Disclosures of international significance are likely to eme out
of the Federal Grand Jury probe into the activities of Anastase A. V0nsi
atsky, which is new taking place in Hartford, Connecticut, under the gui=
dance of Thomas J. Dodd, special assistant to the Attorney General.
For years Anastase Vonsiatsky, head of the Russian National
Fascist Revolutionary Party and until recently editor of The Fascist; has
been weaving a net of international intrigue from his estate near the lit-
.t1e town of Thompson, Connecticut. Himself an agent of the Genmen and
Japanese High Commands and a ringleader of the fascist White Russian fifth
column in America, Vonsiatsky has been conspiring not only to overthrow
the Government of the Soviet Union but also to bring about a fascist coup
in the United States. Working closely with key representatives of Germany
and Japan, he has helped smuggle spies, sabotours, and terrorists into Rue
sia, whose duties have included assassinating Soviet leaders. During the
last ten years, he has frequently visited Berlin, Rome and Tokyo. He ran
arms to France-Spain to aid the Axis-inspired uprising in that country. He
aided in the organization of a fascist'White Russian Army on Japanese sci]
which is now awaiting orders from Tokyo to launch an attack against the
Soviet Union. On his Connecticut estate, he maintained an elaborate arse:-
al of rifles, machine guns, tear gas equipment, etc; and he trained score:
of uniformed swastika-wearing young men in preparation for the day when
Fascism would come to America.
For carrying on his multifarious plottings, the former Czarist
fficer had at his disposal the immense fortune of his wife, nee Marionkgeam, who inherited a one-seventh share of the $40,000,000 Ream estate in
Chicago. The American heiress and the penniless Russian emigre met in
Paris in 1921, and were married shortly afterwards. At the time he was
twenty~three and she was forty-five.
Vonsiatsky Exposed in The hour in 1939
On July 30, 1939, The Hour carried an article, entitled "Fritz
Kuhn's Week-End Host Participated in Murders," which exposed Vonsiatsky's

DETROIT FIFTH COUMNIST REFRIL S ENDORSEMENT BY SENATOR REYNOLDS
92 .
Current Issue of Smith'nJtf6§sfand Flag Also Announces
Smith's Candidacy for U. S. Senate
The May issue of The Cross and The Flag, the seditious magazine
being published in Detroit ex-Silver Shizer
No. 3223, devotes its entire back page to a promotional article based on
an endorsement received from Senator Robert R. Reynolds of North Carolina
see The Hour for April 18 and May 2!. At the top of the page are several
lines of bold type reading: "United States Senator Robert R. Reynolds,
Chainman of the Military Affairs Committee, said, when interviewed by the
Associated Press concerning TH CROSS AND THE FLAG: ..." The item then
proceeds to quote Senator Reynolds statement.endorsing Smith's subversive
sheet which, in the Senator's words, stands for the things I have stood
for for many years." The article also quotes from a personal letter re-
ceived by Smith from Reynolds, congratulating the Detroit fifth colunist
on the first edition of The Cross and The E155. Smith proudly remarks,
This is merely one of the thousands ofntestimonials that have come in,
favorable to this crusading, patriotic journal."
Emboldened by the support he is receiving from congressmen such
as Senator Reynolds, Gerald L. K. Smith strikes out with increasing venom
against the Administration in his current issue.
demagogic style, he attacks the "bureaucrats and
ton for their supposedly incompetent prosecution

Smith's Political Plane
The feature article in the current issue of The Gross and The
Flag is entitled "My Hat's In the Ring." In it Smith announces he will
F3_E candidate in Michigan this fall for eleotio to the U. S. Senate.
The sort of backing he hopes to get is obvious. "I will be supported by
the old-fashioned, Christian, American people," he says. He makes an
open bid for the support of Christian Front, German-American Bund elements
by including this plank in his progrmml "
I shall defend the right of free speech and free press
for Father Charles E. Coughlin. The treatment that this
minister of Christ is receiving at the hands of the blood-
thirsty Reds is unbelievable."
Iith the United States engaged in a life and death struggle
against the Axis powers, the seditious, disruptive propagandizing of this
20th Century Benedict Arnold constitutes an ever-increasing danger to the
American people. The Hour therefore urges that the Departnent of Justice
immediately suppress The Cross and The Flag and conduct a thorough inves-
tigation of the treasona5l§ac¬lvitles of Gerald L. K. Smith, examining
with particular care his ties with certain members of the Congress of the
United States. '

