I am not clear from your letter whether' theGeneral Intelligence i^ibrary is made up in any other waythan by seizures made by agents of your department. Canyou enlighten me? You see, one object with us JLs to placethese materials In our Hoover War Library as "seizures ofradical literature by the Department of Justice."

Also Mr. Hoover, your assistant* made some kindof a suggestion about giving instructions to your agentsnow in the dfield that in the case of further seizures theyshould send direct to us copies where in duplicate of anymaterials seized. Am 1 to understand that this arrangementwill be carried out, and if so will you instruct each agent /

vchen sending ax^thing to us to indicate that it comes from /an agent of the Department of Justice?

If business brings you this way, please do notfail to stop at Stanford, if only for a few moments, and seie

"I'

Upon consultation with the other memhers of the

staff of the Hoover War library it has seemed best to

take vour offer at its very widest and to ask you to

stnd copies ol every one of the items listed by you

Ind accompanying your letter of December nineteenth.

It is true that in a number of cases, a good many

in fact we have copies in our Hoover War Library or in

WTenerll Mbrary'of some of the wotks on your list,

but the great value of your offer is thatJ® J^^J^.-„. -„i

of Justice itself is ^vritten into our history collection.

It is not clear from your letter ;?«*!?«( °J"?^«^^^of the items listed were seizures of radical literature.

Some of the books would seem of such genipral circulation.

ev?n though radical in character, that you could l^ave made

^I AttPfflSt to Ret all of them that were abroad. Would it

?« correct to lay that all the works listed by you were

"leizedlrom radicals" in the processes of your work--which

differs from the statement that they were the result of

seizures of radical literature.

So if you will ship us one copy each of the items

listed by you, we shall greatly appreciate them I^ P^^"*

of fact I would like to have two cojpies each for our

colltction but hesitate to ask this, since i^ some cases

yoi apparently have but three copi^^^.^H.^f|jf|?^ing'b Im sure that every expense in connection with the boxing,

.-'^^ thiSIng aM transportation of these things to us is to be

^\ ?orfby the Hoover War Library, and that you are to send to

me such bills as are necessary.

Referring to year Instructions of the16th, to the effect that a set of duplicates ofbooks, publications, et cetera contained on alist forwarded to Mr. Adams of the^oover WarLibrary be prepared, and that you be informed-^nen ready, I beg to state that inquiry developsthat these books, pamphlets et cetera were for-warded to llr.

These were sent out at the time Mr.Grimes addressed his original letter to Mr. Adamsstating that instructions had been issued for theshipment of duplicates to the latter. The letterin question was showed to Miss Trovillion by MissSouthwick* Miss Trovillion notified Mr. Kertez ofthe Post Office Department, axd Mr. Kertez, actingupon instructions sent the books, pamphlets, etcetera,, in four different packages.

They have undoubtedly arrived there bythis time. They comprise. I am told, duplicates-of all those possessed by ttS^v^</«-«-i<-^'^^^ f^^uirv*^

May I recall myself to you as Director of the HooverWar Xibrary at Stanford University whom you were kind enough someyears ago to take to the ;Departmmt of Justice and introduce to llr.

Surns? :perhaps you xvill .recall also that at that tiroe "Mr. Burnsagreed to send and did send to' the Hoover 17ar Library' as complete apossible a file of duplicate ,sei2ures of radical literature made bythe department of Justice during the r/ar, 1914 to 1919. '^^ "

Somevhat iater lix. Burns gave Instrub.tions t'hat' agents '

in the field making such seizures of radical literature should" secureone copy where possible lEor the Hoover War Library and occasionallya b03c containing sudi seizures \vas shipped to uso I think the last '^

box shipped to us was received about J^rch, 1924; Since this timev/e have had nothing*

.Now the Hoover 7ar Library is anxious ^tohave thisarrangement continued if possible, since we really ought to be calleda reconstruction library -as well as a war library, as we are coveringthe :present years as well as the years of the I7ar. ^Iso, since andbecause of the agreement made v/ith Mr# Burns we ha^fo made no attemptourselves to collect from radical organisations in America theirliterature. Yet, as a historical library for future generations,we ou^t to possess that literature, even though it is not to be usedat present. I am writing therefore to inquire whether you will author-ize this arrangement and will ship to us at your convenience suchshipments as have been received at the Department of Justice since

March 1924.

Sincerely yours,

Mr# John S. Hoover, Director,Department of Justice,Bureau of Investigation,Washington, D» C.

liiy dear Mr. Hoover:

0m.:

/rs#

Professor S. D« Adams, in a letter to you ofthe 9th of February, requested that an arrangement previouslymade with. Mr. .Burns for ^,the .Hoover ITar Library whereby certainliterature obtained by agents of the Bureau of Investigation be.forwarded to the Library, ^ be continued. Your reply to Dr. Adamsojf -February 20, ^stated that the v/ork of tbe Bureau was now con-fined to investigations of violations of federal statutes andthat you could not comply with his request.

I wish to appeal to you in a rreitter somewhatdifferent from Dr. .Adarrs3*s jproposal. The Library Is making everyeffort to secure the ifiles of certain socialist papers publishedduring the ^ar. All our efforts to secure these files directlyfrom the publishers have brought the reply that they would gladlycomply with cur requests but they have no complete files them-sieves, their files having been confiscated by the Governmentduring the Var. !?e wish especially to secure jfiles, 1914 to 1919Inclusive, of the Milwaukee Leader, the American Socialist, the.Appeal to :Reason and the Neiv York Call. If you have files of anyof these papers in the -Department, may I ^request a file each forthe Hoover War Library? The lack of these papers ixi the Libraryis a serious gap which we must :fill, if possible. I would nototherwise have troubled you again about the matter.

Sir:

ILt has been suggested to no by the Attorney

General that In view of the present unsettled condition

of the coxintry* 3 foreign affairs it is important that

every available precaution should be taken to guard

against acts hostile to the interests and welfare of

the .people and the Government of the United States, and

to this end to use all possible loyal instrumentalities

now in existence to secure general and constant vigilance

in detecting and thwarting hostile and unfriendly acts

and in discovering those who ,are engaged in thera before

they can accomplish their purpose.

To this end, it has been further suggested by

the Attorney General that, if it roet with lay approval

under all the circumstances, I secure the active and

earnest cooperation of you ax3d your deputies as well

as that of such other sheriffs and their deputies, within

my district, as I might think advisable for the purpose

Of furnishing all possible aid in the detection of

persons whose disposition is* unfriendly to theUnited

States or who are about to engage in plots or acts

against the peace and security of the people^ and the

coxaaunicate .promptly to me all facts which- you nay

ascertain as to such persons and acts.

Should you consent to give this cooperation

you are requested:

First. To have your deputies alert and

tigilant by observation and inquiry to discover facts

about any ^hostile persons or plots, and to enlist the

aid of the people of their Isoaedlate neighborhoods to

the sdsie end.

Second. To report promptly to you,/ or under

special circumstances direct to me, all facts and

circumstances connected with such hostile persons or

plots, after Investigating the same as fully and quietly

of the facts and an estlxaate of the reliability of such

persons, their business, standing In the community, etc.

You are cautioned in carrying out these

suggestions to avoid any action which would tend to

stir up the foreign population of the country by

unwarranted arrests or to cause apprehension on the

part of such population of xinfair treatnent and to

arrange that all contemplated arrests, in so far as

the circunstances will perxait, be^submitted to the

proper Federal officers for consideration before such

Die Gestirneinllfisst kann nun wohl am beslen mil elekl

troniagnelischen Wellen und radioaktlven Ausstrahlungen

vergleichen, die nun neiz'wirkungen auf die menschliche^

Seele und auch solche auf den menschlichen KSrper (aber

natilrlich auch auf Tiere'und Ptlanzen usw.) austben,, Diese

gen von auSen, seelisch nur dann aus seinem Gleicbgewicht

gebracht werden kann, wenn er eben reizbarerXatur l$t,.

so wie eine eleklrischt FernzSndung nur dorl Brandwir-

kungen oder Exploslonen hervorrufen kann, wo brennbare

Oder explosive Massen gelagert sind, ebenio kjnnen auch

schlimme GestlrnelnflSsse nur bedlngt auf den Menscben

einwirken, Paracelsus sagt Ja: ,J'lanelen und Asztndenten

haben (In Beug auf Ihre schlechte Wirkung) auf den Gtl•

Der Mensch kann sich also dem tblen Gestirneln-

fluS entzlehen. Der Selbstbeherrschte, der Welse,

der Heilige, der gotlverbundene MenKh sind also

nicht mehr ein Splelball der fiblen GesllrnelnHlsse. >

Das Problem des dauernden Weltfrledens ist also ein

mtlaphytisch-myalischesi Das wolle nan Im-

deshalb „Realist" geninnt wird, sagt doch in Bezug

auf das Erkennen der Erscheinungen in der objek*

tiven Welt: „Es ist sJ. als wenn jemand in einer

dunklen Hohle sitzt, mit dera packen gegen den

Eingang ; an der ihra gegenllberliegenden Wand aber

wird das, was vor derphle sich abspielt, durch von

weiter an sie schlagen, so sie des Abweichens nur

desto mehr machen") aus der Verstrickung zu iSsen,

es zu sammeln und. als Sturm, und Abwehrtruppe

rem die Forderungen aufgestellt wurden, dit amerikanl-

sche Regierung solite sich fir die Revision des.Versailler

Vertrages einsetzen und der polniscbe Korridor sofort ge-

rlumt werden. Diese Resolution hat In polnisch-ameri*

kanischen Krei$ett groSe Aufregung hervorgerufen. Pol-

nischsprachige BUtter schirten die Flamme und schlieS-

lich nahm eine Anzahl polnischer Verbinde eine Resolu-

tion an, in der sie enlschieden Protest gegen die Resolu-

tion des Deutschen Tages einlegten und es beklagten,

daS die Streitigkeiten europiischer Vilker au( amerikanl-

scben Boden Qbertragen warden . ./'

„Es Ist In der Tat mifilich, den europiischen Nationali-

titenhaS aul amerikaniscben Boden ;u verpHanzen und

in die Kreiseunseres eigenen Bflrgertums hineinzutragen.

Es gicbt hier keine deutschen, polnischen. Italienischen

usw. Kolonien, sondern nur ein Volk, das sich wohl aus

dea verschiedenslen Elementen zusammensetten mag,

aber sich ieines Volkstums bewuEt bleiben muE . ./'

JtA ist vollkommen in der Ordnung, den Sympathien filr

das deutsche Volk lA einer Resolution Ausdruck zu geben

und seine HolTnung auf Eriisung von den Folgen des ver-

lorenen Krieges zu teilen. Aber es Ist eine ganz andere

Sache, an unsere Regierung mlt der Forderung beranzu-

tretrn, dafSr zu sorgen, daS diese Ziele der deutschen Po-

litik erreicht werden. Mit demselben Recht kSnnten

dann auch die amerikaniscben BJrger polnischer Her-

kunft von unserer Regierung das Gegenteil verlangen, Auf

diese Weise klme es zu Spaltungen im amerikaniscben

Voike, ohne daB solche Konflikte auf die tatslchliche Ent-

scheidung des Sireites In Europa von irgendwelchem

Einflusse wiren . . . Das In der Resolution ausgespro-

chene Verlangen an die Regierung, sich die Revision des

Versailler Vertrages angelegen sein zu lassen, Ist deshalb

unangebracht, well die Vereinigten Staalcn den Vertrag

bekaonllich garnicbt unterzeichnet baben, sondfrn einen

besonderen Frieden mit Deutschland geschlossen haben.

