Corporate fascism: Building empire by big business

________

In the Service of Empire . . .

The ink was barely dry on the U.S. Senate’s ratification of the United Nations Participation Act of 1945 when the first UN conference on Trade and Development was scheduled. 

Background 

The negotiations for the UN's financial system began in the early 1940s at Bretton Woods, CT. Agreements were reached on the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (World Bank) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The third leg of the international system was to be an International Trade Organization (ITO). UN Conferences on international organization of trade were held between 1946 and 1948.

The final agreement to establish the International Trade Organization (ITO) was completed in Havana, Cuba early in 1948. The charter they produced was nicknamed the Havana Charter.

Final Act of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Employment 

The Economic and Social Council of the United Nations, by a resolution dated February 18, 1946, resolved to call an International Conference on Trade and Employment for the purpose of promoting the expansion of the production, exchange and consumption of goods.

The Conference, which met at Havana on November 21, 1947, and ended on March 24, 1948, drew up the Havana Charter for an International Trade Organization to be submitted to the Governments represented.
President Harry Truman transmitted the Charter to the U.S. Senate on April 28, 1949 with a Special Message. The U.S. Senate did not ratify the Havana Charter because of concerns for U.S. sovereignty.

Notice on page 7 of the Havana Charter – the name Eric Wyndham White:
The following is an extract of the biography of Sir Eric Wyndham White's posted on the Institute for Management Research, Radboud University, Netherlands (which appears to be a great resource).

Emphasis added –
His political leanings seem to have been progressive as he subsequently joined the Reform Club (1940-1980). While a student, he was a member of the British delegation that attended the 1937 congress of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), at which business leaders gathered to promote world peace through economic interdependence. In 1937 the ICC met in Berlin, a time when the worst effects of the Great Depression were lifting, but relations amongst states were toxic. Adolf Hitler welcomed the business representatives at the opening meeting and praised their efforts to use trade to bring peace to Europe. Despite such a cynical endorsement, Wyndham White believed that liberal international trade was essential to a prosperous and peaceful world. He attended another meeting of the ICC in Copenhagen in 1939.

. . . At the end of the (Havana) conference, part of the draft charter that dealt with tariff negotiations and some general trade rules were bundled with the results of tariff negotiations and introduced as a temporary agreement. It went by the name General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and, over the course of the next year, it was taken up by 23 countries.

The almost passing reference to White's attendance at the conferences of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) belies the significance of that connection. The Havana Charter and the path of White's career in international trade tells the story.

The founding of the ICC was published (1938) in a book titled, Merchants of Peace: Twenty Years of Business Diplomacy through the International Chamber of Commerce (1919-1938), copyright by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Thomas J. Watson, CEO of IBM became President of the ICC in 1937.

The International Chamber of Commerce is a cartel of corporations that serve the interests of the cartel membership. Despite marketing propaganda to the contrary, the interest of the cartel membership is simply money and the power to keep making money.
"In 1942, Morris Gomberg published a "Moral Map" of the plan for world reconstruction. The map corresponds to Lord Lothian's description.

Lord Lothian 
Anarchy Defined as Nation-State Organization 

On Sunday November 27,1938 The London Observer covered a speech by Lord Lothian, the wartime British Ambassador to the United States. Lord Lothian is a title. The Lord's given name is Philip Kerr. The speech was titled "Wings Over History, A New Civilization." In his speech he stated…. "the anarchy of multitudinous national sovereignties is about to dissolve . . . the world is going to fall into four or five main political and economic groups, each in great measure self-supporting, each under the leadership of a great State equipped with modern military and air power . . ."

A biography of Philip Kerr aka Lord Lothian was found in the Journal of Liberal History. The author wrote:
"He was beginning to move toward world federalism, which might start with the British Empire and the United States: ‘The cure for war is not to weaken the principle of the state, but to carry it to its logical conclusion, by the creation of a world state."

Organization of the American States 

The Organization of American States is obviously one of the "four or five political or economic groups" called for by Lord Lothian designed to eliminate "the anarchy of nation-state organization".

On January 13, 1949 – Truman sent a Special Message to the Senate concerning ratification of the Charter of the Organization of American States. The text of the original Charter of the Organization of American States was found on the website of the Naval War College.
[June 16, 1951 President Truman's statement upon Senate ratification of the Charter of the OAS]

"IT HAS BEEN very gratifying to me to sign the instrument of ratification of the Charter of the Organization of American States. This charter, drawn up and signed for the 21 American Republics by their representatives at the Bogota Conference in 1948, provides the constitutional basis for Western Hemisphere unity, through consultation and joint action, within the framework of the United Nations."
January 17, 1949 – Reorganization of the Administrative government

Point Four – State Department's
Plan for Coup d'etat 

On June 24, 1949, Truman sent another special message to Congress. This message recommended the Point Four legislation that called for programs to begin building the world economy beginning with assistance to undeveloped countries (International Technical Cooperation).

Report to Congress: Point Four giving background and program "prepared for the use of the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives by the Legislative Reference Service, Library of Congress, largely from materials supplied by the Department of State" July 1949:
