Another paper in this series castigates Syngrnan Rhee, President. of South

Do Friends wish to condemn the Christian regimes oi Guatemala, of
Cliiang Kai-shek and Syngman Rhee and give enthusiastic approval oi Co;~nrnunis:n'
se countries? Tlnt is what the Service Committee is doing in their name, '
not only ir. these pamphlets but in much other literature.
Documentation such as the above couldbe continued at great length but
these must suffice to demonstrate our contention that forces are at work in
the Service Corns-nittee to pervert and destroy its usefulness as an instrument
of Christian service. Much good pacifist material is available and a rich
Quaker literature on this and other testimonies of our Society can be used to
92
meet all needs in this field. There is no excuse for continuing the circulazion
of un-Christian, subversive and highly objectionable tnatter.
One may well inquire just what is the purpose of the Service Committee in
continuing to circulate so much a.nti- -'.merica.n pro-Communist literature. Th.-
cause of kmerican Cluakerism is not advanced by pushing books and literature sue};
as we have described nor by speakers who continually rank the United States
as equal with or far below Russia. In our opinion, the vast reservoir of good-
will built by devoted Quakers of earlier generations is being exhausted by tho-cc
who have turned the Religious Society oi Friends into a left-wing, - -

" PERSONR
During the past 20 years, the tendency to employ more and more non-Friends
in Service Committee work has been rapidly growing. Some of the signers of
this document have heard an officer of the Service Committee defend socialism
in public debate. Others have heard an officer of the Service Committee declare
in public that we would never have peace until capitalism was abolished. Some
of us have seen maladjusted persons appointed to responsible positions in for
service and have witnessed moral breakdown of the most objectionable kind by
administrator's of Service Committee work. In a. large organization, lapses of
this kind. are, of course, inevitable but it points to the importance of more care
in the selection of personnel. Many of us think it would be better to do less work
and to employ Friends to do it rather than to enlarge activities to the point of
rnalting proper care and supervision almost impossible. The large preponderance
of funds coming to the Service Committee from non-Quaker sources is probably
the reason forthe enlargement of activities and for the employrnent oi so many -

The Mayor oi a large French city once helped two of the signers of this
document to locate 3. suitable building for a colony oi children. at his su3_;es:ion
a luncheon was served to some of the leading citizens when the colony was opened.
Food was scarce and those participatingfurnished what they could. "is we
assembled, the lvlayor made a gracious speech about the work of the Q-..-.a.<..-rs
and ended by saying, rather apologeticallyi, that he knew there would be no wine
at a Quaker luncheon and for the benefit oi the non-Quakers he had brought along
a few bottles» He politely inquired if he might serve it. Of course, we consezzzed
that it be served to those who wanted it but we were gratified to note that none
of the Quakers participated. The time-honored Quaker testimony of abstaining
from the use of alcoholic drinks was upheld.
Irnagine our chagrin, when a little later, four top Service Committee leaders
from the United States rnade headlines in the papers for participating in the French
custom of wine-drinking. There was hilarity about the clinking of Quaker glasses
and we felt that our testimony had been compromised. _
A non-Quaker from America, serving on our staff, told us later that when
she accepted service in the Cual-ter organization she discontinued smoking and
drinking and tried to live by what she thought were Fualter standards. She was
much relieved, she told us, to find an American Quaker not one or the four re-
ferred to above! engaging in both practices and assuring her that she rniglit
resume them.

