Sixty years ago, under the joint initiative and founding sponsorship of the following
three state leaders: President Chiang Kai-shek of the Republic of China, President
Syngman Rhee of the Republic of Korea, and President Elpidio Quirino of the Republic
of the Philippines, the “Asian Peoples’ Anti-Communist League, APACL” was
established with the mission and goal to stop the fast expansion of the communist forces
in Asia. After 12 years of advocating anti-communism, the APACL had rapidly developed
in full-fledged manner from Asia to the whole world until it actually became a worldwide
organization, the “World Anti-Communist League, WACL” in 1967. However, due to the
fall and collapse of major communist forces, the WACL was renamed as the “World
League for Freedom and Democracy, WLFD” in 1991 in order to strive for recruiting
more people to join the fight for freedom and democracy.
　　
　　Based on the profound documents of the APACL and the WLFD, this book is simply
aiming to loyally record the historic truth of their anti-communist movements and their
pursuit of freedom and democracy. With systematic arrangement of the contents, it clearly
reveals the history of those people who worked hard to fight against tyranny in order to
pursue freedom and democracy. As a member of UN NGOs, the WLFD not only
advocates the track II diplomacy without distinction as to political affiliation under the
guidelines of the national policy, but also actively promote the development of freedom
and democracy around the world. It is the common asset for all people. Hopefully the
publication of this book could let more young people of the new generation appreciate the
precious value of freedom and even further cooperate actively with the WLFD to protect
the human rights and promote the development of freedom and democracy around the
world.

The Republic of China Chapter of the WLFD
　　The Republic of China Chapter of the WLFD is one of the
three founding members of the WLFD/APLFD. It is also a
member that has rendered great and valuable support to the
League. It comprises more than two hundred organizations from
all walks of society in the Republic of China (Taiwan), such as
national political organizations, local legislatures, academic
associations, cultural societies, religious groups, agricultural
unions, labor unions, businessmen unions, youth groups,
women’s unions, overseas groups, and so forth. Since the
establishment of the WACL/APACL, the Republic of China
Chapter has been a major moving force to provide the League
with a boost to help make important policy recommendations,
to help convene annual general conferences, and to help arrange
all kinds of activities. The current incumbent president is Hon.
Yao Eng-chi, who is also the president of WLFD.
　　In June, 1954, under the joint initiative and founding
sponsorship of the following three state leaders: President
Chiang Kai-shek of the Republic of China, President Syngman
Rhee of the Republic of Korea, and President Elpidio Quirino of
the Republic of the Philippines, the “Asian Peoples’
Anti-Communist League, APACL” was established in Jinhae,
South Korea. In July of the same year, the Republic of China
Chapter was established accordingly in Taiwan to fully support
the League. As the League grew bigger and stronger, it had
developed into the “World Anti-Communist League, WACL” in
1967. However, due to the fall of the communist forces, the 22nd
general conference of the WACL in 1990 passed a resolution
that, for the purpose of recruiting more
freedom-loving people to join the League, the WACL should be
renamed as the “World League for Freedom and Democracy,
WLFD”, which would take effect on January 1, 1991. Now the
World League owns more than 130 chapters around the world,
of course, the Republic of China Chapter is included.
The Missions and Directions for Future Development are:
To keep the body of WLFD healthy and strong and to
strengthen the relations among member chapters in order to
be united together in a joint effort to fight for freedom and
democracy for all mankind.
To seek and build any connections and engagements with
people and organizations of former communist countries to
advocate freedom and democracy.
To actively participate in activities of the UN NGOs to
support the UN purpose of maintaining international peace
and security.
To strengthen propaganda work to advocate the cause of
freedom and democracy.

Chapter 3 Building A Worldwide Anti-Communist Platform

With the establishment of the Asian People’s Ant-Communist
League (APACL, now known as the Asian Pacific League for Freedom
and Democracy) in June, 1954, the chief of Republic of China
delegates was nominated as the chairman of APACL with nation’s
history of anti-communism, embarking officially on confrontation
with the communist bloc and sparking Dr. Ku Cheng-kang political
aspirations.

The 1st WACL General Conference

Historical Background

The communist-led campaign had been jeopardizing people’s
lives for more than a century—from the inception of Communist
International in 1864 to the chaotic 20th century —as of the 1st
WACL General Conference. On the 50th anniversary of the Bolshevik,
a political uprising that usurped the Russian state power in
1917 as a result of the October Revolution and created the Soviet
Russia, leaders from some 76 countries and regions gathered and
brainstormed on anti-communist strategies, leading to the advent of
a new historical landmark and significance.
