TKESIDENT OENEKAO:MESSA4,

DEAR DAUGHTERS:

The past year has been one of great accomplishment for theSociety. As of November 4, 1983 3,002 supplemental pa-

pers have been verified. This is a tribute to the tremendous effortexerted by the members of the Genealogical Division and thededicated members who volunteered their services. This sort ofinterest and enthusiasm is heartening to your President Generaland is an inspiration to the membership.

The transition from one administration to another has gonesmoothly and well, and we are deeply grateful to the employees

who contributed so much to make it possible.We have made eleven official visits to State Conferences and Meetings, including the State Societies of

France and Great Britain, as well as numerous other visits.Plans are progressing for the organization of a Chapter in Ottawa where your President General visited in

November. This will be the second Chapter in Canada and will make possible another "State" Society.In this issue of the DAR Magazine is an article on the important restoration of Constitution Hall, including

the D Street ramp which must be completely rebuilt, and the Administration Building. The pictures whichaccompany the article present in a graphic and shocking manner the conditions as they exist today. We hopethis will be meaningful to you and that the response of our members will make it possible to bring thesebuildings back to their original beauty and elegance.

The delegates to Continental Congress will be asked to consider the restoration as the President General'sProject for this administration. To my knowledge, at least two Chapters have already made the contribution of$4.00 per member to the Project.

Those of us who made the trip to Paris are deeply gratified at the contributions we were able to make tofoster good Franco-American relations. The slides and video tapes of the Treaty of Paris commemoration arenow available to Chapters and State Societies and we feel the membership will be thrilled to share the eventsof last summer.

The Treaty of Paris was ratified in the United States on January 14, 1784, at the State House inAnnapolis, Maryland. Our celebration of this great milestone in the history of our Republic will continuethrough May of this year.

Let us remember that the past is our heritage, the present is our responsibility but the future is ourchallenge.

With gratitude,

At/1 7k Aj.".MRS. WALTER HUGHEY KING,President General, NSDAR.

During the 90th Continental Congress, April 1981, you, the

members of the National Society Daughters of the American

Revolution, voted overwhelmingly in favor of the following

Resolutions:

Whereas, the complex of NSDAR Buildings which serve as the

Headquarters constitutes a precious vestige of the history of

the National Society, andWhereas, time, the elements and pollution have wrought critical

deterioration in the form of stone degeneration and settling of

the Buildings and the Founders Monument, especially Memo-

rial Continental Hall, andWhereas, continuation of the process of deterioration will result

in loss of structural integrity of the Buildings; therefore be it

Resolved, That the proposed President General's Project of this

administration shall be the immediate beginning of restoration

and preservation of the Historic Buildings of the National

Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

On the basis of your firm approval, work was begun on the

renovation and repair of the three buildings which comprise

National Headquarters. The exterior of Memorial Continental Hall,

the Administration Building and Constitution Hall was cleaned.

Both the North and South Terraces of Memorial Continental Hall

were rebuilt in toto and waterproofed. The marble steps of this

building plus the 18th Street steps of Constitution Hall were either

repaired or replaced.

The Independence Jubilee Administration fully realizes the

necessity for the completion of this much-needed restoration of our

National Headquarters complex. The beauty and elegance of all of

our buildings have become an integral part of the landscape of the

Nation's capital city—Washington, DC.

The Independence Jubilee Project, subject to your (the members)

approval, will focus on Constitution Hall. Designed by the distin-

guished American architect, John Russell Pope, this venerable Hall

opened officially on April 19, 1929 as the meeting place for the

39th Continental Congress. Much has happened to Constitution

Hall in the ensuing 55 years. Although it remains one of the

world's great and active halls, the ravages of time are much too

evident. An extensive undertaking remains for each DAR member

to return this magnificent Hall to its original condition.

The beauty of Constitution Hall is marred on the C and D Street

sides primarily because of its popularity. It continues to be home to

the famed National Geographic Lecture Series plus a host of varied

concerts and other events. The ramp on the D Street side is used

constantly by the large trucks and vans necessary to convey today's

sound and light equipment to the Hall's stage. As these vehicles

have increased in size and weight, the drive has suffered damage.

This ramp is also used constantly by private cars, limousines andtaxis.

It is often said that antiquity suffers from progress. The originalconcept for the D Street ramp was to provide a "Carriage Drive"whereby audiences to the Hall's various activities might bedelivered. The copper-roofed portico, or overhang, was to provideshelter in inclement weather. The portico was beautifully illumi-nated and trimmed with beveled and shaped glass panes. Whenclean, they shone much like the diamonds on a grand bracelet.As a consequence of modern-day "progress," one may see the

extensive damage wrought to both sides of the "Carriage Drive."Large, heavy curbstone marble blocks have been broken or pushedout of line by the ten-wheelers required to transport materialsneeded for performances. Existing concrete, both on the walk andon the roadway, has been severely damaged. The "diamonds" onthe portico are no more—long since having been removed by thetops of moving vans. One may still see a few of these glitteringsurvivors on the C Street portico, however.The "Carriage Drive" is so badly damaged that it is beyond

repair--it must be rebuilt! The dimensions of the newer largervehicles must be considered as well as their turning requirementsand weight. Adequate clearances must be established to permit offand on loading of large vans without further damage to a new"Carriage Drive." In realigning the Drive to provide geometricclearances, adequate structural support is of prime concern. Theweight of moving vehicles is as important a consideration as istheir size. All of this restoration must be carried out in keepingwith the general construction and appearance of Constitution Hall.The C Street entrance is a slightly less complex problem. Here,

except for repairs to the portico metal and glass trim, the thrust ofthe renovation is to be the limestone facade. Time, the rigors ofheavy street traffic and a deteriorating environment have combinedto result in the "spalling" of the limestone. This condition,sometimes known as exfoliation, appears as a cancroid surface tothe limestone facade, readily visible from the C Street sidewalk.Previous repairs using concrete patches have only served toemphasize the condition and do not provide a permanent reconstruc-tion. Additionally, the landings must be levelled, waterproofed andthe steps pointed (i.e., reset and sealed) with mortar.The conditions described above, if allowed to go uncorrected,

will deteriorate at an ever-increasing rate, going from eyesore tostructural damage to physical liability. Sadly, it should be noted,the "Carriage Drive" is dangerously close to the latter condition.Once these repairs and renovation are completed, Constitution

Hall, which represents the National Society to this city, the nationand the world, will once again resume the elegance intended forthis stately monument which is a part of the Historic District ofWashington City.

The United Nations Versus the United StatesBY PHYLLIS SCHLAFLY

A 11 of a sudden, a U. S. official at theUnited Nations blurted out what Ameri-

cans have been thinking for years. CharlesM. Lichenstein said, "If the Soviet delegateor any other member wish to propose thatthe UN get out of the U. S., I wish toassure you that my Government will put noimpediment in your way."

Continuing, Mr. Lichenstein said, "If inthe judicious determination of the membersof the United Nations, they feel they werenot welcome and treated with the hostlyconsideration that is their due, the UnitedStates strongly encourages member states toseriously consider removing themselves andthis organization from the soil of the UnitedStates. We will put no impediment in yourway, and we will be dockside bidding you afarewell as you set off into the sunset."

