/0In all the excitement over the October. 1962, crisis in Cuba.
many Americans apparently missed the fact that the President of the
United States paid an appalling price for the Russian promise to
dismantle the Cuban missile bases.
Nearly all the newspapers canied headlines such as "Khrushchev
Backs Down," or "]FK Gets Russian Accord." Down in the small
print-which too few people readwas the shocking disclosure that
President Kennedy had made two commitments to Khrushchev which
Cuban freedom ghters could scarcely believe:
_ 1. A personal guarantee by the President that the United States
would not attempt to liberate Cuba.
2. A personal guarantee by the President that the United States
would not allow any other Western Hemisphere country to
liberate Cuba.
Khrushchevs Victory
The New York Times for October 29, 1962, carried the full text
of Khrushchevs reply to the Kennedy commitments. He shrewdly
spelled out the embarrassing details of the amazing and completely
unnecessary capitulation which President Kennedy had made in his
secret letter to Khrushchev two days earlier. Said Khrushchev:
"l regard with respect and trust the statement you made in your
' l

message on October 27, 1962, that there would be no attack, no in»-
vasion of Cuba, and not only on the part of the United States, hut
also on the part of other nations of the Westem Hemisphere, as you
have said in the same message of yours." The New York Times,
Western Edition, October 29, 1962, p. 4.! .
Those who caught the full impact of this tremendouslegal and
diplomatic victory for Khrushchev wondered how the President and
his advisors could have been so completely outmaneuvered. Only a
few days before. President Kennedy had made himself a wbrld hero
by standing up to Khrushchev and commanding the military might
of the U.S. armed services to throw a blockade around Cuba. Khrush-
chev had immediately tried to conciliate the President by promising
that the Soviet Union would not indulge in "any rash act." It was
ohvious that Khrushchev was afraid of the brink.
Note: For a brief haclzground on Castro's original conquest of Cuba see
The Naked Communist, chapter I1.
Military authorities had already advised the Wiute House that
the Soviet leaders would not dare make a war issue out of Cuba be-
cause of Americas vast superiority in re power. Latin American
countries had assured the United States of their complete support in
this new posture of U.S. rmness. Thousands of Cuban freedom
ghters had been encouraged to join "Spanish speaking units of the
U.S. Anny with the condence that the liberation of Communist-
conquered Cuba was only days away. Members of Congress openly
assured the President that this was the hour to invoke the Monroe
Doctrine and the Rio Pact to show the Soviet Union that foreign
conquests of independent nations in North and South America
would not be" tolerated. H
With such manifest forces oi unity and strength behind the
United States, why did the Administration allow Khrushchev to extort
from it a promise that there would be no attempt to liberate Cuba if the
Soviets would just dismantle their illegal missile bases? And by
what authority did the President commit the military might and
2
t
i|prestige of the United States to a policy of preventing any other
country in the Western Hemisphere from liberating Cuba?
There was also the very serious possibility that the President had
entered into a secret pact which amounted to a treaty agreement with~
out providing any opportunity to have the Senate approve it as
required by the Constitution. The treaty approving power of the
Senate was intended by the founding fathers to bring the facts out
in the open where the people could have a chance to examine the
issues before any sweeping commitments were made. In this spirit
Woodrow Wilson had strongly advocated "open covenants, openly
arrived at." The merits of such a policy were demonstrated in the
Kennedy~Khrushchev negotiations. If Khrushchev had not published
these cornmitmelits, the American people might never have heard of
them. Undoubtedly Khrushchev knew he was embarrassing the Amen?
can president by publishing what was to have remained a secret
agreement between two heads of state. p
Citizens wondered what was in the Presidents mind when he
deliberately tied the hand of the American forces and committed the
United States to a permanent policy of neutrality toward Soviet~
conquered Cuba. S
ls President Kennedy
Following the Schlesinger-Acheson Line?
Among the closest advisors to President Kennedy is Arthur M.
Schlesinger, ]r., who has openly opposed any anti-Soviet policy. He
also says the United States can come to socialism "through a series
of New Deals." He has referred to the freedom ghters behind the
iron curtain as "reactionaries" and called their lost liberties obsolete
prerogatives. As far back as 1947 Dr. Schlesinger boasted that the
State Department was following the policies which he advocated:
Though the secret has been kept pretty much from the readers
of the liberal press, the State Department has been proceeding
S 1 3

for some time somewhat along these lines. Both Bymes and
Marshall have perceived the essential need~to he rm without
being rancorous, to check Soviet expansion without making
unlimited commitments to an antiSoviet crusade. to invoke
power to counter power without engaging in senseless intimida-
tion, to encourage the growth of the democratic left. The per-
formance has often fallen below the conception; hut the direction
has been correct. Men like Ben Cohen, Dean Acheson, Charles
Bohlen, have tried to worlz out details and whip up support for
this admittedly risky program." Congressional Record. Septem-
ber 26, 1961, p. 20125, romans added.!
It was risky indeed. By the end of 1948 all of Eastern Europe
had been pnlledbehind the Iron Curtain with a loss of over 100
million allies. By the end of 1949, we had lost China with its teeming
population of between 450 and 600 million. Congressional testimony
revealed that the same tragic policy continued throughout the Korean
War. Even when there was a change of administration in 1952 the
men who were master~minding the foreign policy behind the scenes
continued to follow the stubborn. almost blind, conviction that the
Communists would change.
-As Dr. Schlesinger pointed out in his book, The Vital Center
949!, the object is to have Communism mellow and the free
democracies come together with it under peaceful socialism. That is
what he means by stating that we should contain the Soviets but
push the rest of the World toward the "democratic left. He believes
the Communist leaders should not be looked upon as enemies but
as ovetzealons allies whose brutalities must be tempered so that they
behave more like true socialists. And because the Communists are
allies in this sense. Dr. Schlesinger is not in favor of liberating any
of the Communist~conquered countries. He makes this very clear in
his statement:
"At the some time, the United States must not succumb to
demands for on anti~Soviet crusade nor permit reactionaries in

