th t he did not consider Communism in Chine any p;rtieu1er menace to the
United States end that the United Stntes did net do the right thing many
I130y0G!S
Hrs. LATTIHORE informed Hrs» WILLIAMS that she thought the State
Department feels that since V-J Day, this country has sunk three or four
billion dollars into Thine end that the more this eeuntry hes tried, the
worse things have gotten; that while the situation is nn awful mess and very
tragic for Chine, that there is not at the moment very much "we" can do.
She stated that it is the policy of the State Department to wait at least a
little while ta see whet hajpens; that many of them feel very strongly that
Chinese Conmunis: is J33 at the moment being run or master-minded
by Russia; that the Yessiens may try to take ever but that it would be an
awfully big job sine: there are twice as many people in Chine es in Russia
and that the Chinese are very, vary nationalistic.
Hrs. LATTIKORE commented further that General BARR, heed of the American
Military Hissien in Chine, returned to this ewuntry recently Ad made the
s*;tement that 90$ of the supplies that the United States gave to the Entien

In setting forth her views, Mrs; lLTTIHORE said:
"I think our policy is to try to find. W355 to give economic aid
in dealing with the people, hoping that the government that comes
out that if we handle the thing wisely, they will at least be
somewhat friendly to us and open to the Jest more than it is to
Russia."
She indicated that just hen to do this is the problem.
.rs.*TILLIhMS made the comment that SEVERILD singly said, "Don't do
an}thing and let time decide what policy we snnuld adept." She stated that
some people agree that Russia has practically failed in what she wanted to
do in Europe end, therefore, she will be ready to take up what she wishes to
do in India, Japan and China.
hrs. LLTTIHOREs reply was to the effect that Russia has gotten
absolutely nowhere in India and expressed the view that if Russia had failed
in these little countries in Europe, which are ver; small, compact and homeh
geneus, they could not possibly take on China. She concluded with tho state-
ment that China is one hundred tines more difficult te take over than eastern
European countries.
T-ll en Kay 23, l9é9, advised that semo unknawn woman extended e din-
ner invitation to the LAFTIIORES for the following Saturday night. This

_It is observed that still others have expressed the viov that at least some of
LA51IMCRE's writings constitute a basis for the belief that said writings are
subtle Russian propaganda. Other persons, who are prominent and nationally
knrvn, and who have known LATTIMORE for many years, claim he is not a Communist
or a fellow traveler but at the same time state they are aware of the fact
he has been branded as such and attribute some of the suspicion surrounding
LATTIMORE to his positive stand that reforms are needed in China and other Far
East countries, his views that the United States should in no manner furnish
aid to the CHIANG KAISHEK Government and also because he has been careless in
choosing some of his associates.
It is noted further that LATTIMDRE has in the past identified himself
with Communist front groups, has associated with known Comunists as well as
with persons suspected of being engaged in espionage activities. He was in-
volved to some extent in the PHILIP JAFFE investigation and was a known contact
of several subjects in the Gregory'cese.
It is noted dur months, March to July,
1949 41-.¢
purpose s contact with
he stayed overnight at the BARNES homo in New York, is unknown although
it is known that LATTIMORE on this occasion was enroute to Bethel, Vermont,
where he is spending the sumer months. BAHEES in some manner, according to
a statement by LATTIMORE, was instrumental to some extent in assisting LATTIMURE
Ebtain a $75,000 grant from the Carnegie Corporation for the operation of his
Mongol Project. 57¢
As far as can be determined, LATTIMORE was last in personal contact
with RICHARD LAUTERBACH the latter part of March, 1949. On this occasion,
LAJTIMORE saw him in New York City and thereafter the two of them fulfilled
a speaking engagement before the Adult Education League on the Far East at
Springfield, Massachusetts.
It will be noted also_from information set out in this report con~
corning LATTIMDR3's activities during the past several months, that LATTIHOEE
is -xtremely active and is contacted, or has been contacted, by numerous par-
sons. Some of these contacts have not yet been identified. On the other
hand, it is known that some of the persons with whom he has had infrequent
contact are either suspected of espionage activities or are identified with
Q umunist front groups. LATTIMOHEs activities between April and July, 1949,
3- been closely observed by Tll but to date no tangible evidence of LATTI-
iim being involved in espionage or Communist activity has been discovered.

"The N Iork "Journal American" for February 26, 1%? containedan article by : m, which stated that am: mrm-zoos, Special Economic
- Adviser in Tokyo, . te in his book, "Solution in Asia," the following:
The Soviet Union stands for strategic security, economic prosperity,
technological progress, miraculous medicine, free education, equality of _
opportunity and democracy."
An examination of the book, "Solution in Asia," written by the sub-
jc:-t and published by the LI'IlIE, BP. l'fN and C0l.IPANl' in 1945, reveals on Page 139
that the full quotation is as follows: i
"To all these peoples meaning the Chinese, Koreans and Mongolians!,
the Russians and the Soviet Union have a great power of attraction. In their
eyes -- rather doubtilly in the eyes of tho older generation, more and more _.
clearly in the eyes of the younger generation the Soviet Union stands for
strategic security, economic prosperity, technological progress, miraculous '
medicine, free education, equality oi opportunity and democracy: a powerful
combination -92
"Tho fact that the Soviet Union also stands for democracy is not
to be overlooked. It stands for democracy because it stands for all the
other things...... The fact is that for most people in the world today,
what constitutes democracy in theory is more or less irrelevant. "Jhat moves
people to act to try to line up with one party or country and not with another
is the difference between what is more riemcuracy and less demar: racy in practice."

