McCloy, John Jay

(Mar 31, 1895 – Mar 11. 1989) The New York Times obituary stated “Between times and often concurrently, he was board chairman of the Ford Foundation, chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations (1954-70) and board chairman of a dozen or so other entities, including the Salk Institute and of E. R. Squibb & Sons. As a lawyer, he represented scores of corporate clients, including 23 oil companies dealing with the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. Mr. McCloy was chairman of so many boards and had his hands in so many ventures that the political writer Richard Rovere once proposed that he was the informal chairman of the Establishment, a group that ‘fixes major goals and constitutes itself a ready pool of manpower for the more exacting labors of leadership.'”

McCloy was heavily involved in the US government program of interning Japanese-Americans in World War II. Defending that policy in 1981 before a Congressional commission, he claimed that it was “reasonably undertaken and thoughtfully and humanely conducted”, although history disagreed and in 1988 the US Congress paid compensation to those internees who were still alive.

McCloy once stated “I had the powers of a dictator as High Commissioner of Allied Forces in West Germany, but I think I was a benevolent dictator“.

In 1947, Klaus Barbie was recruited as an agent for the 66th Detachment of the U.S. Army Counter Intelligence Corps (CIC). When the French discovered that Klaus Barbie was in U.S. hands, having sentenced him to death in absentia for war crimes, they requested McCloy, U.S. High Commissioner for Germany, hand him over for execution, but McCloy refused. Instead, the CIC helped him flee to Bolivia with the help of a “ratline” organized by U.S. intelligence services and the Croatian Roman Catholic priest Krunoslav Draganović.

McCloy was also a member of the Warren Commission where he worked to prevent the truth coming out as regards the assassination of JFK.