Da sie nicht Teilhaber des Vertrages sind, haben sie auch

keine MJglichkeil, seine Revision zu verlangen, oder auch

nur anzuregen . .

."^

^Die Beamten des Deutschen Tages waren nicht gut be-

raten, als sie ausgerechnel an jenem Tage, der In der

Hauplsache den Manen Goethes und Washington geweiht

war, diese hochpolilische Resolution an die Adressc der

Regierung richteten. Die bitten wissen mfissen, daS sie

damit Vnfrieden im elgenen Kause stitten warden, ohne

Ihren Zweck zu errelchen ,.

"

Das sind einige Auszilge aus Berichten deutsch*amerika*

nlscher Zeilungen 8ber diese Chlcagoer Angelegenheit.

Ist es wirklich ^so welt aus dem Wege^ wenn die Chlca-

goer Deutschen von der heutigen US-Rerierung verlangen,

Die Post von drfiben aus den letzten Wochen des alten

zugestelil wurde, enlhilt Interessante Nachrlchlen von"B6

gebenheiten, tber die wir bier von unseren Zeltungen nur

teilweise und auch nur andeutungsweise, unterrichtet wo^

den sind, die Tropfen, die durchslckerten, waren nicht

groO genug, um daraus ein richtiges Blld malen zu kSnnen;

andere Begebenheilen wieder, wurden llberhaupt nicht er^

wihnt. Nach diesen Nachrichten zu urteilen, scheint In

Frankreich eine sebr nervSse Stimmung zu herrschen, die

beinahe an Angst grenzt vor der nahen Zukunft. Crflnde

zu einem Angstgefahl hat es Ja zur Gentge geschalfen

durch sein arrogantes Benehmen der Qbrigen zivllislertea

Welt gegenflber. Es sind zwar unterdessen auf der politi-

schen Bflhne Minner In der Versenkung verschwunden und

andere Akteure datar aufgetaucht, aber im Spielplan selbst

hat kelnerlel Verinderung slattgefunden.

Wir lassen bier einlgc dieser Postnachrlchten folgen;

Frankreich erwtrtet emen Mittelmeerangriff

von Seiten Italieiu.

»,Italien bereitet einen OfTensivkrleg gegen Frankreich

im Miltelmeer vor. Es richtet seine ganze Anstrengungen

darauf, die franzjslschen Truppentranspofte aus Afrlka

nach dem Mullerlande abzuschneiden* Wir mtssen unsere

Abwehr In den Stand setzen, um den Italiern erfolgrelch

enlgegezutretep."

So' schrieb das Herriot nahestehende Blatt ^Ere Nou-

velle". Dieselbe Zeitung beschiftigt sich in einer Artlkel-

serie mit der Frage, ob ein nHandslreich der Italienischen

Mittelmeerflotte gegen die. franzfcischen Seeslreitkrifle^

mJglich wire. Die Frage wird unter der Bedingung b^

jaht, daB Frankreich einen Parititsverlust seiner marl-

timen Krifte Im Mittelmeer zugeben wflrde. Vorliullg seien

Frankreich und Italien In marllimer Hinsicht bis zum

Jahre 1}3( durch die Vertrige von Washington und Lon-

don gebunden. Daraus erglbt sIch tar beide die Gldchheit

far Llnienschiffe, das Verbot, Untersee-Bole von JOOO

Tonnen zu besltzen, und die Ermichtigung, drel Unter-

seeboote von mehr als M Tonnen zu bauen, unter der

Bedingung. daB diese Boote keine bihere als eine 155 mmkalibrige Bestackung besltzen.

Es ist gut, wenn wir Deutschen uns aber unseren elge-

nen, gewiS nicht kleinen Sorgenhorizont hinaus auch fiber

die politische Konjtellation unserer europiischen Nach-

barn klar werden. Das. was In der ^Ere Nouvelle" bier

mlt so brutaler OfTenheit zum Ausdruck gebracht wird,

nimlich der Kampf zwischen Italien und Frankreich um

die Vormachtstellun(lm Mittelmeer, bletet den franzisl-

schen Militirs und Prestlgepolitlkern neuerdlngs den b^

sten Vorwand, um das franzJslsche Volk In dem Wahn

von seiner ,»ewig bedrohten Sicherheif' zu erbalten. So

Eine authentiiche 'Information.

DaC die geuallige Entwicklung der nationalistischen B^

wegung ZU einem bedeulsamen politischen Machlfaklor In

Deulschland auBerhalb der deutschen Grenzen vcrhillnis-

rniBig spit erkannl und nach den lelzten Reifhstagswahlen

in fast alien auBerdeutschen lindcrn als eine groSe Ucbe^

raschung empfunden worden isl, hat seine Ursachc haupt-

sichlich in der bewTiBl fakchen Berichlerstallung der so-

genannlen deutschen Weltpresse, die dem dcrzeiligen ^^

jahrelang* sysleraatisch durchgeKhrle Totschweigetaktik

der Welt den inneren Aufbruch der deutschen Nation und

ihre gci^lige Revolulloriierung durch die nationalsozialisli

schc Bewegung Hitlers verschweigen zu kSnnen glaubte.

So kam es, dafi die Welt, die von der Existenz der Hitler,

horchte und seitdem ein bestlndig wachsendes Interesse

(ir diese Bewegung zeigt Sber die man sie gar nlcht oder

die sie verfolgt, auch heute noch keinc rechtc Vorstellung

lischer Welse das Entstehen und Wollen dieser groBcn

deutschen Bewegung. die in der zukfinftigen Entwicklung

des Deutschen Belches und Europas noch eine bedeulsame

Rolle spielen wird, au(zuieigen, ist der Zweck der nach*

folgendcn AusKhrungen.

Wer ill Adolf Hitler?

Hitler isl eines der erstaunlichsten und interessantesten

Beispiele des politischen self^made-man. Ohne Namen,

vMlig miltellos und g'anz.auf sich selbst geslellt, hat dieser

heute erst 43JlhriRe*Mann aus einem revolulionlr zusam-

mengebrochenen Volke heraus, das den Weltkneg verloren

hat, gegen geradezu ungeheure Widerstinde In Deutschland

eine nalionale Organisation geschallen, zu der sich heule

fund zwJlf Millionen wahlberechtlgter Deutscher bekennen.

Wie war cine solche Leistung mSglich, der niemand - wIe

Erfolg rechtferligte die Methode. Der Nationalsozlalismus

kam der sulhchtn Ikllung breitester Schichlen des deut*

schen Volkes enlgegen, die In dem Irrgarten des Ratlonalls-

mus der Nachkriegsjahre sich instinktiv nach kraftvoller

FOhrung sehnte.' Sie erkannten im Nationalismus' Hitlers

den Iktchlmh tlnn litt» die ihrera eigenen Idealen Wol-

len entsprach. In ihrem Ffihrer Hitler verehren seine An-

hinger den Mann aus dem Volke, der ihnen zugleich die

Schnsucht der Nation verkSrpert. Und so hat das sttrmi-

schc Vordringen der Hitlerbewegung dieTatsache entschlei-

eri, dafi der heldische.Gedanke Irolz des verlorenen Krieges

und der Revolution im deutschen Volke nichl tot Ist und daB

ein nationaler Ffihrer, dem es gelingt, zugleich das soziale

Vcrtraucn der Masse zu gcwinnen, sehr wohl Imrtande 1st,

sie dem nationalen Gedanken wieder zuzufihren. Denn die

Idee des Nationalsozialismus beruht aul der unlSsbaren

Einhcil des groBen Gedankens der nationalen Frelhelt mil-

dem groDen von Adolf Hitler geschalfenen Gedanken de*

dcutschcn.Sozialismus. der allerdings nichts zu tun hat mil

dem zerstSrendcn und zersetzenden ^,Sozialismu$^^^eh die

bisherigen sogenannten sozialistischen Parteien (Marxlsten)

in Deutschland predigen, sondern der nichts anderes 1st

als die Verwirklichung der dem deutschen Wesen entsp^^

chenden wirlschafls-ethischen Gesinnung.

Das nationalsozialistlsche VlirluhQfttprogrmiti geht nim*

der PfodukDon) darunter leidcn muB, Isl ebenfalls klar. Ge-

rade hicr zeigt sich der Kapilalismus In seiner verbingnls*

vollen Auswirkung. FQr den Kapitallsten allerdlngs glbt es

|a gar nicbts Bequeraeres und Angenehmeres als diese Form

der Ausbeulung der Arbeltskraft aller an der Produktlon

Beteiligten.

Es liegt daher nichls niher, als daB man die Forderung

aufstellt nach Beseitigung des arbeits* und mllhelosen Ein*

kommens des reioen Kapilalbesilzes und bestrebt Ist, den

Gewinn der Unternehmungen denjenigen zuzufibren, die

diesen Gewinn erarbeilen. Die Sozialdemokratle hat datlr

einfach die Formel wprlgt! JJieder mit dem Kapitalls-

musr^ Die Rlchtung, in der sich Indes diese Forderung aus*

wirkte, ging keineswegs gegen die verderbllche, zinskapila*

listische Form des Aktlenrecbles, sondern ricbtete sich

hJchst einseitig gegen den Unternehmer, der Ira Besitze der

Produktionsmittel sel, die Ihm einen ungerechtfertigten G^Winn zuflieBen lieBen. Diese sollte'/sozlalislert werden.

llier zeigt sich wiederum ganz unverbtlltp dal) es der Sozial*

demokratie keineswegs um die Beseitigung einer offensicht-

lichen und grausamen Ungerechtigkeit zu tun Ist, sondern

um die Leugnungder PersSnIichkeil und der daraus flleCen*

den Verdlenste. Nicbt gegen das kapltalistische System,

sondern gegen die hochwertige Persinlicbkeit, den Unte^

nehmer, den Wlrtschaftsfllhrer, richtet sich der marxisti*

sche Kampf. Derienige, der die Erflndung macht, das Rlslko

auf sich nimmt, der die Arbeit organlsiert. der neue Mirkte

erschliefit, gilt der Sozialdemokratle als der Ausbeuter, g^gen den sie die HaB- und Keidinstinkte der Massen mobll

macht. >

Die Triebfeder fOr die marxistlscbe Gewlnnbeleiligungs*

forderung Ist also nlcht sozialethisch fundiert, sondern ein

AusfluB'^der Mobilisierung niedrigster Instlnkte bel den

Massen. Auf diese Welse schwebt die Im Grunde auf so bo*

her elhischer Stufe stehende Forderung nach gerecbter

Wertverteilung dauernd In der Gefahr, entweder kapitall^

sllsch Oder marx*sozlali$llsch verzerri zu werden, um so

mehr, als diese Forderung egolsliscben Instinkten entgegen*'

komfDt.|aihnenentsprIngt.

