Communist Goals (1963)

Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35
January 10, 1963

Current Communist Goals
EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, January 10, 1963

Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.
At Mrs. Nordman's request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following "Current Communist Goals," which she identifies as an excerpt from "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen:

[From "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen]

 

CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.

6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.

7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.

8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.

9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.

10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.

11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)

12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.

13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.

14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."

29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."

31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.

34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.

37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems.

43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.

44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.

45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.

Depression of 1920-1921

When President Harding assumed office on March 4, 1921, the United States was in the midst of a post war economic depression. By 1920, unemployment had jumped up to 12 percent and the GNP had dropped by 17 percent. Harding ignored Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover’s recommendation for proactive federal intervention; rather Harding cut tax rates for all groups and reduced the national debt. Recovery began to take place in summer of 1921; by 1922 unemployment receded to 6.4 percent; by 1923 the unemployment rate was 2.4 percent. Economist Benjamin Anderson writes, "In 1920–21 we [the U.S.] took our losses, we re-adjusted our financial structure, we endured our depression, and in August 1921 we started up again.  The rally in business production and employment that started in August 1921 was soundly based on a drastic cleaning up of credit weakness, a drastic reduction in the costs of production, and on the free play of private enterprise. It was not based on governmental policy designed to make business good.

Above is a link about how Harding’s no government intervention compared to FDR’s big government intervention during the Great Depression, and why Harding was

Americas Greatest Depression Fighter.

 

Calvin Coolidge

Calvin Coolidge took over the Presidency when Harding died of a heart attack, and here is a little information about his term and why his policies created the biggest growth in American History.

Coolidge was easily elected President of the United States in his own right in the election of 1924. Coolidge made use of the new medium of radio and made radio history several times while president: his inauguration was the first presidential inauguration broadcast on radio; on February 12, 1924, he became the first U.S. president to deliver a political speech on radio; and on February 22, he became the first president to deliver such a speech from the White House.
During Coolidge's presidency, the United States experienced the wildly successful period of economic growth known as the "Roaring Twenties." He was the last President of the United States who did not attempt to intervene in free markets, letting business cycles run their course—summed up in the quote "the business of America is business." He vetoed the proposed McNary-Haugen Farm Relief Bill, designed to allow the federal government to purchase agricultural surpluses. It should be noted that President Coolidge not only lowered taxes but also reduced the national debt.

Although some later commentators have criticized Coolidge as a doctrinaire laissez-faire ideologue, historian Robert Sobel offers some context based on Coolidge's sense of federalism: "As Governor of Massachusetts, Coolidge supported wages and hours legislation, opposed child labor, imposed economic controls during World War I, favored safety measures in factories, and even worker representation on corporate boards. Did he support these measures while president? No, because in the 1920s, such matters were considered the responsibilities of state and local governments."

Three Myths of the Great Depression

Burton Folsom, Jr.

September, 2004
NOTES from FEE
Inaugurated by Leonard E. Read in 1952

The Great Depression of the 1930s was in many ways
the defining economic event of the 20th century.
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt used the
atmosphere of crisis created by the Depression to
implement a series of government programs known as
the New Deal, which caused radical centralization of
federal power. For decades historians romanticized the
New Deal, and only recently have scholars begun to peel
away the layers of mythology surrounding that era.
Three of those myths seem the most pervasive and
damaging.

Myth Number One: The New Deal helped get us
out of the Great Depression.

In fact, the New Deal was an inevitable economic
failure. Roosevelt’s formula of substituting government
programs for a normal business recovery had no
chance of relieving the high unemployment. FDR relied
on extracting tax dollars from individuals and corporations
to fund government programs, such as the Works
Progress Administration (WPA), which hired workers to
pick up trash, cut down trees, and build roads, bridges,
and schools. The jobs Roosevelt thought he was
creating were a mirage. They merely transferred jobs
from the productive private sector to the inefficient
public one.

Henry Hazlitt, a free-market writer and journalist,
pointed out in his 1946 classic, Economics in One
Lesson: “For every public job created by [a] bridge
project a private job has been destroyed somewhere
else. We can see the men employed on the bridge. We
can watch them at work. . . . But there are other things
that we do not see, because, alas, they have never been
permitted to come into existence. They are the jobs
destroyed by the $10 million taken from the taxpayers.”
With the dramatic rise in government spending on
public works, farm subsidies, and various relief
programs, the top income tax rate skyrocketed from 24
percent in 1929 to 79 percent in 1935. In 1941 FDR
even proposed raising the top rate to 99.5 percent on all
income over $100,000 (but ended up settling for 90
percent). Not surprisingly, entrepreneurs were stifled
and refused to invest and have their capital confiscated.
Unemployment under the New Deal never dropped
below 14 percent and averaged over 17 percent.
As the Great Depression persisted, even Treasury
Secretary Henry Morgenthau admitted that the New
Deal had been a failure. On May 6, 1939, he confessed,
“We are spending more than we have ever spent before
and it does not work. . . . We have never made good on
our promises. . . . I say after eight years of this
Administration we have just as much unemployment as
when we started. . . . And an enormous debt to boot!”

Myth Number Two: The New Deal was a
political success as well as an economic success.

To the contrary, the New Deal was a grand economic
failure and only a qualified political success. This
may surprise some because it seems counterintuitive in
two ways. First, since FDR was elected to four terms
and always with Democratic congresses, his economic
programs seem to have had wide support. Second, if
the New Deal was as damaging to the economy as I
suggest, why did he achieve such clear political success
over a long period of time?