The "New York Times", Book Review Section, Sumday, April 10, 1949, _
revealed a eview of the subject's book "The Situation in Asia". In thisreview, STU:§¥92LILLICO, the reviewer of the "Baltimore Tvening Sun , states i
that it is doubtful whether the United States has another man so well informed
on northeastern Asia as ORE; IATTIHOEL. The reviewer states that scores of
students of the Far East are indebted to Mr. LATTIHOKE for their knowledge,
their theories and their sympathies. The reviewer continues tht LATTIHGRE
sees the possibility of Communist control in many Asiatic Governments, but, less danger of Soviet domination. "Few Asiatics see a Russian threat to their
freedom and livelihood} states LATTIHOHT.
"The inclination", LATTIMURT asserts, "to call Marxism aggressive
and the increasing tendency to take the weight of democratic aid away from
. urope and America and give it to Russia and Marxism are among the hard facts
of the Asia of today."
The reviewer states that many who read "The Situation in Asia"
will feel tkat Mr. IATTIHORE is backing the Soviet lino. However, the reviewer
disagrees and states that LATTIHORE has tried to be objective and has painted
the picture as he sets it. However, often LATTIMOR" seems to feel that
Russian policy in Asia is sounder, more astute and/or more progressive than
by the United States. _ that adopted

of Industry, and Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Each of these three ministries
had a smell group to handle the export of armamentst
It was decided by the Politboro about the end of 1933 to combine
the functions of these three ministries in one organization and place thm

This Informant said th;Q%:EFGDLZ, the Commissar of Foreign Trade,
told him that upon the recommendatio f the Soviet Army, he had been
appointed president of Auto-Mote-Export. This Informant related that one

of the General Staff with the Informant from 1920 to 1994. Informant
over a period of months discussed with Genera]. BERZIN and HALIKOV the
Chinese situation as it effected Auto-Mote-Hport. Sometime in 1935,
General BERZIN had a conversation with this Informant, at which time
BEHZIN asked him what his plans were to sell trucks and also open "branches
from Manchuria to Southern China. BERZIN was interested in this because
he needed a legal cover for his espionage agents and he tented this
Informant to open up branches throughout China and make available to BERZIN
the facilities of Auto-'.IotoExport. This Infomant told him that it
would be quite complicated and he asked BERZIN if he had any other
facilities. Infomant recalls that BERZIN then told him not to worry,
as "We have the organization there already, We have for our people anorganization which provides an ideal place for gum network". This
Informant does not recall whether BE-RZIN aid t at the Russians organized
it or developed it, but BERZIH said the organization was called ",Ilh_e
Institute of Pacific Relations" and it was the "basis for our network inChina". ' V I 'Q. ' The ole met

Russian Intelligence, which usually consisted of foreigners, , -

,92! BERZIN asked this Informant if he was going to China at that
92/ time as this Infonnant had a contract with the FORD some comm for
~ trucks to be delivered to Mongolia. At that time BERZIN mentioned the
fact to this Infonmant that the two most promising and most brilliant young
men that the Soviet Military Intelligence had in the Institute of Pacific
Relations in China were OWEN LATTIMORE andJOSEPH'BARNES. .This Informant
believed that the reason HEREIN told his thieTe5nEer§ing'LATTIMQRE and
BARNES was that he wished to place him in contact with them in the event
he went to China. This Informant said that he did not go to China, and so
he had no further contact with tlb lnstitntpmof_Eagific Relations or