Die Forderung nach Gewlnnbeteiligung, wie wir National*

sozlalislen sie autfass^n, mu6 sich also In gleicher Welse von

kapitalistischen wIe marxistischen Schlacken rein batten,

Es wird freilich nicbt ganz leicbt sein, In derPraxIs diese

beiden Klippen Immer zu vermeiden. Dies erscheint dbcNhaupt nur mtgllch, wenn die allgemein verblndliche Richt*

Iinie„Gemeinnutz vor Eigennulz*" eingehalten wird. Ich

babe wlederbolt auf die auBerordentlichen Schwierlgkellen

eIner persSnllcbeh und direkten Gewlnnbeteiligung hIng^

wiesen. Die Formulierung: nWir fordern Gewinnbeleillfr

ung", macht es dem Gesetzgebei' zunichst einmal zur Pflicht

den Begrlff ^Wir" klar zu umreiBen. Sind die nWlr" die In

den einzelnen Betrleben beschlftlgten Arbelter, Angestellten

und Beamte, oder deckt sich das nWIr^ mit der Gesamlheit

aller Schaffenden, oder Ist das ...Wir^ bescbrlnkt auf die

Natlonalsozlalisten bzw. auf den nalionalsozlalistischen

Slaat, d^r als Vertreter der Gesamtheit einen Anteil an demGewlnnerlrag der Produktlon fordertJ

Von dem Ibergeordnelen Slandpunkt der Brechung der

ZlnskuKhtscbaft aus muB die persSnliche, direkle Gewinn*

belelligung Im SInne etwa der ElnfShrung von Arbeite^

aktten abgelehnt werden. Diese wird mit Vorliebe von

(Nachstehendc hochlnteressante AusWhrungen ent«

gegen die Hochflnanz**. - Deutsche Wochenscbau.)

Es ist kennzeichnend, daB In der Sozlaldemokralie die

Forderung nach Gewinnbeteiligung eines der am schi^fsten

umstrittenen Probleme ist. Der Kapitalismus hat das.Prob<

Icm Ungst In seinem Sinne gelist. Der Inhaber einer Aklle,

Oder eines Anteilscheincs von irgendeinem Unlernehmen Ist

gewinnbeteiligt an dem ErIrag des Unlernehmens ohne Jeg-

liche Mlhe und Arbeit. Das Geld allein „ar b e 1 1 e t

fflrjhn**. Gerade diese Form der Gewinnbelelligung Ist

cs Ja, die zu den grSEten und schrelendsten Ungerechtigkei*

ten gefihrt hal, ja geradezu zu einer Trennung von Kapital

und Arbeit.

Ohne daS derKapilalist auch nur zu wissen braucbt,

wo die Produklionsstllten llegen, von denen er Ak-

tlen, Kuxe, Anteilschcine usw. besitzt, ohne daB er

Irgendwie (Or dieses „sein'' Unlernehmen tilig zu

Oder Antellscheinbesitzer, der alleln Gewinn-

berechtigte. .

DaB ein derarliges System die scbirfsle Kritik In mora*

wohl klar. DaB aber auch die Hauptaulgabe jeder Produk*

Oberst a, D. Haselmayr, M. d, R., schrieb am Ende des

Jahres 1932:

Xich halbjlhriger Pause soil sich am 31. Januar 1933 die

sogcnannte Abrflstungskonferenz 2u neuer Tagung In Cenf

versammeln. Der erste Abschnltt der Konfereni hatte rund

sechs Monale gedauert (1 Februar bis 23, Jul! 1932); seln

Ergebnis war gleich Null. Nieht elnraal die einfache Frage,

ob die vier abgerilsteten Staaten, Deutschland, Oesterrelch,

Ungarn und Bulgarien auf der Kon(ereni als glelchberech^

ligt siOen, wurdc von Ihr beanlwortel. Dabei Ist schon

for lede Vercinsversaramlung, die BeschWssc lu fassen hat»

die Feststellung der Stimraberecbtigten selbstversttndllche

erslc Aufgabe,

Mit dem Genfer FanlraSchteabkomraen vom 11. Deiember

wurde endlich, nachdem Deutschland seine Teilnahme an

weileren Verhandlungcn von der vorherigen Anerkenntnls

seiner Cleichberechtlgung abhlngig geraachl hatte, das Ve^

siumnis der Konferenz nachgeholli Deutschland Ist als

gleichbercchtigt anerkannti EInstweilen allerdlngs nur von

(incr Anzahl CroBmlchte; aber unter Ihnen beflndet sich

Frankreich, der eigentliche Trlger des Widerstandes, der

sich bishcr gegen die Anerkenntnls der deutschen Gleich-

berechligung erhoben hatte. Man bemSht sich augenbllck-

lich in Frankreich, den Erkllrungen vom lI.Dezember

nachtriglich wieder einen elnschrlnkenden Sinn lu geben;

aber dies verraag an dem feststehenden Wortlaut nlchl mehr

2u indern.

Trotz des Genfer Dezemberfortschritts Ist es nach wie vor

hSchst unwahrscheinlich, daB auf der Konferenz ein brauch-

hares AbrSstungsabkomraen zustande kommen wIrd. MJEtc

Deutschland auf ein solches warten, wJrden wir wohl fir

linnier wehrlos bleiben. Nichtsdestowenlger Ist der nkhste

KofcrcnzabschnitI von hSchster Bedeutung fdr Deutschland.

Dcnn er wird so gut wle slcher den Beweis erbringen„daB

Frankreich gar nieht daran denkt, von seinem JbermlSig

hohen Ristungsstand auch nur einen Kampfwagen oder ein

schweres CeschOtz, oder ein Militlrtlugzeug, oder ein Unte^

seeboot aufzugeben. Nun haben sich aber die fOnf Mlchte

England, Frankreich, Itallen, Deutschland und die Verei-

FROM; HEF

A day or so ago I had occasion to look up forjBomeone what the library had on the ! W^^ W* Mo8t of thetaaterials we have on that organization were ^art of acollection turned over to us after the last war by theDepattment of Justice* Apparently these materials werecollected as evidence by the Department of Justice duringthe warJ and when t he war was over and the espionagecases were disposed of, the Department had no use forthese materials and turned them over to us* I thinkthis was done through Larxy Riohey*

Do you suppose it would be possible for Larryor someone else to approach J* Edgar Hoover to find outwhether there are similar materials relating to subversiveorganizations active during the recent war^ and whetherthese materials are now declared surplus and are subjectto destruction, end whether they might be turned over tous 2

Since you are closer to the scene of operations^could you make some Inquiries? If you want me to makeany official requests, I shall, of course, be glad to do

Mason and Mr. .Hoover apparently have confidence in Louis Lochner andPerrin Galpin, 1 see no jieed to furnish infornaation on thexn. MargaretBourke White has no connectioi^ith the Hoover Library so there is jio needto mention her.

It would be my recomnmendation that I mention highlights of

Iinfornaation on Rothwell to Mason. We have not investigated Rothwe11,

there is notmuch of a specific nature on hina. He was close to Hiss andcan be best described on the basis of our infornaation, as a liberal educatorwho has associated with the liberal crowd.

rank'Mas'Prltnk'Mason who was passing through town came in to see me on

the afternoon of May 24th and expressed some concern about the Hoover Xibrary.

\

5.of his personal friendship for Herb^ft^Hoover when Mai2i;;^erner'got-access to

several papers in 1946. Following this he talked to Mr. Tamm and asked Mr. Tamm

Itobe on the lookout ior anything that tied in to the Hoover library which would protect

the former President and which the former President sljouldJcnow.about. Mr. Titi^m

Itold him he ^ould be glad to^ be on the alert.#" \-^'t.L

He then^tated that the chief source of his concern now is -an

individual by thejgame ogkothwell. ^e coxild not xecall Rothwell's first ixame.

He stated that JoeOPanuch in aiettex dated March 6, 1946, which was introduced

on theiloor of the Senate by Senator Homer Ferguson in 1948 referred to Rothwell,

Alger Hiss and others and referred to Kothwell as being the number two man in the

Alger Hiss group.| |

and Frank Mason in 1949 while having lunch with

Senator Ferguson told Fexguson that he was duty bound to show the letter to Herbert|

Hoover since when Ferguson put the letter into the record he omitted certain names^ j

Mason then stated that Rothwell went into the Hoover iibralry at Stanford through V^He further stated that Rothwell, while in the State JDepartmfent, ^^

however, was told by Par,

to H^jaJ.£ish^er^ the.libra

alpixi^^fio^is very clo'se to Herbert Hoover as well as ^ian, that .Rothwell was doing a good job and that everything^

was all Tight at the Library. Mason, however, has his doubts about Galpin since

y

i\

]was spying on the Hoover mission to India a few years ago and passing^

the information's to their activities on to Margret Bourke White , who furnished ^the information to somebody in the Associated Press, Sometime later Frank Mason «

called on Herbert Hoover and saw him veryimuch engaged in reading a report and «

his thought immediately came to the caclusion that Mr. Tamm had performed and o

that what Herbert Hoover was reading^as an FBI report. Hoover expressed some gconcern on this occasion for the Hoover Xibrary. , /./

^

Masoniurther asserted*thatiit^ Alger Hiss left the Statfe Department

he diverted $250, 000 of Carnfegie FoundationVmoney out of thef Xibrary which wasutilized by some proj^bt that Rothwell was interested in.

RE: HOOVER LIBRARYSTANFORD UNIVERSITYBERKEUEY, CAUFORNIA

JMason then came down to the point that Jeremiah Millbank,

I

who handles Herbert Hoover's finances, ard a group of friends were thinking

of honoring Herbert Hoover '^s 80th birthday which occurred on August 10, 1954,

by taking up a collection to endow the Library, which is a concern to Mason ashe does not want a group of Herbert Hoover^s friends to became embarrassed if

Rothwell or the JLibrary is bad. He further stated that Herbert Hoover himself did not

(want his friends to put any money into the Xibrary until they had gotten rid of H. H« v

Fisher and this was supposed to take place some time in the immediate future

through retirement.^ ^yj Q-^

He further related that he was favorably impressed wit

A-i Ja very talented young chap around 35 years of age who has 3^

charge of a West Coast foundation and has approxim^ately $600,000 to spendannuaHy. Mason went to took him to see Herbert Hoover a yearago and then got him to make a survey of the Hoover Library and its effectiveness.

In this survey everything that had been written was reviewed and cataloged, i.e. j^g

through cooperation of the Hoover Library, and was given a rating; as to how hic"pro-Soviet" the writing was. Herbert Hoover gave a copy of this summary to

JBert Mattei. When Mason heard of this he went to Herbert Hoover and cautioned

him about the possibility of libel and Herbert Hoover then got it back. JeremiahMillbank has advised Mason that Herbert Hoover insists that Rothwell is satisfactory.

Nothing cropjD^ up in the I I survey linking Rothwell with any writingsbut MasonA>6lieve that he was all rightif he was tied up with Hiss and that if

Rothwell was a good American, then Mason cannot understand why H. H. Fisherfishould hire him; that he feels that Rothwell was picked by Hiss for this job andliterally put in there. One of the projects Rothwell has worked out^as to put in ^a private telephone from the UN to the Hoover Xibrary for research purposes*.

Mason stated that he had nothing specific, but he felt that he should

get this offihis chest and this was the reason why he had come in to the Bureau.

He also wanted to express the hope that if there was anything wrongwith Rothwell that some way could be found to let Herbert Hoover know to

avoid embarrassment. I have asked Mr. Jones to check our files and identify ^Rothwell and see what we have.

Data on Stalin

**rhe cases yet to JtJe openedmay .give us Information onStalin^s and Lenin*s activitiesbefore the Revolution, andmay even corroborate a re-

cently published story thatStalin was once Jt secret Czari$t agent working against theBolshevists'.'' Prof. Swotakowski said. * ^^Sworakowski}pn^l0^ that

the' French branch of theOkhrana was set up in theParis Embassy in 1883. Withthe agents hiding behind diplo-

matic titles the office .expand-ed into a vast politijAl coun-ter^telligence headquarters,keeping surveillance over Rus*slan revolutionaries In France,England, Germany, Switzerland, 'It^ly, Austria and theScandinavian countries.