Ithe buffer states to precipitate conflicts in defense of their own
obsolete prerogatives." Ibid.! t
Notice that the freedom ghters behind the iron curtain are
referred to as "reactionaries" and their longing for liberty as "obso-
lete prerogatives." t
These views are prevalent among a certain body of powerful
policy makers who serve in the State Department and the Vxfhite
House. Their inuence seeps to the surface on numerous occasions
where it may be easily observed. V
The Policy_of Soi-tness Toward Communism
in the Cuban crisis of October. 1962, the President was ap-I
patently guided by these policy~mal<ers who followed the Schlesinger
line as outlined above. It was characterized by a determination to
remove the threat of Russian military conquest but smother the rising
ride of popular demand for the liberation of Cuba from Communism.
It was the same kind of thinking during the previous administration
which guided the State Department in supporting Castro in spite of
reliable warnings that he was a Soviet agent. Men of this persuasion
do not seem to fear the cunning of Communists the way most ordi-
nary people do. They somehow feel that the Communists can be
controlled, they can be manipulated, they can be forced to "mellow."
They therefore approach them in a spirit of accommodation and
appeasement which often violates the most elementary aspects of
protecting American interests. This is evident in the following inci~
dents which have occurred during the past 18 months. These incidents
shocked many Americans at the time they occurred, but only on rare
occasions were enough citizens paying attention to do anything about
it. Every one of these incidents created circumstances favorable to
the Communist position and detrimental to that of the United States:

4. Ordered the release from prison of Communist Party organi-

ment by force and violence. Winston immediately went to
Russia with State Department permission where he appeared on
radio and television castigating the United States.
5. Forced the anti-Communist government of Laos to accept

Soft Policy Shows Up at Buy of Pigs Invasion
In an article entitled, Kennedy's Fatehrl Decision," the U.S.
News and World Report for September 17, 1962, summarized the facts
surrounding the tragic Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba. The Readers
Digest reprinted the same article in its November, I962, issue.
The facts are not pleasant. President Kennedy had approved
the invasion which took place April 17, 1961, and he had promised
the invaders air cover. Two U.S. carriers, their decks loaded with
ghting planes, were standing by within easy striking distance. In
addition, the invaders had their own planes which they expected to
use for their protection. Here is the way the article describes what
happened:

"Secure in this assurance of air support, the invaders went ashore
in the early morning darlzness of Monday, April 17. Their land
ing was successful: 1,400 armed inen reached the beaches of a
place called the Bay of Pigs. '
"In the battle that followed, Castro's troops suffered heavy
casualties. Castro's tanks, coming up to the battle, were sitting
ducks for an attack by air. Confidently, the little invading force
waited for its air support to arrive. Its leaders had assurance of
that support. It was provided in the pre-invasion planning.
"Hours before. on Sunday evening, a small but potent force of
B~26s was sitting in readiness on an airfield 500 miles away.
waiting to take off for the Bay of Pigs. Those were planes of
the invasion force, with Cuban pilots.
"But those planes didn't take o.
The reason: President Kennedy forbade their use.
"That was the fateful decision President Kennedy made on that
Sunday evening. He decided that the anti~Castr0 Cubans could
not have the support of their own air force during the invasion.
Without that support, the invasion failed."
President Kennedy made his decision the night before the invasion
and while the invasion force was still on the high seas. Nevertheless.
the Cubans were allowed to continue their course and make their
landing without ever being told that their air cover had been cancelled.
The military aspects of the decision was one factor, the moral ques-
tion of promising these ghting men protection and then removing
it without letting them know, was quite another. It did something
to the image of American leadership in Latin American minds which
may never be forgiven.
Then there is the military aspect of the decision.
Even after the landing when officials in charge of the invasion
pleaded with the President to change his mind, he refused. Even when

they told him the mission was collapsing he remained adamant. In
this hour President Kennedy was the Commander in Chief. No one
could overrule him. Whatever his motives, they must have been
powerful indeed to resist both the advice of CIA officials and the
obvious embarrassment which the collapse of the invasion was bound
to bring.
The U.S. News and World Report emphasizes how easy it would
have been to liberate Cuba had the President's promised help been
provided:
The invaders inflicted close to 2-.000 casualties on Castro's
Iorces, suffered only a hundred or so casualties of their own.
But without air support, the invaders could not hold out. Most
of them wound up as Castro captives.
"American military officials who followed this operation say that
it came within a hair's breadth of success. They say: Given early
air support. the invaders could have destroyed Castro's air force
and tanlzs. Defections from his militia, which had started, would
have spread. Underground forces, waiting for word of success
before rising against Castro, would have sprung into action.
When that word did not come. they remained underground."
Soft Policy Shows Up
in Event Culminuting in the October Crisis
By midsurnmer, 1962, it was impossible to completely suppress
the reports from Cuba that the Soviets had landed substantial military
forces and were building Cuban bases for the launching of nuclear
missiles. Senator Kenneth B. Keating of New York carried these
reports to the floor of the Senate in August, 1962. He repeated them
during the month of September. On October 10th he declared:
"Construction has begun on at least a half dozen launching sites for
9
t
I.
It
l

-K.I
intermediaterange tactical missiles. . . . My own sources on the
Cuban situation . . . have substantiated this report completely."
The Administration seemed casuai if not indilferent to these
warnings. It is now known that by October 16th aerial photos had
veried the existence of both offensive missiles and Soviet jet bombers
in Cuba but the ollicial line continued to discount charges that a
crisis was brewing in Cuba. As late as October 20, newsmen peppered
the Defense Department with questions about the reports of Soviet
missiles and jet bombers in Cuba and were met with flat denials.
The U.S. News and World Report later published an article en-
titled: "How U.S. Newsmen Were Misled About Cuba." The article
stated:
"American news reporters and editors are complaining that they
were deceived by the Kennedy Administraion about the situation
in Cuba. Issue of November 5, 1962, p. 8.!
The President, meanwhile, was on a campaign tour, and had
run headlong into a political chill at the grassroots level wherever the
subject of Cuba came up. On the eve of an election the crisis in Cuba
had become an issue with the people. Suddenly, the President termi
natecl his tour, claiming hehad contracted "a cold, and hurried back
to Washington. _
Two days later President Kennedy went on the air and proclaimed
a blockade of Cuba. A shout of triumph went up all over the free
world. It looked as though the sleeping giant were waking up at last.
But certain aspects of the President's blockade speech were puzzling:
the Monroe Doctrine was never mentioned. there was no promise of
any help to liberate the Cuban people, the overthrow of Castros
Communist regime was denitely not on the agenda.
It was on October 27th that President Kennedy sent his secret
communication to Khrushchev promising that no attempt would be
made to invade Cuba and that no other country in the Western
Hemisphere would be allowed to liberate Cuba if the Soviet Union

would remove its missiles. It was-on October 29th that the New
York Times published the full text of Khrushchev's reply and told the
world what President Kennedy had agreed to do.
It appeared that legally and diplomatically, Cuba had been aban
doned to Communism.
The Administration team had conducted itself completely within
the framework of the SchlesingerAcheson doctrine of keeping the
Soviet within bounds but not attempting to liberate any Communist
conquered territory. V
Only one question then remained for Cuba: would the American
people stand for it? Americans everywhere seemed to feel that the
sooner Cuba was liberated the less blood it would cost. The longer
it was postponed the stronger the forces would become which inevita
bly must be rooted out. They knew it was not just for Cuba that a
new policy of rmness was required-the whole future of the world
depended on it.