Hobert_§¢¥égpinwa1lorNQgt§oit,_nho describes himself as "Pres-
ident of The Lincoln Manufacturing Company -- Specialists in Flourescent
Lighting," is currently distributing seditious literature through the-
United States mails. This literature is in the form of a sma1l,_neatly
printed pamphlet, entitled Our One Hope of Peace, which contains defeatingpro-Axis propaganda. T énjifl 7 " 92
Camouflaged as a pseudo-economic tract which presents the sol-
ution" of the world's present Problms, Aspinwall's booklet contains such
spurious comments as the_following|
"In the first world war we used a number of slogans to
give popular expression to the object for which we were
fighting. we were told this was The war to end wars --
thst we were fighting for The preservation of freedom
and democracy. , _r
"But to those of us who carefully study and analyze the
situation there are many questions, many puzzling facts
that do not seem to be clearly nor adequately explained
hp such simple and obvious reasons.

"Certainly we are called upon to defend ourselves against
attack but on further reflection the people of the at-
tacking nations are not a particularly warlike type.

Why then, asks Aepinwall. is the United States fighting the
Germans and the Japanese? llainly, he answers, because this country's
harsh economic measures against Berlin and Tokyo forced the war on these
nations. The Detroit psmphleteor then reasons: V
Thus it seems that the United States throuQ a lack of92inderst£.r'l5.ing__and§OmlI1onse11s0 has been oc eye __i_r£_Zo_ a"lei-tion of fightingilfor e cause that iafeee _un ust and%§tri1uent_e.l _to_ oijifigriatliolf... ofsem-'e¬*eH5aJ5t1ensin question Qwfth v:H:YchThe U.

e. brutal and barbaric method of accomplishing their aims
but there seemed to be no other way for them to achieve
their desires, for the U. S. had made it definitely clear
that every effort would be made to protect home industry.
Further than that the United States in company with other
nations made it clear that if any attempt was made by force
to expend the sphere of influence of these fascist} na-
tions that every help short of war would be given to any
nation on whom force was used. ... this War might be
brought to a reasonable Bonclusion byiacigowled ing our

Times Advertises Aspinwe.ll's Book
Interestingly enough, on April 26 and May 3 the New York Times
carried advertisements for A,spinwall's pro-Axis booklet. Both adve'Ft'J'.'§'§-
ments. which were headed "Our One Hope of Peace," read as follows:
"This war is a struggle for the control of raw materials
and the is sue can never be settled by fighting. A lasting
peace can be achieved by free trade - free trade not only
between nations but between ourselves as well. Send ten
cents for booklet, Our One Hope of Peace, Robert S.
Aspinwall, 2630 Erskine st., Detroit, Michigan."
It seems that the advertising department of the New York Times
should exercise greater care in checking the sort of literature it F175:-
. motes. A.Bpinwall's above characterization of this war as a "struggle
for the control of raw materials ... which can never be settled by fight-
ing" should alone have been sufficient to arouse the suspicions of any
copy reader familiar with President Roosevelt's definition of this con-
fliot as "A War of Survival.

grandmother had presented him with a Liberty Bond, stating it to
be a token that the last World War was one waged for righteousness
and it was her invest.-sent in his future, made in the hope that he
could live in a peaceful, free, and democratic world. After the
Treaty of Versailles, his grandmother stated to him that she had
been deluded, and that the treaty was one which would only lead
to more wars. He continued by statig the Government, in order
to pay-the bond and its indebtedness, which is evidenced by the
bond, actually taxed him in order to pay the debt which was due
him.
He stated, therefore, that the collection which
would be taken up that evening was an investment, and that the
cost of any future war would assume staggering proportions in so
far as it would relate to any individual. He added that any money
which was contributed might well be regarded as an investment to
protect the people against future greater debts. It was his opinion
that the minimum cost per citizen--should we enter this war--would
be $2,000, and approximately $7,000 per bread-winner. At this time
the ushers passed up and down the aisles taking a collection. It
is not knot-'11 at this time how much was obtained.