In the spring of 1959, the Service Comrnittee held an Institute at Dover, 1*
New Jersey. K Congregational minister in attendance reported that he heard
the name oi God mentioned only twice and then by two persons who denied His
czcistencc. This atheism was not challenged on the part of the leaders of the
conference nor by other conferess. The Institute was concerned with political
and economic considerations and the only evidence the minister saw of religious
concern was two small sessions for meditation at which only seven persons out l
of si:-tty conferees were present. The minister reported that left-wing thirlsing
and discussion dominated the conference.
Shortly after this conference, this same minister received an invitation to '
attend a meeting at a private home in one of the better residential sections of
New York. He was unable to go but a Methodist minister of his acquaintance
did attend. The latter re orted that few of the small trout: of about twent erson P .8 . Y P
present at this meeting were introduced to others. The only speaker was a
Communist member of the Russian delegation to the United Nations. l-le was all
smiles and suavity while he denounced the United States, distributed Soviet
Russian cartoons showing our country as a bloody butcher interested only in
squeezing the last drop oi wealth from its own citizens as well as from foreigners
and spoke in the most glowing terms of the democracy, social welfare and pros-
1%

The I.-Zcthodist minister attending this meeting, organized and sponsored
by the Service Committee seemingly for the purpose oi vilifying the'Unite<1 States
and.1a.iitiing the Communist regime in Soviet Russia states that it had every
appearance of a. Communist cell meeting. The address of the Russian official
occupied the entire time and there was nothing else on the program.
l One of the signers of this paper wrote the iolloxving editorial published
in Christian Economies December 29, 1959!

"ON NOVElviBE§¥_. THE 21st, the Editor attended a meeting in New York
City arranged by the Arrierican Friends Service Committee in its series Th:
Quest for Peace." One of the round-table groups was addressed by a Russian
Communist, assisted by another Russian Communist who had a better command
of English. The former read a paper, the central theme of which was that the
Soviet government desired only to live in peace with. all nations and would
never thin}: of interfering in the internal affairs of any other country.
"The participants in the discussion consisted of three or four Friends, one
anti-Communist student and a group of pr-Communists or starry-eyed idealists
who seemed unable to distinguish between fair words and facts.
"At the appropriate point in the discussion period, the Editor said, "-Fe
have listened to a beautiful ideal but, unfortunately, Soviet action is just the
reverse. -Then he referred to being in5§aain during the Civil War in the 30's
when Russian military men were masterminding one side of that struggle.

at once, apparently to drown out further comment. .-/hen quiet was restored,
the Russian Commwiists stated that they were not in Spain and knew nothing
about that situation.
U
"The Editor then referred to other flagrant interventions in Finland,
"Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Czechoslovakia, Poland, and elsewhere but the
pro-Russian Americans made so much noise that the Soviet Communists had
no opportunity to comment even though they had wished to do so. This appeared
to be a part of the plan to relieve them from the embarrassment of facing the
facts.
' Y/hen order was restored, the anti-Communist student asked, "".~'~I'hat about
Hungary: ' One of the Russian Communists said, That againl' and further
discussion was drowned out by the claque.
Later the Editor secured permission o_:' the Chairman to make a. short
statement, the essence of which was as follows:
The heart of the matter is lack of confidence. Soviet literature
is shot through with statements by your leaders, boasting that you
use false promises, misrepresentation and deceit as instruments
of policy to deceive your opponents and gain your ends. These have
never been repudiated. After the Second World "er, the United
States called its armies home and dumped its munitions into the sea.
We trusted you. "Ne disarmed but you continued your aggression by
taking over country after country. Finally, in fear of your continued
aggression, my country felt forced to re-arm and to establish oases
in an effort to protect itself and other free countries. You Comrnunists
call for disarmament; we tried it and you took advantage of us by the
subjugation of one country after another. '
At this point, the claquc opened all the stops and produced such confusion
that tlfu Soviet Communists were able to avoid comment. A conferee who
seemed eager to defend -the Soviet government stated that she did not believe

An Editor of LQOK, who is a concerned Christian and an active church
mernber, concluded his report on the addresses, discussions and literature offered
for sale in a Service Committee Institute held at Hotel Onondaga, Syracuse,
New York, February 22nd to Z-Sth, I952 with the following statement:
"The only conclusion Icame to is this: Thatithe whole C_'u:;.<er

mission belt for the Party line idea, s inanipulated constantly
by agents of Soviet Russia. It is inconceivable to me that any
Cualcers can call themselves intelligent and follow this prop;i-

it, they are stupid, and if they are not stupid, then they are
completely subversive in my opinion.

