THE FORD FOUNDATION
After examining the lavishly funded network of pseudorightwing
foundations, it is almost a relief to go back to
the forthright Marxist bias of the foundation movement,
as exemplified by the Ford Foundation. The Special
Committee to Investigate Tax Exempt Foundation
reported in 1954:
"The Ford Foundation affords a good example of the use of a foundation to
solve the death tax problem, and, at the same time, the problem of how to
retain control of a great enterprise in the hands of a family. Ninety per cent of
the ownership of the Ford Motor Co. was transferred to the Ford Foundation,
created for the purpose. Had it not been it was almost certain that the family
would have lost control."
The Ford family paid a terrible price to save the
company. To prevent it from being split up, they had to
turn it over to the most leftwing elements in the U.S.
Norman Dodd states that while investigating tax exempt
foundations, he interviewed H. Rowan Gaither, president
of the Ford Foundation. Gaither complained about the
"bad press" the Ford Foundation was receiving, and
explained to Dodd:
"Most of us here were, at one time or another, active in either the OSS or the
State Dept., or the European Economic Administration. During those times,
and without exception, we operated under directives issued by the White
House, the substance of which was to the effect that we should make every
effort to alter life in the U.S. as to make possible a comfortable merger with
the Soviet Union."
This is still the goal of the foundation movement.