shaken in his faith in Russia. He does not recall having discussed the Rssian
attack on Finland with LATTIHORE, but states that at a later date when he
charged LATTEi0RS with being pro-Soviet, LATTIMORE cited the fact that he had
denounced Russian aggression a;ainst Finland and had made some public pronounce-
ment or put himself on record in some way in this regard. Informant was unable-
to give any information as to the possible location of such s statement on '
public record.
Infonnant continued that after the invasion of Russia by the
German Army in 1941, whatever doubts LATIIMORE had were apgarently dissipated
and he again adopted a consistent pro-Soviet attitude. Informant described
. the period in HussoAmerican relations following the Russian entry into the
war as "a honeymoon }¬1i0d and felt that it was undoubtedly due to this that
LATTIMOHE was recommended to the Chinese Nationalist Government by the American
Government to act as personal adviser to CHIANG KAI-SEEK; Subsequently he
became head of the Far East Division of the Office of Whr I ormation at SanFraicisco and in 1944 acconpanied foxmer Vice kresident HEN;§5QQlLACE on a trip
to Russia, Siberia and Mongolia. i
Infonnant stated that he hr-.d heard from an official who replaced
as head of Gil at Jan Francisco that LATIIMQRE had "loaded" the staff
San Francisco with Communist synpathizers and that there had been a
of difficulty weeding them out-
UrAccording tolinformant, when LATTEiOHE returned from his trip
to Russia and Mongolia with HENRI BAILLCE, his attitude had stiffened to the
extent that he would suffer no criticism of Soviet policies and broke off his
personal relationship with the infonnant because the informant had a decided
anti-Soviet feeling. He recalled that shortly after his return from the WALLACE
trip, LATfINOR3 gave a lecture at Columbia University on conditions in Japan
in which he adopted the Uommunist line that the United States Ind no zeal
iniorest in Japan from an economic or military viewpoint and should get out
as soon as possible. It was about this time that informant, in a conversation
with I.f{ii..1L;-E-L, strozijly attacked 'sd.:rt he _co::sidered to be the consist-gut
Communist vicvpoint of £gg;ij§n§g§b former editor of "The Cohpass", at which

The informant stated that his acquaintance with LATTIMORE wasB118 , a quarter y magazine
superficial, and hefeels positive that at that time LATTIMORE was not a
Comunist but was "completely naive politically". He stated that LATTIMORE
at that time was interested solely in Mongolian research not in practical
politics of any kind. As an instance of LATTIMORE's naivete, he recalled that
IATTIMORE editor " ' " 'of Pacific Affairs i air-oved ior i iiicript
of bo a ona ist overnment and the Chinese -
. After the publication of this article, in the Fall of 1935, the
magazine "Pacific Affairs" was banned by both the Chinese Nationalist Govern-
ment and the Russian Government and a great deal of consternation was caused
among IPR officials. The informant stated that LATTIMORE had apparently been
blind to the political implications of the article, and this proved to him
that LATTIMORE was not first in, and took no interest in, political philo-
sophies. V . 92"1 :9

The informant stated that his personal opinion is that LATTIMORE
has become increasingly political-minded since their first acquaintance and
is an opportunist. The informant felt that IAETIMORE was prone to borrow
ideas from various quarters and stated that a close reading of LATTIMOREs
published works would reveal a bewildering variety of opinions,nnny of them
mutually irreconcilable.
The informant stated that from his knowledge and observation
of LATTIMORE, he would consider it most unlikely that he would act as an
espionage agent or a paid propagandist of the Soviet Government. He stated
that he based this opinion on his knowledge of LATTIMORE's published writings
and subsequent career.

Since LATTIMOHE's return to the ni ed States around 1934 when LATTIMORE be
came connected with the Institute of Pacific Relations, the Informant has not
had any contact with mrrmoss. 92,_-,1 p _
The Informant explained LATTIMORE was born in the United Statesn
and at about four years of age was taken to China, where his father was a
doctor missionary who worked in the northwestern part of China. H6 Said
LATTIMORE spoke Chinese more fluently than most natives and also included in
s his command of foreign languages neighboring dialects of northwestern China.
The Informant stated further that when he met LATTIMORE, LATTIMORE
was connected with a commercial house in Tientsin, China, and was engaged in
trading in furs, hides, and wool. Later, according to ormant, LATTIMOEEdrifted away from this business and became attached to $%§#§§e;§h,§hing_§§arP
and other publications in China. It was during this period, around the middle
twenties, that LATTIMORE made several trips through northwestern China, in-
cluding Mongolia and Informant recalled that there was comment by persons who
knew him in China indicating that it was remarkable that LATTIMCRE was able to
finance such trips, which were very expensive. It was ruored at the time that
he was being financed by publications for which he was writing although the
amount spent seemed to he out of line with the funds that were generally
allocated by publications-
Informant continued that LATTIMDRE was also engaged in free lance
work in northwestern China and it was during these trips that he wrote articles
concerning the country, the articles being illustrated by photographs which
LATTIMORE's wife took-
The Informant further stated that around 1933 or 1934 LATTIHORE
returned to the United States and in looking for a job he was employed byFREDERICK VANDEEBILT§El§iD, who was then the dominating factor in the Institute
of Pacific Relations» TTIEORE, according to the Informant, continued with the'
Institute of Pacific Relations until 1941, when he secured the position as ad-
viser to CHEANG KAI-SEEK. According to the Informant, who was advised by Mme.
CHIANG, the appointment of LATTIMORE was forced on CHEANG by President ROOSEVELT,
' Continuing, the Informant said that Mme. CHEANG had advised him that LATTIMORE
was antagonistic to GHIANG KAI-SHEK. e

