which I have read with absorbed interest. Please, please, read
Everett's letter when you get it, give it your serious thought, and
take action on his suggestions. World Brotherhood, through the ac-
tions of our private citizens, can tremendously help the efforts to
which you are dedicated.
Affectionately yours,

Dear Allen,
In reviewing the recent activities of World Brotherhood, it has
occurred to me that, as one of the founders of this organization, you
might be deeply interested in some of the developing potentials for
reaching world audiences and for creating constructive relationships
among peoples on all continents.
Before describing some of our overseas projects, I should like
to point out that each one of them was launched with the conviction
that there is a crying need for citizen participation in international
and intercultural activities at levels which cannot be successfully
exploited through governmental channels alone. Our recent success
has strengthened this conviction., We are equally aware, however, that
in order to capitalize upon these successes, and to take our work be-
yong the realm of initial experiment, we must seek out sound advice
from those who, like yourself, have had long experience in dealing
with the relations of people of many nations, races, beliefs and cul-
tural backgrounds. We also need advice on potential sources of
material support to enable World Brotherhood to take advantage of the
opportunities opening up.
First, in November 1957, as an effort to stimulate thought on
problems of brotherhood and international human relations, we, with
the cooperation of the Voice of America and the world press, announced
an international essay contest on "niahat World Brotherhood Means to Me".
By February 1958 we had received essays from 108 nations and territories
--including a number from Iron Curtain countries. The great majority
came from "uncommitted" areas such as India, Burma, Ghana, Nigeria, etc.
and the contents revealed an almost universal concern with the basic
verities of brotherhood. The four winners from Ghana, Burma, Mexico
and Denmark, came to New York for two weeks as our guests. After their
return, and after our second prizes - 125 copies of "The Family of Man"
- had been distributed in fifty countries, we received in the fore of

press clippings evidence of overwhelming interest on the part of local media in
the experiences and ideas of our prize winners. We also received a large num-
ber of personal letters requesting- further information about World Brotherhood.
Letters and press stories similar to those attached gave evidence of lively in-
terest, also, in starting World Brotherhood chapters in many areas.
These communications reveal an almost unlimited resevoir of eagerness,
energy and idealism waiting to be directed toward further exploration of the
principles of freedom, justice, human dignity, and other moral bases of free
world thinking. Immediate, continuing ear. loitation is needed. We realize, how-
ever, that plans must be developed and carried out with the utmost care under
trustworthy local leaders and with the supervision and "technical assistance" of
competent central World Brotherhood staff.
As you know, World Brotherhood has guarded against the danger of being uti-
lized for unworthy purposes by accepting no "members" other than those listed on
the stationery as members of the World Assembly. Work is now carried on in local
communities in Europe and South East Asia by Committees of carefully selected
citizens who proceed to introduce World Brotherhood's educational principles and
programs through. cooperation with the local educational institutions, religious
groups, community and business organizations.
The results of the essay contest reinforce the pleas which we have already
received from outstanding leaders of the Middle East and Africa to begin World
Brotherhood programs in their countries. Charles Malik has urged us to organize
a committee in Lebanon. The Shah of Iran has agreed to be Honorary Chairman of
Brotherhood Week and his Minister of State is currently assisting in selecting a
permanent committee. Tragically we do not have funds to supply the professional
assistance which is needed immediately in the Middle East.
Obviously, we cannot move forward at once on all fronts. But $60,000 during
the 1958-59 year could provide strategic educational and program materials,
training of local staff and on-the-spot supervision in a number of selected new
communities in Asia and parts of the Middle East, where we have had evidence of
the greatest need and interest and of the most promising prospect of constructive
results. We shall have to wait until the year 1959-60 to begin to open up the
possibilities in Africa and Latin America. For these areas $60,000 additional
would be needed.
World Brotherhood is now cooperating with the World Confederation of Organi-
zations of the Teaching Profession in preparing for its 1959 international con-
ference to be held in Washington. The World Confederation is comprised of national
associations representing the amazing number of two million teachers of the "free"
and "uncommitted" countries. We are invited to participate in a preparatory re-
gional conferences in Ceylong this spring and in Rome in the summer of 1958. The
subject of the major 1959 conference is "Teaching Mutual Appreciation of East and
'West". We are providing the small sum of $5000 each year for preparatory work and
basic studies for the conference. Much more is needed if we are to take full