The theme of Senator WHEEI.ER'S speech was conerning
the fact that there are many people in America today who were
against this country's entry into any ear, but were afraid to
speak. He is too frequently met with the response, We Are in
business," meaning that people were not in a position to express
their views as they were in business and were actually against
entry into war but were afraid to express their opinions. He
stated he was unalterably opposed to America's entry into any
foreign war and was now trying to force the President to keep the
promises made to the American people when he was seeking their
votes to re-elect him to a third term. He quoted President ROOSE-

against war, and he defined war as meaning 'shooting.' He also
quoted President RO0$EVELT'S pledge that American boys would never
be sent outside of Hie Western Hemisphere. He then stated that
President ROOSEVELT had broken these pledges inasmuch as he had
ordered the American Easy to shoot and also that he had occupied
Iceland after consulting the Parliament of Iceland without consult-
ing the Congress of the United States, and that he had stationed
American soldiers in Iceland under command of British officers.
He added that Iceland is situated in the a ern EGnisph6r9 and
that "Not even a magician like'WENDELL L ILLKIE could bring itback into the Western Hemisphere.
Senator WHEELER launched an attack upon President
statement that religious freedom in Russia is the
same as in America. He quoted figures as to the number of priests,
bishops, and other clergyman who had bee killed by Comunist over-
lords, and than gave as his source for these figures the title ofa bookiizglde, and page number, the book being one written byD
FKVUD
WINSTO HURCEILL. This statement was met with wild applause and
enthusi stic cheering. '
He then stated that from this fact, it might roll be
assumed that American soldiers would shortly be fighting side by
side with Communist soldiers for the protection and preservation
of Communist Russia. During the course of the speech, Senator
WHEELER also stated he was against Nazi oppression and mentioned
a tour he had made through Genmany and the persecution he had wit-
_ nessed there.
He referred to the present cooperation between
England and Russia, and stated it was an Unholy Alliance. The
Senator launched an attack against the notion picture industry,
and stated that the people in attendance at this meeting had not

is being taken towards the Jewish race, adding that this is the
reason this industry is putting forth every effort by say of propa-
ganda pictures. He stated Jewish refugees have come to this country
and are presently being feted and living in luxury and attempting
to have the United States fight the war for them and for their
cause. He criticised the regiment of British actors who are serv-
ing the present war from Hollywood Boulevard, and stated he was
aware that not all of the producers were engaged in war propaganda,
adding that the Senate investigation is directed against those Iho
are.
During his talk, the senator stated that he was not
antiBritish, that he greatly admired the British people for being
smart people, and he always admired smart people. He sarcastically
outlined the role played by Great Britain during the last war,
stating that that nation first requested America for money, which
was furnished; then they requested a small token anny to boost the
morale of the allies, and a token anhy was given, which was followed
by the A.E.F. He stated we did this because the nnart people in
England had told America it was fighting her war. He stated that
when the tar was over and after many of the men sent over failed
to return. "hen America tried to collect her war debt, the smart
people of England characterised America as Uncle Shylock.'
He then drew a parallel in present day events in
the Lend-Lease Bill and the transfer of bombers and ships, and
stated that shortly the President was contemplating introducing a
bill authorizing the ending of American merchant ships. He stated
that prior to the last iar, a bill authorising the arming of mer-
chant ships was passed, and 21 days later America was in war.
The senator did not refer to Germany and Italy to
any extent onlv atatinr that the gnrld has nn f Ai.t t . _ Pl Ii! 0 H lll ~ , -- -V w Y--rw ---- - - ---- ---- -Q-. --- -'- ----.-.-'--
and dictatorships, and that Americans will continue to live in a
democracy by supplying England with materials to carry on her war
against the Rome-Berlin Axis.
Fe also mentioned CHARLESXQINDBERGE as being a true
and loyal American citizen who puts heritage above all, and he is
being 5 PP°P*¢d by I11 reel Americans. This statement was received

RE: AMERICA FIRST OOMITTEE METIN AI
OLYMPIC AUDITORIUM, Loe Angeles,
California, October 2, 1941.
with great enthusiasm by the audience.
The meeting was generally orderly, with only two
incidents being noted by the observers. Upon launching his
attack against the movie industry, one person in the audience
rose and called Senator WHEELER e liar. It was a minor disturb-
ance, and this individual was ejected by the police. A,niddle-
aged woman stalked down the aisle on the main floor of the audi-
torium to inspect the Indian at close range, stating she did not
believe he was a real Indian. There was no violence with this
incident, and the entire thing was greeted with laughter by the
audience .
In general, the audience was very attentive and
receptive, and the applauded the speaker most loudly Ihen he
referred to statements about keeping America out of the present
war and keeping American boys at home. Although his accusations
against the President of not keeping his 1940 campaign promises,
and his jests of WENDELL L. WILLKIE drew applause from the audience,
at no time was there hissing or booing at the mention of the name
of the President or that of WENDELL L. WILLKIE. Before, during,
and after the meeting, pamphlets and papers were passed out and
copies of two of them are being attached to this communication.
The Les Angeles press reports that 11,000 persons were in attendance
at the meeting.