It does appear Skousen has gone off the deep end to some extent.

RE: KENNETH A. WATTIER "
Edmond L. Peiss cannot be identified in Bufiles and we have
no derogatory information concerning KXLF TV. H 1'! _ ,

Freedom University of the Air" consists of 65 films of 26
minutes duratior;.,~jWhile produced by the-American Forum, Inc. , " they are
sponsored by th_<_2jm_e_1lica_n"_§ec_u_1_r_i_ty> Co'un_cig_l,_r an organization operated by
private industry as a nationa1'reseai~é'ii:_"l'§f1id information center on subversive
1 activities. Many of its members are former Special Agents including Skousen.
SAC Mason of the Cincinnati Office had occasion to see a private showing of
a pilot film from this series being used in efforts to sell the program. H-is -
letter dated $53 indicated he had doubts as to whether or not the films ,
were s¢ius11y*t¥s;¢; from editorializing as the producer claims: He stated that
he could not personally subscribe to some of the statements made by individuals
and he took particular offense at the emphasis on Skousen' s prior association
with the FBI. SAC Mason pointed out that after leaving the FBI Skousen served
as a Chief of Police at Salt Lake City and a member of the faculty of Brigham '
Young University and has engaged in other endeavors, none of which were
I mentioned in the film. His advertised former association with the Bureau is
tan obvious effort to trade on the Bureau's efforts. .i
OBSERVATION: "
The three paragraph; quotation in the item enclosed by correspondent
clearly states the Director's position. A specific organization is not criticized
but a clear warning is given to carefully evaluate persons claiming to -be experts
on communism even though they have prior association with the Bureau. -
BIQCQMMENDATION: _ - _I ' 'in-abseiice
That attached/letter be forwarded to correspondent advising
him that the Director"isjguoted:-accurately and that the "quotation clearly indicates
that he is not referring to any specific organization but presents his general views.

Bear Dr. Sheaifer:
Your letter of February lst has been received, and
I want to thank you for your kind comment concerning the work being
done by this Bureau.
In response to your inquiry, Mr. Skousen entered on duty
with the FBI as a clerk on October 24, 1935, which position he held until
June 17, 1940, when he became a Special Agent. He voluntarily resigned
'" ' on "October 5, 1951. Since I am not fully acquainted with all of Mr. Skonsen's
activities since leaving the FBI and the opinions expressed in his writings
and publications are his own, I am unable to comment along the lines you
suggested.
- lam enclosing literature oi the FBI on the general subject
of communism, and Ihope it will be of interest and assistance in connection
with the program you are planning. _

Dear Mr. Nordan: '
I here received your letter of February 12th.
with respect to your inquiry, the FBI being an investi-
gative egency of the Federal Government neither makes evaluations
nor draws conclusions as to the character or integrity of any organi-
zation, publieation or individual. Therefore, I trust you will under-
stand why I am not in a position to comment alongthe lines you have _
suggested about the book you mentioned.
It is contrary to my long-standing policy to recommend
literature not prepared by personnel of this Bureau or by me. As a e
result, this Bureau does not have a list such as you requested available
e - ttordistributioii. ' _
Sincerely yours,
Edggn .HQO_U8 _

I have received your letter of February 21st.YD
O
Mr. W. Cleon Skousen entered on duty with the
FBI as a clerk on October 24, 1935, in which capacity he served
until June 17, 1940, at which time he became a Special Agent.
His services with our organization were terminated on October 5,
1951, when he voluntarily submitted his resignation. His opinions
are strictly his own and do not represent this Bureau in any way.
I am enclosing some literature I trust will be of
interest to you. It contains suggestions all of us can use in combating
the communist menace. You may also wish to refer to my hooks,
"Masters of Deceit" and "A Study of Communism. " These were
written to help Americans gain an insight into the strategy and tactics
oi communists, both in this country and abroad. These hooks may
be available at your local library.

Dear Sir,
Last Tuesday I attended a meeting at which W. Cleon
_Skousen was the featured speaker. Posters and tickets billed
Mr. Skousen as "former F.B.I. Agent, Assistant to J. Edgar
Hoover; his:-isubject was "Retreat Means Defeat" and for almost
two hours blamed every,err0r in judgement on the part of our
government on communism - and praised to the heavens the
John Birch Society, General Walker, and Senator Thurmond.
¢ - Before going any further with my complaint to the
"Business and Professional Men's /Club" which sponsored him,
I"w_ould like more information on jwhy Mr. Skousen is no longer
with the F. B. I. - did he part under favorable conditions?
-___, His attack on the "s0ft1'92' policy of our governmentsince 1940 has so irritated me - actually this is my first
exposure to this kind of thinking - that I don't know where to
start to do my part to combat this type of thinking.
1300 people filled that auditorium and devoured
everything he said. Sad to say I couldn't always separate his
half-truths from the facts and am determined to become better
informed in order to do something positive to counteract his
type of speaker. But where to begin?

Your letter oi March 25th has been received. __
in response to your inopriry, H have repeatedly
stated that tire Communist Party in this country hes attempted
to infiltrate and subvert every segment oi our society. Its efforts
are being thwarted by the 1FBI's iotermi security programs, by
investigation, arrest and prosecution oi Party functionaries, sod
by widespread, intelligent public opposition to the communist
philosophy. These achievements are being accomplished through
orderly, legal procedures.
Despite the above, the world communist conspiracy
and its advocates in the United States continue to pose e basic threat
to our country. it is important that our citizens educate themselves
concerning the true nature oi this atheistic philosophy in order that
they will he able to resist its eroding influence. At the same time,
opposition to communism must be careful and constructive, and kept
within the due process of law. lit is not enough to be merely against
communism. We should exhibit in positive ways the superiority ofour form of government over any foreign ideology. W

students,this year as per the enclosed agenda.
I1. Onr second day will be given to a discussion of Communism, led by . " Mr Cleon skouse !b92
Recently I have been gathering some "take home material" for these students and have
come across five speeches by J. Edgar Hoover that I would like to secure. I would
appreciate knowing whether these are available through your office. If not - what
are the addresses of the publications that might have these for distribution.
, The speeches are:

