THE TECHNIQUES OF SOVIET PROPAGANDA 17 The movement undoubtedly mobilizes many bonest lovers of peace, genuinely obsessed with the horrors of modern war. However, these noble motives too often serve the worst ends. These wondrous spri of love and life are too often watering the slopes of tyranny and death. Allis not humanism and altruism in the pacifist movements. Many are directly or indirectly manipulated by the Communist apparatus, which has an especially easy task with the decent, but inexperienced, emotional and naive trumpeters of Jericho. . In the United States, the powerful American Friends Service Com- mittee (AFSC) shelters half of the pacifist ups. Miss Marion Miller, a former FBI underground agent in ie mmunist Party, testified that much of the propaganda literature of the Peace Com- mittee was written within, and distributed by this AFSC, well known as a transmission belt for the Communist spparatus. Even the well-known and reputedly honest National Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy (SANE) had to purge itself of numbers of infiltrated Communists, under pressure of a Senate investigation. Notwith- standing this action, AFSC personnel are still working actively in -Dr. Gene Weltfish, leader of the Committee for the Protection of Children from Nuclear Fallout, has been identified as the woman who, during the Korean conflict, produced false accusations supporting the slanderous Communist charges of American bacteriological warfare* In the global theater, it is widely known that the tremendous inter- national network of the Fighters for Peace, born in 1947 from the notorious Stockholm a) peat. is so closely controlled that its leaders are moved like pawns by the chess players of the Kremlin. There is considerable evidence of close ties between many of the pacifist movements and the Soviet objectives: First. Many of those who manipulate the peace movements are also influential in other crypto-Communist, and even overtly Communist organizations. Demonstrators for peace use the slo : “Fair play for Cuba,” “Face the reality of mamland China,” “Don’t trust West Germany,” etc.; obviously slogans by which the Soviets profit, but not peace. Second. The tempo of peace agitations coincides remarkably with the winds blowing from Moscow, as witness the tremendous intensi- fication immediately following Khruschev’s January 1961, 9] in which he lauded the international movement for peace as the most important force acting in ‘‘the right sense.” hird. Many of the pacifist campaigns are vociferously seclaimed by the Communist press. The British Communist Daily Worker lauded the action taken against the Polaris submarines, and the Com- munist review World Afairs applauded the Geneva demonstration of “‘Women Strike for Peace.” Fourth. When the Soviets cynically violated their ents by resumption of nuclear testing, the pacifist groups sent a few telegrams which indiscriminately denounced the bomb and the tests; but when as an unavoidable consequence of the Soviet violation, the United States also resumed ita tests, there were marches Guliminating in icketing and clamorous demonstrations before the American Em- assies. Do the pacifists not know the locations of Soviet embassies? “See Weltfish testimony before U.8.