advantage of the preparation to follow up this conference with proper teaching
materials, with the means for improved teacher training, audio and visual
teaching aids for teachers who, in turn, reach and influence many millions of
the world's youth. World Brotherhood needs ?x350,000 for the extension and con-
tinuation of its help in this vast undertaking with teachers on three continents.
At the suggestion, originally, of Paul-Henri Spaak, World Brotherhood has
been studying the possibility of convening in 1959 a small private conference of
leaders of thought of Asia, Africa and the West, to consider the problems in-
volved in reorganizing the relationships of the peoples and nations of these areas
on the basis of a better mutual understanding of needs and aspirations. It would
deal not only with philosophical aspects of these problems, but also with economic,
social, political and cultural factors involved. It would seek to draw out common
lines of thought and areas of agreement,
Preliminary meetings have been held with Lady Barbara Ward Jackson, Henry W.
Wriston, Ralph G. Bunche, Ernest A. Gross, Chester Fowles, Paul G. Hoffman, F. S.
C. Northrup, General Romulo, Ambassador U Thant of Burma, Madame Pandit and :Dr.
Radhakrishnan. Mr. Spaak, General Romulo and Dr. Compton, through personal inter-
views and correspondence, have sought the views of a score of additional leaders
in Asia, Africa and the countries of the Western world. The consensus of opinion
among those consulted is that a meeting, such as we propose, of leaders represent-
ing different interests and points of view would be useful. The State Department,
while, of course, unable to give an official blessing, is deeply interested in our
plans, and has encouraged us in our conviction that constructive results can be
expected if the conference is well prepared, the participants carefully selected,
the agenda agreed upon and basic studies prepared by authorities and experts. The
question as to whether some persons in academic and scientific fields from the
satellite countries should be invited has been discussed with Mr. William Lacey
of the State Department.
For preparatory meetings on this conference $30,000 is needed in 1958. To
carry through this project and to follow it up with dissemination of the results
through suitable channels, World Brotherhood will seek during 1959 additional
funds amounting to $100,000.
World Brotherhood is studying the advisability of taking the initiative in
organizing a shared and concerted effort on the part of social scientists in uni-
versity bodies, and in the learned and scientific societies of the world for a
survey and stocktaking, region by region, of the outstanding problems of group
conflicts and human relations. These surveys would lead up to a global review,
during the year 1961-62, of progress or retrogression during the last ten years
and to recommendations on steps to be taken in the future. The common frontiers
shared by the social sciences and other disciplines in seeking progress in human
relations should be explored.

The Honorable
Allen W. Dulles Page !. April 8, 1958
Although we do not attempt to press the analogy too far, the proposal bears
some resemblance to the International Geo-Physical Year. Our plan is to prepare
for a year for the intensive study of human relations problems. Preliminary dis-
cussions with the heads of the Division of Social Sciences of UNESCO and with
other experts lead us to believe that this plan can be broken down into manage-
able sectors and specific projects in which fruitful results could be expected.
Reviews of what has taken place in the last ten years in connection with problems
such as the caste system in India, relations among language groups and between
Muslims and Hindus, the problems of race relations and religious prejudice in the
United States, the relations between the Japanese and the Koreans in Japan and
the conditions of the Eta outcasts in Japan would lead to an evaluation of the
present situation and suggest measures for improving these relations.
If this plan progresses, no doubt foundations and possibly governments will
grant special subventions to universities and social science agencies to partici-
pate in this great task. World Brotherhood, however, needs $25,000 during 1958-59
in order to act as the catalytic agent in bringing together planning committees
and in marshalling the forces necessary to get the plan underway. Possibly, if
funds become available, World Brotherhood can share the sponsorship of this
undertaking with other organizations such as the International Union of Scientific
Psychology, the World Federation of Mental Health, and the International Social
Science Council. It is of considerable importance that the initiative come from
the United States.
World Brotherhood has agreed to contribute $5000 and to share with the Danish
Friendship League, the sponsorship for a World Youth Congress to be held in Copen-
hagen in August 1958. The Conference, which will deal with the problems of human
relations in the atomic age, is a continuation of a series of highly successful
meetings in Copenhagen which, in contrast to the Youth Conferences exploited in
recent years by the Soviets, have attracted sober and intelligent response from
future opinion makers. The Danish Committee is composed of very distinguished
members, with the Prime Minister as Honorary Chairman. One thousand young people
from 15 to 18 years of age will be invited to spend two weeks living with Danish
families, sightseeing and attending diverse events including meetings to be
addressed by leaders such as Lester Pearson, l'iels Bohr and others. With a large
and important audience the influence of this conference will be augmented by wide
press and radio coverage.
Here is an opportunity for wilder usefulness which World Brotherhood should
follow up with similar activities as part of its regular program.
World Brotherhood, we believe, is in a unique position to carry on a broad
program for promoting understanding and cooperation among people varying in race,
religion, national and cultural backgrounds. It is known for its genuine effort
in developing two-way exchanges of people and ideas and in removing roadblocks to