In 1936, Roosevelt was up for re-election and he
carried all but two states against his Republican
challenger, Alf Landon. This amazing result is often
emphasized by historians. What is less well known is
the fact that in early 1936 Roosevelt was behind in the
Gallup polls and even trailed in his own private polls.
In February 1936, Emil Hurja, Roosevelt’s personal
pollster, concluded that if nominated Landon could beat
Roosevelt were the election held that month. High
unemployment was plaguing the president and the
Supreme Court had recently struck down the
Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA) and the National
Recovery Administration (NRA), two linchpins of the
New Deal. Also, the Republicans had recently
captured two congressional seats in open elections in
Rhode Island and Michigan. In addition, the New York
state legislature—where Roosevelt began his political
career—had just swung over to the Republicans. This
should not be surprising—the New Deal had not ended
the Great Depression and voters were responding
accordingly.

However in 1936 the president developed a strategy
that swamped the Republicans. It can be described in
three words: subsidies for votes. He would spend
record amounts of tax dollars on programs that would
give people a vested interest in voting for his re-election.
Gary Dean Best, in his excellent book Pride, Prejudice,
and Politics, outlines Roosevelt’s tactic of blitzing key
election districts with federal funds. For example, he
met with Henry Wallace, the agriculture secretary, and
gave the following order, “Henry, through July, August,
September, October and up to the 5th of November I
want cotton to sell at 12 cents [a pound]. I do not care
how you do it. That is your problem. It can’t go below
12 cents.”

When the WPA had spent all its money, and was faced
with throwing people out of work on October 1,
Roosevelt ordered Henry Morgenthau not to let anyone
be laid off. As Morgenthau recalled Roosevelt’s words,
“he doesn’t give a God damn where they get the
money.” With a Gallup poll showing relief workers
going 5-1 for Roosevelt over Landon, the president had
strong incentives to transfer as much wealth as possible
from the private to the public sector.

Landon and fellow Republicans all over the country
were perplexed over how to combat the “subsidies for
votes” strategy. If they attacked Roosevelt’s programs,
he would ask what they would do differently. If they
said, “End the programs,” then the many Americans
who were becoming addicted to the programs would
protest and call the Republicans heartless, uncaring,
and selfish. If Landon said he would continue the
programs in different ways, then why should they
switch over to his side? With Roosevelt they had
government jobs. Why take chances with the
Republicans? The subsidy-for-votes strategy helps
explain the paradox of how the New Deal could be such
an economic calamity for the nation and such a political
triumph for Roosevelt.

Myth Number Three: Roosevelt was widely
respected.

This is partly true. Roosevelt received thousands of
fan letters each week and his picture was on the
wall in perhaps millions of American homes. He had
widespread adulation, especially from those who
received his federal subsidies. But among reporters,
policymakers, fellow politicians, and even his own
friends Roosevelt was widely disrespected. His
popularity was often superficial, and seemed to decline
as people close to him came to know him better.
One thing that bothered his friends was FDR’s ego.
Hugh Johnson, the head of the NRA, said of his boss,
“He seeks complete subservience. He thrives on
adulation and submission.” Hiram Johnson, the
Republican Senator who bolted his party in 1932 and
1936 and publicly supported Roosevelt, said of the
president, “He is drunk with power.” Frances Perkins,
the secretary of labor, listened to her boss almost every
week and concluded, “Roosevelt never understood the
point of view of the business community.”

Many of Roosevelt’s friends seemed to fear reprisals if
they told anyone what they really thought of him, and
confided their true feelings in private diaries. Harold
Ickes, the secretary of the interior, confided in his diary,
“It is distressing to hear from so many quarters expressions
that the President’s word cannot be relied upon.

The number of people in the country who believe this
seems to be growing. Unfortunately, based on my own
experience, I regret to say that there are occasions when
he does seem to regard his word lightly. I regret to say
this about my Chief, the President of the United States,
but unfortunately it is true.”

Roosevelt picked Raymond Moley, a Columbia
professor, to be a Brain Truster and to write speeches,
which Moley did during the president’s first term. After
one lengthy discussion with FDR, Moley wrote in his
diary how Roosevelt had “launched into a denunciation
of bankers and businessmen and said that every time
they made an attack on him, . . . he gained votes and
that the result of carrying on this sort of warfare was to
bring the people to his support. . . . I was impressed as
never before by the utter lack of logic of the man, the
scantiness of his precise knowledge of things that he
was talking about, by the gross inaccuracies in his
statement, by the almost pathological lack of sequence
in his discussion. . . . In other words, the political
habits of his mind were working full steam with the
added influence of a swollen ego. My deliberate
impression is that he is dangerous in the extreme. . . .”
Finally, Henry Morgenthau, perhaps FDR’s best
friend, kept a diary in which he recorded his regular
visits and conversations with the president. In many
entries, Morgenthau expresses concern with the
president’s ego and his desire to centralize power in his
own hands. After one such visit, Morgenthau wrote,
“He pictures himself as being called in as a consultant
of the various nations of the world. He said, ‘Maybe I
can prescribe for their ailments. . . . For example, I
would tell England that she had too many people and
she should move out ten million of her population. I
would take a look at each country and, of course, when
we made them disarm we would have to find new work
for the munition workers in each country and that is
where this international cartel would come in and your
job would be to handle the finances.’”

Only when we begin to strip away these three myths
will we be able to see the New Deal and the rise of the
imperial presidency as a dark period in American
history. In fact during the 1930s, the American
economy would have been far better off if there had not
been the New Deal.
