This is Stanley Graze's testimony before the United States Senate Subcommittee on Internal Security, also known as the McCarran Committee:
Senator Ferguson: Did you ever know whether or not a loyalty charge had been filed against you?
Graze: I decline to answer that question on the grounds of the privilege of the 5th Amendment.
Morris: Are you presently engaged in espionage against the U.S.?
Graze: I decline to answer on the grounds of the 5th Amendment.
Morris: Have you ever in the past engaged in espionage against the U.S.
Graze: I decline to answer on the same grounds.
Morris: In the event of a war between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, would you support the position of the U.S.?
Graze: I would defend the U.S. against any attacker or aggressor.
Morris: You used the word "aggressor."
Graze: I was about to say that I could not conceive of a war at the present time between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, and as far as I am concerned I believe that such a war would be the worst catastrophe that could occur.
Senator O'Connor: Suppose it would come?
Graze: I would defend the U.S.
Senator Smith: If you cannot conceive a war, you think that all efforts we are making towards building up our defenses are of no consequence, and ought not be done?
Graze: I don't believe that rearmament programs ever solved the problems of war.
Smith: You don't think we ought to have rearmament?
Graze: I don't believe rearmament is the answer. I believe the UN is the answer. I believe that the answer is that the armament commission of the UN should solve the problem.
After World War II came to end and Graze returned to the US, he turned again to his profession as an economist. During his time at the United Nations, Graze was the Executive Secretary of the Railways Operation Study Unit [2]
Graze was the senior executive for various Wall Street firms. He was the CEO of Technoscan Inc. [3]