•*It is known -that the Okh^rana tased every means for Usends -r assassination, b^zXlngs

rsuasion, deportation to siria, street shadowing, cen

sorship, bribery, provocation.The files of the Paris branch,into which we are now digging& by box, document in detailS activity." he said,

^'•These files also detail po-lice measures against the Na-tionalist and Socialist move-ments of the Poles, Latvians,Armenians. Jews, Georgiansand other minority groups inRussia. All this should effecrtively destroy the Bolshevik^contention twit they alonewere persecuted by the Okh-rana, and we may turn up evi-

dence of double dealing bysome Bolsheviks against their|'

own colleagues.'txhose are some reasons,

why the present Soviet Gov^emment won't be happy aboutthis matcrtal coming to light*'

Xomments by ProfessorsICdilor's Xotc: The following

coninionts were given to the^Daily by various members of

Ithe factiUy and administration.

\l .am glad that the Trustees at

taoir meeting of March 17, 19G0,

have roaffirmed their belief' in

the prhieiplcs of free inquiry.

Although I was Acting Direc-

tor of the Hoover Institution at

the time, I knew nothing aboutJVIr. Hoover's revised statementof purposes or t!ie Trustees* vote

of May 21, 1959, until some timefafterward. Speaking as an indi-

vidual, I cannot agree with Dv.Campbell's views as quoted ibythe Daily.. I think a university

can best support the principles

of a free society and also of reli-

gion i)y an unfettered and objec-

tive search for truth.

Philip H. RhinelanderDean oflthe School ofHiimanitie5i and Sciences

The Hoover Library's new state*

ment of purpoie is certainly a' flagrant violation of the principle/^

tof research and scholarsht\in a modern university. It i

equally regrettable that the Uniyersity agreed to special arrange

'

jments exempting this Library) from the normal controls which4ho University exercises over its

libraries. The Hoover's new state-

ment of purpose makes Stanford'sloss of control (which is danger-ous enough) even more dangerousthan it would ordinarily be.

j

Otis PeaseAssociate Professor ^

of taistory

The statement of purpose of theHoover Institution is inconsistent

with the purposes oJt Stanford asa great university. Any organi-

zation of this University must beconcerned with finding truthrather than "demonstrating the

evils" of disapproved beliefs. Thestatement carries a connotation,

of thought control which can haveno place in a great university,

IVVJlliam >!. >fcCordAssistant Professorof Socioloicy

Several professors who did notwish to be quoted expressed asimilar opinion. One professorcalled the statement of policy

"a shocking perversion of whatought to be the academic aimsof such an institution." Anotherprofessor termed it "a completenegation of what tiiis' University

stands for." and said that the"Winds of Freedom don*t blowover there (Hoover Institution)."

He stated that he felt sure theviews were those only of that

octogenarian to whom ho hadreferred (Hoover) and his friends.

Several of the professors talkedto expressed a willingness to signa petition to register their- dis-

approval if one were circulated.

interview With SterlingBy Stovp FreUlherg, EditorIn an interview \yi(h the Daily

yesterday. President WallaceSterling said that the statementpassed by the Board of Trusteeson March 17, repiinted on thispage, includes the correct versionof Paragraph 1 of the Trustees'resolution of May 21; 1959, onHoover Institution.

The Paragraph 1 quoted in yes-

terday's Daily as "IncorporatedMr. Hoover's statement (review-ing the haokground and the pur-

pxses of the Institution) as giveni|: the preceding pages" was is-

s led unilaterally by Mr. Hooverlast year. The document in whichthis erroneous paragraph, .ap-peared was brought 40 tho atten-tion of the President and Boardof Trustees only two months ago,Sterling statedAHe said that theactual resolution of the Board ofTrustees is now being madeknown in order to correct anymistaken impressions.

The Trustees included in theirstatement a clarification of theirintentions and a reaffirmation oftheir desires for academic free-dcyn nf, Sijinford.

Sterling also emphasized that

I

control of Hoover Institution Is

still retained by the President andBoard of Trustees.Although the appointment of

the Director of the InstltutioUpaccording to the Trustees' resolu-tion, has to be approved by Mr.Hoover, the President and theTrustees must assent to all re-search projects, appropriationsof funds for the Library's collec-tions, and appointments to thestaff of the Institution. This,Sterling pointed out, eliminatesthe possibility of these projectsjjand collections being used by thcjiDirector for any particulai- ideollogical purpose.The present Director, under th.

Trustees' resolution, has only administrative tenure, whereas theformer director, C. Easton Roth-well, had academic tenure. Ster-ling declined to give a reason forthis change of policy.

He said that the present Direc-tor, Westley G. Campbell, has in-

dicated that he understands fullythe meaning of Paragraph 1 ofthe Trustees' resolution and theTrustees' intention that the Li-brary be operated on the principleof academic freedom. / i

What Are the Purposes?l'rosi*li>nl Slcrliiij: lias miule il oloar in air interview willi iho

D.'iilj' (hat ulliinate oonlrol of the Hoover Inslihitioii re?lft in llie

Prosi<Ionfs OfFire and i\u\ BoanI of Trnsleoji,

Booanso the I'rosidenI approves all expendiliircs, research

projVrts, and appointments within the histitntion, it appears that

he is vested with power to overs^ee the actions; of the director of

t!u: histitntion in these areas.

Implicit in President Sterlinj^'s statement is a request for the

eonfKlence of Stanfoh! faculty aJid studenli* in the President's

Odire for the correct administration of the Hoover Insliftilion

lhn)n«j;hou( Mr, floover's life.

\\V, cpiestion, however, the effieacy of the President's control.

The director of the Hoover Institution has heen and must he

approved hy Mr. Hoover.

According to the Trusitees' statement of May 21, 19f>9, the direc-

!or nnist also redect the "purt>oses" of the Institution. (.

To date only Mr. Hoover has issued a statement of "purposes!

or the Institution. Acconlinj: to President Sterling, the Board oil

iVustees would have us helieve that their delineation of the Insti»

tulionV operating policy and control suffices for their statement

of "purposes/^

In this niaze we fail to see a clear exposition of the Trustees'

conc<»pt of the Hoover Institution's "purposes." We do see fromthe interview with present director Dr. Westley Campbell in yes-

lerdayV Daily that he agrees with Mr,^ Hoover's statement of

''puri>oses."

The elTeet of this agreement might well he the prejudicial

suppression of some of the invahiahle documents in the Hoover.Institution's collection.

We helieve Mr. Hoover's statement of "pur|)oses" is a flagrant

\iolation of academic freedom, and that it is detrimental to

Stanford's reputation in the aeademio world.

WV therefore feel that the Hoard of Trustees' has an ohliga^

tipnnttr-TfJake its statement of "purposes" clear.^ *"'

Statement of Trustees

'

At Us mooting of February 16,

1960. tlie Advisory Board of the

Academic Council of StanfordUniversity adopted the following

statement:The pamphlet quoting action

of the Hoard of Trustees in con-

nection with the policies of the

Hoover Institution has recently

come to the attention of membersof the faculty.

Some features of this action

are inconsistent with the tradi-

tional policies of Stanford Univer-

s ty with regard to freedom of

U C|uiry and scholarship. There-fiire a number of members of the

f.'lcuUy wish some kind of 'posi-

tive statement from the Board of

Trustees reaffirming Stanford's

dedication to freedom.At its meeting of March 17.

1900, the Board of Trustees of

Stanford University, after careful

consideration of the statement ofFebruary 16, 1960, of the FacultyAdvisoiy Board, adopted the fol-

lowing statement:The Trustees Would like to call

attention lo the actual wording of

Paragraph 1 of their resolution.

Jt i^a>j

^ follows ;^

''The Trustees feel that there

should be in their records a state-

ment of the scope, the importanceand the purposes of the HooverInstitution. To this end Mr. Hoov-er has prepared for them the fol-

lowing statements:"

The Trustees believe it is en-

tirely proper and desirable to have

in the official record ojf the Uni-

versity and as a preface to andseparate from the resolutions onoperating policies a fjtatemerjt

concerning the desires and aspirJ-

tions of the man who founded thb

great Insiitution which bears hii

name and who, by untiring wornduring his lifetime, has personally

been so largely responsible for

the great collections which havebeen made there available for the

scholars? of the.workK

The Trustees did not contenj-

plate that Mr. HooverV statementwould be interpreted as university

policy or as an abridgement of

flee inquiry. They stand for the

principle, that academic freedomin the highest university tradition

is expected to prevail throughout

Stanford., /

A Note of Regretp^Today'.-^ arliolt* on (he Hoover Institution raises important

hHw?> wliifli niut*l he examined by all the moinbors of tho Stan-

ford oonununity.

The Hoover Institution has hoen the spiritual and material

ohihK of Herhorl Hoover. Along with liis work on the Belgian

Relief Fund, the Hoover Institution is a lasting tribute to Mr,

Hoover's broad and creative contributions to Knrope as well as

this country.

The vahie of the Hooven Institution with its tremendous col

lection of docunienis can be appreciated only when one realizes

the wlnileisale destruction of Itislorieal doeinnenis dtiring the

first and second world wars.

IMaced in the unique position of possessing the only extant

copies of ll>o\isands of international documents, the Hoover Insli

tulion hears the heavy responsibility of preserving these docu

men Is for tlie purposes of international scholarship.

.^ Such a responsibility requires of the Institution's admhiis?

irilion both an active and a passive role. The Hoover Institution

ntnst be relentlessly active in the acquisition of all document*

wliicji are pertinent to its collections.

However, passivity is also inherent Jn any institution which

assumes the responsibility of an international repository. Tiie

Hoover Institution has no righl to predetermine the goals of

scholarship. It can have, no other *'purpose" or "goal" than to

facilitate the qualified scholar in his search for the documents

necessary for him to formulate his own opinion.

Such has always been the "goal" of any honest academic i,nsti

tulion. Such must have been the basis for Mr. Hoover's far-sighteil

work in collecting <Iocumenls after World War I.

For this reason we are surprised and sincerely regret Air.

Hoovers recent statement tying the goals of the Hoover Institu-

tion to jhft "purposes of the American people," and the exposure

of *'lhe evils of the doctrines of Karl Marx^^whether Communism,.Socialism, economic materialism, or atheism," a statement which

ilagrantly violates all the principles of. scholarly investigation

written by an acquaintance .of

Ideals and institutions cherished

I in the United States including^ its

S form of constitutional govern-' ment and principles of economlQ

The Rublicati (n of this article

strongly sugge^ fed that' 'the hewgoals of the rfbover* Institutionwere being broadcast elsewhererather nibre heartily^than on theStanford campus, * When . ques-tioned, Campbell said that Hoov-t(^ had been using his statement cC;

pjurpose to solicit funds in hmxvcent money raising campaign iiv

ti e East but pointed out that mo^'oV the money 'did not^come fromHoover's friends but from founda-tions such as tiie FieishmannFoundation.

When asked if the institution

was still getting money from theFord Foundation, Campbell said

no. But he expressed confidencethat money would not^ J^e scarcewhen the research and publication*

program got going. , • ,,.