harmony among groups which have experienced tensions, conflicts and prejudices.
For this reason, and because of our wide international representation, we are
not subject to the suspicion of bearing a "Made in America" label or of being
a vehicle for official propaganda. We can, however, convincingly advance those
fundamental concepts which America shares with thinking people throughout the
Free World. It has the added advantages of a concrete program and with committees
already at work and a readily available counterpart audience in 20 cities in
Europe and 30 in Asia.
It is difficult to put a price tag on the tasks outlined above - tasks under-
way or planned. However, we can state, as an estimate, that an additional $170,000
is needed in 1958 to permit us to take the necessary first steps. Thereafter a
minimum of $300,000 additional would be required to keep the work growing at a
healthy rate. These program costs will be over and above World Brotherhood's
"housekeeping" expenses which are currently being met by existing supporters. In
the past two years, a Detroit realtor, Elliot Nichols, has given $60,000; a Texas
businessman, $25,000; James N. Rosenberg has accounted, with an assist at the
distinguished attorney's 80th birthday by John J. McCloy, for about $40,000; The
National Conference of Christians and Jews invests about $10,000 a year in this
basic budget; Thomas E. Dewey, as Chairman of the Roger W. Straus Memorial Foun-
dation, is awarding part of the annual income of the million-dollar fund Gladys
Straus set up, for special projects of World Brotherhood, Inc.; and a number of
smaller gifts have been received.
Can you stir up a source, Allen, that will enable the organization you helped
to shape in 1950, to tackle some of the projects I have listed above? Let me make
it clear that I am seeking support in the name of the American corporation, World
Brotherhood, Inc., incorporated under the laws of the State of New York, and re-
cognized by the U. S. Treasury as having the status under which contributions are
deductible by the donors in computing taxable net income. The members of the
Board of Directors are Americans only and include Dr. Arthur H. Compton, Chairman,
the Honorable Paul G. Hoffman, former Ambassador Ernest A. Gross, broker John L.
Loeb, St. Louis banker Sidney Maestre, Chicago lawyer George B. McKibbin, Chase
Manhattan bankers Thomas H. NcKittrick and Ransom Skeen, James N. Rosenberg, and
Spyros Skouras.
We shall all be most grateful for your advice and suggestions.
With warm regard.

Statements on the Importance of the World Brotherhood Program Page 2.
"I wish for you in giving your full time to World Brotherhood a like success. It
is an even larger and more important enterprise. I admire your courage in facing
it. tt
HENRY M. WRISTON
"The World Brotherhood movement seems to me to have a special dimension of timeli-
ness and significance. We have the opportunity and the obligation to make World
Brotherhood a living _force."
"I have heard the good news of your election to the presidency of World Brotherhood,
and I wanted to write to congratulate you. Your long record of achievement with
the Brotherhood of Christians and Jews speaks for itself, and I know it will be
beneficial for the cause in which we are mutually interested. that you are moving
into a wider scene."
"That World Brotherhood has planted its roots firmly here and in many corners of the
earth, this past summer's Brussels meeting proves beyond question. What other
effort toward human brotherhood and world peace, I dare ask, has brought over 500
delegates together, leading persons from 27 nations, who came at their own expense,
mind you, from lands distant as Australia, Indonesia, Japan? Why did they come?
My answer lies in world Brotherhood's single and simple precept of human brotherhood,
a cardinal principle of all the great religions. We have proposed no political or
economic cure-alls. We have stuck to our one principle.
"Is the effort worth expanding? Have any other efforts to outlaw war ever prevailed?
Ancient Greece's league for peace succeded no better than did the League of Nations.
The United Nations has not brought peace to the world. Is it not then worthwhile --
considering the astounding' growth of World Brotherhood in the short space of five
years -- to support its growth?
"Our great effort now is to broaden and deepen the giant teaching effort of Brother-
hood Week in cities and villages around the glove, and to lay the foundation in all
of these places for an educational program with continuity, and with the leadership
of local citizens.
"'his, at long length, brinis;s me to a concrete proposal. The long visit which Arthur
Compton and you paid to Asia produced magnificent results, as shown by the Asian
representation at Brussels. On the other hand, we have not yet had the means or
man power to reach our important neighbors in Central and South America, nor have we
reached that great continent, Africa, or various other significant areas of the globe.
To perform the tasks which challenge us, we need at the very least 10 million dollars.
This is a scarcely visible fraction of the 4,21 billion dollars owned by American
foundations. With 10 million we can release many more millions in other lands."