Christian Herald! 1. Young People Can Help Fight Communism
. An Army of Free Men
Shall it be Law or Tyranny

. Storming the Skies - Christianity En-
counters Communism Christianity Today!
Our conference will consist of two High School juniors or seniors from each county
in Michigan, who will be sponsored to the conference by the County Farm Bureau or by
some business firm. We will have 150 students.
It is our plan to show basically four major ideas within the four days. l! We want
to show American ideals and principles, ! We want to show the philsophy of Commun- '
ism and how it challenges these American ideals and concepts, ! We want to show
how private capitalism is only compatible with a system where men have freedom and
! We want to show the necessity of a strong two party political system in main-
taining these rights and privileges. p /
Our organization has put Master of Deceit and The Naked Communist in many of the
Michigan schools libraries! but we believe that this conference will be real boosterfor American i;l§?_ls2/7/6 y

Dear Sir:
I am a conservative and many of my friends
regard me as a radical for the simple reason that I am
trying to make them see, how the mmunists have infiltratedour government and churche . order to get them to
believe I must have proof of erything I say or hear.
Mr. C1eone__5_kou who formerly behnged to
the FBI. just recently spoke in ou community. He said there
were quite a number of pastors that were either communists or
communist sympathizers in the United States.
On TV a few weeks ago a Lutheran pastor was
finding fault with Skousen and said "If this was true why did
he not name them?"
I told an acquaintance of mine that I would get
proof from the FBI. that Cleone Skousen was a reliable man and
Salt Lake City, Utah
also get the names of pastors that either were communists or communist
sympathizers. There were quite a number of pastors. I do not
know the exact number he said but it was either 3,000 or 4,000.
Could you please furnish me with this information
as I need proof in order to make my friends and acquaintances
' believe that what Mr. Cleone Skousen of Salt Lake Utah says is the
truth and that the FBI is behind him.

Gentlemen:
I would like to make a request for information concerning a W. Cleon
¬!Skousen, who pblished some kind of book about Communism, the 500k ' '
Being published by the Ensign Publishing C0,, Salt Lake City, Utah.
The following are my reasons for this request, and my position so
that you may determine just what information you will give me and
under what circumstances:
I live in a very small community, and besides my tax accounting busi-
ness, I also serve as a correspondent for the South Bend Tribune for >
this comunity alone. Last night, I attended a School Board Meeting. -»
Mr. Immel, the School Supt. told us of a request from this man, but
asked the press not to publish what he would tell us until such a
time that further information could be gathered. I have honored his
request, but am not too sure what the other two papers will do. '
He said that this man had asked that he announce there would be X
adult meetings on "Instructions about Comunism", meetings which
would alert the pblic as to the methods, etc. Before getting the'
permission, he telephoned several people Mr, Skousen! saying that
the permission was "iminent in forthcoming". Naturally, Mr. Immel
thought him presumptious, and told himlso. The man said that he hadbeen a Secret Agent for the U,S. afgkhggzbeen behind the Iron Curtain. /_,
oo yREC~131 74/- 457/45I believe in going straight to the source for any igigggaééon? sso

as he does not recall Skousen ever having been described as such.DThere is no record of Lembark in Bufiles; however, it is known that
he is an official with the Anti-Defamation League of the B'nai B'rith.
Skousen entered on duty with the FBI as a clerk
10-24-35 and was appointed as a Special Agent on 6-1'7-40. He
voluntarily resigned on 10-5-51. He has been making numerous
speeches around the country and writing articles in which he describes

Appendix is a reprint of Senate Internal Security Subcom1_
mittee publication,"A Communist Plot Against the Free fl
World Police An Expose of Crowd-Handling Methods! basedgh
on testimony of former official or Central Intelligence
Agency, 6/13/61. Book consists of articles written by
Skousen for "Law and Order," a publication of which Skohse
is Editorial Director. It skillfully creates impression .
that all demonstrations in the United States are part of the
communist plan to discredit local police. Book has six
chapters through which author develops his thesis that the
communists are attempting to destroy local police through
civilian review boards; the civil rights movement by pro-
moting campus riots through
socialists. The concluding

committees to support local
radicals. Since the author.urges formation of citizens
police to rebut propaganda of
who oppose general theme of book. For example, twice he
refers to Michael Laski as a member of the Central Commit-
tee of the Communist Party. Actually, Laski is head of .
the proChinese communist splinter group, the Communist
Party, USA, Marxist-Leninist, which has less than 20 mem-
bers. Director is mentioned 16 times in form of quotations
from testimony, books,and articles. The FBI is mentioned
ten times, almost always in regard to jurisdiction relating
to allegations of police brutality. Skousen is former
Bureau employee, entered on duty as clerk on 10/24/35, as
Agent 6/17/40, who resigned 10/5/51., Bureau has been

70 pages with a 32-page appendix. The appendix is a reprint
of a booklet issued by the Senate Internal Security Subcom-
mittee entitled "A Communist Plot Against the Free World
Police An Expose of Crowd-Handling Methods!." This docu-
ment concerns testimony of Lyman B. Kirkpatrick, then
Inspector General on the staff of the Director, Central
Intelligence Agency, before the Subcommittee on 6/13/61.
The pamphlet shows the plans of the communists to destroy
the effectiveness of the police of the free world based on
a booklet seized in Europe. Twenty-four of the 32 pages in
the appendix are devoted to diagrams showing how mobs can
defeat police countermeasures. -
Skousens book was prepared from a series of
articles which appeared in the independent publication,
"Law and Order," for which he is Editorial Director. The
book is a rehash of public source information that is well-
written. The author skillfully creates the impression
that all demonstrations in the United States are a part of
the communist plan to discredit law enforcement in order
to facilitate the taking over of our Government.
- In his six-page introduction, the author describes
the anatomy of a riot in Bogota, Colombia, in 1948 under the
direction of the Communist Party of Coklmbia. He.indicates
that the riot against the House Committee on Un-American
Activities in San Francisco, California, in 1960, was the
"curtainraiser" for the series of riots subsequently held
throughout the United States. He notes that all these
demonstrations have been followed by a barrage of propaganda
against the police and efforts made to fix the blame for /~
these "carefully concocted" upheavals directly on the heads

of local law enforcemento Believing that these activities
have had a more serious impact on the Nation than many
people realize, the author has prepared this book to alert
the American citizen that the communists believe they can
win here.