Mr. Lichenstein's remarks took every-body by surprise. But no subsequent "clarifi-cation" could drown out the "amens"echoing all over the country. To mostAmericans, getting the UN out of the U. S.sounded like an even better idea than gettingthe U. S. out of the UN.

His off-the-cuff remarks were touched offby the Soviet delegate's complaining aboutthe way that New York and New Jersey haddenied Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromy-ko the right to land his plane at commercialairports after the U.S.S.R. shot down KoreanAir Lines flight #007 with 269 passengersaboard including Congressman Larry Mc-Donald. Gromyko's landing in New Yorkwas really a non-issue, since the U. S.Government stood ready to give him fulllanding privileges and diplomatic courtesiesa few miles away at convenient, com-modious McGuire Air Force base in NewJersey:The Soviets were annoyed at this minor

inconvenience, and Gromyko used it as anexcuse to announce that he would not attendthe fall 1983 UN session. The real reasonhe did not show up was because he did notwant to face the tongue-lashing that was instore for him from Ambassador Jeane Kirk-patrick. If Gromyko had lied at the UNabout flight #007, she might have remindedthe world's television audience that one ofGromyko's more famous lies was the dayhe sat in the Oval Office with PresidentJohn F. Kennedy during the Cuban Missile

Crisis in 1962 and poker-facedly denied thatany Russian missiles were in Cuba. Presi-dent Kennedy at that very time had thepictures of the Soviet missiles in Cuba inhis desk drawer.

Fallen Hopes and Rising Costs

T he United Nations was born of highhopes after World War H. As a student

at Harvard University writing a thesis on theUN, only lack of funds kept me fromtraveling to San Francisco to sit as a starry-eyed observer at the first UN conferenceheld there in April 1945. (I didn't thenknow that its presiding officer, Alger Hiss,would be convicted a few years later forperjury in falsely denying that he gavesecret State Department documents to Sovietagents.)

Disillusionment set in rapidly. By thetime of the Korean War, it should havebeen obvious to anyone who had an ounceof realism that there was no hope for anorganization based on the fraud of callingthe Soviet Union a "peace-loving nation."But the UN had become a dogma of faithfor so many Americans, a sort of pseudo-religion, a cult, and the shackles of thatallegiance were difficult to break.Today, the UN usually rates little more

than a smirk among average Americans. Itwouldn't even be worth writing about if itdidn't cost us so much money. The UN hasalready cost the U. S. taxpayers more than$10 billion. Now it is costing us almost $1billion a year in membership assessment,voluntary contributions, and other fundsfrom foreign aid.

Until 1964, the United States paid 40percent of the UN assessed budget. Since1974, we've paid "only" 25 percent. Russiapays less than 13 percent.The Soviet Union has consistently used

the UN as a haven for its KGB agents in theUnited States. By getting them hired by theUN Secretariat, Russia can shift the payrollexpense of its professional spies onto theUnited States. Arkady Shevchenko, whoheld the second highest post in the UNbefore his defection to the West in 1978,said that a very high percentage of Russiansemployed by the UN Secretariat report tothe KGB.The veto power of the Security Council

(made up of the big powers) makes the UN anunworkable organization. The internationalgoals of the Communist and non-Communistpowers are simply irreconcilable.

That's why the Soviet Union has castmore than a hundred vetoes. About halfwere to blackball admission of non-Com-munist nations. Other vetoes stymied anyUN investigation of Communist aggression,including the takeover of Czechoslovakia in1948 and the invasion of Hungary in 1956.In more recent years, the United States hasbeen compelled to use our veto in order toprotect the vital interests of our friends fromUN interference.As the Security Council became immobi-

lized because of its veto, the GeneralAssembly flexed its muscles and began tothink it is important. The General Assemblyhas become a forum for inflammatory insultsagainst the West in general and against theUnited States in particular. The UnitedStates is repeatedly and falsely accused ofracism, aggression, colonialism, and im-perialism. In September 1981, 93 ThirdWorld nations accused the United States ofbeing the only threat to world peace andprosperity today!The General Assembly and various UN

agencies have tried hard to redistribute U. S.resources and to regulate U. S. businessactivities in the Third World. Vehicles forthese efforts have included the Law of theSea Treaty (which would block using ourmineral deposits between our West Coastand Hawaii), the efforts to restrict privateenterprise on the moon and in space, andthe efforts to regulate the pharmaceuticalindustry.UNESCO (the UN Educational, Scientific

and Cultural Organization) has been busytrying to license and regulate journalists inorder to censor the free flow of information.Such policies are totally anathema to ourconcept of a free press.

It's time that we face up to the fact thatthe UN is anti-American, anti-Western, anti-capitalist, anti-industrialist, and looks uponthe United States as a sucker on whom therest of the world can make outrageousdemands. The UN has always been a rip-offof American interests and money, and it hasnow become a costly, embarrassing ir-relevancy. If we are looking for places to

cut the federal budget, the UN would be agood place to start.

Soviet Influence at the UN

TS. Ambassador to the United Nations. Jeane Kirkpatrick has been courageous

enough to speak the truth about how we aretreated at the UN. She says that Americaninfluence at the UN is trivial and that we aregenerally labeled as the world's "mainvillain." That's the thanks we get fordonating the land, building the UN head-quarters, and subsidizing the UN's extrava-gance to the tune of a billion dollars a year.

Mrs. Kirkpatrick put her finger on thesource of the problem. The Soviet Unionhas consistently framed the issues in anti-Western ways. More precisely, "the SovietUnion has succeeded in depicting the worldas a great class struggle—the poor manyagainst the rich few. Since we're the richestof all, we come out as the main villain."

It isn't any accident that the Soviet Unionis dominant in the United Nations. It was allplanned that way. The second UN SecretaryGeneral, Trygve Lie, let the secret out ofthe closet when he wrote his book called Inthe Cause of Peace.

Lie wrote in this book that the Sovietswere given monopoly and perpetual controlover the second most important position inthe UN Secretariat, the post called UnderSecretary General for Political and SecurityCouncil Affairs. This throttle-hold on theUN was arranged in a secret agreementmade in London in 1945 between Molotovand the U. S. Secretary of State EdwardStettinius (when Alger Hiss was one of hisadvisers).The proof of the agreement is the fact

that it has been kept throughout all 38 yearsof the UN's existence. Here is the list of thethirteen consecutive Communists to hold theposition of Under Secretary General forPolitical and Security Council Affairs start-ing in 1945: Arkady Sobolev, Constantin E.Zinchenko, Ilya S. Tchernychev, DragoslavProtitch, Anatoly Dobrynin, Georgy Petro-vitch Arkadev, Eugeny Kiselev, VladimirP. Suslov, Alexi Efremovitch Nesternko,Leonid N. Kutakov, Arkady N. Shevchenko,Mikhail D. Sytenko, and Viacheslav Ustinov.All were Russian Communists except theone Yugoslav Communist, Dragoslav Protitch,who was permitted to hold the position for abrief time during the period of Tito's totalsubservience to Moscow.The Department of Political and Security

Council Affairs has control over all UNmilitary, political, nuclear, and disarmamentquestions. When Shevchenko defected tothe United States in 1978, leaving hisprestigious $76,000-a-year UN job, he be-came a most valuable source of intelligenceinformation on Soviet espionage.The United Nations was founded in 1945

on a Charter which states that its firstobjective is "to maintain international peaceand security." Since then, we fought athree-year UN war in Korea costing 33,000American lives, and another ten-year war inVietnam costing 50,000 American lives.