The Informant further advised that LATT11-EOBE subsequently re-
turned to the United States to be employed by the Office of War Information.
This Informant further advised that he did not believe that
1 LATTIMORE w a the Communist Party. He said that LATTJJJORE, when
- he knew him , was a believer in the resurgence of Russia
E as a world power e uing of colonial peoples. The Informant
i went on to explain that L.l92.Tll392EOBE, having been raised in northwestern China,
: _ considered that part of the world to be his nation in the same way that an
immigrant to the United States from a foreign country feels a sympathy for
his native land. Informant went on to explain that northwest China had been
persecuted by the Chinese people and had looked to Russia, even before the
Communist revolution, for protection. Informant said that LATTIMORE had a
* hese 0 1 and t conism toward the "Chinese persecutors." -
LATT]1'IORE felt that his soul belonged
in n a par o e wor an m nt compared him to a religious, who with
the same feelings would be sent to that part of the world to do his work.
Informant said that he believed that this attitude of LATTI92EORE's had oolored
all his writings, that an analysis of it would show that LATTILECRE believed
in the inevitability of Russian domination of the world and it was therefore
better that the United States make some agreement with Russia while therewas still time.!
The Informant advised that he did not know the origin of the
relationship between EEEFt_IQK_VAN'DERBILT FIELD and OFTEN LATTD-AORE. The In-
CK W.NDE[-IBILT FIELDwas a Marxist and attach o e rincip es of

LOUIS F. BUDE§§,_Assistant Professor at Fordham University, New
York City, and Toroerlianaging editor of the "Daily Worker", an East Coast
Communist newscaner, until October, l9d5, was interviewed st his home onI-larch 2'2 and Anril 3 and 4, 19:50 by sA b-1 C
Concerning UWEH LATTIKCRE. BUDEHZ stated that he had never met
LATTIHORE nor did he recall ever seeing him. He added, however, that he had
heard about LATTIHORE many times during his, BUHEhZS,mahy years in the
Communist Party. He had heard about LATTIMORE principally through reports
by F3EQERICK_YANDE2BILT FIELD to the Political Committee of the ComunistParty. BUDBHZ recalled that others had made reports abougigw LATTIMORE,
but he could not recall these individuals other than HARE, ?dEHES who made atleast one report about OWEN LATTIMSRE. BUDEHZ stated thatthe reports which
he heard were given probably during the period from 1940 until l9d4. At these
Political Committee meetings wherein the reports were given, there were .
present a number of individuals wh were ranking Communist Party memberswhom BUDENZ92Q3;:ot recall. E§tggtZrecall, however, that at some of the
meetings EARL °OWDER and JAG ACEEL were present. He recalls that
BRUWDER and STACHEL Participated in.the discussions which came about as e
result of FIELD'S reports on the work of LATTIHORE.
The reports of FIELD to the Political Committee concerned the
work of LATTIMURE who was the individual who had been given the assignment
by the Part; to sell the idea that the Chinese Communist Movement was inreality the§Q§rarien_Beform Movement. In his reports, ?IELD referred to
LATTIIZOHE in 'uch'a way that there was no question in surlnws mind that
LATTIMOPE was a C0mmHnist- He does not recall FIELD saying that LATTIMOBE '
was a member of the Communist Party, but he does remember that FIELD and
STACHEL and BROWDER all referred to LATTIKORE as a Comrade or a Communist,
and it was apparent to BUDEHZ that they all kneu'that LATTIMORE was a
Communist. BUDENZ stated that he first heard about publicizing the idea
that the Chinese Communist Movement
Movement in 1937, and he understood
EARL BROWUER. He added that it was
to sell this idea to the public didwas in reality the Agrarian Reform
that this idea originally came from
his recollection that the actual campaign
not go into effect for a number of years
after 193?.
BUDEHZ recalled that on at least a few occasions FREDERICK VAHDERBILT
FIELD in reporting to the Political Committee on the activities of LATTIKORE
had stated that he had some differences with LATTIHORE concerning policy.
FIELD stated that these dif erehces were the some differences that the Partyhad with EBSQECLD and ABRAHALY LAXER. BUDEHZ stated that BEN GOLD and. _9292

small managing f5rce cohsisting of PsILI1_=;J;u:se and Kh4Jmcs~eI.L, both of
whom were Comunists. BUDENZ pointed out that it would be quite difficult
for a person to work with JAFFE and KATE HETCHELL at "Amerasia" without
knowing that they were Cows ists and a this was a Communist publication.He pointed out that ANDRE§}¬gTH and MARA AIR, both Communists, were also
active in contributing to "Amerasia."

heard JOHN S.i VICE referred to as being OWEN LATTIMOHE'S pupil. He never
heard SERVICE mentioned as being a Communist, but he certainly felt that
SERVICE was under the influence of LATTIMORE at least up until 1944.
In regard to the Institute of Pacific Relations, BUDENZ recalled
that in the late 1930's the offices of the Institute of Eaci£ip_Relstions

