It is interesting to watch Dr. Quigley discuss a number of these Establishment crises. As
he writes about those few occasions when the American people were beginning to awaken.

Harry Hopkins
Harry Hopkins Gives Atomic Secrets and Uranium To Russia
Right after World War II, Major Racey Jordan, expeditor of Russian lend-lease, disclosed
that his one-time boss, Harry Hopkins, had secretly secured the latest know-how on the atomic
bomb as of 1943 and shipped it to Russia in a lend-lease plane which Jor
dan found to be loaded
with black suitcases containing espionage files on the United States.
When Jordan grounded this plane and flew to Washington to make an issue of this
betrayal of U.S. interests he found himself threatened with severe disciplinary action. He was
later ordered by Harry Hopkins to approve and ship to Russia (without making a r
ecord of it)
several shipments of refined uranium compounds which experts later estimated to have been

a Congressional Committee is summarized in his book,

would be terminated.
General Wedemeyer wrote a comprehensive report to President Truman showing how
this fantastic demand would ultimately lead to a Communist conquest of 600,000,000 Chinese.
The State Department demanded that General Wedemeyer be "muzzled." Chiang Kai-shek
refused to accept the Communists in his government, and General Marshall fulfilled his threat.
He wrote: "As Chief of Staff I armed 39 anti-Communist divisions (in China), now with a stroke
of the pen I disarm them." U.S. aid to China was reduced to a dribb
le. Both economic and
military collapse became inevitable.
We have already discussed the Establishment's manipulation of the State Department
through its Institute of Pacific Relations, which set the stage for the betrayal of China to a
Communist conquest.
By 1949 the whole mainland of China was in Communist hands and a bloodbath of
genocidal terrorism was being poured out upon the people. What Americans had fought World
War II to prevent the Japanese from doing to China, the State Department had encouraged
and Chao to go ahead and accomplish.
The next task was to keep the American people from discovering how China had been
betrayed to the Reds. It was necessary to cover the tracks of the IPR and its agents who were
working inside the U.S. government. Dean Acheson, Secretary of State, wrote a n

Alger Hiss
State Department Official, Alger Hiss, Exposed as Soviet Spy
Even before World War II, President Roosevelt had been warned that Alger Hiss was a
top spy of the Soviet Union. The information came from no less an authority than the chief
courier of the Soviet Union in Washington, D.C., who was getting ready to defect
. His name was
Whittaker Chambers.
Unfortunately, President Roosevelt refused to believe the story or even check on it, so
Whittaker Chambers went underground and eventually became the senior editor of Time
magazine. Not until 1948 did the full exposure take place before the House Committe

Hiss had meanwhile risen to become a top official of the State Department, a closely
trusted advisor to the President, and had been made the key-administrator in setting up the United
Nations. As of 1948 he was President of the Carnegie Endowment for Inte
rnational Peace, having
been nominated to that position by the chairman of the board, John Foster Dulles. Americans
were tremendously disturbed that such a man would be accused of serving as a Soviet Agent.
Throughout the hearings and trials which followed, Alger Hiss flatly denied the charges
made against him by his former associate, Whittaker Chambers. Eventually, however, the famous
"pumpkin papers" were turned over to the FBI and it was proven that the f

given an extremely cool treatment by the liberal press. Here are the twelve conclusions of the
Jenner Report which carried with them tragic implications in view of what has happened during
all the years since:
"1. The Soviet international organization has carried on a successful and important
penetration of the United States Government and this penetration has not been fully exposed.
"2. This penetration has extended from the lower ranks to top level policy and operating
positions in our Government.
[page 79]
"3. The agents of this penetration have operated in accordance with a distinct design
fashioned by their Soviet superiors.
"4. Members of this conspiracy helped to get each other into Government, helped each
other to rise in Government and protected each other from exposure.
"5. The general pattern of this penetration was first into agencies concerned with
economic recovery, then to war-making agencies, then to agencies concerned with foreign policy
and postwar planning, but always moving to the focal point of national concer
"6. In general, the Communists who infiltrated our Government worked behind the scenes
n.
-- guiding research and preparing memoranda on which basic American policies were set, writing
speeches for Cabinet officers, influencing congressional investigations,
drafting laws,
manipulating administrative reorganizations -- always serving the interest of their Soviet
superiors.
"7. Thousands of diplomatic, political, military, scientific, and economic secrets of the
United States have been stolen by Soviet agents in our Government and other persons closely
connected with the Communists.
"8. Despite the fact that the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other security agencies
had reported extensive information about this Communist penetration, little was done by the
executive branch to interrupt the Soviet operatives in their ascent in Go
vernment until
congressional committees brought forth to public light the facts of the conspiracy.
"9. Powerful groups and individuals within the executive branch were at work obstructing
and weakening the effort to eliminate Soviet agents from positions in Government.
"10. Members of this conspiracy repeatedly swore to oaths denying Communist Party
membership when seeking appointments, transfers, and promotions and these falsifications have,
in virtually every case, gone unpunished.
"11. The control that the American Communications Association, a Communist-directed
union, maintains over communication lines vital to the national defense poses a threat to the
security of this country.
"12. Policies and programs laid down by members of this Soviet conspiracy are still in
effect within our Government and constitute a continuing hazard to our national security."

said: "We were accused of seeing Communists under

every bed, but that isn't true.
Dr. Bella Dodd, former member of the National Committee of the Communist Party, told
this reviewer that the Party estimated it had trained over 3,000,000 persons in Communist tactics
and strategy by 1950, and that most of these had maintained a working re
lationship with the
Party, or followed the Party line, even though many of them were no longer "dues-paying
members."

Chapter Ten
The McCarthy Hearings
For several years the U.S. Congress tried to use its powers under the Constitution to
compel the Executive Branch of the Government to clean out the subversives. Under the
principle of checks-and-balances, the Congress can have its committees conduct inve
stigations to
determine whether or not there is corruption, waste of expenditures or subversion in the
executive branch. Three avenues are open to the House and the Senate:
1. Upon learning of an allegation of subversion, refer it to the President or to the
Department involved and ask for an investigation and a report.
2. If this doesn't get results, then subpoena those who are supposed to know about the
problem and release the facts to the public so there will be sufficient pressure and embarrassment
to bring about a prompt improvement.