would highly appreciate it, were you willing now to develop a sound Brotherhood Com-
mittee in our country to be the unique medium of international brotherly goodwill and
common understanding for a better and happier world..."

anization. I promise that by your cooperation, Nigeria branch of World Brotherhood
will be the largest and strongest, when fully established, We will teach all other
African Nations."
Commercial Printer - Aba-Nigeria, W. Africa
"I strongly suggest that West Africa and probably Nigeria, should be a "testing area"
for World Brotherhood program in 1:frica. A noted editor said "In the end, West Africa
may well be the battleground of cultures." And this is where I believe World Brother-
hood's ideal fits squarely into the picture -- helping peoples to live as cooperating
neighbors."
Headmaster of Teachers' College - E. Nigeria
"I am not sure if we have a branch of the World Brotherhood organization here in Ghana,
hence I will be pleased indeed to help in its establishment in this part of the country.
We hope for the day when all humanity will understand fully and adopt wholly the ex-
cellent purposes of this peace-promoting global association."
College Student - Kumas, Ghana
"I did :my very best to publicize the aims of World Brotherhood organization in the
local newspapers. The 'Tunes of Malta' gave it prominence and many ingnired about the
structure of the organization. I hope that under your direction I will be able to
organize something locally."
Young Schoolteacher - Gozo, Malta
"A careful study of your literature shows what World Brotherhood really means and
could mean in a world divided by selfishness. Being really interested in promoting
among my fellow countrymen understanding, justice and cooperation, I do hope with. your
help to get more acquainted with World Brotherhood to establish it here."
A lawyer - Cairo, Egypt
"For the past 3 years I am Director of the Islamic Congress in Cairo. For several years
I have been closely working for Christian-,Muslim amity on international level and am
a permanent member of the Executive Committee of the organization sponsored by the Ameri-
can Friends of the Middle East. I am interested in the program of World Brotherhood
and would like to cooperate with it closely."

to extend its activities to this remote island. I shall be immensely pleased if you
will let me have full particulars, etc. to enable me to diffuse the movement of World
Brotherhood in my country."
Port Louis, Mauritius Island
"Please write me explaining how I can be of some usefulness to the :World Brotherhood
organization, as I am interested in your aims."

"I am sincerely interested in your objectives which are similar to my wishes. If I
could make something for developing committees in my country, please let me know what
is to be done."
A Lawyer - Tangier, Morocco
"After evaluating the possibilities I can safely say that an organization such as
World Brotherhood would be the answer to he needs of Jamaica and better still, for
the West Indies as a whole. The atmosphere here is well adapted for the introduction
and practice of such an organization, upholding the principles for which we stand. I
would therefore recommend that you endeavor to establish, promote and extend the good
influence of 'World Brotherhood to our shores."
Businessman - Kingston, Jamaica, B.W.I.
"icy interest in. your aims and objectives is truly sincere and I am desirous of keeping
in constant touch with you and participating in your various activities. I hope that
the strength of your organization will continue to grow and that eventually there will
be active branches in every country shouldering the responsibilities of brotherhood
and striving to foster the principles which will create not only citizens of a nation,
but citizens of the Universe."
Anguilla, B.W.I.
"World Brotherhood has no office or representation in the Middle East, in spite of the
interest in this part of the world. The noble precepts of World Brotherhood could
certainly do a great deal for this area. Would you make it possible for me to organize
a regional office in the Middle East, with the moral and financial support of the
American Headquarters."

Dear Dr. Clinchy:
This is just a note to thank you for the generously
worded letter which you wrote to me after the Cleveland meeting
of the National Conference of Christians and Jews. Mrs. Nixon
and I enjoyed the evening very much. It was our pleasure to be
with the members of your organization and your honored guest.
You may be sure that I appreciated having a chance
to visit with you on the plane, and I shall certainly keep the
Switzerland meeting in mind.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my
gratitude to you for the outstanding leadership you have given
to the National Conference of Christians and Jews since it was
founded thirty years ago. You can, I know, look back over
those years with a deep sense of pride and satisfaction.
In my opinion., no one is better qualified to direct
the activities of the World Brotherhood organization than you,
and I am confident that under your guidance as President, the
organization will continue to make a great contribution toward
a better understanding, tolerance and appreciation among the
people of the world. This is what all of us are striving for, and
it is certainly a major step on the road to a peaceful world.
Dr. Everett R. Clinchy, President