On April 4, 1950, ALFRED KOHLBERG west 7th Stre s, New 'York C was in rviewed by Special"Agents an<_
92:f?Cl- 1 _
Mr, KQIALBELH} advised that in 1943 he was chairman of the 7
Executive Committee of the Board or Directors of the American Bureau for Medical-
Aid to China and as such he made a trip to China to investigate the financing of
the work or the Committee, On this trip Mr. KOHLBERG said he received information
to the effect that the United States Lend Lease war materials were not being used-
by the Chinese Nationalists, but were being stored by them for use against the-P
Chinese Communists after the termination of the war with Japan-
Hre KOHIBERG stated that this rumor was the basis for an in-
dependent investigetion by him, which resulted in his questioning BrigadierCenerghhs, who was a member of General STILL92'IELL's staff in China and in ' -
charge 0 a Chinese infantry training school for Cen_era__1__§[IILLF;'EIL. Hr. _
KOHLBERG questioned General ARMS concerning this rmol-and the General told him r
that as of that time the United States Government had not supplied any armament
to the Chinese Nationalist Army, but that they were trying to supply the in-
fantry and artillery schools first with materials-
When Mr. KOHLBERG returned to the United States he learned that
the Institute of_Pae_i§i<_:,_Re1ations was "putting out" this same false propaganda
about the hoarding of armaments by the Chinese Nationalists» C
Mr. KOHLBEHG stated that in 1944 he analyzed the publications oi
the Institute of Pacific Relations for the prior seven years and he also read
"New Masses" for the same seven year period. Mr. KOHIBEEB said he found the same
"switches" in the line relating to material andpolitical matters-
By way of illustration, he said that in 1935 the Communists
adopted the United Front Policy Toward China and from 193'? to 1939 they adopted
a Trojan Horse Policy and gave a favorable picture of CHIANG KAI-SHEK. After the
Soviet Nazi attack the Institute of Pacific Relations and the Corrmunist Press were
hostile to CHIANG KAI-SEEK, but after the invasion of Russia by Germany in June,
1941, they were most praiseworthy of CHIANG KAI-£I{EK.

"Dear Joe:
"In your capacity as e member of our Personnel Security Cgnmittee _
are certain things uhich you ought to knos about Chinese personnel.
e a delicate matter for me to tell you about these things because of my
recent official connection with Generalissimo Chiang Kai4Shek.- For that
reason I am marking this cmmunication secrete
"When we recently reduced the nuber of our Chinese staff in New
York it was quite obvious that there was going to be trouble and that this
trouble would take the form of accusations against the remaining personnel:
The fact is that certain of the personnel with whose services we dispensed had
connections outside the office. This leads directly into the main questions
It is extremely important from the point of view of security that intelligence
infonnation should not leak out of our office through our Chinese personnel.
It is an open secret in Washington that the security of various Chinese agencies
there is deplorable. Any pipeline from our office to any of those agencies is
not a pipeline but practically an open conduit-
"However, it is not only a question of Chinese government agencies-
There is also a well organized and well financed organization among the Chinese
in this country connected with Wan~ Chingeeei; the Japanese puppets This can hetraced back to the history of the E ne Revolution as a whole-- To present itin the fewest possible wordsrqkgzn, at n was largely fin edgier many yearsby Chinese living abroad. Not ly sen butgagg, ng ei had close
connections among the overseas Chinese. However much e is a tr itor new the
fact must be recognized that Wang Ching-wei is a veteran of Chinese politics with
connections which he has nourished for many years among Chinese comunities
abroad, including those in the United States. .. ~ '=51

"Chinese in the United States come almost exclusively from a few _
localities on the coast of China, practically every one of which is new occupied
by the Jaoanese. Thus these Chinese in Anerica have both family connections and
financial investments which are under the control of the Japanese, and because
of his years of political organizing work Wang Chingwei knows all of these -

"On the other side there is a special organization within the. »a
Kugmingtang or Chinese Nationalist Party at Ghungking which is charged with i
maintaining political and financial connections with Chinese overseas. This
Overseas Bureau also has a detailed knowledge of the Chinese communities in
Anerica and is able to apply pressure. Thus, there is a very intense conflict
going on every day in every Chinatown in America between the Wang Chingwwei
agents and those of the Kuomintang. It must be remembered that while the
Kuomintang is able to operate in a private ray as a political party among Chinese
residents in America, it is also the party which 'owns' the Chinese Governent
and is thus able to make use of Chinese Government agencies. - _
"Thirdly, there are numerous Chinese in America who are politically
unaffiliated. There are of course Communists but they have neither the money
nor the organization of the Wang Chingwei and Kuomintang groups. The genuinely
unaffiliated Chinese are a curious ccpound product of Chinese politics and the
American environment. They tend to be intensely loyal to China as a country,
eithont conceiving that the Kuonintang or any other political organisation haea
monopoly right to control of their thoughts and actions. They are like Amricans;
they like to give their political allegiance, not to have it demanded of then.1
They are reluctant to support a regimented series of causes laid down for them
under orders; like Americans, they often give moral and financial support to a
scattered number of causes some of which may even conflict with each other to a
certain extent.
The conflict between the Wapg Ching-sei organizing group and the
Kuomintang organiting group in America can not 5e'fought out in the opens Both
sides have very good reasons for not courting publicity. Each is anxious to
bring into its fold asnnny of the unaffiliated Chinese as possible. Each is also
anxious not to be exposed as an 'Unnmerican' organization or a foreign political
group working on American soil. Both of them accordingly find it very good
tactics, not only to cover up themselves but to put pressure on those whom they
are trying to bring under their control, to accuse unaffiliated Chinese of being
Communists. This is an accusation which covers up the accuser at the same time
that it puts pressure on the accused. '