The six chapters, through their titles, indicate
the points Skousen makes. The first chapter, "The Communist
Plan to Paralyze the Police Through Civilian Review Boards?
shows the idea for such boards originated with the com-
munists in this country in the l930s and is part of the
communist plan to discredit and immobilize our local police.
The second chapter, "The Communist Plan to Fight
the Police Through the Civil Rights Movement," traces the
backgrounds of some individuals prominent in the civil
rights movement and their associations

Chapter three, "The Communist Plan to Fight the
Police by Promoting College Campus Riots," emphasizes
"Gogobierno," the system in Latin America which turns colleges
into sanctuaries for rebels. The author shows that it is
this system that radicals hope to import into the United States
so that college rebels can battle the police and return to V
the campus to be immune from punishment. He utilizes the
1965 Report of the California Senate Factfinding Subcommittee
on Un-American Activities as the basis for this chapter which
directs its attention against the Berkeley campus of the
University of California.
Chapter four, "The Communist Plan to Fight the
Police Through Misguided Ministers," is the weakest in the
book. In order to document his charges of communist influence
among the clergy, the author is forced

beginnings, show the relationship between communism and
socialism and how socialists are being used to facilitate
the communist attack on police The author attempts to
cover too much ground and, as a result, he does not
create the afterimage desired.
The concluding chapter, "The Need of the Hour:
Support Your Local Police," sets out a program of what can
be done to aid local law enforcement in the present situa-
tion. The author proposes the formation of a "Citizens
Committee to Support Your Local Police." He recommends
that the committee represent a broad spectrum of the com-
munity and avoid domination by any single civic club, church,
fraternal or political organization, He also suggests that
the committee represent the stratification of the community,
be independent but have close liaison with the local police
department. It should avoid unrelated controversial issues
and be dedicated to developing better community relations
between the citizenry and the police, Activities should
include a "Police Appreciation Week" and a "Truth Squad"
to counteract the propaganda of radicals.

seferences to the Director and the FE;
The Director is mentioned 16 times and the FBI
ten times in this book. Quotations from the Director's
testimony, books, and articles, which are accurate, account
for the frequent appearances of the Director's name in the
book. The Bureau is almost always mentioned with regard to
its jurisdiction in matters relating to allegations of
police brutality.
Pertinent_;niormation_Regarding the Author
The author,m.Cleon1Skousen, entered on duty
with the Bureau as a clerk, 10/24/35, and as an Agent,
6/17/40. He resigned 10/5/51. The Bureau has observed
a policy'd being circumspect in dealings with Skousen
because of his attempts to capitalize on his association
with the FBI in his anticommunist endeavorsan Skousen has
written several pamphlets and books on communism and has
lectured in various areas of the country on the communist
menace.

Dear Mrs. Warth:
Your letter was received on October 22nd.
With regard to your inquiry, Mr. W. Cleon Skousen
entered on duty with the FBI as a clerk on October 24, 1935, and
served in that capacity until June 17, 1940, when he became a Special
Agent. He voluntarily resigned the latter position on October 5, 1951.
His personal ventures as well as his opinions and comments since he
left this Bureau are strictly his own.
I regret I am umble to be of assistance to you concom-
ing your inquiry about the pence symbol.
Sincerely yours,

- Recently, it has been brought to my attention that the
peace symbol, the upside down Y stands for the broken cross, or
anti- Christian.
I called a bookstore in Louisville and they had a book with a
forward in it by W. Cleon Skousen who is said to be from the F. B. I.
I would very much appreciate any enligh_t___n_1ent you can give
me as to the symbol and if Mr. Skousen was a F. B. I. employee.
I want to give this shocking information to pur local P. T. A.
Nov ll.! of which I am program chairman. I want my facts to be
correct so please reply as soon as possible.
The Parent-Teachers Association is to help our community,
therefore our country. We try to raise our children to respect our great
country and its laws but so much has taken place in every phase of living
our whole moral structure has been defaced.
Thank you sir for your time and I do appreciate any help you
may give me as to the truths of this.
Sincerely,
Peggy Warth

Gentlemen: <3
I am doing a sketch on W. Cleon Skousen. In
a biography on him it states he "entered the FBI
in 1955, serving first as a special agent and later
in a supervisory positionzat headquarters". g
My question is whether or not this is true. .
Just what did W4 Clean Sknusen do in connection
Mill you please give me ,1 brief with the FBI?
rundown on his employment with it.
Sincerely,

Barty which is well known to the Bureau, and a speech by Eire? 3.. fa.69 Taft Benson, former Secretary of Agriculture. In his article, Skousen
'92.QI§states that some organizations, when they are attacked by the communist
press, remain silent and hope the thing will blow over, but a more
g:1Ls;§ch___ responsive approach such as that followed by J. Edgar Hoover when the

J _GODLESS FORCES THRBATEN US
an address by
BlderBzra Taft Benson
Godless forces threaten us. -
My text is from Paul's timely admonition:
" Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand
~.against_theiwi1es_of_ the devil, For we wrestle notagainst flesh
and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against
the rulers of the darkness of this world. against spiritual wicked-'
ness in high places. " Ephesians 6:11-12!
A modern day prophet has said, " . . .when acts and schemes are manifestly
contrary to the revealed word of the Lord, we feel justified in warning people
against them. We may be charitable and forbearing to the sinner, but must
condemn the sin. . . "i ElEa1Z_EI,TJ_E111ZS_Ol'1_CQl'li_I[lLQll.§IT1__QI'1d th_e_Cons_tit_ut_ion, by
President David O. McKay!

the deep concern and agonizing fear of alert people, especially concerned parents,

While most Americans continue to enjoy their comfortable complacency the
fact remains that the American way of lit'e-with a spiritual foundation--which
has given us the highest standard of living and more of the good things of life
than any other system, is under powerful attack.
The Godless world-wide Communist Conspiracy expects one day soon to take
over the United States. With the active support of some 150 known or suspected
Communist fronts and infiltrated groups identified by the F. B. I. Human Events
9:20-69!; with almost half the student bodies of colleges and universities of ,
America reported to have elected presidents who support the revolution; with acts
offtreason against the United States committed daily throughout the nation and laws
on treason and sedition shattered by decisions of the Supreme Court; wit-h riots
in l25 cities within five days time, 2600 buildings burned and 713 of them in the
Nation's Capitol; with revolutions interrupting operations of 200 colleges and
universities since Christmas; with the Reds ordering the New Left to "close down
100 universities in 1970; " and with the constant aid of leftists, dupes, fellow
travelers and complacent citizens, the Conspiracy is now moving into the final
stages for a nationwide "revolutionary take-over. " The National_Progra_m letter,