The second purpose spelled out in the UNCharter is "to develop friendly relationsamong nations based on respect for theprinciple of equal rights and self-determina-tion of peoples." Yet the UN did nothing atall about the Soviet invasions of Hungaryand Czechoslovakia, the Red Chinese inva-sion of Tibet, India's invasion of Goa,Turkey's invasion of Cyprus, or the Sovietinvasion of Afghanistan.Whole nations have died while the diplo-

mats in the UN talked and continued theirsocial round of an estimated 2,000 alcoholicparties per year (with tax-free liquor).Nearly half of every UN dollar is spent onhigh salaries, new buildings, office furni-ture, and travel, all under the heading"administrative overhead."Any remaining claim for the UN as a

moral force was abandoned when it expelledthe Republic of China on Taiwan and gaveits seat to the Mao-Chou regime of RedChina which murdered at least 50 millionpeople. The 156 members certainly aren't"united," and many are so small they canhardly be called "nations."The Soviets have consistently misused

and abused our hospitality in New YorkCity. They park illegally; they ignore billsand legal summons; they scoff at lawsuits;they walk away from criminal charges; theyact with the arrogance of royal immunity.

Ever since the founding of the UN, theUnited States has been handicapped byillusions that the UN could promote peaceand concord in international relations. Atthe same time, the Soviet Union used theUN as an instrument to serve its ownambitions, especially as a propaganda plat-form and an espionage headquarters. TheUnited Nations has been a cow fed by theUnited States and milked by the Russians.

Punishing Ourselves at the UN

T he U. S. role in the United Nationscould be described as cultural/national

sadomasochism. We have eagerly submittedto letting our nation be tied down byone-way rules and then kicked around. Weseem to rejoice in letting our national honorand values be flogged, month in and monthout, while we are paying dearly for thepleasure.Under the strange perverted rules of UN

procedure, it is acceptable for everyone toattack America, but it is not acceptable forus to defend ourselves—or to attack theSoviet Union. Ambassador Jeane Kirk-patrick reports that the United States isroutinely blamed for everything in the worldwhile denied ordinary courtesies extendedto all other member nations.

Country after country accuses us of pre-cisely the crimes of which they are them-selves guilty. For example, the Sovietsaccuse us of interfering in the internal affairsof Afghanistan, of disturbing the peace andusing chemical warfare there.

Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellarcomplained to the General Assembly thatthe UN cannot play an effective role insettling world disputes. He candidly ad-

mitted that the UN has failed in Afghanis-tan, Lebanon, Iran-Iraq, the Falklands,Cyprus, Central America, Cambodia, andPoland.

Rather than solving conflicts, it is prob-able that the UN actually exacerbates them—making them seem more important thanthey are, increasing tensions, and actuallyfunding anti-Western terrorist organizationswhich disturb the peace.The Soviets dominate the agenda, the

votes, and the constant anti-American, anti-Western, anti-private-enterprise rhetoric.They insist on non-intervention in countriesthey control such as Afghanistan, but ad-vocate a maximum UN role in South Africa,Israel, Chile, and El Salvador.The Soviet-UN attack on Israel is unremitt-

ing. The Security Council or the GeneralAssembly have adopted more than 150 anti-Israel resolutions and even declared Zionisma form of racism.

In the mid-1960s, the Third World nationsorganized the "Group of 77" to try to stealeconomic benefits from the United States.More than 120 countries now belong to theGroup. They agitate all the time for a "NewInternational Economic Order," which meansforcing the U. S. taxpayers to give themdirect handouts plus soft low-interest loans,and forcing us to turn over our industrial,space, and ocean-floor technology and patents.The UN is the world's leading opponent

of a free press. The UN admitted giving$432,000 to 15 foreign newspapers to runpropaganda articles advocating economic,social and political proposals to benefit theThird World. Disgusted scholars know thatUN "research" is propaganda; the outcomeand conclusions are prescribed in advance.Nobody seems to know how much we

really spend per year on the UN. Ourout-of-pocket costs are about $1 billion peryear. Andrew Young estimates the realcosts at twice that amount. It has cost us$10 billion since the UN was founded in1946. The United States provides 25% ofthe UN budget, while the voting majoritypays only 3%.A Heritage Foundation study reported

that the 1981 General Assembly votes were84.9% favorable to the U.S.S.R. comparedwith 25% favorable to the United States.Tanzania received $37 million from us, butvoted with us only 17% of the time, whilevoting with the Russians 87% of the time.Algeria, Angola and Mozambique, all ofwhich received U. S. aid, voted with usonly 14%, 17%, and 11% of the time,respectively.

Soviet use of the UN as a headquartersfor espionage is so well-known and acceptedthat hardly anyone comments on it anymore. It's too late for reform. It's time toinsist that some other nation host the UNheadquarters for the next generation becausewe are fed up with being the espionagecapital of the world.

UN Funding for Terrorists

M ost Americans don't realize it, butsome of our tax dollars are being

JANUARY 1984 7

used to finance terrorist and guerrilla groupsin foreign countries. Oh, it doesn't godirectly; it is "laundered" by being fun-nelled through a middleman called theUnited Nations. Research by the HeritageFoundation shows that the UN is activelysupporting Soviet-backed guerrilla move-ments all over the world.Since 1975, the United Nations has spent

$116 million on "national liberation move-ments," of which 24 percent has come outof the pockets of U. S. taxpayers. An evenlarger percentage has come from otherWestern democracies.Funny thing, all the so-called national

liberation movements (NLM) to which theUN gives money are anti-American andanti-Western. Most are Marxist and haveties to the Soviet Union.The United States contributed about $97

million to the World Food Program in 1980,or 28 percent of the budget. Between 1974and 1981, the World Food Program gave$44 million in cash, commodities and ser-vices to national liberation movements, mostof them Marxist. The Soviet Union regularlygives arms and military training to thosesame national liberation movements, butgives nothing at all to the World FoodProgram, and never has.As one case in point, look at the long-

time, substantial UN aid given to SWAPO(Southwest African People's Organization),which has been trying for years to take overSouthwest Africa (Namibia).When SWAPO's leader, Sam Nujoma,

spoke to the UN in 1973, he said: "I pledgehere and now that we will continue to talkto South Africa in the only language theyunderstand, and that is intensification ofarmed liberation struggle. SWAPO willcontinue to mobilize the masses and intensi-fy and expand military operations until allthe objectives of the struggle are realized."SWAPO has a record of terrorist attacks

against civilians going back to the late1960s. A favorite SWAPO terrorist tactic isthe planting of land mines at random onpublic roads in Namibia. SWAPO alsoassassinates officials of rival political parties.SWAPO relies heavily on the Soviet

Union and other Eastern bloc countries formilitary equipment, supplies and militarytraining. But a guerrilla movement needsfood, medicines and civilian supplies, too,and SWAPO gets those mostly from theUN.