"One the outstanding rallying points of the unaffiliated Chinese ' in America is tg§92§;:r§:ina Daily News in New York. This is ¢0tr°1l@d CY an l~organization of lau '" s; I understahdmthatuthe shareholders nuber two or .
three thousand and that they take an active interest in the newspaper, The ~
essential thing about these laundrymen is that in the nature of their business. .
they are independent small business men; This means that they are on the '-
onehand fairly well insured against Comunist ideology, since the small business=
man of whatever nationality is likely to be e man who has made his way by his '
own initiative and enterprise and is therefore extremely suspicious of collectivist
economic theories. On the other hand these Chinese small business proprietors
are reluctant to submit themselves unquestioningly to the control of the vested
interests which have grown up in China in association with the doinant Kuomingtang»
The New China Daily News would probably not come under much pressure if it were -
not for the fact that it is one of the best edited Chinese papers in America with
a growing circulation. It does not need to be subsidized or supported by a patron
like many, perhaps the majority of Chinese papers. It pays dividends on its own
merits. A nuber of Chinese language papers in America receive subsidies from
the Kuomingtanga At least two, and perhaps three, receive subsidies frm the
Wang Chingrwei group. One or two others trace back to the group within the '
Kuomintang,'ihich was at one time headed by t e late Hu Han-min, a leader of aright-wing faction within the Kuomintang. ThS92Q§>£i§Hqig group, though once rea
garded as right~wing conservatives, are now regs ded in hina as 'oldfashioned
libera1s'- liberal, so to speak, short of the New D8810 They are less bitterly
involved in Chinatown politics than the Wang Chingewei and Kuomintang groups.
The two latter, which are engaged in handing out carefully colored news and' "
doctored editorial policies, are intensely jealous of and hostile to an unaffiliated
paper like the New China Daily News which, so to speak, flaunts its sins by being
so readable tht the Chinese public in Amrice buys it for its own sake.
"It would be rash to say that there are no Communists connected with
the New China Dai1y_News. Here it is necessary to consider another peculiarity
of the politics of Chinese living out of China. These Chinese are far from being
tied to the chariot wheels of Moscow; but when it comes to resisting the trend
toward totalitarian regimentation within China they are often willing to support
Plrts of the program advocated by the Chinese Cannunists within China. This is so
much a part of the pattern of politics of Chinese living out of China that it is
not uncommon to find wealthy men, even millionaires, supporting the program of the
Chinese_Comunists in whole or in part. This was, for instance, conspicuous in
Malaya before the fall of Singeporea For such prosperous and independent Chinese
it was a question either of backing their independent judgment of the steps that
needed to be taken toward creating a working deocracy within China, or of paying.
financial tribute to the Kuomintang, which sometimes tends to be autocratic, and

modern western education but at the same time he is keenly interested in thenational unification of China and the orderly development of a stable political
organization there. I know by long experience that he is anything but a Cqnnunist;
I also know that because of his seniority, his background of independent wealth,
and his superior mentality he is not e man to be pushed around by party bureau-
crats. Chew Hong is e much younger man, but one whom Dr. Chi trusts and of whose
integrity he is convinced. There is something in their relationshi of th ld p e o
Chinese standards of disciple and master. As long as Dr, Chi stands in the

rid of either man. I know that both men may be subjected to attacks. Given
the time to work on it, I could undoubtedly trace such attacks to their origin
and give you the full details. I doubt whether the Personnel Security Committee
h of OWI would be able to trace such attacks, rooted in the intricacies of Chinese
factional politics, to their source; but I should not like to see us placed in a
position where, after getting rid of people now attacked, we would be forced to
hire people who would actuallv be the nominee of factions not under our control.
"It is for this reason that I have written this long letter to urge
you to report to our Personnel 5ecurity Committee the necessity for exercising
pronounced agnosticism when any of our Chinese personnel are attacked.
In the meantim I amdoing my best to check over our Ghinese Personnel
in San Francisco.
*Once nore I urge you to observe the strictest confidence in acting on
this letter, because in certain quarters it might be considered that I am under
a moral obligation to see the OWI is staffed with Chinese who take their orders
from some source other than the American Government.