One of the most prominent targets now under withering fire in this war
against ourselves is the Ten Commandments, the Sermon on the Mount, the
Constitution of the United States, the institution of private property, and the
basic concepts of the Gospel of Iesus Christ. Surely this is a time when
consideration might well be given by the people of America, and the entire
free world, to the important matter of citizenship responsibility, and more
importantly, membership in the churches of the free world.
Today we face insidious, devastating evils which are widespread. Aimed
especially at the destruction of Americathe last great bastion of freedomwith
emphasis on our youth, the evils are everywhere-sponsored, -promoted and _
directed by the Communist Conspiracy, fellow travelers and dupes. Never has
evil been presented in such an array of appealing forms. We face a most dan-
gerous revolution in America and it 1S now in progress. According to the FBI,
" It is well-planned, wellfinanced and wellarmed. " As citizens of the greatest
nation of the world, we face a deadly serious crisis. We must do battle with
these evil forces on every front, rig. Any delay will be disastrous. "We must
begin aggression against evil. The time for procrastination and permissivenessi
is long past. "
These atrocious, destructive evils are now revealed in our music, in our art,
in sex perversion and socalled sex education in the schools, in destructive
sensitivity traininga powerful form of Pavlovian brainwashing-as used byp
Communists on captured American soldiers in Korea and by Hitler in Nazi Germany.

These evils areprorninent in the promotion of drugs-LSD, marijuana and
a host of othersin leading magazines and underground publications for youth;
in TV, movie and radio programs, in pornographic literature, in morally destruc-
tive paperback books available to all on newsstands and in Communist oriented
anti-American organizations such as SDS Students for a Democratic Society!.
These devilish forces "led by dirty minds in dirty bodies" seem to be every-
where. They are spreading into every segment of our social, economic and
religious life--all aimed at the destruction of one whole generation of our choice
youth in preparation for the Communist takeover.
The Godless Communists have declared, "We are going to destroy the
moral character of a generation of young Americans, and when we have finished
you will have nothing with which to really defend yourself against us. " _
We may, as adults, close our eyes to them-keep our heads in the sand"-
hoping they will go away, but these evils are here, close by, working insidiously
and destructively day by day, hour by hour, without ceasing. Will parents who
have abandoned their responsibilities for the training and guidance of their
children awaken and act before it is too late?

We may cry, "Peaceful coexistence" but there is no such thing with
the devil and his emissaries. We are at warnot a cold war--but a burning,
searing hot war-the most serious war in the memory of man. We must win
this War now. Will parents bestir themselves before it is too late? Will our
political leaders really awaken to the danger? Will courageous action come
before destruction falls? Will we as citizens rally prayerfully and actively to
courageous leadership? r
The Christian world-the real Christian worldmy own Christian country
includedkn_ows that there are certain eternal ver"itiesprinciples that never
- -- change. Iesus Christ is in -very deed the @,~ the truth and the light. The Ten
Commandments are verily true. They form a permanently binding code of conduct
which man cannot violate without drastic damage to both his material andhis
spiritual welfare. We know that God is not dead-that He is watching useven
though one of the Russian astronauts cracked: "Weve been all over 'Heaven' and
we didn't see any sign of God. "
Yes, Godless forces do threaten our great civil.ization. These Godless forces
are forging a union of state and atheism. I quote in substance from the well-known
constitutional lawyer, Dean Clarence E. Manion: See Manion Forum Broadcast 747,
1-2 6-69!
Can you name the Three Kings who came out of the East bearing gifts for the
Infant Iesus? St. Matthew called them the Three Wise Men of the Year One A. D.-...?¬._-,_,__- -_ »s_._.M-__,______- ._,.._ ..--- _..j-_ I_ ._._4.- ... -__--- --___ ____._ _..__..__..___AAifew months ago a national magazine called the Apollo 8 Astronauts the Three
Men of the Year 1968. But by whatever name they are called, these six famous
men are now forever joined across the centuries by their colorful execution of
the same high purpose. All of them followed their stars from the end of their earth
to praise and glorify God.
The miracle for St. Matthew's men was theunerringiaccuracy of the Star of
Bethlehem that guided them to their Divine Destination. The wonder of the world
for 1968 was the apparent common faith, wisdom, humility and, last but not least,
the moral courage of Colonel Borman, Captain Lovell and Major Anders, who, on
Christmas Day, at the apex of hist0ry s then longest and most perilous voyage,
gave praise and thanks to God, the Creator of Heaven and Earth. and implored His
blessing upon all of the three billion listening people of this world.
._ When all of the facts, figures and findings of the first incredible journey to the
moon are finally evaluated and computerized, this unscheduled, unprecedented
public act of religious faith and worship will be found, like the name of Abou ben
Adhern, to lead all the rest for all the years to Come. "Without the blessings of
the Lord all this would be quite impossible.-.

Those professed atheists, who have confidently relied upon science to
dethrone and eclipse Almighty God, . . .are already doing their ma nful best,
of course, to rub out all reference to the prayer in their recapitulation and
evaluation of Apollo 8. The monitoring Communists in Moscow after much
highlevel consultation, you may be sure! decided wisely to ignore it. But
some others are unable to restrain their indignation and have probably been
back to the U. S. Supreme Court seeking the same kind of prohibition against
the public glorification of God in the Heavens that they have so successfully
maintained here on earth.
The Justices may or may not welcome this new opportunity to re-enforce their
strange new doctrine of neutrality in the weird war that is being fronted against
God and religion. Undoubtedly, the Court's ultimate decision will be influenced
by what happens to the attitude of the _American people in the meantime. For the
real question now is this:- How much longer will the American people-and the
whole Christian worldcontinue to tolerate the sadistic beating that religion
has been taking in this country and elsewhere for the past 25 years?
Frankly recognizing that Godless forces in this country have always been
overwhelmingly outnumbered by the faithful, the first working principle of the
antiGod strategists has been to move insidiously and always carefully to avoid
anything that resembles a direct attack or a frontal confrontation with their
opponents. .