those in need, a. service which others were neglecting to do. In this service,
. =1 better way of living was demonstrated. " The process was hurnble and slow.
There ere no strings attached. There was no fanfare anti no publicity.
But actions were eloquent in their portrayal of the Quaker message.
Resultswere:
1. Quakers were drawn together in their Service Committee work. .
2. The approach to world problems was attractive and challenging
to the public.
Now, the center of emphasis in A. F.S.C. work is less on demonstrating
our faith by service and more on influencing thought on various subjects which
the A.F.S. C. management feels should be promoted.
Results are:
1. Quakers are being drawn apart by these activities.
2, Conflicts of views among Quakers are being broadly displayed
to the public.
Ids of activity and methods have shifted. _.
The Service Committee now sponsors meetings, conferences, seminars
and camps in which leaders appear whose basic philosophies and standards
of honesty are widely different from those of the Society of Friends.
.' It expresses views to the public on technical economic subjects. It gets
into politicos with policies determined at the head office. It publishes
articles in some cases written by non-Frienzls! which support its parti-
cular views or policy. Also, "findings" of certain conferences, seminars,
referred to above. are published, When the content of these publications is
criticized, the common reply oi Service Committee personnel is that "These
are not official statements of A. l- .5. C. policy.

The Service Committee BULLETIN, May-June i955, contains a letter signed

". . . . greater emphasis on work with high school-age young people who
are increasingly confronted with perplexing problems requiring personal

is becoming normal and traditional -- iriilitar_y service and a career loolt

In the pamphlet issued by A.F,S.C. , "Change Can7_I§e Pea_ce£ul,__"we find the following statement: i 7 H it C WW j 7"

Is the Service Committee COmpetcnC to recommend land redistribution
and to recommend wage scales.
Group policy decisions made by a few, particularly for the purpose oi.
espousing a position of conscience, it seems to me, is repugnant to friends.

sharp venomous attack on President S _ngman Rhee oi South Korea. It

These leaflets show a common policy of strong approval for the
Communist regimes in China, North Korea and Gautemala and strike out
viciously against cur government, or anyone in it, who has any way
opposed them. '
We do not believe that the responsible people in the Service
Committee approve of such propaganda but yet it goes on, not only in their
name but_in the name of whole Society of Friends as well. .-Xlthough Fricrzds
take the position that the rights of conscience are supreme, this pc zition
is nullified when 1"-..F,S_C. intentionally, or otherwise, speaks for F;-ienis.
The regular procedures, long established in the Religious Society of Friends,
do not control the policies of Ii, F.S.C. '
Running through the litcraturesent out by A, F,S.C, is the oft re-
peated theme that our country is in the worng. If our country did not
afford freedom to its citizens, A. F,S.C_ would not be in existence. Little
is said about the great good America does or the attempt our government has
usually made to be fair and just in its international dealings.
What is the remedy? A re-examination and re-orientation of the
policy- and p-ojects of the A.F_5.C, on the basis of:
1. What Monthly Meetings believe it should do
2.. I-Iow its activities can best be carried on to conform with the
basic concept of worthiness and responsibility of the individual
member to decide the course oi his own conscience
3. How its activities can be channeled into these areas which will
appeal as an mtlet for personal service by members of the Religious
Society of Friends

