Membership In United Nations, Cain
YIN Con Lead Only To World Government.
Control BY Communists, Says Editor

americas sovereignty as {
nation is endangered if we be.
come part and parcel of the
United Nations because it car
only lead to world government
and control by the Communists
said Mrs. Mary Dawson Cain
editor Of the Summit Sun, in a
thought-provoking address before
members of the AS You Like II
Club of Pickens and their guests
at the Pickens Town Hall, Tues
day evening.
Mrs. Cain was introduced to the
gathering by Mayor w. S. Owen
as a citizen "waging a great fight
for a return to true American
principles" Mayor Owen was
presented by Mrs. ]. E. Maxwell,
program chairman, who welcom-
ed the group of about 125 Pick
ems and out of town visitors.
Mrs. Cain discussed Article vi
Of the American constitution
which stipulates that treaties
signed by the President of the
United States and ratified by
two-thirds of the Senate become
the law Of the land and take
precedence over our national
laws passed by congress and
state laws enacted by the various
state law-making bodies.
The speaker explained how
membership in the UN with its
treaty-making could hopelessly
involve the United States with
the affairs of the SO other ma
tons who are members and each
of which has one vote like the
U. S. regardless of size.
She told of the organizational
set-up of the UN into the Assem-
bly, and Security Council made
up of five permanent members,
France, Russia, China, England
and the USA, and six members
elected on temporary (2-year)
basis. These eleven men are re-
sponsible only to the ones who
name them-not to their respect
i've countries. General Marshall
has said that every suggestion
made by our people has been
vetoed in the Security Council.
Mrs. Cain told of the part AL
ger Hiss played in framing the
UN charter having served as
Secretary-General of the group
and of how he later Went around
the U. S. saying we must ex-
change our independence for in
Independence among the nations
of the world. Hiss was later con-
victed for perjury for lying a.
bout his membership in the Com
munist party)
Russia has six votes with her
satellites in the General Assem-
bly, to one for the u. S., Mrs.
Cain charged.
The dollar diplomacy of our
State Department was scored
heavily by Mrs. Cain who ac-
cused it of trying to 'buy" the
friendship of Europe and predict
ed its ultimate failure.
She also scored England and
France for their "do-nothing" at
titude toward the war in Korea
which is daily exacting a heavier
toll of American boys and said
their desire to trade with the
Communists has sold American
interests down the river.
She quoted globe-trotter Lee
Meriwether of St. Louis, well
known in Mississippi circles, as
saying England is seeking only
to save Hong Kong which she
stole from China and France is
thinking only of her interests in
lndo-China. That is why we are
dong nothing in Korea, she said.
Mrs. Cain said when Sir Oliver
Franks, the British Ambassador.
was asked why his country was
continuing to sell rubber to Red
China and Russia he replied that
the two million Chinese must
have trade to exist.
Only IA out of so member ma
tons of the UN have any troops
at all in Korea and all of them
are token except the U. S. which
furnishes 135 men for each 1O0,-
600 population. In comparison
France furnishes two per 100000
population, Greece II, England
10, and Turkey 81.
The United States has lost Il
times as many of our boys as
any other nation represented in
the fighting, she said.
There are As nations who don't
contribute a single soldier yet
they vote and determine the po-
Icy that keep American men and