In 1981, SWAPO had access to $28million worth of UN food, education, medicaland vocational training. Since 1979, the UNHigh Commissioner of Refugees gave $10million for the Namibian refugee camps,mostly in Angola. Since 1974, SWAPO hasreceived $5.4 million from the World FoodProgram, $7.7 million from the UN Develop-ment Program; $256,000 from the WorldHealth Organization; and $90,000 from theFood and Agriculture Organization.When you add it all up, the UN and its

specialized agencies have allocated at least$40 million in aid, directly or indirectly, toSWAPO since 1977. The U. S. taxpayers

contributed about 30 percent of this.Through a UN resolution, SWAPO was

given a free international public relationsservice. This enables SWAPO to distributeits propaganda over UN-sponsored radio.Many observers believe that the mantle of

political legitimacy which is conferred bythe UN on national liberation movements isjust as important as the cash. In 1976,SWAPO was granted "permanent observer"status in the UN General Assembly. TheUN recognized SWAPO as "the sole andauthentic representative of the Namibianpeople." SWAPO has been invited by theSecurity Council to participate in its meet-ings on Namibia.When the UN gives official UN recogni-

tion to a Communist-oriented guerrilla group,this "UN seal of approval" gives the NLMa tremendous advantage over its politicalrivals in its home country. The pro-Com-munist, UN-backed NLM then appears tobe the u;ue representative of the peoplewhen, in reality, it may be only one ofseveral warring factions.The U. S. General Accounting Office

should conduct a full investigation into howU. S. tax funds find their way, directly orindirectly, into guerrilla or terrorist organiza-tions.

UN a Global Nanny

Even though it's been obvious ever sincethe Korean War that the United Nations

is incapable of keeping world peace, thepopular justification for its cost is that theUN does a great many other useful things.Dr. Murray L. Weidenbaum, former Presi-dential adviser and now Director of theCenter for the Study of American Business,punctured this myth in his testimony to theSenate Foreign Relations Committee.

In fact, he said, the UN engages in a lot ofmischief-making in its efforts to control andregulate world economies. The UN lookslike it is trying to become a "global nanny"—and that's something the American private-enterprise system doesn't need.

Dr. Weidenbaum hit the internationalistdo-gooders right in the spot where it wouldhurt the most by dissecting the UN's pro-posed Consumer Protection Guidelines. Hecharges that they not only have the earmarksof becoming "a blueprint for a more cen-trally directed society," but they would even"flunk a truth-in-labeling test."

While this UN proposal is blanketed withlayers of lovely words such as safety, purity,consumer education, and international co-operation, Dr. Weidenbaum concludes thatconsumers would be hurt more than pro-tected if its grandiose schemes ever went intoeffect.The UN Guidelines state that their objec-

tive is "to facilitate production patternsgeared to meeting the most important needsof consumers." In a private-enterprise econ-omy like ours, the pressures of the market-place do exactly that (without any UNhelp).But the UN Guidelines imply that an

all-wise central government should identify"the most important needs" of consumers,and then use controls and governmentaldecision-making to meet those needs. Justlook 4 the results in the centrally-plannedCommunist countries; most of them can'teven feed themselves.

In Russia, such central planning to meetconsumer needs has in the past resulted insuch idiocies as manufacturing shoes ofonly one size each year. If you wear a size12, you have to wait until the year whensize 12s are made in order to get a new pair.

Another lofty goal of the UN Guidelinesis: "To curb business practices at _thenational and international levels which ad-versely affect consumers." But how do youdefine it? An "adverse effect" in India orZaire could be a salutary effect for con-sumers in the Caribbean or Columbia. Whois the all-wise mogul in the UN to decidewhat is "good" and what is "bad?"As Dr. Weidenbaum points out, nearly

any product or business practice can bearbitrarily labeled "abusive" when it isheld up against a standard that cannot beachieved, or for which consumers do notwish to pay. Brand X Soap might be held to"adversely affect" consumers simply be-cause it does not have the "ideal" qualitiesBrand Y Soap.

Another vague, far-reaching objective ofthe UN Guidelines is: "To promote just,equitable and sustainable economic andsocial development." But who will determinewhat is just? Why is an international bureau-crat better able to determine which consumerproducts are "sustainable" than those whovoluntarily spend their own money for theproducts?

At least one of the UN Guidelines is goodfor a laugh: "To establish standards ofethical conduct for those engaged in produc-tion and distribution of goods and servicesto consumers." Who will be the czar of"ethical conduct?" Russia?

The UN Guidelines present a list of new"rights," including the right to "physicalsafety from dangerous goods and services"and "economic safety from offenses ormalpractices." The Guidelines fail to men-tion that safety must be balanced with costs.Who will decide what are "dangerous goodsand services?" As Dr. Weidenbaum pointsout, few consumer products can competewith the kitchen knife in terms of injuries.

You can get a feel for the bias of theGuidelines by noting that they give con-sumer organizations the "right" to "beconsulted and to have their views repre-sented in the decision-making process."There are, however, no provisions forrepresenting the views of private enterprise.

Furthermore, the Guidelines talk about"the decision-making process" as thoughonly one can exist. That is the giveawaythat the Guidelines are not intended for free,private-enterprise economies, but are de-signed to establish or promote centralized,planned economies in which national govern-

TheLafayettes

Program given for the Extended

DAR Tour to France at

the birthplace of Lafayette.

BY THE MARQUIS AND MARQUISE DE CHAMBRUN

M

y husband has asked me to tell you how very specialit is for us to be able to give this program in the verybirthplace of Lafayette the 226th anniversary of hisbirth. It is, after years of work and research, for us,

like a dream come true! He wants you to know that each year nowhe has the idea that, on 6th September, there should be a specialpilgrimage to Chavaniac. This year we had decided to try to dosomething about it to mark the Bicentennial of the Treaties of Parisand Versailles on Lafayette's birthday.He suggested that we give our lecture to the DAR as our

personal gift to them for the celebration of the Treaties. It was theDAR of Cincinnati who first asked us to lecture in 1965—and whoabsolutely refused to take no for an answer! We did not know thenthat one never said no to the DAR. I was very new to Americathen and so know nothing about those "firm hands in little whitegloves." Of course, they finally persuaded me it was my duty tospeak for my husband and after six months of research he and Ihad our program ready for the DAR of Cincinnati under theregency of Mrs. Walter Langsam, the wife of the then President ofthe University of Cincinnati. Since then, we have travelled far andwide across the United States lecturing. It is my husband's way ofreaffirming the friendship between his beloved France and hisbeloved America which his brave ancestor began so long ago. Andout of this work have grown so many friendships for us personally—amongst them a most loving and respected one for the DAR. Itis, then, with very special affection that we ask you to come with

us today on a journey back through the dusty pages of history.Somehow in these old stone walls, the whispers make the journeyseem so much easier. We haven't far to go today: we are here inChavaniac! The midwife has good news: a bouncing redheadedboy has been born to the Marquise!

