merely keeping the satellite peoples aligned against us. it is
now designed to silienate all peoples which are now friendly to us
or allied with us by demonstrating to them our own crassneat and
defects and the dangers inherent in being susceptible to our influence.
This is being hammered home day after day in the meet effective
manner possible, being driven right into the specialised :TAntsaure

literati, and others. dignificantly enough, political co eriote,

been set up end 16 national conferences have bean held to popularize
the meeting. Present plans 1
expansion, and 60u delegates, ropresentin 3 ctriu, are e*pectet
to attend. The published brochure points out
today are suffering tree the effects of war proper
budgets for health And education are being negleoted in favor of
military expenditures, and that the sour situation has reduced
colonial countries to a state of famine. it Also points mt that
hundred* of thousands of Korean children have been exterminated
during the bombings of sivilinns in that country or have died thoro
from the effects of the ravages of war. The brochure further states
that the Conference will work in a free, obJestive, and scientific
manner to exchange views and examine data in order to desine what
can be done to protect the life and health of Children threatened
by war, to bring up shildren in a spirit of democratic friendship
between all peoples, to protect children from the pernicious
influence of immoral literature, films and radio broadcasto,, and
to insure adequate opportunities for education and development for
all children, especially in colonial lands.
There ean be scant doubt that this Conference will be a snuola-
respectable forum in which the "guilt" of the United 4tatee will be
duly determined from "date which will he furnished on the death of
children in fiorea, and adequate *ensure of the United otatea will be
assessed in the eyes of the eivilised world. Moreover, it Kill
doubtless be found, Judicially, that the Pernici000 influence- of
immoral literature, films, and radio broadonsts has its orloin iu
the United Aates, which thereby contributes to the delinquency of
the children of the world. The findings, minutes, and proceodiazt
of this Cenferense will be reported back to child welfare aesociatione
in ell countries, which will represent a tremendous audience of
people beyond the usual claques of indigenous communists ani com-
munist sympathisers. aceepting as a foregone conclusion thtt the
populaces of satellite countries Already are saturated with coterie"
of this kind, the real danger lies in the anti-united tate- effects
which will *teem* in neutral and allied countries.

1952 in preparation for the American inter-Continental Peace Con-

regional meetings called as preliminaries to the Conference. Infer

utmost at all future Communist Internetional meetings, particularly
those purporting to be of a ?welfare" nature. The blatant expioita

WURA 4a0PAIGN. UW 3DA
As part of the extensive cultural campaign inaugurated by the
Lovist aroup, lists of anaiverearles and commemoration anta of
cultural significenee* birthdeys of persons distinguished In the
fields of the humanities and arts, and other such landmark dates are
being compiled. These include not only lists of such events And per-
sonage. within the 4oviet orbit, but in the free world as ;---011. The
puree*e is to exploit these by presenting each one Avant a communist
backdrop tending to eh ow the fundamental agelessnese and catholicity
of the tenets of the creed. For example* Emi1e401a/e "J'icouse"
papers in the Dreyfess case were, the party slam an expression which
might emanate from the party today; presumably, if Harriet Heather
jtows were alive today, She would be hiehAa esteemed by the party for
Mr literary efforts an behalf of the aleerican negro in dramatically
exposing the cruelties of slavery.
taamples of this activity are found in the plane laid at the
r 1951 meeting of the World P4064i Comeil to slsbrste the
anniversary of Victor Hugo's birth and the 100th anniversary of
the death of Hieolai (iogel. They were made, anording to the published
proclamation of the Council, as a "manifestation of the desire to
Intend international cultural relations." Both anniversaries fell
during this month (March) and were highly publicised by 6oviet facilities
as demonstrations of aoviet sensors tor international cultural progress,
pointedly contrasted with United Alan capitalistic preoccupation