to ignore Him in the secular press; second. to humanize I-liim in the churches;
third, to clobber Him with ridicule on the campus; and, finally, to induce the
courts to enforce official goverrunental neutrality in all litigated controversies
about God and religion.
A-» -.From a practical standpoint,- of course, these decisions establish a union
of state and atheism. The accomplishment of this last objective has taken
prayer out of the public schools and if and when the judicial conclusion is
extended to its logical limits, it will abolish tax exemption for church property,
eliminate chaplains from the armed services, remove our motto "in God we trust"g
from our coins and require major surgery upon our official salute to the|flaq.,_
. , i 1
We must realize that the anti-prayer decisions are simply a beguiling'_ U
climax in the wide ranging--campa ign against God and religion that has been _
sustained here in this country, and in many other nations, for more than three
decades.
It was boldly begun here in 1933 November 16! , when the United States
announced our diplomatic recognition of atheistic Soviet Russia. For 15 years
the United States had refused to recognize the Godless Moscow Communists,
for the reasons published at length in 1920 by Bainbridge Colby, Secretary ofr
-- ~__._.. ,---..¢

State in the Administration of'President Woodrow Wilson. In concluding his
long letter of documentation and explanation Colby had said this: "There
cannot be any common ground upon which the Government of the United States
can stand with a power whose conceptions are so entirely alien to our own,
so utterly repugnant to our moral sense. "
This recognition, together with the abandonment of the inspired Monroe
Doctrine, gave the Red-atheists a big diplomatic sanctuary for the coordination
and direction of their propagandists, spies and saboteurs. These promptly
infiltrated every branch of our Federal Government and later, every segment of
our economyand more recently have established a Godless base 90 miles-from
our shores. Our recognition broke the ice of American resistance to the accept-
ance of the Kremlin gangsters into the International Community as a legitimate
government and so strengthened their iron grip upon the tortured people of
Russia and her satellites.
judging by its demoralized works, atheismhas now quit advancing in this
country simply because it has arrived. Not just rhetorically but actuallyour
country is in an un-Godly mess. City streets are terrorized by crime; our
biggest and most expensive campuses are paralyzed by nihilism and anarchy;
with special licenses from the Supreme Court, theaters are boldly featuring
sex perversion and the newsstands are loaded with hard-core pornography. Big
name investigating commissions have told us all about riots, crime, progress
and poverty, but always in materialistic terms of money, housing, social service
jobs, and.birth control-wit-hout a--word'about the possibiliti'es"for personal marai
self-restraint. .
What about our churches? You have heard the startling story of what Scien-
tific Atheism has done to institutional religion in the United States and elsewhere
just look, listen and read and you will find that socalled! civil rights"
have now eclipsed and outdated all of our personal moral responsibilities.
Whoever dares to mention the Ten Commandments today will immediately be
treated for a sick hangup with the "Puritan Ethic."
But if atheism has taken us over, then who and where are the atheists? It
wa,s'shee'r coincidence, of course, that the day after the 1968 astronauts gave
us their inspiring prayer from the moon, the Gallup Poll reported that 98% of the
American people believe in God. Fantastic? Not at all. How many avowed
atheist-s do you know personally?
Gallup also found that 65% of us believe in Hell and 60% of all Americans
believe in the Devil. Now just a word to this big majority who believe in the
Devil. Who, in your opinion, has ma ster-minded this tragic transformation
of the official, controlling American mind? The Devil? Through Satan's
Communist counterfeit to the Gospel? Then why don't we all say so?

Now to the 98% of us who believe in God: Well, the Astronauts did
something big about it. Now will you please do a little something about it
when you get your next captive audience, however small it is?
Organized Atheism, representing just 2% of our population, has con-
taminatedis still contaminatingthe whole course of American lifeof
Christian life everywhere. In this country today a 2% tail is wagging the big
98% dog. Never in all history have so many been hornswoggled by so few.
For yea rs we have all been obsessed with the iniquities of the Supreme
Court. The way to do something about the Supreme Court is for the 98% of
us to become obsessed with the omnipotent goodness of the'Supreme Being.
What do you suppose would happen in all branches of our Government if the
98% of us would stop complaining and start working and praying?
We Americans have come almost a year with a new national administra-
tion in the United States. The world is watching. Perhaps now is the time to
return to basic eternal concepts, to praise the Lord while we continue to work
hard on the Congress, the President and the Supreme Court.
Other nations might well follow a similar pattern of concern.
As Americans--as members of the world-wide Christian community--we
can defeat the Godless, atheistic forces which threaten us. Yes, with the
help-of=Al-mighty God we-can--we==must=-w-inthe=wa-r against t-heeevi-l forces-=-H
which seem almost to overwhelm us. The eternal verities revealed from God,
through His inspired prophets, have not and will not change.
Let us "put on the whole armour of God that we ye! may be able to stand
against the wiles of the devil." There is no other way of safety.
God 'is'not dead.' He lives, for Hé has appeared-together with His
Beloved Son, Iesus the Christ-in our day. This Iknow, as Iknow that I
live, and bear this humble witness in the name of Iesus Christ, Amen.. J G