Lafayette was born on 6 September 1757 in this Chateau ofChavaniac which stands in Auvergne, a wild, lovely rugged part ofthe centre of France. You will have noted its beauty and mountainson your drive here. In infancy, he had been deprived of his father,a young colonel who at the age of 27 years had been killed inaction against the British.The russet-headed, blue-eyed boy spent his childhood here

within the walls of this ancient chateau reared mainly by threewomen: his paternal grandmother and two aunts. His young motherwas compelled to spend much time away keeping the family nameknown at court so that when her son was old enough, a place in thecourt would be awaiting him. She was able to spend only thesummers here at Chavaniac. Lafayette grew up very sensitive tothe abject poverty of the peasants of Auvergne who lived crushedby the unjust administration of the France of that time in which thewealthy and aristocratic families, and the church, were heavilyprivileged and paid little or no taxes.

It was, then, at a very early age that the boy began to feel thefirst stirrings of a sense of justice and liberty. It was an ideal whichlater was to send him far across the seas to America to fight in itsname. Because of his ideals he was to find himself glorified on

14 DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION MAGAZINE

both sides of the Atlantic, and then persecuted and imprisoned foryears in chains in the Old World.Here in Auvergne, as a child, the young French lord was

beloved and bowed to by the peasants who looked upon him astheir little master as he passed them in his carriage; but his heartwas with them. He was already aware of his heritage as the sonand grandson of heroes. In 1768 he left Chacaniac for college, andfound himself, feeling clumsy, in a very different and bewilderingworld—an artificial world which he did not admire. After thecarefree sunlit days of Auvergne, it was hard for him to adapt tothe sophistication of society.

At the age of thirteen, Lafayette lost both his mother and hisgrandfather. Quite suddenly, as sole heir to his wealthy grandfather,the Marquis de la Riviere, he found himself one of the richest lordsof France, owner of vast properties and of a fortune which wasquite fabulous. But young Lafayette was not impressed with hisgreat wealth.

Later he wrote of it: "Of the two of us, my tutor was moreimpressed. I was conscious only of the loss of my mother and hadnever been in need of money." After college, the young marquisentered the Corps d'Elite and completed his military training at theexclusive Academie de Versailles.

But his very great wealth, coupled as it was with ancient lineageattracted the attention of the all-powerful Duke d'Ayen of thefamous Noailles family which was very close to the throne ofFrance. This gentleman had five daughters and he decided thatyoung Lafayette would make an excellent match for his seconddaughter, Adrienne.

That this young lady was only twelve years old at the time didnot deter him. He wished the marriage to take place at once. Buthis wise and good wife pleaded that the young couple should waittwo years and persuaded the Duke to agree. Meanwhile, hearranged that Lafayette become an ensign in his own regiment deNoailles. The marriage took place in Paris on April 11, 1774.Lafayette was 16 and Adrienne 14.

Although in our modern age we are horrified at the thought ofarranged marriages, the marriage of Lafayette and Adrienne turnedout to be a very special one and little Adrienne de Noailles broughtto her young husband, right from the start, a heart full of love andloyalty and all the courage necessary to be the wife of a man suchas he.She had been brought up with many virtues by an exceptional

mother, a religious woman who cared little for the trappings ofhigh society and who was essentially good—a quality she passedon to her daughters. Adrienne's courage was later to be wellproven and her love was ever a solace to her husband. This was amarriage of a hero to a heroine —but at the time nobody knew this

Whilst Lafayette was doing his military service at Metz,something happened which was to have profound effect on his life.The Duke of Gloucester, brother of George the third of England,

visited the regiment and was invited to dine. Young Lafayette wasone of those chosen to attend the dinner and he listened absorbed,as the Duke spoke about the struggle of the American colonies.The Duke, himself, felt as did many of the great men of England,that his brother was being unjust with regard to his treatment of thepeople of the American colonies. As Lafayette listened to thearguments, he felt the injustice of the British king, and his heartwas forever won over to the American cause.Not long after, and quite suddenly, he got the idea to go to

America. He longed to join in the great fight for liberty. He wrote:"The moment I heard of America, I loved her. The moment Iknew she was fighting for freedom, I burned with a desire ofbleeding for her, and the moment I shall be able to serve her, atany time or in any part of the world, will be the happiest one of mylife."He and two close friends secretly plotted to depart for the new

world and fight for liberty. For although France's heart was in theAmerican fight, she was still a neutral country. Their plot reachedroyal ears and the French king and his ministers were to crush it.They were afraid that England would think that such highly placedyoung nobles were acting with the official sanction of the Frenchgovernment.

In spite of the fact that Lafayette's friends had to give up theproject, against implicit instructions of his own father-in-law,Lafayette went ahead and signed himself into the American Armywith the rank of Lt. General through Silas Deane who was actingAmerican envoy. Lafayette was then nineteen years of age.

It is well known, as we turn back our pages in history, thatLafayette consequently gave not only his heart, soul, and blood tofight for liberty but he gave also much of his personal fortune. Itwas he who paid for the ship that took him to the shores ofAmerica. Later he equipped and uniformed his entire battalion. Hetook with him several brave men.

Before the end of the year 1777, Lafayette had spent over$170,000 in cash, and accumulated short term debts of an added$200,000 towards the American cause. He was still in his teens,and there were those in France who felt great anxiety at the fire ofenthusiasm which flamed within him. His family worried that hewould never reach the new world or that if he did, he would bewithout personal funds available to him and, of course, in perilthere. Benjamin Franklin also worried over his welfare and wrotebegging Washington to try to dampen the ardent bravery of theyouth when he met him, for the sake of the beautiful young wifehe had left in France. "He is exceedingly beloved ... " he wrote.Beloved at home, Lafayette was to become the very symbol of abeloved one in the great new land that lay ahead of him.

His ship, the Victoire, took 54 days to cross the Atlantic fromSpain and 80 days in all from France. The voyage was perilous,the British were seeking him, storms and contrary winds beleaguredthem and the ship was delayed by becalments. Lafayette, althoughlater to be proved an excellent soldier, was far from being a goodsailor: sea-sickness made him very ill throughout the voyage as itdid his friends.

Eventually, his ship neared the Carolina ports, silently anddarkly cleaving black waters at night, without lights, for fear ofBritish frigates that blockaded Charleston. Food was running lowand so was water and Lafayette felt they must find a lessconspicuous place than Charleston to land. They edged the coastand found a landing spot 25 leagues from Charleston. Lafayetteand Baron de Kalb went ashore with seven seamen in the ship'slaunch to spy out the land. They met a small oyster boat after awhile, and in it were slaves of a Major Huger who told them theyhad anchored in the Bay of Georgetown. They followed the boatinland until their own stuck in the mud, then Lafayette and hisgroup transferred to the boat of the black men. It was almostmidnight before Lafayette first set foot on the soil of his belovedAmerica. Years later, he declared that his first words were in theform of an oath, an oath to succeed or die in the American cause,which he felt very strongly was also the cause of France. Therewas a light wavering through the night mists and trees in thedarkness, and they headed towards it. Dogs began to bark, theplantation became alive and a voice, alarmed, called out demandingto know who was there and what was wanted. It was the German,Baron de Kalb, who knew English, who shouted out that they wereFrench officers just landed to join the Continental Army.And soon now they were inside welcomed by Major Huger.