' "You know that I have never sought any important political *
uosition,
even whenIn fact, I have refused to consider positions of this kind
they have been suggested, for, although I as a citizen have taken
e keen interest in tho commonweal, I do not feel myself fitted for pO1i~
ticel leadership. Youu on the contrary, have held political positions
of great responsibility~-positions in which your judgment and advice
affected vital features of_this country's foreign policyg Severtholooe
you state that my political opinions are much stronger than yours,
Du you re?1y'think that I, the simple citizen, take political oninions
more seriously, than you, the man who occupied important political posts?
Do you resllY mu to any that you voiced imnortont political opinions
without holdin? them strongly?
"When you, in coversstion with sthcr and me after

manifest themselves as differences in expression, Hut it seems to we that
for n number of years we erohenged many idea, political and otherwise,
without letting into any bested argument, After your trio with wailace,
yuur.tonc changed. If I hurt you by my vehemence, I am sorry, Even
strongly felt conviction should not be so expressed, There may have been
a good reason why I reacted violently to your attitude-and I think there
was; but whatever the reason, I certainly do not defediths passion of my

"But ploese examine the substance of your argument in your
last letter, If it is difficult to understand what your political 0p1n1OnB'
ere, how can I be sure about your scientific views? There are systems of. 7
political ideas, just es there are systems of scientific ideas. To make"
senss they_have to ooperete-and, if necessary, develop-integratedly in 4,,
s way which can be eporehendsd, checked, and argued in an orderly fashion,
" For some time, I have felt that your system of values, scientific as well§i*
as political, is not an integrated one. In the past you have made fine
scholarly contributions, and I shell never hesitate to acknowledge them;
but, in view of your lncx of certainty regsrding your present ideas,
collaboration between us had better wait until they have recrystallized,
I am looking forward to the day when I can again talk with you about
opinions which you do rot onlv seem to hold, but which you really hold.
"February 20, 194?
"Your letter of February 18 boars out, I em eiraid, the
opinion which I expressed in my lest letter to you ~ that your ideas and
feelings on political matters are more extreme than mine sni more -
vehemently expressed. For exnmnles of trying to convert me from opinions
_ which I do not hold, I cannot imagine how you could have got the idea
that I believe that Korea might advantageously be taken over by the
"conservative" forces of Soviet Russia. As for the removal of the Kikado,'
I have never orgued that America should renavr him; my position has
nlweys hnen that American oolicy should not be committed to support of the
iknao, oorticslorly if there should arise a strong Japanese demand for
his renovvl.
In view of theme uieunde:stnndin;_it is obvious that when
we meet we shell get on best if we coniine the conversation to those sub-

set forth here na er. BARMNE stated that on March 28, 1950, the x _
'day following his interview with agents of the New York Office, which
was reported to Burea b teletype of March 28, he was contactedtelephonicayl by "BIE£@{h¥gTE. He described latter as son ofWILLIM-1 ALIETEXQITE and a rmer associate of his, BAR:-11nn's, at the
time the latter was employed by Readers Digest.
with further reference to WHITE, he commented that he,
BARMTHE, had reviewed LATTIMORE'S "Book" at the time it was presented to
Readers Digest for condensation and possible publication. BARMIHE said
that he "succeeded in killing it" and Readers Digest did not publish the
condensation. He indicated that WHITE was associated with him in this
incident and said that he had told WHITE and some ther associates inthe publishing business" of what he had been told bggzi with regard
to LATTIMORE and the IPR. WHITE, when helcalled, told RMINE that he hadsome weeks previous to the call, met one7$KiOHER" ph.! at a party and
told him of what BABMINE had told him some years previously Pgardig
LATTINORE. Soon thereafter "KISHER" approached WHITE and told him that
he was either a friend of Senator He Carthy or was connected with his
recent investigative activities; BARMINE was not just sure how "KISHER"
identified his relationship to UcCAHTHY to WHITE. "KISHER" further told
WHITE that MoCARTHY would like very much to talk to BARMINE but had
been unable to locate him and did not know where he lived or was employed.
WHITE asked BARMINE if he would mind WHITE giving this information to
"KISHER". BAR&HNE said he told WHITE that he did not desire that McCARTHY
be advised as to his whereabouts; that what information he had was un-
corroborated and was already known to McCARTHY, he apparently having been
told by "KISHER". WHITE promised BARMINE that he would not advise "KISHER".
However, the following evening BARMTNE was telephonically contacted atthe V03 by one "SURINE", whonhe subsequently came to know as "DON" orI
"DONAL 1 ' warns".