In spite of the fact that we call our Society the Religious Society of
Friends, the activities, both direct and indirect, fostered by the Service
Committee have diverted our members from the pursuit of religious rtivities
and supplanted them with purely social aims.
The greatest charge that can be placed against the Service Committee
is that in the public's eye it is the Society of Friends and can speak {or it, r
and no real attempt seems to be made by the Committee to avoid this aml>i_;u-
it/. By such action, the Committee is guilty of one of the oldest 1'0:-ms '
crime:.pu'olic deception. -
One of the favorite methods used by the Committee t ii : the 92 0 do. ,:i: .
ooposite is that pursued by the various institutes, held under its au;;pic'E:;
1 1- _38_ J
around the country each year,
I have attended only one, that at .»'-.von in $3. The title page of the
brochure carries this title: The Qt;-'1'fi---'=' .*92p,'>roael~. to C0330i:l§!O}73V7;$: -I{Z.ll*1§_¢
In the body of the pamphlet, it uses the phrase, Llualter Appror-ch in one
case it does use the phrase. "Quaker Approaches", implying that
might be more than one. .
Norman Thomas was listed to speak about the "Quaker App:-o:=.el~.. "
The closing paragraph reads as follows: "The American Friends Service
Committee is a service agency oi the Religious Society of Friends Quakers!,
The underlin-ing of the word is is t't1'y§g, own doing, but. imdc='=<:0r==d or nor.
the bold statement stands. Is there any authority for such a staternent?
"'-From the beginning, in all relations of life, Friends have rec-:>gni':.ed
that there may be honest difference of opinion on a subject, and we pride
ourselves on the fact that our Ivlonthly Meetings are conducted in love and
unity, and the discipline provides that every member has a right to speak
his mind once.
Tn a statement of policy BDSI -- from the Board Minutes of Ii-/'6/-19,
it says that the "Committee undertakes to interpret the spirit of the Christian
messages as Friends understand it. This means that both in the nature of
the peace education program and the spirit in which it is perfornaed, the
effort is made to bear a positive witness for peace and to maintain the vital
and hsitoric testimonies of the Religious Society of Friends, The use of
the word "vital" indicates that perhapssome of the testimonies might in
the eyes of the Committee be more vital than others.! To this end, it tries
to limit its educational activities to those which will directly or indirectly
foster the cause of world peace, and in these actiqjties it seeks to utiiize
speakers and leaders who in words and action manifest that spirit of love
and tolerance which is inherent in Friends Philosophy, even though their
points of view on subject matter are divergent from those of the Committee."
In a short sentence the decision was made to limit debate, in fact to
eliminate debate, and hear only one side of the story. The steel: excuse
made by the Committee is that people are already informed about the other
side, and the responsibility of the Committee is to show the opposite view-
point, under the assumed authority that they know the opposite viewpoint is
correct. They dont go so far as to say that they are devinely guided, but
up to a point that inference is made.
In the olden. days, whenever a project was discussed which in 1-nost
cases had already been started and objection was raised, Clarence was
blamed, saying, "He gets us into so inany situations wnere we can't back
out, but we all wish he hadn't promised our support.
In theory no doubt Clarence is no longer there, but last year's re»
port showed ever thirty projects. They dont blame Clarence any more.
The staff as long as money is available apparently will take on most any-
thi:-_.g on the theory that it is a good cause."'.0

' One cf the most disappointing experiences that I ltnow about was
the report made that the Service Committee had been invited into a certain
situation. To the best of my knowledge, the way they got into it was by _
"fighting" for the opportunity. 1;
_ The question of. chairmanship is one that has bothered me for a ;
long while. .-icco:-ding to the 13y-laws, ii I remember correctly, the term of

aside. Surely the Society of Friends, if they must have a. C.i1.3l'..'.;E..."l belong: .
to the Society, is not so completely bankrupt as to preclude the selection o
new chairman. There is nothing personal in this, only the good order of the
Society. -
Where do the funds come from? Rather reluctantly some figures
seem to be made available. Originally a real sizeable percentage of the con-
tributions was from Friends and friends of Friends. Today, I understand that
percentage has sh;-unit to about 20%.
In the meantime, contributions from foundations have made up the
deficit. That's the easiest money available these days. It doesn't maize any
difference how the money is accumulated. If the money, no matter how ZJ.CCLl2; .l.1-
lated, now rests in a foundation, all is forgiven, and the Service Committee ap-
parently never asks how the original money was accumulated.
Certainly large blocks of money have a way of dictating their utili-
zation. They always have, and directly or indirectly, that policy will no doubt
continue to prevail,
Most certainly, the most guarded secrets of the Committee are the
names of its contributors, but it does seem to me that we have a right to an ac-
counting, broken clown into various categories,
Probably the most controversial situation that involves the Service
Committee today is the Fund for the Republic. Interlocking directors of this
Fund are both a liability and an asset. Certainly the Society is entitled to lcnow

his presence on the Board indicates his approval of the operations of the Fund, in
the absence of any statement to the contrary. .
Of course, there is another close connection between the Fund and
the Committee personnel that may be more responsible for the close cooperation.