Lafayette, after many months of stress, sea-sickness and hardship,said that he retired that night to rest "rejoiced that he had at lastattained the haven of his wishes and was safely landed in Americabeyond the reach of his pursuers." The comfortable bed withmosquito netting around it, the quietness of the Southern Americangentleman's home and the kindness of those who welcomed himmust have, indeed, seemed like a haven. Later the Major providedLafayette and de Kalb with horses for their journey onto Charlestonwhere their welcome was enthusiastic. He wrote his first impressionsof the American people to his young wife who awaited the birth oftheir second child in far away France, "The happiness of Americais intimately connected with the happiness of all mankind. She isdestined to become the safe and venerable asylum of virtue, ofhonesty, of tolerance, of equality and of peaceful liberty."He described Charleston as being a city "worthy of its inhabitants

... everything attesting to cultivation and ease .....The city ofCharleston is one of the most attractive and the best built andinhabited by the most agreeable people I have ever seen ..." and,

JANUARY 1984 15

being a true Frenchman, he couldn't help but add, "The Americanwomen are very beautiful." The American people were alreadyaffecting Lafayette: "They are as my enthusiasm led me to expect... simplicity of manners, a wish to be obliging, love of countryand of liberty are to be seen in everyone ... the richest and thepoorest are on the same level ...and though there are vast fortunesin this country, I defy you to find the least difference in men'smanners towards one another."The journey onto Philadelphia from Charleston was something

of an ordeal for the Frenchmen: the roads were terrible and thehorses too old and unsteady so that many had to be abandoned andthe carriages, anyway, soon became wrecks. Part of the way wastravelled by foot and they slept in the open, plagued by mosquitosand intense heat, and made sick with dysentery and fevers. After32 days they reached Philadelphia in a sorry state, ragged and illfor the most part, wretched and bedraggled. It seemed to themthen, that no future campaign they would endure could ever be ashard, but Lafayette and his band felt their usual enthusiasm, and hewas optimistic and glad to have now reached the teeming city ofPhiladelphia.But in Philadelphia there were rebuffs because of his youth;

some felt that here was yet another foreign adventurer. But whenhe quietly offered to serve in any rank and without payment at all,many were surprised and he was accepted and introdUced to thegreat Washington himself.

For Lafayette this meeting was not a disappointment. He wrote:"Although he was surrounded by officers and citizens, it wasimpossible to mistake for a moment his majestic figure anddeportment, nor was he less distinguished by the noble affability ofhis manner."So, you see, there began a friendship which was to stay in the

hearts of both men throughout their lives. Never did Lafayette'slove of Washington nor his loyalty to his beloved general falterthroughout his own long life. In General Washington, Lafayettefound the father he had never known. His love of Washington sooften is evident in the letters he wrote home: This honourable manwhose talents and virtues I admire and whom I venerate the morethe better I become acquainted with him has done me the honour tobe my intimate friend. When he learned I had been wounded hesent me his own medical attendant urging him to treat me with asmuch care as if I were not only the Commander-in-Chief's friend,but his son."

For Lafayette was soon to shed his blood, and once he hadproven his incredible bravery (which fortunately remained withhim throughout his life), America and Washington took himforever to their heart—a sacred place in which he still remains.Washington's own natural reserve and his doubts melted forever.The boy general was given command of a brigade. He was often atMount Vernon. (Lafayette's love and loyalty for his general laterwas to be perhaps most greatly manifested when he stood upbravely to propose the toast to Washington which was to squashforever the efforts of those who were disloyal to the father of thisland. This took place in York, Pa. It is called to this day "TheToast That Saved the Nation." The Bicentennial of that occasionwas marked with wineglasses engraved with Lafayette making thetoast.) Shortly after obtaining his command, he learned with painthe death of his elder daughter in faraway France. (For Adrienneno comfort of her husband's presence, but she never complainedfor her heart was in his ideal, too.)When France finally entered the war, Lafayette wished to return

to fight England directly from France and he was given leave byCongress. Laden with honours, he returned to the country of hisbirth. Washington wrote this of him to Benjamin Franklin, whowas then serving America with such triumph in France: "Thegenerous motives which first induced him to cross the Atlantic, thetribute which he paid at the Battle of Brandywine, his success inJersey before he recovered from his wounds, his services againstthe British Grenadiers and against Rhode Island are such proofs inhis zeal, military ardour, and talents as have endeared him toAmerica and must greatly recommend him to his prince. Comingwith so many titles to claim your esteem, it were needless for anyother purpose than to indulge my own feeling to add that I have a

particular friendship for him, and that whatever services you haveit in your power to render him will confer an obligation on ...,"so wrote General Washington and a letter was written to LouisXVI recommending Lafayette in honour.

Lafayette wrote before leaving: "My dear General ... I hopeyour French friend will be ever dear to you......

Although Lafayette was placed under domiciliary arrest on hisreturn to France (you must remember he had disobeyed his king bysailing for America), it was all purely nominal and QueenMarie-Antoinette opened the court ball with the "Hero of TwoWorlds" as he was called. Those of us who have just been inVersailles can perhaps imagine the glittering splendor of thatscene, the silks and laces, the powdered wigs and the minuet in thesalon of mirrors.Even though his welcome home was intoxicating, Lafayette,

disappointed in the lack of military action, soon pined for hisbeloved America. He had returned to France February 1779 but hesailed again for America in March 1780. In December 1779, thelong desired heir had been born to the marquise: he was namedGeorge Washington de Lafayette, and General Washington was hisgodfather.The next time Lafayette returned to France, he was even more

renowned. His success in America, and the capitulation of Yorktownhad made him even more famous as the hero of both worlds. Hispopularity on both sides of the Atlantic was now immense. GeneralWashington sent him a life-size portrait of himself and his wife andthis was returned by a family portrait of the Lafayettes. Gifts andletters shuttled across the Atlantic between the two families. InOctober 1782 another daughter had been born to Adrienne and thebaby girl was christened Virginie after the State of Virginia whereLafayette had had his first victory. It is from Virginie my husbandis descended.

Lafayette returned to America for the third time in July 1784,and this time his reception here was triumphant. Now, cities andtowns and villages were named after him. City after city showeredhim with their freedom. Congress passed a bill making his maledescendents forever honorary citizens of the Unions In December1784, the State of Maryland honored him and all of his male heirsas citizens of the State forever. But when Lafayette left Americaagain for France he received from Washington a most touchingletter. It was almost as though the Father of America had apremonition. The letter read: "In the moment of our separationupon the road as I traveled, and every hour since, I have felt allthat love, respect and attachment for you which length of years,close connection, and your merits have inspired me. I often askedmyself as our carriages separated whether that was the last sight Ishould have of you, and though I wished to say No; my fearsanswered Yes."

Washington was right. The two friends were never to meet againon this earth. Although Washington lived another 14 years, fatekept them apart.