Subject: COMMUNIST mess CALLSAFOR ATTACK on
From: W. Cleon Skousen __
Attached hereto is a reprint of an article from an official
Communist Party paper called the World Magazine which is the
Sunday Supplement to the Daily World and the People's World.
This article appeared in the issue of October 18, 1969.
The last paragraph of this article calls for an attack on
the LDS Church. You will note that the Communist strategy
is NOT to attack the Latter-Day Saints as a "church," but
as an institution of "economic and political power" which
"coincides with the interests of monopoly capital."
This article is a typical Communist propaganda sheet filled
with crumbs of truth intermixed with a whole loaf of false
allegations and implications. It even claims the Mormon
leaders are in control of the Los Angeles Times!
Anyone familiar with Communist tactics will recognize that
this is no ordinary article. it is a signal to the Communist
"transmission belt" to go to work. There are people strate-
gically placed in the bulk of the opinion-molding facilities
of the United States who watch for signals like this in the
Communist press. The Communists are: looked upon as the
"vanguard" or tactical leaders in the fight against the
open society of the United States. Communist signals are
therefore accepted by the entire cadre of left~wing collec-
tivists as the logical targets for a united attack. The Com-
muni'sts refer -to this large group of fellow-travelers as
their "transmission belt." . By unitedly attacking an iden-
tical target. they create a syndrome of incidents which have
an overwhelming impacton the thinking of the American
people. This technique has been used successfully for
fifty years.
This type of massive propaganda assault is designed to
distort public thinking to the point where it paralyzes the
effectiveness of the organization under attack. ln fact. the
object. is not merely to discredit the victim but create an
atmosphere of deep resentment or even hatred toward it.
For several months the volume and intensity of Criticism
against the LDS Church has been mounting. The Communist
Party has apparently decided to take over the leadership of
this agitation and give it financial ancl institutional support.
lf the pattern follows past incidents of this kind, we
may expect to see the so-called legitimate press. radioand
TV begin a whole series of "reports" on all types of sub-
jects rei'ated to the LDS Church. it will be explained that
the LDS Church has suddenly become "news." All of these
"reports" will be handled in a way which makes the Church
look rich, priest-ridden, racist, super-authoritarian and con-
servative to the point of being archaically reactionary.
in the past, organizations selected for this kind of assault
have usually attempted to ignore the attack until the damage
has become practically irreparable. A more responsive
approach such as that followed by J. Edgar Hoover when the
FBI is attacked has proven more effective in blunting the
impact of such campaigns. Some damage will be done in any
Even!» but bv furnishing the public with facts and furnishing
a prompt response to the various charges, it is possible for
those who really want to know the truth to get it. To remain
silent and hope the whole thing will"'blow over" or "fadeLDS CHURCH
away" is exactly what the Communists want. This gives
them a public-opinion vacuum in which to work.
If this signal from the Communist Party is successful in
triggering the transmission belt into action, it is likely that
within a very short time the Church will find itself struggling
for living space on almost every front--legally, in proselyting,
in academic tolerance, in athletic competition and in its
attempt to get equal time through the media to defend its
position. The syndrome on all of these fronts has already
manifest itself, and if the Communist Party has its way the
intensity of the attack will be increased a hundred-fold.
in times of crisis such as this. individual members of the
Church can do at least four things:
1- D0 Your homework so you can appreciate what is happening.
Do not become confused by the avalanche of hostile
propaganda. Unique doctrines or policies of the Church
will be seized upon for concentrated publicity. These
will be distorted or made to appear as ridiculous as pos-
sible. ln past crises. a few members of the Church have
gotten on the enemy bandwagon and wagged their fingers
of accusation with as much vigor as the opposition. They
have demanded that the Church "change" and accommodate
itself to the propaganda pressure.
2, Stand steadfastly behind the Prophet and the leaders
of the Church. Do everything within your own sphere of
influence to spread the truth on each of the issues as
they arise. The Communist objective will be to thoroughly
intimidate the members of the Church so they will feel
"guilty" or become afraid to "get involved."
3. Do everything possible to avoid any statement or action
which might inadvertently feed ammunition to the enemy.
Part of the'Communist strategy will be to provoke Church
members to the point where some of them will over-react
or over-state their position so these can be quoted over
the transmission belt as "typical of the Mormon mentality."
Should you happen to be contacted by a reporter. insist
thai all questions be submitted in writing. If you decide
to reply, write your answers and keep a copy. Recently,
members of the Church have been deliberateldmisquoted
by the wire Services. If the reporter claims there isn't time
for a written exchange, then tell him you have "No Com-
ment."
4. Avoid giving aid and comfort to the enemy. It is aston-
ishing to find a few members of the Church actually making
deliberate concessions to the opposition in an attempt
to appear "objective," "honest," and "impartial." Joseph
Smith would have considerable to say about this caliber
of "fair-weather" member. As Thomas Marsh and other
notable defectors of the past century discovered, such
concessions by them did not turn out to be honest or
objective, but a betrayal of the truth and a betrayal of
the Church at a time when both needed uncomprornising
support.
One should keep in mind that during past crises the Lord has
always used these occasions to shake loose the tares from
the wheat.

My dear Mr. Hoover:
A leaflet like the one enclosed was sent to me_by friends who live
in Utah, whare it was published. As you can see, it advertises a book
by W. Glegn Skouseny called "The Naked Gapitalist,9 which in turn is
a review of another book entitled "Tragedy and Hope," by Dr. Carroll
Quigley. No doubt you are familiar with both books. I have bought Mr.
Skousen's book, and have read it. The whole monstrous plan revealed
in this book is shocking and frightening. I am writing to you in the
hope that you will be willing to tell me your frank appraisal of the
whole scheme, perhaps answering these questions: -
l. Is it all really true?
2.Do you believe this scheme is working so well and has advanced
so far that it cannot be stopped?
5. Is this sinister Establishment here portrayed the same "Esteb
lishment" which the dissidents, rioters, Black Panthers, etc.
are so vehemently gighting against?
4. Do you think, as I do, that the people of this country - all
the people - should be alerted and informed as soon as
possible? #1
5. Have you any suggestions about accomplishing effective pub1icity?J
.I wish to take this-opportunity to compliment you on the fine job - **
you are doing in your extremely important position as head of the F. B.
I. I fear there arelmembers of this sinister Establishment who would
like to see you resign, for fear you know too much about them, buthope you can, and will, keep right on for many years yet. é::Z§¥ J
I am not a reporter, or writer. but just a "homebody," wife of a
college professor who has just retired. I read all the news carefully
and worry a great deal about things that are happening in this country.
I am alarmed about this Capitalist scheme combined with socialism! and
am trying to find out what we of the "silent majority" can do about it.
I hope you will send me some word of your opinion or appraisal on this
subject. I plan to send copies of this leaflet to others, and would
like to have some statement from you that you would permit me to quote
and thus give credence to my concern.
A stamped, selfaddressed envelope is enclosed for your convenience 'in replying I hope you will send me some reply, however brief. git ,will be most appreciated. ,_.,.,, 995 #7//Q. Z-4? Zin" I T. K

Now it can betold. Dr. Carroll Quigley of Harvard,
Princeton, and Georgetown Universities let the secret out
in his 1,300 page bodlr, Tragedy and Hope, which was pub-
lished by the Macmillan Company.
Being an insider himself, Dr. Quigley was able to
give the names, dates and places for the whole amazing
plan concocted by those who feel they have the necessary
economic and political power to seize the human and
natural resources of the entire world. Dr. Quigley seems
to feel that this plan is now so far advanced that it is the
hope of the future and that anyone who stands in the way
is only contributing to tragedy. Hence the title of his
book, Tragedy and Hope. -
Because few people would be willing to struggle
through Dr. Quigley's1,300-page tome, W. Cleon Skousen
has provided a review of the amazing facts which Dr.
Quigley presents in his book as the explanation for much
that is happening in the world today.
lf' Mr. Skousen feels the bold and defiant admissions
by Dr. Quigley'prhhide_.the most "potent ammunition
available to shock and .aw'al<e'ir Americans to the reality
of their peril. in spite df'theseȤalla-rniing i:dnditions,_Mr.
