"I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of society but the
people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to
exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to
take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education."

Communists in government during World War II formulated major
policies which the Truman administration followed; but when the
known communists were gone, the policies continued, under
Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson. The unseen they who took control of
government during World War II still control it. Their tentacles of
power are wrapped around levers of political control in Washington;
reach into schools, big unions, colleges, churches, civic organizations;
dominate communications; have a grip on the prestige and money of
big corporations.
For a generation, they have kept voters from effecting any changes at
the polls. Voters are limited to the role of choosing between parties to

administer policies which they formulate. They are determined to
convert this Republic into a socialist province of a one-world socialist
system.
This book tells who they are and how they work. If enough Americans
had this information, our Republic would be saved. Please do your
utmost to spread the word: order extra copies of this book and help give
it wide distribution. See inside of back cover for quantity prices.

FOREWORD

On May 30, 1961, President Kennedy departed for Europe and a
summit meeting with Khrushchev[A]. Every day the Presidential tour
was given banner headlines; and the meeting with Khrushchev was
reported as an event of earth-shaking consequence.
It was an important event. But a meeting which was probably far more
important, and which had commanded no front-page headlines at all,
ended quietly on May 29, the day before President and Mrs. Kennedy
set out on their grand tour.
On May 12, 1961, Dr. Philip E. Mosely, Director of Studies of the
Council on Foreign Relations, announced that,
"Prominent Soviet and American citizens will hold a week-long
unofficial conference on Soviet-American relations in the Soviet Union,
beginning May 22."
Dr. Mosely, a co-chairman of the American group, said that the State
Department had approved the meeting but that the Americans involved
would go as "private citizens" and would express their own views.
The New York Times' news story on Dr. Mosely's announcement (May
13, 1961) read:
"The importance attached by the Soviet Union to the meeting appears
to be suggested by the fact that the Soviet group will include three
members of the communist party's Central Committee ... and one
candidate member of that body....
"The meeting, to be held in the town of Nizhnyaya Oreanda, in the
Crimea, will follow the pattern of a similar unofficial meeting, in which
many of the same persons participated, at Dartmouth College last fall.
The meetings will take place in private and there are no plans to issue
an agreed statement on the subjects discussed....
"The topics to be discussed include