"being from the United States Senate" and said he wanted to talk to
sggggpp. BARMINE told him that he was very busy; that he had another
appointment that evening, and did not really have the time to see SURINE.
BARMINE asked SURINE if he could tell him over the phone as to Just why
he wanted to see him, but SURINE said that it could not be discussed
telephonically. As BARMNE still remonstrated against seeing SURINE,
the latter finally told him that he did not want to ask him any questions
but rather, "I want to state something to you". At this point BARMENE
thought that possibly SURINE had a subpoena for him and had used the
pretext of wanting to see him as an opportunity 6f serving him with such.
He, therefore, asked SURINE to come to his office in the VOA which
SURINE did, and then he and SURINE went to a nearby Schraffts bar.
BARMINE commented that he was very sorry that he had not taken someone
with him to meet SURINE in view of what occurred.
BARMINE said SURINE opened the conversation with some
remark to the effect that he "had worked on me in Baltimore" when he was
in the FBI. He then told BARMINE that he was representing McCARTHY; that
they were aware of the statemnts BARMINE had made relative to LATTIMORE
and the IPR, and that they wanted BARMIWE to put these into the form of anl affidavit. EARMTFE said that SURINE did not say he was fro the FBI but
he definitely did indicate in his manner and comments that what information
they had had come from the FBI. He said that SURINE, apparently to '
emphasize his connection with the FBI, had displayed to him a "pin"
or a "medal" which indicated how many years he had been with the FBI.
BARMENE said that he immediately told SURINE that he would
make no affidavit, that he did not appreciate the manner in which SURINE
had approached him, and he wanted nothing further to do with the matter. He
then left SURINE.
On, BARMINE thinks, Thursday, March 30th, the newspapers
carried the story to the effect that he, BARHINE, "had made an affidavit"
regarding LATTINORE. Ap arently as a result of this, BARMINE was summonedto the office of his "VO§FHIEF" and questioned concerning the matter.

EABMINE said that he told his chief the whole story and_
further told him definitely that he had given no affidavit and thus
if McCARTHI had one as he claimed, it was a forgery- His Chief asked
him if he had told his information to the FIE "nd BARMNE said that he had..
The Superior then asked specifically if he, BABMNE, had mentioned -
JOSEPH EARN§§_and OWEN LATTIMORE to the FBI by nama.to which BARMINE
QC» f¬pIiEd tHat he had. BARMNE commented that his Superior asked this
-» '~-~ latter question more or less in the idea of "softening the thing", that
is EARNINEs action in naming BARNES and LATTIMORE. However, BARMINE
said he explained to his Superior that he had definitely named these
individuals as he had received the information from §§§§;N, he believed
it to be true, and he definitely felt that it was "my duty" to so inform the
FBI. The following day, March 31st, BARMINE talked to EUGENE LIONS.
LIONS told BARMNE that SURINE, after leaving BARMENE, had come to "Lyon's
place", told the latter of his visit to BARMNE, said that BARMINE had
made statements to him but would not sign an affidavit. He then
proceeded to use LIONS typewriter to type up "an affidavit" which contained
the information he said BARMINE told him. He then showed this to
LIONS and asked the latter if he had heard BARMINE make the statements,
as contained in the supposed affidavit, aforementioned. LIONS said that
he had. SURINE then, according to what BARMENE was told by LIONS, got
the latter to sign this paper to that effect. BARHINE said that he
berated LIONS for his action and told him that he should have known better;
that he should have known that if he was willing to make such remarks to
SURINE he would have been willing to sign an affidavit to that effect.
BABMNE said that he understood, partly from LIONS and in part from the
newspapers, that McCARTHI had turned thi idavit over to the FBI.
His purpose in contacting the New York Office, BARMENE
continued, was to advise first that any affidavit allegedly signed or made out
by him was a forgery and that any statements made by SURINE to the effect
that he, BABMNE, had spoke to him, or told him, anything regarding
LATTIMORE, BARNES, the IPR, or related matters, would be perjury on the
part of SURINE. FURTHER, BARMINE said that if he was ever confronted with this
supposed affidavit he would not hesitate to identify it as a forgery and
a perJurours act on the part of SURINE. He further desired that
if McCARTHI had not made this paper available to the FBI as reported to him,
BARMINE, then, if possible, he would like to have McCARTHI made aware
of the fact that the affidavit was a forgery and of the tactics utilized by
investigators representing him. In this respect BARMINE was advised that

the Bureau was not in the position of relaying messages to Senator
McCARTHY and that if he desired that this information be made available
to McCARTHY he should do so himself. '

with the FBI in this or any other matter at this time; that he

apprehensive that if this affidavit was made available to the Bureau
and the latter in turn made such available to any Loyalty Board, or
published it in connection with any security investigation, that the
State Department would become cognizant of it and would look down upon
him in view of his previous statement to his superior that he made no
such affidavit. However, he added that despite his fears, he did not
contemplate advising his superior at the VOA of what he had learned
from LYONS as he, in his own mind, definitely felt that the matter was
closed upon his refusal to furnish SURINE any information and his
advising his superior to that effect. BARMENE said that he definitely
believed what BERZIN had told him and that he would be willing to testify
as to what he was told in the event the FBI cared to call upon him.
He commented that he was afraid that if McCARTHY released his affidavit,
and he, BARMHE, labelled it as a forgery, which he would do, then the
informtion would actually turn to the benefit of LATTIMORE rather than
to his detriment. BARMINE said that he would advise the New York Office
of any further developments in this matter.
