Dear Phil:
I appreciate your letter of January 16, 1958,
enclosing a copy of a letter written by Professor
Mitrany to Chris Herter. I expect to be in touch
with Chris Herter about this and shall see if there
is anything I can appropriately do.
It is much too long since I have seen you and
I hope you will let me know in case you are in
Washington.
Sincerely,
Allen W. Dulles
Director

MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
SUBJECT: Letter frau Professor Philip Jessup Concerning
Institute of Pacific Relations
1. This memorandum is submitted in response to your request for my
suggestions as to comments which you might make to Mr. Herter with regard
to Professor Jessup's letter to you of 16 January. (I note that in your
reply to Professor Jessup dated 30 January you stated that you expected
to be in touch with Mt. Herter about this matter and that you would "see
if there is anything I (you) can appropriately do").
2. I judge from the above quoted phraseology of your reply to Professor
Jessup, that you are in some doubt as to the wisdom and desirability of
involving this Agency officially in the long-standing controversy about
the IPRI and in any case it is my own very definite feeling that the Agency
as such should not become officially involved. In fact, it would have been
far more appropriate for Professor Jessup to address his communication to
the State Department in the first instance rather than to you as the Director
of CIA, and this point seems so clear that I can only conclude that Professor
Jessup wrote to you because of his personal acquaintanceship with you and
his probable belief that his plea would be more sympathetically received
by you than by the State Department.
3. Under the circumstances and especially since I do not believe this
Agency has sufficient knowledge of the policies and activities of all the
members and agents of the IPR to warrant our providing an official certification
of good character and bona fides, I recommend that you simply pass on the
exchange of correspondence to Mr. Herter stating to him at the time that
this appears to be a matter of more direct interest to State than to CIA.
Any statement which you might wish to add should probably be made on a
personal basis and whereas you might see fit to ccmment favorably upon
the ostensible purposes and some of the works of IFR, you would not deem
it desirable to extend any kind of blanket endorsement.

Dear Allen:
421 West 117th Street
January 16, 1958
PERSONAL
You might like to see a copy of a letter which has come to
me privately, written by Professor David Mitrany of Oxford to Chris
Herter. Mitrany is speaking about the international I.P.R. I was
grilled about my connection with the I.P.R. both by two Senate
Committees and by various security investigators, particularly
during the McCarthy period when he attacked me. My statements are
all on record in the Committee Hearings. I still feel as I felt
then that this organization is of tremendous value internationally
and I agree with -what Mitrany says about the link which it estab-
lishes between the Vest and the Asian countries. They are just
about tO have another international conference at Lahore. Undoubt-
edly the influences which were active in the recent Cairo Confer-
ence will be active at the Lahore meeting. I understand they have
a pretty good group going as a U.S. delegation but it does not have
the same standing as it use to have because of the cloud here. You
may know that the matter to which Mitrany refers which was commented
on in a New York Times editorial is the fact that the Treasury some
time ago revoked the tax exemption of both the American Council and
the International Organization and has refused to even make a ruling
or take any action. A lot of fine people in this country are still
afraid to resume their contacts with the organization.
I think it is a matter which deserves some thought and it
seemed to me that I might just call it to your attention.
PCJ/ma
Enc.
Sincerely- yo7s,
Philip C. Jessup
P.S. I enclose also a partial list of delegates to the
Lahore Conference and of the papers being submitted
to the Conference.