In the past, the Society has taken precautions to see that everything
that was said in the name 0' Friends was done under the authority of a regular-
ly constituted body. But today we not only have no control over what the Service
CO!':lZ'.'ll°£¬1Ll?. does or says, but much worse, the distribution of other material not
written by Friends, not approved by anybody. goes out in the A..I-.S.C. envelope,
carrying the implication that Friends have approved.
' It can be said that so far as I was concerned when a. member oi the
Board that even then it was a major occupation to read everything that the

_ It doesn't seem to be anybody's job ' to go over .w'nat is released in
the name of the Committee. Each area office seems to have a free lance op-
portunity to do anything they please, just as long as they raise the money locally,
Security Risks ' ' C
Probably the Service Committee is more interested in Civil I_.i'oer-
ties than any other activity at the present time. It seems easier to get money
for such activities and it must always be .remembered that time Service Cornniittce
gets its bread and butter by involving themselves in those activities for whicl-. it
can raise funds.
Pore research is hard to finance.
In its employment policy the first requirement is that the applicant
be in syrnpathy with the ideals of the Service Cornmitttee. What chance has 0. i
capitalist-minded person to get a job under these circumstances? Peat cn:.:~.:.e
is there tn: someone with new ideas will get a job? In other words, the pat:-:.-rn
is definitely set. .
C Secondly of more significance is the "security" rating which pre-
vails in the selection of applicants.
1. Those jobs for which Friends only are acceptable.
2. Those jobs for which friends of Friends are acceptable.
3. Those jobs for which non-Friends are acceptable.
_ Pernetuity
The perpetuity set-up is probably the worst thing about the Service
Committee Board. It reports to noonc and it takes orders from no one. i'.-hat
right has it to continue to call itself Friends? Just choosing Friends to be
Board members is no protection to the Society as a whole. In fact, it is subter-
fuge of the worst calibre.
. 3i3Q.9l?¥E-53; -TIQNS
We wonder how Friends feel about having their best known and most
heavily financed organization carrying on such socialistic and communist propo-
ganda as hereinbefore cited and what will they do about it?
The Service Committee is a self-perpetuating body. It is a law un-
4
to itself, entirely outside the control of our Yearly Meetings. Nevertheless,
in the mind - oi the public, it is the voice of the Society of Friends, EriendsI

are therefore being judged, not by the activities of their own regularly con-
stituted bodies, but by those of an unofficial group which is not responsible to
or controlled by it. ' ; . _
M33? of us believe that the Service Committee should be lrought
under the control of our Yearly Meetings. This could be accomplished if its
Board of Directors were appointed by our several Yearly Meetings. This seems
to be the only way that Friends can limit aad control A. F.S.C, activities.
1.. ,
-'.'e believe that the program of the Service Committee should be
greatly Slrnpliifled so that the members of the i3oa.rd of Directors could follow
its activities and the Executive Secretary could be aware cf everything that is
being clone in its name. Frojects should be calrefully studied and closely
supervised. A competent Book Committee should read carefully every boolt
before it is recommended or sold. Another committee on literature should do
the same for pamphlets, publications and reports of all kinds.
A third committee should carefully screen all speakers employed
by the Service Committee Institutes, or in other capacities, to make sure of
their nigh Christian character, their loyalty, their patriotism and their
competence to cngage in the activities at hand,
There should be more careful screening of personnel to be sure of
elierticter and commitment to Friends ideals as well es competence for the
job.
Another serious feature of this matter is that the Service Committee
ainly financed by non-Quaker money and very largely operated by non-
Quaker personnel. This is doubly serious when the Service Committee, with
stron1_.;er financial backing, goes into the territory of a. Yearly Meeting and.
in many respects, contradicts and even overrides the program of the Yearly