This -tt^hple .development is a.;tn6s.t interesting one . It.is^periiaps the first time that an institution .of this jdnd, Jii- the.heart of the

I

academic;world,', has been ^pn' backirom the left wingeris. I knowDr. W. Glenn Campbell to be.a'lirilliantyoung man, very learned,courageous, and determined to -^ake this^Institutibn established, byHerbert Hoover serve, the.cause 61 traditional American viewpoints ;and.notthe viewpoints, of left-wingers. Further, Mr. Herbert Hoover andDr.. Campbell are.fully agreed thai the,Institution must ho longer bemerely a library with some limited research .being done;, but must be

I

a genuine; ;research, instit^tion turning;out scholarly documents,which willhave -an.impact upon the. .thinking of American.leaders m business, publiclife, science,- and education. The.Listitution has,set for; itself a,truly

^ noble objectiyeand the .efforts' which it will make.tp achieve theobjectives .should' beioilpwed .with .considerable interest by all whosupport American principles as opposed .to left wing doctrines.

The ,Hoover Institution hopes to offset.by its.^studies.some of.the Fabian socialist.thinking,which.has*seeped into the minds of someAmerican leaders as thexesult of.research done,by the. internationalCenter at Massachusetts institute of.Technology and .by others of asimilar political orientation.

BACKGROUND ';

The. "^an- Francisco "Examiner" of 3-31-i60 contained an article.- "Stanford

I connection with a, statement .he made^ relating to Stanford University's Hoover -Institution

Ito the effect that the purpose of this Institution is to demonstrate the evils, of Karl Marx.

The' statement was attacked by some students and faciilty groups whodeclared that it was, a violation, of academic freedom. Dr. W. Glenf^CampbeU, .i)iEgfit(^

oLthe^HiJOKerJhstitationyrelated that he could- see npthing wroiig/wij;^ former President

Hoover'Vstatement as to the aims of. the Institution.

Dean Philip H. Rhinelander of the."captioned school,, speaking as an

findividual, was quoted as follows concerning Hoover's statenaent : "I think the university

I can best support the principles of a,free society and also of religion by unfettered and

Iobjective search for truth.

Jones to IDeLoach Memo Re: Dean Philip H. Rhinelander 4-7-60

INFORMATION IN BUHLES:

The Bureau has not investigated Rhinelander. The only reference

identical withMm is a newspaper clipping from the "Bosjton Globe" of 5.-20-53. Thisarticle relates to the. fact that Harvard Universiity retained three instructors who refused

to answer Congressional c[u:estions on commimism because they were not members of the

Communist Party at the, time the questions werp being asked. Several members of

Harvard University's faculty were questioned as to their reaction tO the school's decision

1 to retain the three teachers and Rhinelander was quoted as follows: "I have a feeling that

' the decision was a very thoughtful and wise one — and in my opinion it was a very goodone The general lilies laid down by the decision, i. e. , that.each cjase was. to bedecided on its own merit's and that each decision be based on personal' consideration are

very sound. . ... I certainly think that Harvard's, decision will be taken, into account by other

( universitie's, ev^ii if it is:not followed. " (94^1-1005)

Dr. W. Glenn Campbell, Director of Hoover Institution, is. a personal

acquaintance of Inspector W. C. '.Sullivan. Our files contain no pertinent information

regarding him. (62-72042-17)'

Also my text (WSS)on page 13, following Mr. Hoover's statement could be eventuallychanged so as not to repeat V7hat Mr. Hoover said.

I hope that you are acquainted xd-th "script slang." "Narrator topsWalecki" means that we see the picture of Walecki but hear the voiceof the narrator. The parts of Trotsky, Lenin, and Stalin are insertsof film clips from previous programs.

I have to confess that I delayed this letter too long. We are filmingthe main parts of Program No. 11 on December 16 (Friday) and I willtake the liberty of calling you by phone on Thursday, in order toobtain the answer whether or not Mr. Hoover agreed to participatev/ith his statement. We would have to know because of timing arrangementsduring the filming.

Enclosed is a photocopy of the "Rules for Underground Party Work" asprinted in the Moscow edition of the Communist International. Do youhave in the Bureau an American reproduction of a later date? I would L"

like to mention in the program when it was last printed?^ I havea four-page leaflet produced in 1932 or 1935 - but perhaps i:here /l/lA h ^is something published later? I would appreciate Uifovmatxc^^'-riits^/mC^ ^J^^together with an answer from Mr. Hoover. ^^

COVER IN^ITUT'TONON WAR, ilEVOLUTION. AND PEACE

Stanford University, Stanford, California

December 9, 1960

Mr. J, Edgar HooverDirectorFederal Bureau of InvestigationPennsylvania and 9th Avenues, N. W*Washington, D, C.

Dear Mr. Hoover: \

The Educational Television Station KQED is producing a series ofthirteen half-hour programs entitled "The Red Myth; Communismfrom Marx to Khrushchev." It will be released by 45 educationalTV stations.

Because of the unpopularity of the round-table discussions amongtelevision audiences, this program is conceived as a dramatized *

documentary where actors repeat words as originally spoken orwritten by Marx, Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, etc. Ten programs willdeal exclusively with the history of communism and its practicalapplication in the Soviet Union; one will deal with the CommunistInternational, another with communism in the United States, andthe last will, be a wrap-up in which we x^ill interview four prominentformer communists. The program on communism in the United Stateswill attempt to show in a half-hour presentation that the CommunistParty in the United States is a conspiratorial organization working inthe interest of the Soviet Union.

IV

This entire series and its dramatized concept was initiated by meand I am the historical consultant who supervises the authenticityof the documentary material and the truthful presentation of events.We try to present facts, and facts will naturally not be favorableto the spread of communism but will show up its pernicipus; character

.

Station KQED authorized me to ask you whether you would agree toparticipate in the program on communism in the United States. Wewould like to obtain from you a short statement on the true strengthand danger of communism in the United States. This^ statement vt^^djiJ^.fbe filmed in your office and should take ai

Muiilii;nute:^ fi6t

is the script of the program dealing with^<?;^lffuSi^2S*the*«Uni'States which \d.ll acquaint you with the way the program is presented.I should like to mention that I was able to discusggt^^naif^OwthMr. Belmont and Mr. William Sullivan from the Bureau. _^

^U'^ \I hope that you will feel favorably disposed tox^ard this undertaking \

,]t V and will gi{ve us a fexi minutes of your time.

.teaching staff, History Department, .^ the San Jose State College, San Jose, California.

In addition, he is. associated with thg-goover Institution of Stanford University doing

research work for thatt'nstitution. fie advised that histripto Wiashingtoii was the result

Mr. Burdick stated that he is currently doing research for the Hoover.Institution on the infamous Zimmerman Note. You will recall that the Zimmerman Note

was an offer sent in cryptographic form from.the German Foreigh Ministry in Berlin

in January, '1917, to the German Ambassador in Washington. The message was to be

forwarded to the German Ministry at Mexico City. It advised that Germany intended

to- begin unrestricted submarine warfare. It offered Mexico analiance if Mexico would^

declare war on the United States, and in the event they were successful, Mexico was to

recover lost territories in Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. The message wasintercepted and deciphered by British intelligence, furnished to President Wilson^

and later given to the press in the United States. It is thought to have been one of the

direct means of bringing the United States into World War I against Germany.

In February, 1917, according to research completed by Burdicky' a'

woman, 01ga.de Visser and a male companion, Heinrich Kolbeck, were.arrested bythe _Border~Patrol at Laredo,. Texas. They were later interrogated by Immigrationand Naturalization officials in Texas. Burdick' s research has indicated that de Visserwas an AuM'rian agent (Austria at the time was, of course, one of the Central Piiwers

the Department of Justice section, he has located documents.goertaining to the de Vis^er

case. This file indicates that documents numibers 14, 15 and 16 in Department of

Justice file number 9-5-231-7 were withdrawn by the Bureau in February 6|:.1922.

Burdick* s visit to the Bureau was to see if we could locate these documents and if so,

could they be made available to him,,

Burdick was advised that because of the confidential nature of our files,

it could not be stated at the time of the interview whether or not such information, if

in our possession, could be made available to him. He was informed that we wouldsearch our files in an^attempt to aid Mni arid' that should the material be located, a;

determination ^ould be^made at that time as^ to wliether he could have the benefit of

this data.

INFJDRMATIQN IN BUFJLES:

An. exhaustive search has been made of Bureau indices and files. It is

to be noted that this material concerns the World War I era and many of our files

pertaining- to^that period are- extremely sketchy. It has been determined that there areno references to the Department of Justice file indicated above, located at .the NationalArchives., There are no indications in our files that we have the documents which areindicated to have been remoyed-by the Bureau of Investigationin February, f922. Theold^German files- have been thorpugi^y reviewed and there is no indication in them that

we have the material Burdick seeks; however, our files do confirm the arrest of

de Visser and Kolbeck. Accbrdihg to; our files, when Kdlbeck and deVisser werearrested, they had in their possession secret documents in code for delivery to analleged Central Powers Agent who resided at San; Antonio, Texas. They also had in

their possession a key to the code for thermessages they carried. There is no indication

that these messages were the ^Zimmerman Note.

INFORMATION: IN BUFILES^CONgERNING HOOVER INSTITUTION:

The Hoover Institution, formerly known as the Hoover Library on War,Revolution and Peace, was. founded after World War I. It has over 25 million recordsof wair,. revolution, etc. , from the early 1900* s to the present date. The presentDirector of theJnstitution, Dr. W. Glen Campbell, is a personal acquaintance of

Inspector W. C.« Sullivan, and has indicated he intends to make the Institution serve thecause of traditional American viewpoints. We have had good relations with theInstitution in the past.

Bufiles contain no-identifiable data concerning Burdick.

OBSERVATIONS:

la view of the fact that we have enjoyed cordial relations with the HooVer

Institution, it is believed that we should advise Burdick of the fact that the data he

inquired about could not be located, tt is also believed that we should offer him further

assistance in this matter, should our help be again required.

RECOMMENDATION:

The attached letter to Mr. Burdick advising him that a search of our

"^ files fails to reflect any material which might assist him be approved and forwarded.

Of all the places I have ever served, which coversa considerable number of the outstanding universities of thecovmtry, this is the v/orst as far as the over-liberal leaningsof the faculty at Stanford and the University of California,^and I know that you are of the ,same opinion

.

I thought it might be an item of interest, the factthat a Stanford graduate contact of this office who is engaged^;;*in soliciting funds from alumni, recently made the point that^*he has been running into very substantial people who have de-cMned to contribute because of the Universities' retentionof professors who are critical of the HCUA and similar proponents.

Specifically, he mentioned [ ]

[of Hills Bros* coffee, and MAX ROSENFELD, age 87.i. wealthy

retired engineer and Stanford classmate of Ex-President HERBERTHOOVER. He stated that ROSENFELD advised him that he and hiswife and an unnamed friend had changed from their wills a totalof over half a million dollars that they had originally intendedto grant Stanford from their estates upon their deaths as aresult of this feeling.

*• '^

Z"' I might mention also that confidentially we areadvised that W. GLENN CAMPBELL, the Director of the HooverInstitute at Stanford, has stated that HERBERT HOOVER also isdoing this on the same basis and instead is not only giving hisown funds, but recommending that of others, be given to theHoover Institute in order to combat this feeling.

Memo F. W. Wailcart'to Mr. Tavel

Re:. Request for- Justibe'DepartmentFHe -Containing FBI 'E>ata

which will not,be furnished; to,Burdick; Mr.. Di Girolanio agrees with.'this decision.

