported that Stevenson would
make q speech at pm. the
following day at the University
of Chicago. Stevenson we have
found was paid the sum of $3.50
for appearing to make that speech
that day."
THE FACTS:
Governor Stevenson's University
] OF Chicago lecture, "Civil-Mili-
tary Relations in the U. NJ" for
which he was paid $3.50, was
!. originally scheduled for November
IL, 1946, but postponed to Novem-
ber 81 80.
MCCARTHY SAID:
"Now in 1916, Stevenson's
speech writer (Arthur M. Schles-
niger, jr.) wrote that the present
system in the United States makes
and quote The present
system in the United States makes
freedom-loving Americans look
wistfully at Russia"
THE FACTS:
On July 90, 1946, Life Maya
zine carried an article by Arthur
M. Schlesinger jr. entitled: "The
U. S. Communist Party-SmallI
but tightly disciplined, it strives
with fanatic zeal to promote the
aims of Russia" It was one of the
first fully documented indictments
OF communism to appear in a ma
tional magazine. Mr.. SchleSingerI
was assisted in writing it by Whit
taker Chambers.
McCarthy's quotation from the
article was taken out of context.
The complete paragraph follows:
"The Communists are looking
to a next depression as their
happy hunting ground. The way
to defeat them is not to pass re-
pressive legislation or return
Martin Dies to public service, but
to prevent that depression and to-
correct the faults and injusticesl
in our present system which make
even freedom loving Americans
look wistfully at Russia. If Con-
servatives spent more time doing
this and less time smearing other
people who are trying to do it as
Communists. they would get much
further in the job of returning
the c. p. q. S. A. to it's proper
Iplace beside the Buchmanites and
Holy Rollers"
MCCARTHY SAID:
Perhaps the most revealing
article written by Stevenson's
speech writer appeared in The
New York Times on Dec. IL, 1949,
on Page 3. He says: Il happenI
to believe that the Communist
Party should be granted the free
dom of political action and that
Communists should be allowed toI
teach in universities -.
THE FACTS:
The New York Times article
referred to is found on page 3,
Book Review section, December
II, 1949. It is review by Schles-
niger of Primer of Intellectual
Freedom" edited by Howard
Mumford Jones. Mccarthy quoted
part of one sentence from the re-
view. The prepared text of Nc
Carthy's speech quoted the COM
plete sentence, but it can be-
doubted that Mccarthy ever in
tended to read it. The full SEN