Secretly there was a tremendous Jewish group backing the
America First until Just recently. This Jewish group had as its front
thefuggenheim Foundation, and the committee was quietly subsidized
for tremendous sums of money. The Guggenheim interest has always fronted
for Lindberg, but a few weeks ago the Jewish group withdrew aJ.l financial
support. A nunber of the members of the committee quietly vrithdrew or
became inactive. This was due to three reasons.
1. America First was set up because of the hatred for President
Roosevelt and the purpose was to do everything possible toember/rasssin in every way possible.
//a. "-*7.W fe of the Senator, is bitterly an itic.SE is a stock-holder oi the Chicago Tribune, and % mick,the Tribune's owner, has as his man Harryung, head of the
American Vigilante Intelligence Federation, who is also strongly
pro-Nazi and anti-Semitic. It is alleged that Hrs. Hheeler, -
Harry Jung and 601. McCormick are using America First as a
sounding board for anti-Jewish propaganda. In connection with
this, Father Charles E. Coughlin of Detroit and the Christian
Fmnt Organization have Just recently been officially welcomed
into America First by Col. Wood, another stock-holder of the
Chicago Tribune.2.
3. America First has a lobby strictly anti-Rooseve at Wastxington.This lobby is comprised of W:i.llia:»!KCe.stlo,,/Alic&I:or1,gworth,"'John Liewirl and General Hugh S. Johnson/Each and every one
of the are bitterenemies of the President.
This group had to figure a way to reach at the President through5
probably the most bitter attacks in the history of the world. The Hatch Act
would not permit large political contributions to the campaign funds,
so this organization, America First, has as its base enemy President
Roosevelt, azd consequently anything he attempts, no matter what it
concerns in regard to war and Britain, will be attacked by America First.
In other words, this organization which is cooperating with
every branch of anti-war groups, such as the I.R.A., Christian Front,
anti--British, Catholic groups, and every pacifist group in the country,
make it an organization that will always have to be watched.

when the present Pope rho then was Papal Secretary, was in the
; United States on a visit", he confided to certain members of the church that
1 in thought that the American priests, outside of the_Ir-ieh, were afyiiii lot. Since then a peculiar thing happened that makes one
consider. Cardinal Dougherty of Boston sev rely criticized Father
Goughlin and tried to have him removed. Cardinal Dougherty went to Home
on the matter. In the meantime, Coughlin started an attack on the Jere
and the British, and he was only mildly chastised for his actions,
and ever since he has been on the war-path now that the Irish groups
in the Catholic Church and the Knights of Columbus have become V617
bitter and active against Britain and Roosevelt, andno one in saying
a thing to them. They are mnning wild, md ex-Congressman John O'Connor,
one of the most staunch £rien.d.a oi the I=R=A= has been acting ae attorney
for Coughlime organization, the National Union for Social Justice.
Tm America First has a great fortune back of it. Among themonied ple are General Hood, Hrs. Jemettlwer Fairbanks, Frank 0.-%4'Iden,%l?1omae H. Hccarter, Edward Lrvwerso , and Pew who control the

placed America outside the effective bombing range of European aircraft, and " -
that even if it were possible to establish European air bases in South America e'

and Asia, I came to the conclusion that there were two, and only tsrc, great and
natural air powers in the vrorld at this tine -the United States, in the 1 ;. s
western hemisphere, and Germany, in the eastern hemisphere. I was convincedthat neither was in a position to attack the other successinlly across the __ '
ocean unless an internal collapse preceded an invasion. It seams clear to ne
that the quickest way tor Germany to lose the war would be to attack America 'and that the quickest say for America to lose a war would be to attack Genae.ny.*

send the great bulk or our armies, and supplies, and incl, aorcse the Atlantic

'°Yl tould. be harassed in le Atlantic by Germany, and possibly in the Pacific.by Japan at the same time. And under this harassment by bombing plane, raiderand submarine we Iould have to find some lay of forcing a landing, On I. . 'hostile coast.

of the same army and air force that broke the llaginot line and overcame HieBritish, French and Belgian amiss combined. We might easily find ourselves 2fighting, at one and the same tine, Hie military forces or Germany, Italy, it -
Fl!-11°. Bpain, Japan and other nations, with the natural resources ct Russiaavailable to them. and it is not at all inconceivable that before this war isover, England herself nay turn against us, as she has turned against Franceand Finland.