The.questioiriiowever is.whether or not theBureau.has-any bbjection.to.the release

,of th^ balance, of the file and what, if any, record we may have on the .missing

' serials 14 through- 16 which were pr.esumably returned, to the Bureau- in 1922.

A check.of the Bureau's files reflets that in£anuar^^^^^ Burdick,. who

' . was still with- the^Saii Jose State College,ywas also repiytieuUngmie-^dver:

/^ Institution_of Stanford.University, contacted the Bureau in anv< effort to ascertain the

identity of document'number.44, 15 and 16in,;this*same4ile. Burdick, at that-time,

pointed out, that.he was. doing-i'esear'ch^for the Hoover Institution on.the >Zimmefniah

Note. The ZimmermanjNote.was an^offer sent in cryptographic fofnffrom the

German Foreign.Ministr.y in Berlin in JTanuary, 1917, to the German Ambassador

.in Washington.,iritended -for' forwardih^^to the German Ministry in Mexico .Gity: It

advised that Germany intended »tdbegincunrestricted submarine warfare, and offered

Mexico an alliance if they.would^declarewar: oh the-United States. The message was

intercepted.and decipher.ed.by British-intelligence,, furnished to president Wilson

and later given to .the.press^of ;the' United^States. It is .thought.'tO"have been one of

the direct means-of bringing the United Stktes;into World War I against Germany.

Burdick was seeking.to ascertain whether the Visser wpman> Identified in our

records as-Olga de Visser, at the time she was apparently^arr:ested in Laredo,

Texas, carried'a copy of'the-Zimmerinan Note. 'He had^conducted extensive

research atethe;,Pentagon,and.'National^Archives-.where^he:had reviewed the attached'

file which he is now-iequesting a copy .of! Without committing.'ourselves. to'

Burdick, avthoroughsearchnwas'made.for this materiaian 1961 withjiegatiye

results. Ouriiles.do reflect however, that.the de;Visser woinan was,, dh-factf;

affested with a "male, companion and,,' at.the.tim.e,. had.:in;their possession secret^

documents in.code;for.deiivery to-an.alleged Central' Powers agerit who. resided.in

without reflectingiany data, concerning' the.: missing serials;

Since. the,attached Justice' Department-file contains exclusi^dyJustlce

Department correspondence, ,the two< serials relating to the FBI having been .removed,

it would appear that;we could interpose.no. valid- objection to the r<elease,,of a, copy

to Mr. Burdick.. Accordingly,' it is recommended that we 'advise Mr; Di Girolamo

DMemo F. W. Waikart to Mr. Tavel

Re: Request ior Justice DepartmentFile Containing FBI Data

that we have no objection to the release of theiile to Burdick as presently

constituted, and further that a thorough search, has already been made of our

records for Burdick concerning missing serials 14 through 16 withnegatiye

results, and that there.is no objection on our part to also reminding Burdick

of thisfact and that he was so advised by letter on 1-18-61..

The recordings I shall hope to get in interviews Hi

shall seek with many acquaintances durijig this ^

three-year program will be transcribed and, after -

reading and approval by the persons interviewed,will be deposited in the Herbert Hoover PresidentialLibraiy at West Branch and the Hoover InstitutionrpnWar, Revolution and Peace at Stanford.

The hope is they may be made available to. scholarsat the earliest possible time but, of course, eachperson who contributes to our program will have theright to make such time stipulations as he sees fit.

We have a modest grant for technical and secretarialseryiees and ^travel; I myself serve without compen-sation and am grateful I am able to cio so.

Mr* William €• SullivanAssistant DirectorFederal Bureau of InvestigationWashington, D» C»

Dear Bill:,

We have been experiencing difficulties in securing many ofthe materials and subscriptions necessary for the researchon the project which I direct, the YEARBOOK ON INTERNATIONALCOMMUNIST AFFAIRS^ It is quite clear that the sources ofCommunist publications simply do not honor official requestsfrom the Hoover Institution, probably because they know ourattitudes and opinions, and certainly because they have readour publications • In short, to order a subscription to agiven Communist or suspect periodical in the name of theYEARBOOK is quite literally the kiss of death.

Therefore, we came up with the idea of using an artificialname, Paul Richards, and took ^a post box at the Stanford postoffice in his name. We took the further step of running aditto letterhead with an artificial title, the "Study Groupto Combat Imperialism/' Our "Paul Richards" is "Chairman" ofthe organization.

Since beginning to use this letterhead, we have had lightning-rquick responses from several Afro-Asian pro-Communist organ-izations, and our subscription situation has improved remark-ably. Of course, we do not stipulate that our "Study Group"is designed to combat Communist imperialism ; whatever assumptionsour addressees make are their own.

However, I thought it best to inform you of the mode of operation,and to eliminate any unnecessary work in tracking down the organ-ization should it somehow be noticed and taken for a new Cgripnunij

front group. For your convenience, I am enclosing xerox rapiee' *v

of this letter and i)lank copies of the letterhead, which yPp>mi3^ "7 >^^care to circulate to the appropriate persons. At times fflAjjL/fpfg ^ „^.^

of economical operation and the collecting of

valuable information. Indeed, the material

already recorded enlivens the prospect that

recollections still to be obtained will comprise

a, mass of significant political, social and

economic information which will enrich and

flavor the work of historians who in the years

to come will seek an appraisal of the works of

Herbert Hoover and of Herbert Hoover, the

HERBERT HOOVER

ORAL HISTORY PROGRAM

J^A Project oj

Institute for Social'Science Research'

herbertmveriresidential library

JheIhoover Institution on War,

^iKevolution AND Peace

b 6 6 a

THE Herbert Hoover Oral History Program

was initiated twenty months after the death

of Mr. Hoover. Preliminary work commenced

in August 1966 and the first mterviews were

recorded in late September of that year.

As of this date sixty-five interviews have

been recorded and nearly one hundred car-

tridges of one-hour tape have been used. It is

anticipated that over a projected three-year

period more than three hundred persons may

be interviewed if funds suffice.

The Program initially was financed by an

anonymous foundation grant of $30,000 in

installments of $10,000 in each of three years.

This grant is being matched by contributions

from individuals, other foundations and organi-

zations, thus providing $20,000 in each of three

years.

The grants and contributions are made to

The Institute for Social Science Research, a

wholly tax-free organization which is sponsor-

ing the program for the benefit of The Herbert

Hoover Presidential Library, West Branch,

Iowa and The Hoover Institution on War,

Revolution and Peace, Stanford, California.

Raymond Henle, a former Washington

newspaper correspondent and radio news editor

of long experience, a friend of Mr. Hoover and

a member of the Advisory Board of The

Hoover Institution, was designated Director

of the Program. Mr. Henle serves without

compensation.

The purpose of the Program is to record the

recollections of persons who knew Mr. Hoover

in any of the various stages of his public life,

so that there may^ be deposited in the two

Hoover libraries information which may not

be available in written or published works and

records already in those libraries, or which will

significantly enrich or supplement the written

or published documents.

'The Program seeks, among other things, to

inquire into the human side of Mr. Hoover's

operations and into the humanity of Mr.

Hoover himself, as this often was obscured

by his personal predilection and by political

machination,

The Program also seeks unknown facets of

his family life and welcomes recollections of

Mrs. Hoover, herself a person of intellectual

attainment whose influence on the life of her

husband is indicated but not adequately

understood.

While the number of persons who have

first-hand information of Mr. Hoover's relief

operations during and after World War I, and

of the Cabinet and Presidential years, is dunin-

ishing, there are many who knew him in his

post-Presidential years and his Elder Statesman

years.

There also are many with rich memories

of his work as Chairman of the two Hoover

Commissions which investigated organization

m the United States Government during the

Truman and Eisenhower administrations, and

of his monumental efforts to relieve misery after

Worid War II as a relief emissary of President

Truman.

Mr. Hoover's interests were widespread and

his life touched those of literally mfllions of

persons of every race and creed. His impulses

to improve the physical well-being of his fellow-

men were so strong that it is obvious there

still are livmg many scores of persons who

remember the objectives and methods of these

operations.

At present, because of the relatively modest

funds available for the Program, all interview-

ing is by Mr. Henle only. The procedure is

to take a tape recorder of unique design and

capabilities into the office or home of a

respondent, after correspondence,, phone calls

and even warm^up sessions have established a'

groundwork.

A valid transcript is made from the tape and

sent to the respondent with a copy for his

files. In due course his corrected original is

used to make a final copy for each of the

Hoover libraries for use by authorized his-

torians and students.

The Program itself has no plan to use the

material for any literary or other undertaking.

All respondents are asked to give a release

which insures ownership of tape and library

copies by the Hoover libraries, except that

respondents may make any stipulations on their

use as they may deem advisable. Thus far very

few such stipulations have been made, but any

such conditions will be honored scrupulously by

the Program, the libraries and their staffs.

The tapes are being preserved subject to a

future decision on their ultimate disposition,

and subject to the wishes of the persons giving

the interviews.

Beyond the broadest generalizations in which

the Director of the Program occasionally may

mdulge for purposes of acquainting interested

persons with the methods and purpose of the

Program, the confidential character of every

interview is zealously protected, and the

security of all the materials collected carefully

is maintained.

The Director presently has two aides,

Catherine J. Kenny, Assistant to the Dkector,

and MaryR Hurley, Transcriber. These three,

together eventually with officials of the Hoover

libraries, are the only persons familiar with the

recorded material.

As of this date not a smgle portion of the

recorded material has been discarded as useless

or meaningless or of any other doubtful value.

This, with the very-limited personnel engaged

near at hand for, a time before deposit-

ing them in the library of their choice

may place them temporarily in the Na-

tional Archives in Washington or in one

of the several Federal Records Centers

located throughout the United States.

In either case, donors will be given

facilities for personal use of their papers

as well as professional reference service

on them and reproductions of particular

documents among, them.

PRmDEMALLIBRARY

Q

THE careful preservation of papers,

records, and documents has'always

Been a distinguishing characteristic ot

great nations, for the archives of any

country are among its most valuable

cultural resources. Without them his-

tory cannot be written. When we pre-

, serve such materials we prove our com-

mitment to the values on which our

society has been built, and 'it is from

these materials that posterity will'mal^e

its judgments of our lives and times.

. These were the factors that led the

Congress, in 1934, to create the institu-

tion it called the National Archives,

which has since become the National

Archives and Records Service of the

General Services Administration. This

Service administers a nation-wide system

of depositories where there are preserved

and made available all classes of papers

and documents that are important for

the study of American history. This sys-

tem includes the four Presidential Li-

braries now in operation and the two

that are in process of aeation.

The Presidential Libraries Act of

1955 gave statutory recognition to the

special importance attached to the pres-

ervation of papers and other historical

materials of the Presidents of the United

States, together with the papers of their

associates and contemporaries. Bringing

into the National Archives system the

papers of the Presidents, and of the men

and women who helped them shape

national policies, makes the study and

understanding of a particular Presi-

dential era easier. As part of the National

Archives system these papers are admin-

istered by the same .agency that has

responsibility for the preservation' of-the

official records of our Federal Govern-

ment, which show how the decisions and

policies of a President and his advisors

were carried out..

The four Presidential Libraries now

in operation are:

• Herbert Hoover Library, West

Branch, Iowa

Franklin D. Roosevelt Library,

Hyde Park, N.Y.

