OF Its Money by Fund for the Republic


nounced its projects. 1t Is APP
parent that most Of these are
concerned with an attempt to
discredit and ridicule. If not
abolish. the present security
system. The net result, If the
effort is successful, could only
be to bring about o relaxation
of the vigilance which the
United States has been exercis-
ing toward Communist infiltra-
ton during the cold war.
Thus. q large grant of
money has been given for a

Quoted by Q cartoonist who
regularly ridicules the security
program and is noted for his
left-wing cartoons. He has q
right to be presented on tele-
vision or anywhere else, but
this foundation which boasts
that 1t takes no position ON
these matters" has not spon-
sored any projects which
would give the American peo-
pie the other side.
just now. much of the
money Is, being used to dis
tribute books, pamphlets and
speeches by those who are OPP
posed to the present security
program. No attempt has been
made to permit the rebuttal of
those writings, many Of which
are false and contain mislead-
ing statements and half truths.
Thus one Of the directors of
the Fund for the Republic,
in q recent series Of lectures
in which he exaggerates the
defects of the present security
system. makes this sweeping
charge:
"As far as espionage is con-
cerned. it Is obvious that none
Of the programs or regulations
would have prevented the
treachery Of Fuchs, the Rosen-
bergS, or real Communists of
that ilk. All the multitudinous
restraints we have discussed
must therefore be justified, If
at all. on the theory that they
are necessary to prevent the
spread of ideas thought to be
inimical to the national safety"
Actually, II the British In
telligence Service had paid the
slightest attention to the rule
Of guilt by kinship" which
now is being denounced by the
left-wingers. it would have dis
covered that one OF Klaus
Fuchs parents was an active
Communist. This information.
If it had been transmitted to
the Federal Bureau Of Investi-
cation and to the military in
telligence Of this country,
would have been invaluable.
It was because the American
Government accepted q for
eign governments clearance
which Is not tina case today
that Fuchs got through to per-
form his acts Of treachery and.

during which period he COM
mitted his criminal acts.
It is the main thesis Of the
projects sponsored by the Fund
for the Republic that ideas"
and freedom Of thought" are
being suppressed. This is an.
old cry. Dwight Eisenhower,
in a speech on October 3, 1852.
called that contention a $50
phisticated lie" as he outlined
the specious claims Of those
who consider communism just
a political faith instead Of a
criminal conspiracy. He said
that this lie partly poisoned
two whole decades Of our ma
tional life" and that it meant
contamination in some de-
gree Of virtually every depart
ment. every agency. every bu-
reau. every section Of our Gov
eminent" He added:
1T meant a government by
men whose very brains were
confused by this opiate of de-
ceit. These men were advisers
in a foreign policy that--on
one side Of the world-weakly
bowed before the triumph In
China Of Communists hailed
as 'agrarian reformers.' On the
other side Of the world, this
policy condoned the surrender
Of whole nations to an i'm
placable enemy whose appetite
for conquest sharpened with
every victory. This penetration
meant a domestic policy whose
tone was set by men who
sneered and scoffed at warn
ings Of the enemy inflltrat-
ing our most secret counsels.
It meant-in its most ugly
triumph-treason itself"
This Is the Eisenhower con-
cept on which was based q
successful appeal to the Amer
lean people. Yet the Fund for
the Republic is out to prove
that 1t was all a myth or the
result Of a social pressure Il. !.
that has tended to suppress
conscientious nonconformity."
This very week the Commu-
mist Party. outlawed by Con-
gress because it is an agent of

spirscy, fled q brief in the
Supreme Court Of the United

ments Of the American left
wingers and called for the
court to declare invalid the
laws passed by Congress which
require the Communist Party
to register and disclose what it

The Ford Motor Company is
displeased with the use being
made of the $15-million dona-
ton bestowed by it on the So
called Fund for the Republic.
which now is engaged in ac-
tive propaganda seeking to dis
credit the security system Of
the United States Government.
This is the project which Ma
tional Comdr. Seaborn P. Col
Inns Of the American Legion
recently denounced.
Likewise, not only does the
Ford Foundation, which OBJ
tanned the funds from the
motor car company and which
gave them to the independent
corporation known as the Fund
for the Republic. assume no re-
sponsibility for what has been
done thus far with the money
but the trustees of the founda-
ton are very much disturbed
by the kind Of campaign that
has been undertaken.
The foregoing factual state
ments have been obtained
from sources most familiar
with what has happened. 1t
seems likely that a congress
sional investigating committee
viii at the next session seek
to put on public record all
the strange aspects of this
$15-million project.
1t is learned that Paul Hoff-
man, now chairman of Stude-
ker-Packard Corp. and who
at one time was the head of
the Ford Foundation. incurred
the displeasure of some Of the
trustees Of the foundation. and
his resignation. was conse-
quently submitted. But at
about the same time a broad
declaration was approved by
the Ford Foundation concern
ing q project to be instituted
by the Fund for the Republic
and Mr.. Hoffman became its
chairman. The stats m e mt
issued at the time said the
object was ITO support activi-
ties directed toward the elimi-
nation of restrictions on free
dom of thought, inquiry, and
expression in the United
States, and the development Of
policies and procedures best
adapted to protect these rights
in the face Of persistent inter-
national tension"
The words of the charter
were broad enough to permit q
fair and dispassionate study,
giving, all sides of these con-
troversial questions. But the
Fund for the Republic consists
Of q board Of directors pre-
dominantly from the left wing.
It is headed up by Robert NJ.

from politicians in the Bundle
stag, but also from q large
number Of German citizens.
Mr.. Adenauer and his sup
porters countered this by tell
ing the Germans that German
unity could not be achieved
unless the country was as
strong militarily as it is eco
nomically. The Chancellor and
his followers scoffed at the
Soviet suggestions for direct
negotiations with Bonn as an
other Red trick TO separate the
peace-loving Western powers
and further weaken their ca
pabilities against eventual ag-
gressions. Rightly or wrongly,
however, many Germans be-
lieved that some preliminary
basis for German unity might
be laid at the Moscow meeting.
This belief was a sequel to the
sweetness and light attitude
Of the Russian leaders at the
Geneva conference which was
fully reciprocated by the West
ern heads Of state.
The Russians refused even
to consider the question Of re-
uniting divided Germany at
the recent Moscow conference.
The result has been. that the
German people are now be-.
coming increasingly. convinced
that the Russians alone-and
not the Western aAies-can
decide when and how Germany
can be reunited. ~

The incest thing about the
fair, from the viewpoint of the
Leipzigers, was the hundreds of
shiny autos 1t brought from the
West. ..
Entire families spent an after

the streets, lingering chrome
headlights, auto club insignia

guessing how to pronounce such
names as Buick. Chevrolet and
Vauxhall.

built long before World War II.