In the growing unrest of France and the subsequent revolutionwhich led to the Terror, Lafayette's position was a dangerous anddifficult one in his own country. Hailed by the people as one ofthem in his love for liberty, a man who stood firmly againstdespotism or injustice of any kind, Lafayette knew there must bedrastic changes in France. He was placed at the head of theNational Guard.The Queen grew to fear and distrust him, and yet it was his very

loyalty to the royal family which later led Robespierre to chargehim with high treason. In this terrible and troubled time, Adriennelearned that her husband had escaped from Belgium where he wascommanding the Revolutionary Armies only to be arrested by thecoalition army across the border. He was eventually flung into thedungeons of Omultz by the Emperor of Austria who disapprovedof Lafayette's democratic views. There he spent five terrible longyears imprisoned and in chains.We have spoken only briefly of Adrienne. We know of her

fortitude when left so often by Lafayette whilst he went off to fightfor his ideal of liberty. His letters had always been like a flame forher, full of love, and although she knew there had been times whenhe was not fair towards her, her love had remained strong.

16 DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION MAGAZINE

Now, however, you will learn more of the incredible courage ofthe wife of Lafayette.

At this time in France terror raged. Madness had swept thecountry and liberty had run amok. To speak against the evil thatraged was enough to send one to the guillotine. To be of nobleblood or in sympathy or service of those of noble blood was reasonenough to die. The guillotines had become permanent erections.Blood flowed everywhere; and mostly innocent blood. Soon theFemme Lafayette, the Woman Lafayette, as she was now scornfullycalled, was arrested and flung into jail to await execution—to bethe wife of Lafayette was now an added reason to die.On June 2, 1794, Adrienne's sister, Louise, her fine and gentle

mother and her aged grandmother were taken from prison andbeheaded. All three were good and fine women. They perished oneafter the other; the last two to die walking through the warm newlyspilled blood of loved ones in their little silk slippers. Adriennewaited in her cell for the summons of the blade. Her children hadbeen sent to safety. (Her life was miraculously saved by the suddendownfall of Robespierre, and the persistent interventions of agrateful and loyal American government.)

After much trouble, and with the help of American passports,Adrienne went with her two daughters to Austria to plead with theEmperor for the freedom of her husband, which was refused, andthen to be allowed to join him with her daughters in his dungeon.This was permitted. (Their son, George Washington de Lafayette,had already been sent to safety in America where his goodgodfather was sheltering him at Mount Vernon.)

Since Lafayette had made two abortive attempts to escape, oncewith help of a young American, the son of Major Huger who hadwelcomed Lafayette so long ago in South Carolina and an Austrianfriend, his conditions of imprisonment on recapture had becomeeven worse. He had been in complete isolation and chains for overa year when Adrienne and her two daughters were shown into hiscell. Fortunately, he had known nothing of the outside world or ofpoor Adrienne's intense sufferings, for he had imagined his familyto have escaped to safety in America as he had planned theyshould.

Imagine the joy when the dungeon door opened and hisAdrienne walked in with their daughters! Even in the dismalsetting of a dungeon how great that joy must have been!Unfortunately, conditions were so bad that Adrienne soon fell illwith blood poisoning and their daughters caught an infectiousdisease. Adrienne became so ill that she begged to be allowed toleave briefly to get medical treatment. But she was told that shecould do so only on condition she did not again return. Indignantly,she refused this chance to improve her health. She would not beseparated from her beloved husband.

Eventually, Napolean Bonaparte's victories made it possible forthe prisoners to be released. But, as Napolean the First feared andwas jealous of Lafayette's popularity, it was some time before hecould return to his native land.

Adrienne returned to France first. She paved the way forLafayette's return. The family had been completely ruined by therevolution and all their vast properties had been confiscated. ButAdrienne, with difficulty, managed to buy back La Grange, one ofthe chateaux of her Noailles family. This became their home. InParis, Adrienne and her sister built a little chapel near the openditch where the decapitated bodies of their loved ones had beenflung along with so many other victims of the terror.We have just been with you in the little cemetery of Picpus

which has grown up beside that open pit. As you know, here, close

to that pit, Adrienne and Lafayette are buried and the flag of theUnited States flies forever over their grave. This year after theceremonies we prayed again in the little chapel. Two white robednuns knelt one each side of the altar, above them crystal chande-liers gleamed in the afternoon sunlight. It was all very silent andbeautiful, a perpetual prayer in memory of the innocent victims ofterror. We hope some of you had a chance to enter the chapel too.On the walls are inscribed the names of those victims whoseheadless bodies were flung into the pit, the namesakes of aristocratsit is true, but also the names of domestic servants, barbers, clerksand of good little people of Paris who dared to protest an evil andtyranny.

Adrienne died on Christmas Eve 1807 from the blood poisoningcontracted in those dungeons. She had been ailing for some time.On her deathbed when she told Lafayette what a good person hewas he replied: "It is you who are good! Do you remember myfirst departure for America? Everybody was upraiding me. You hidyour tears at M. Segur's wedding. You did not want to show yourgrief for fear that I would be blamed.""C'est vrai," she replied. "It's true ... it was rather nice

behaviour for a child, but how good of you to remember it all thistime!"The loss of Adrienne was a terrible thing for Lafayette and

though he lived on for 27 years more he prayed for her daily andwore a locket containing her hair. On his deathbed his fingerssought that locket. And it was George Washington de Lafayettewho placed it in his father's hand.La Grange which passed to my husband's cousin, the Marquis

de Lasteyrie, is now in the possession of another cousin, ComteRene de Chambrun whom some of you met in Paris the son of thelate Clara Longworth de Chambrun of Cincinnati. In one of theunused towers many valuable documents, etchings and belongingsof Lafayette have been recently discovered.They had been placed there by a former Marquise de Lasteyrie

who had been a staunch British Tory and not an admirer ofLafayette! So she had put all his papers and books, etc., out ofsight up in an unused tower which was so dry that all had beenperfectly preserved ... a great find for history! That chateau toohas now been turned into a foundation. But Chavaniac is thebirthplace of beloved and most loyal friend and as such must bepreserved.The story of Lafayette does not end with the death of Adrienne.

He remained always a fighter for liberty, and a thorn in the side ofdespotism ... an inspiration for those of us who love truth,freedom and justice.

His final journey to the United States was made in 1824 and1825. Everywhere he went, it seemed as though his belovedgeneral was beside him. People flocked from far and wide to touchthe hand of the tall old French gentleman who had been a closefriend of General Washington.

Lafayette's final words at the farewell banquet given for him atthe White House were: "God bless the American people, each oftheir states and the Federal Government. Accept this patrioticfarewell from an overflowing heart which will remain full ofgratitude until the moment it ceases to beat."

That brave French heart ceased to beat on May 20th 1834 andnow rests under American soil beside his Adrienne in the quietcemetery of Picpus in Paris. But we feel sure that his spirit and thatof his beloved Adrienne are here with us in The Chateau deChavaniac, their home, today!

Other homes ontour included The Lawn, presently beingadded to the National Historic Registersince it was the first of three homes onLawyer's Hill built by prominent Baltimorelawyers, ca. 1840; Hursley Manor, May-croft, Armagh, and the Servants Quarters atMaycroft—the latter four all having beenbuilt by children of Judge George Dobbinwho built The Lawn. All are in the processof restoration to their original splendor.