Harry S. Truman Library, Inde-

pendence, Mo.

Dwight D. Eisenhower Library,

Abilene, Rans.

When completed, the John Fitzgerald

Kennedy Library at Cambridge, Mass.,

and the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library

at Austin, Tex., will also become a part

of the National Archives system.

The four existing Libraries, which

are, in effect, branches of the National

Archives, have proved to be important

centers of research and educational ac-

tivity both for the geographical areas in

which they are situated and for the en-

tire country. They contain not only the

papers and files of four Presidents of the

United States, but scores of collections

of the personal correspondence, diaries,

and other historical materials of the men

and women who served with them or

who played important public roles. The

Libraries also have large collections of

books and printed materials as well as

still pictures, motion pictures, and

-memorabilia that bear on the .historical

periods with which the Presidents, are

associated.

Presidential Libraries offer many ad-

'Vantages to persons confronted with the

problem of how best to preserve their

personal papers. Papers deposited in

them are kept intact as separate, named

collections. They are safe from the physi-

cal hazards that often beset'manuscripts

in private hands, for they are housed in

buildings scientifically designed and

equipped to insure their preservation.

They are in the care of a professional

staff specifically trained in the techniques

of preservation, arrangement, and index-

ing and fully conversant with recent

American history, so that intelligent

help or guidance can be given to all who

use them.,

Presidential Libraries are specialized

depositories whose holdings relate to

clearly defined eras and fields of study.

The archivists in charge of them mgive a higher degree of expert attention

to the papers under their care than can

be given in a depository whose holdings

range over a long span of time and

widely different fields of interest. And

the right of donors to place limitations

on the use of their papers is specifically

recognized by act of Congress. Such

restrictions, stipulations, and conditions

as donors choose to place on the use of

their papers are saupulously observed.

Because Presidential Libraries are a

part of the National Archives system,

persons who wish to have their papers

Dear Mr. Gilfix: . * .

Thank you for your letter dated- January 23 •, I would^have certainly answered it sooner'"but for the fa.ct that I received it just prior to my' leaving on a field trip from which '

^ I I have just returned.

^ I was most interested to learn of your program which seems quite unusual in regard to theapparent involvement that the Student Association has in this area. On the field trip to

1:f.

which I.referred, I had occasion to visit, the "University of Minnesota where their studenti:

I

association has an extensive program going in this area also. Aside frora ^theirs and apparr^.i' r .ently yours, I know of no other programs of such extenisve scope. I would, in that con-

^ Iection, if it would he possible, .to hear more fully about it.

r t

jAs to the undergraduate exchange to which I have made reference in the letter dated Sept-

;*

Iember 22, there seems to be more and more possibilities for it, as time goes by. That is.,

]^ i the Soviets seem to be genuinely interested in such a program, and I think that it is pos-

I

j

Isible to work out an undergraduate exchange. What is envisioned is a reciprocal exchange

j;i A which would work in practice the way that similar exchanges have been conducted with other*\r

;|countries, allowing for such differences as exist, in. local customs both on the campuses in

.1 the Soviet Union and on a particular campus in this coxuitry.

j^' As discussion has developed a broad outline of the way such an exchange would work has de

Iveloped. It would provide for one to three students from a Soviet University to spend one

Iundergraduate year at an American university and a similar number of American students fromj.

Ithat same university which received the Soviet students to send its students to the Soviet

;5.;• University. In this -respect it is truly reciprocal. The Soviet student, would have his

i|^ travel expenses paid by his university or actually the government, and the American stfi-dent would have to have his travel to and from the Soviet Union paid by him and for him.Otherwise all of the expenses of tuition, room and board, plus travel in the host country

|. vrculd be provided by the host country. Almost any course of study could be chosen by anAmerican student going to the Soviet Union; it. would not be limited to Russian studies, etc.|Provisions could be made to transfer the credit back to the home xmiversity depending uponthe normal operating procedures of the unilvcrsity participating. In the final analysis,details are worked out by the imiversity participating.

There really is so much more to say and .to discuss,^ although I have, I think, presented

Ithe main outline. If you haye^questions you^ could write them or if you want to discussthem, the phone number o^our organization is- at theitop. of .this page. I ajB: enclosing

-2—.

Mr* Michael Gilfix February 5, 1968

a copy of the brochure of the Student Division of the National Council of American-Sov-iet Friendship. It gives a more detailed description of the proeraii, especially as itrelates to students. There might be other ideas for your work contained in the brochure.Or perhaps you have some ideas that have not yet been considered which we might begin towork on, I really hope that some day in the not-too-distant future we could have a con-versation, I cm especialjcy anxious to have your reaction to our program and to the under-graduate exchange. What are the possibilities of Stanford participating in this exchange?I am- sure that the Soviet Union would be quite- happy to conduct an exchange vrith Stanfordsince it is certainly one of the most famous.American universities.

In the final analysis perhaps we will need to sit down together. In my travels, I have notyet oeen to California to meet with representatives there . VJe have to consider time andexpenses J but we do not want to ignore such an important area as California, certainly.What I am trying to say, that as soon as it is possible I would like to come out your way,

!.

The Council is not a membership organization, as such, but certainly we would welcome yourhelp and participation on our program, I am sure that you would have many valuable ideas "

that would help us with our program. At the present time, we are evaluating our program,especially in the student division to see where, we could make the most useful contributionto the cause of promoting American-Soviet Ericndhsip on the campuses. Having the adviceof someone who actiually work^and studies on the campus full-time vrould be most valuable,.

In fact we would like to set up a sort of advisory panel, which would advise and programin the academic area, generally, and I would certainly irelcome your participation. On thisadvisory committee, I 'would hope to have faculty and students.

Son of Herbert Hoover

tours Rockford CollegeBy RUTH MARSHALL

Morning Star Staff Writer

Allan Henry Hoover, son of

former President Herbert Hoo-

ver, made his first visit to Rock-

ford Wednesday, a surprise trip

to see Rockford College.

"I was passing through Chi-

cago on business," Hoover said,

"and I had heard so much about

Rockford College and wanted to

see it. So I called John McCarty

and came on out."

Hoover, a private business-

man in New York City, has long

been a friend of McCarty, assis-

tant to the RC president;

McCarty guided the visitor on a

tour of the campus and per-

suaded him to stay on for the

RC summer theater perform-

ance Wednesday night.

Hoover is a soft-spoken, re-

served man, in whose features it

is possible to see a resemblance

to his mother, the late Lou Hen

ry Hoover.

Unlike his father, probably the

most famous mining engineer

the world has ever known, andhis brother, the late Herbert

Jr., Allah Hoover said he is not

a mining engineer.

"I waL brought up in engineer-

ing," he said," and Tve been as-

sociated with many mining com-panies, but technically I'm not amining engineer because I don't

have the proper degree. I'monly a backyard engineer."

His graduate study was in

business administration^ at Har-

vard University's School of

Business, class of 1931. Walter

M. Colman, chairman of the

Barber-Colman Co. board, who

was in the same school about

the same time, was one of'those

who talked with Hoover Wednes-

day afternoon.

Hoover said he has never beenactive in politics, "I've, never

had the time," he said, "but I'ma voting Republican,"

He is active in affairs of the

Hoover Foundation. "It deals,"

he said, "with three of my fa-

ther's main interests ui later

years— the Institute on War,Revolution and Peace at Stan-

ford, the Presidential Library at

West Branchy and the BoysClubs of America."

Hoover said he had never vis-

ited West Branch, Iowa, his fa-

ther's birthplace, until 1934

when "my mother, brother andI," acquired the site.

He has made many trips there

since and is much interested in

the growth and development of

the Hoover area there, now aNational Historic Site, with the

presidential library operated bythe government.

"It's quite unusual," he said.

"It has my father's birthplace,

as well as the library, and both

my father and mother are bur-

ied there.

"They keep making improve-

ments tiiere," he said, "bringing

back more of the mid-Victorian

period it reflects. Everyone says

it has a great deal of charm."

The Hoover presidential li-

brary is going to be expanded,

he said. "They say they need

more elbow room."He's quietly proud of the con-

tinued interest in the 31st U.S.

president, 'reflected by tourists

visiting West Branch ^

'My Country Owes

Me No Debt'

Oa 'August 10, 1970, Herbert Clarfc

Hoover; Slst President of the United

States, would have been 96 years old. No

more fitting occasion could have been

chosen to announce the appointment of

John T. McCarty, Assistant to the Presl-

^ dent of RcKkford College in RoCkford.

t ^Illinois, a$ Executive Director of the

/Herbert Hoover Presidential LIbrwy' Association.

It^is anpropriate, too, that Mr. Mc-

' Carty will continue his functions at Rock-

^ ford College, since' both organizations

: are ' educational and their objectives* parallel one another by stressing self-

, reliance, personal responsibility and In-

dividual freedom.

One of the major objectives of the .

Herbert Hoover Presidential Library

Association is to help people to under-

stand the nature and value of our Amer-

ican ideals of freedom of choice, private

property and limited government which

enabled Herbert Hoover (and many oth-

ers) to reach truly great heights of a-

chievement. We have but to look about

us to recognize the great need, for such

understanding today. The one conmioncharacteristic of our so-called "dissident

youth" is an abysmal lack of knowledge

about this nation, its revolutionary ideals

and its promise for the future.

Herbert Hoover, born August 10, 1874

in West Branch. Iowa, of long Quaker

.—-^

3

ancestory ... his father, a blacksmitn,

died when Hoover was six , . . his

mother, a schoolteacher, died when he

was eight . . . raised by an uncle, acountry doctor in Oregon . . . largeJy

self educated, but gaining sufficient

scholastic ability to be admitted as a

member of the very first FreshmanClass of Stanford University in Cali-

fornia,

With absplutely nothing, "going for

him," Hoover went on to become an em-inently successful mining engineer, amember of two Presidential Cabinets *

and President of the United States. Dur-

ing the course of his life, Hoover lit-

erally saved the lives of millions of

people in this country and abroad,

through his philanthropic endeavors.

Yet Hoover said:' "My country owes

. me no debt. It gave me, as it gives everyboy and girl, a chance. It gave me school-

ing, independence of -action, opportunity

for service and honor. In no other land

could a boy from a country village, with-

out inheritance or influential friends,

look forward with unbounding hope. Mywhole life has taught me what Americameans. I am indebted to my country be-

' yond any human power to repay."

These are great words from a great

man. We wish the Hoover Presidential

Library Association every success in its

,program to proclaim the lessons to be

learned from the life of Herbert Hoover.

SUBJECT: HERBERII^aOyER ORAL HISJNQRYJgROgRAM^REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE

Raymond Henle, who is on theSpecial Correspondents^ Liston a first-name basis and for many years headed the NBC radio news program"Three Star Extra" but retired from broadcasting in 1965, has sent a boundcopy of material relating in the main to the Director's participation in theHerbert Hoover Oral.History Program. In addition, Mr. Henle sent forsignature a "Consent to Copy,right^^ form which would make this materialthe sole property of the^Herbert Hoover Presidential Library Association, Inc.