Mceting. No wonder many Friends feel deeply about this matter.
Many of US think the Committee should not work Wlfilln the limits
of a Yearly Meeting unless it is very careful to make sure that the Yearly Meet-
ing approves of all activities conducted within its area. l
Our danger is not that Friends have lost their ideals but that they
are not sufficiently alert to prevent their institutions from being used by sly,
scheming wolves in sheep's clothing who circulate so freely among us! We need
to sharpen our wits, watch carefully, spot them and stop them before they vul3a- i
I
rise and pervert the ideals of Cluakerism and of our free Christian civilization.
We question the wisdom of branch cffices and would prefer that in-
digenous Friends carry on such activities under local or Yearly Meeting aus- Q
~. l;
= "' ' ' - 1 I Epices. If the Service Committee has funds available for such. work, they could !
l
be used to subsidize these local activities. In any event, branch office activities 1
should be conducted only with the approval of the Yearly Meeting or Meetings in
the area, If the Yearly Meetings appointed members to the Board of Directors
of A.,F_S.C, , the members appointed by each Yearly Meeting could supervise
Service Committee activities within the limits of the Yearly Meeting in question. z
These comments and suggestions are offered. humbly in the hope that
they may be useful to Friends in thinking through the difficult questions in-
volved. We want to see the Service Committee restored to the its of high
esteem it formerly occupied in the minds of Friends and non-Friends. We want
to be able to regard. the Service Committee with pride and affection and to help
make it a strong instrument for promoting the ideals of Friends.

' ADDENDA
Concerning one of the Communist meetings cited hereinbefore,
Colin Bell declared in FRIENDS JOURNAL, January 9:11, that it represented
"the desire of a specially interested group to delve more intensely into a par-
ticular problem. " One of the ministers to whom an invitation to attend this
meeting was sent is not a member of any "specially interested group". I-ie is
not lacking in understanding of the Communists. This man received his in-
vitation to the small meeting, at which only the Communist speaker was pro-
sented, through the mails -- indicating that invitations were not confined to a
st":-tall, interested group.
FRIENDS JOURNAL, January 9;;li, contained a. letter of protest from
Howard E. Ker-shner against the practice of the Service Committee in employing
Russian Communist speakers for meetings arranged in the New York area. In
his reply in the same issue of FRIENDS JOURNAL, Colin W. Bell, Executive Se-crerari
Secretary of £_~.lT5C, acknowledged that Communist speakers had been employed
and, more surprisingly stated: "It is to be expected that occasionally in the
future, Russians may be included in AFSC programs when such a course is con-
sidered helpful. "

to continue using Russian Communist speakers to propogate communism in our
Country. The question arises: "Do Friends approve of their much-beloved re-
lief organization becoming an agency for the promotion of communism? It is
our belief that few Friends will approve such action.
A former Friend, who spoke at a number of the Service Committee
Institutes about l2 years ago writes: "1 had the feeling that I was throwna;nengt."3.e intellectual, moral and social slums of communism and socialism
and that I would lilte to take a bath, get into clean clothes, and get back into
the world of decent, intelligent people who accomplish worthvthile purposes.
The same witcr continued:
One c5 the speakers at a Service Committee meeting arranged in
Whittier, California testifies that a young woman stood up and
said, "We Communists have a. spiritual affiliation with Qua'.<ers.'
Communists usually disguise themselves but in at least two
American Friends Service Committee meetings at which i spoke,
the Comuriunists came out in the open. At one meeting in Yfhittier,
I was the only speaker among six who was not a communist or a
socialist. I came back East deeply disturbed and went to Phila-
delphia to get the facts and make a protest. In the Service
Committee office, Iwas given the brushoff and the things I re- [
ported were received with no sympathy at all. At the same time,
Alger Hiss was being used as a. Service Committee speaker." - r 1
