"Under FDR's lead we went socialist, and almost whent communist. Where else would we go with Alger Hiss (assistent Sec of State), Dean Acheson, Harry Dexter White (assistant secretary of the Treasury), and Lauchlin Currie, all trusted members of FDR's administration, and all Communists. Acheson was never proven a party member, but he certainly was in all the right places at all the right times, with all the wrong people."

You forgot to mention his wife, Eleanor Roosevelt. Wasn't she involved with the Socialist Party and the International Workers of the World?

By the way, a little off topic, but didn't Alger Hiss found the U.N.?

He was a key member of the US delegation when the charter was written.

From "The Fearful Master"

"In 1950 the State Department issued a volume entitled 'Postwar Foreign Policy Preparationm 1939-45.' It described in detail the policies and documents leading up to the creation of the United Nations and named all the men who shaped these policies. This and other records reveal that the following men were key government figures in UN planning within the U. S. State Department and Treasury Department: Alger Hiss, Harry Dexter White, Virginius Frank Coe, Dean Acheson, Noel Field, Laurence Duggan, Henry Julian Wadleigh, John Carter Vincent, David Weintraub, Nathan Gregory Silvermaster, Harold Glasser, Victor Perlo, Irving Kaplan, Solomon Adler, Abraham George Silverman, William L. Ullman, and William H. Taylor. With the single exception of Dean Acheson, all these men have since been identified in sworn testimony as secret Communist agents."