Conger, Curator at the White House, and Curator, Diplomatic ReceptionRooms, Department of State, is now underway to furnish the House with gifts of English and Americanantiques of the Queen Anne and Chippendale styles in keeping with the noteworthy 18th centurypaintings by John Wollaston and Rembrandt Peale. DAR interest in this program resulted in thepresentation of a Queen Anne porringer table to the House by Mrs. Eldred M. Yochim, Virginia StateRegent, NSDAR, 1977-1980, as one of her projects during her administration.

Chateau de Chavaniac

Birthplace of Lafayette

On September 6, 1983 the NSDAR Treaty of Paris tour group honored the birthday of the Marquis de Lafayette at hisbirthplace, Chavaniac. Included in the group were fifteen New Jersey Daughters, the largest contingency from any state.Ceremonies in the garden were attended by dignitaries of the French government, the Lafayette Memorial, Inc., some directdescendants of Lafayette and others.

During the garden ceremonies, Mrs. Arthur James Crabb, Treaty of Paris Chairman of Chinkchewunska Chapter, Newton,New Jersey, presented to the Museum a commemorative bicentennial bottle and a bicentennial history of Lafayette Township inSussex County. This municipality in New Jersey was the first American community to take the name of Lafayette on the occasion ofthe last visit of the General to this country in 1824. The bottle was produced in Clayton, New Jersey, at the Clavenger Bros. GlassWorks. It was hand blown in blue glass with the figure of the Marquis de Lafayette on horseback with his dates "1757-1834"beneath. On the opposite side is shown an early map of the Township of Lafayette with "Bi-Centennial 1976" beneath.

These ceremonies were followed by a guided tour through the 14th century chateau which has been twice rebuilt but whichstill contains the usual thick walls, secret room, and subterranean passages. Lafayette was born in a second floor room of the tower.Many fine mementos of his close association with George Washington are exhibited, such as Washington's duelling pistols, a fineportrait, etc. One of the rooms presents a series of life-size dioramas of the General and Madame Lafayette.

Ordinarily, a visitor to Chavaniac sees only these rooms. The DAR groups enjoyed the privilege of being shown some of theprivate rooms, such as the tower library with a trap door beneath its rug to make possible a hurried escape. Following the program, aluncheon was served to the entire party.

While at Chavaniac, Mrs. Jean Lareuse was asked by the French dignitaries to act as their interpreter. The New Jersey DARTreaty of Paris Tour was sponsored and organized by Princeton Chapter, Princeton, New Jersey. Mrs. Lareuse, a member ofPrinceton Chapter and an associate member of Rochambeau Chapter in Paris, served as tour guide.

The New Jersey State Society and many other patriotic societies commemorated the Signing of the Treaty of Paris with a galabanquet celebration at the Nassau Inn, Princeton, on November 4, 1983. Princeton served as capital of the colonies from June 26,1783 to November 4, 1783, as the Continental Congress was assembled in Nassau Hall, College of New Jersey (now PrincetonUniversity).

UN Treaty About Women

T he "UN Convention (Treaty) on theElimination of All Forms of Discrimi-

nation Against Women" has been ratifiedby 15 Communist countries, but not by theUnited States or Western European coun-tries. This UN Treaty shows the futility oftrying to establish rules and regulations,goals and guidelines, for nations that haveno political, legal, social, economic, orcultural structure or customs in common.American women want to get out of theirkitchens, while an American-style kitchenwould be the fondest dream of women inmost other countries.The UN Treaty starts off with a declara-

tion that governments are "aware that achange in the traditional role of men as wellas the role of women in society and in thefamily is needed to achieve full equalitybetween men and women." But what is the"traditional" role of women?

In Africa, women have traditionally done98% of all the work that is done, while themen devote themselves to hunting, fishing,and fighting. In Russia, women are "tradi-tionally" locked full time, lifetime, into thepaid (and heavy) labor force equally withmen, and also do all the so-called "women'swork" in the home.

Article 5 decrees that governments "shall. . . modify the social and cultural patternsof conduct of men and women, with a viewof achieving the elimination of . . . stereo-typed roles for men and women." "Toeliminate stereotyped roles," in modernAmerican jargon, means to eliminate thetraditional roles of husband-breadwinner,wife-homemaker, and mother-child-care-taker.

Article 10 mischievously attempts todictate textbook content and school curri-culum. It binds the governments to bringabout "the elimination of any stereotypedconcept of the roles of men and women atall levels and in all forms of education . . .by the revision of textbooks and schoolprograms and the adaption (sic) of teachingmethods."

Article 11 orders governments "to encour-age the provision of the necessary support-ing social services to enable parents tocombine family obligations with work respon-sibilities and participation in public life, inparticular through promoting the establish-ment and development of a network ofchild-care facilities."

These child-care facilities have no relationto whether the child or his parents arefinancially needy, but are designed to makesure that all parents are in the labor force.Indeed, the first sentence of this articleestablishes "the right to work as an inalien-able right of all human beings."

In America the phrase "the right towork" has come to mean the right to hold

your job without joining a labor union. It isunlikely that the UN Treaty means that. Itmore likely means the Communist-styleobligation of all males and females to workfull time, lifetime, in the paid labor force(except for several months of maternityleave).For implementation, Article 17 sets up a

Committee on the Elimination of Discrimi-nation Against Women consisting of 23"experts." There is no guarantee that theEnglish-speaking democracies will haveeven one representative on the Committee.At the present time, only one of the 23experts is from a Western democracy, while10 are from Communist countries, includingboth Russia and China.

It is difficult to understand why anyWestern democracy would put itself in thenoose of having its laws pertaining towomen and the family supervised or re-viewed by Communist "experts." In Com-munist China, a woman is permitted onlyone child; after the live birth of the firstchild, she faces compulsory abortion orsterilization.Some may assume that the treaty power

extends only to governments and not toindividuals. Article 2, however, binds thegovernments "to eliminate discriminationagainst women by any person, organizationor enterprise." The Treaty would mean bigUN Brother looking over the shoulder ofindividual persons and inquiring into theirmotives.

The UN Treaty is probably the originatorof the deceptive practice of clothing socialistand pacifist goals in the mantle of "women'srights." The Treaty asserts that "nucleardisarmament" and the "new internationaleconomic order" will promote "full equalitybetween men and women" although thereisn't a shred of evidence that either hasanything to do with ending discriminationagainst women.

Nuclear disarmament is code languagefor accepting a world in which the superiorSoviet missile force is the preeminent power."New international economic order" is acode phrase for using the UN and otherinternational organizations to steal the fruitsof the American private enterprise system(technology and capital) and transfer themto totalitarian rulers who have no intentionof giving wealth or freedom to their sub-jects.

Dear Daughters:January 14th marks the bicentennial of the United

States ratification of the Treaty of Paris. The Treatywas ratified by the U. S. in the Maryland StateHouse located in Annapolis. It was in this sameState House that General George Washington re-signed his commission before the Continental Con-gress on December 23, 1783.The Maryland State House, built between 1772-

1779, is the oldest State House in the nation still inlegislative use.One of the objects on the lawn leading to the

State House's main entrance is a cannon broughtfrom England by Maryland's first settlers on March25, 1634. The tablet marking the cannon wasplaced by The Peggy Stewart Tea Party Chapter onMarch 25, 1908.This is the first issue of a new year. Keep sending