This form also indicates that permission is given to deposit copies of the

transcript in the Herbert Hoover Presidentia-rilibrar-y, West Branch, Iowa,and th^Hoover Institution oh War, -Revolution, and^Peace at StanfordUniversity. Although the materisil sent carries as^ address the

Hoover Institution on War,, Revolution, and Peace, the Consent form is ' /^accompanied with a return envelope addressed to Mr. Henle at Marco Island,

The bound materM?which,Mr. HenlesBms consists of cojUei

of a letter from the Director to Henle dat^d4ll/lO/^> and its enclosed state-

ment expressing the Director's recollections of former President HerbertHoover. In addition, Henle, for some unfathomable reason, includes^per-sonal correspondence frbmuformer Assistant Director Robert E. Wick^aswell as a resume of a telephone conversation which Henle apparently had'with

Mr. Wick. AH of these communications by Mr. Wick were apparently in

connection with Henle 's request for amplification of the statement given,

particularly in regard to President Hoover's role in the Director Is appoint-

ment. In essence, Mr. Wick suggested tiiat Henle use as a footnote a pertinent

passage regarding this matter from Don Whitehead's "The FBI Story.

"

Mr. Henle also includes, for some unexplained reason, in ttiiSrbound-mateeial

a copy of Jerry O'Leary's published interview with the Director which appearedin the 12/31/67 edition of the Washington Sunday .Star. 7 ^^^^ ^^'^ ^

^ Bufiles indicate that the aforementioned letteFand stalemenx,

for use in captioned Program, were approved and submitted to Mr. Henle byletter of 11/10/66. . .

Mr. Edward S, MillerAssistant Director

'~

Federal Bureau of Investigation9th 6c Pennsylvania, Room 1026Washington, D. C.

Dear Mr. Miller:

The January issue of the New Left Report will mark the end ofthis publication in its present form. The New Left has linked its

fate to the Vietnam war and "American imperialism" since 1965;virtually ignoring domestic affairs in the process* Consequently,the cease fire in Vietnam deprived the Movement of all but its mostdevoted follox^rers, and its principle issue

•

nM.

The New Left continues, but until its leaders discover another <^issue that will revive active campus or popular support, its ambitionslend themselves to a different kind of coverage. In the future,studies on specific aspects of the; Movement will be produced wheneverthe intensity of activity warrants a report. A few of the subjectsunder consideration are: high school Insurrection, radicals enteringelectoral politics, the organization of criminals behind bars forrevolutionary purposes, radicals in the professions, etc. These andother subjects are documented in the New Left Collection and I hopethey will continue to be of interest to you.

The January 1973 Report contains a notice of the discontinuanceof the regular monthly summary. I thought you should know that theHoover Institution has not diminished its coverage of this field. It

will add to the New Left Collection, keep abreast of current develop-ments and from time-to*^time publish accounts of radical activity as

Indicated above. / ^ s^ ^ ^. . ) nREC40 ^ "^ - '^'^ "

Dear Clarence:

This is to acknowledge your note of July 27thregarding the "1973 Yearbook on International CommunistAffairs" I believe this is a pretty good referencebook and as we put it out each year, I thought it wouldbe helpful to the Bureau and hence sent a copy to the

Intelligence Division and a copy for your library.

I do want to tell you that in my opinion, afterfumbling the ball, the administration has done theessential thing of appointing a man who will maintainthe high moral and ethical standards of the F.B.I* andabove all, will keep the Bureau out of politics.

Please be assured that I am in the Bureau's cornerout here and if there is anything I can do to help youor the Bureau, I will be ^^nly too glad to be of assistance.

The Honorable William WebsterFederal Bureau of Investigation

9th and Pennsylvania AvenueWashington, D.C. 20500

Dear Bill:

Within the framework of our Domestic and International Studies programs at

the Hoover Institution, the "Hoover Seminar" has been an occasion for

prominent guests in the executive ^ branch of government and oiir scholars tomeet and exchange views on current policy matters. With this letter, I wouldlike to invite you to participate in one of the Hoover Seminars, as yourschedule may permit.

We believe that the Hoover Seminar is playing, a major role in therelationship between scholars and the nation's decision makers, whose dialogue is

so crucial to responsible decisions in government today. Members of theadninistratioh who have participated in the Saninars thus far include, /among

f others, Edwin Meese III, Attorney General William French Smith and Secretary

Pl^^f Defense Caspar Weinberger.

The Seminar's format of an informal morning or afternoon discussion witL ...

the Institution's scholars is deliberately flexible. It is designed to afford o^v Jl'''^guests the opportunity to become acquainted with the Hoover Institution and Vo^^C^^^^^^^^i^

be a stimulating and enjoyable occasion.

Because the Hoover Institution is a non-profit organization, under Section501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, we understand that transportation herecan be made at government expense. Alternatively, it may be made at our

expense if our guest prefers. The Institution would pay air costs as needed for

lodging and meals of our guest and spouse (and the spouse's transportation).

We would be very pleased df you are able to accept our invitation, and it

iwould be a pleasure 'to welcome you to' the Hoover Institution.

With best wishes. /^f/..^**^ W\/f i

You have been very generous with the time^-that you havegiven both to the academic audiences and the San Francisco area.

I know of no overriding reason for you to work this into yourschedule this winter or spring. I do, however, agree that theInstitution is a worthwhile audience.

I recommend that we advise Mr. Campbell of your busyschedule through the spring and request some specific proposalsfor the fall or late 1983. If you agree, we will prepare a

suitable letter and Al Bassett will coordinate with San Franciscoand the Institute.

Mr. William WebsterDirectorFederal Bureau of InvestigationWashington, D.C.

Dear Mr. Webster:

I found your September 8th talk here at Hoover both very interesting

and enlightening. When you spoke the following day at the Law School,

I was the one who .asked if there had been any research on the, FBI

he's illuminating comparative study of the FBI and

le special agents doing PhD dissertations have re-besides

^

DEA. (if any of t

searched organizational aspects of .FBI operations or other .aspects

of interest to social scientists, I WQuld be most appreciative if I

could obtain the citations.)T, *

I myself have been researching: the U.S. Immigration Service over the

past 18 months, mainly with a view to understanding how the immigratjfc:

law is enforced .on a day-to-day basis and the dilemmas confronting INS

officers in the field

When I complete my study of the INS, I/would like to move to another

area of federal law-enforcement, thave an interest in the problems

Customs and the FBI confront in preventing high-technology theft and b6transfers to the eastern bloc, an important issue as you noted in your b7c

talk. Would it be possible for me to obtain access to FBI operations

in this area to learn more about this problem or is it too sensitive

an area for research by an outside scholar?

I look forward to hearing from you. Again^congratulations on a superbj^/r j

talk. / _ ^^ /j/'^jA/^A^ ^^Sincere^*?&^ - lad^^A

IMS Ani:! The America^Pubfiic:

What Each Needs ToKnow About The Other

By Edwin Harwood'Hoover Institution

During the past twoyears/iVe beenstudying how the INS enforces the

immigration law against foreign na-

.tionals living and working illegally

in the U.S. i became Interested in the

problem of illegal immigration in

summer 1 981 , because it had becomea major domestic polfcy issue. Also, I

believed it would interest the HooverInstitution, a thJnk ^t3nk at StanfordUniversity, and Improve rny chancesof obtaining a research fellowship. Bythe fall of '81. 1 decided TwoulcJ studythe IK'S after I had read the staff stu-

dies sponsored by the HesburghSelect Commrssloh on Immigrationand. Refugee Policy.* As :i read the

Hesburgh Commission report, I real-

ized that although "much had beenwritten about illegal immigration, fewscholars hadltaken an interest io how{mmigratioo law was being enforced^

After obtaining authorization fromINS Headquarters in WasHington, I

visited, a number of District Offices

and Border Patrol stations during

1382^ I interviewed and observedplainclothes investigators. BorderPatrol Agents and other INS special-

ists, 4o learn what they did and theproblems they had to grapple with in

trying to enforce a law which manybelieve is second only to the federal

r-h^^co'6e in its complexity. Understand-ing hot just the Immigration andNationality Act but the federal caseJaw that has developed over the years -

(vAVich i've yet to fully achieve), in

regard to all of the Act's many provi-

*sions, is crucial for understancJingthe problems INS officers face. Thus,for example, one has to understand

'10 INS fteporter/Sprlnj ?9e3

the federal case law to know why an1-130 petition, in which fraud is sus-

pected might still have to be approvedby the Service because of tjie diffi-

culty the investigators will face in

proving "fraud from inception".

Court cases relating to FourthAmendment "search and seizure"issues are alsoJmportant to know in

order to understand the procedures,

INS officers use when approachingandapprehending suspected illegaj

aliens oh the street, in factories or onthe highway in load cars. Andl couldcite other examples.,

As a result. live had the uniqueopportunity of looking at the inter-

face -between the Immigration andNationality Act (the law oh the books)and the lavv in acZ/bf?; which is affected

by federal and adrninistrative caseprecedents, INS Central Office pol-

Jcy, resource limitations on the Serv-

ice among other factors, I've observedofficers carrying out "factory surveys",

patrolling on linewatch, sweepingthrough railroad yards, conductingchecks for 1-130 petitions susjDected

of fraud, among other enforcement.activities.

I've listened'While the officer i;was

riding with'inTucson ticked off the"articulable facts" on a suspectedload car during traffic obse'rvation,

and learned hovv he could confirm his

initial suspicions and get additional

"p.c".(probable cause]) just by watch-ing hovy the driver and occupar)ts.

behaved when we drove up alongside.

I've watched as agents checkeddocuments or asked question's of sub-jects suspected of making false claimsafter an area control operation. As aresult. I have [earned some of the"tricks or the trade" which aren't

taught at the academy but learned onIXhe job from more experienced offi-

cers. Among the most interesting arethe techniques used to verify suspectU.S. citizen claims. I was intrigued bythe fact that while there is the physi-

cal chase, which may require agentsto track aliens using the old Indian art

of sign cutting, there is also the psy-chological and verbal chase, whichrequires deft interrogatory skills andan ability to "read" the emotions of an^

alien who doesn't "rabbit" but instead

ttfes to elude apprehension by bluf-

fing with a false claim.

Later, back at the patrol station orDistrict Office I. also observed howpatrol agents and investigators pro-cessed aliens.for voluntary return orfor deportation hearings, I learhedabout the various factors involved in

deciding whether to place an aVten

under.deportation proceedings or to

grant him .voluntary return, whetherto require a bond and, if so, in whatamount, etc.

I soon realized that the problem theService faces in many (if not all) dis-

".. .the American public knows yery

little about what INS^offleers do or the

problems they face, let alone aboutthe.law they are asked to enforce.^'

tricts is not primarily one of locating

and finding illegaltaliens, but makingsure that the level of apprehensiohs is

kept in balance with the* resourcesavailable to the Service, which in-

cludes available officer time to "writeup" aljens, availability of detentionspace and transportation funds, immirgration caseloads, etc. With more

-resources, more aliens would be^

apprehended and processed.All of this is well known to Service

officers. Yet, the American public,knows very little about v/hat jNSofficers do or the problems they face,

let alone about the law they are asked -

to enforce. Americans know there's alaw and also know 4here are large

numbers of illegal aliens here in viola-

tion of the law. When I've given talks

on my research, someone in the audi-ence invariably asks why the INS,can't control the problem, and whyaliens illegally here can't be shippedbut. Most in my audience l<now that

the recent exampl^^countries like

Nigeria and just expei lllegaLaliens

en masse.

Still, many Americans are frustrated

and wonder why the law can't beenforced more effectively, I have to

tell my audiences,^ about how aliens

and their attorneys are able to use the

many statutoril/ available appealsprovisions to delay hearings and how,in the view of many officers, this is

often done simply to "buy time" in

order to acquire equities that mightmake them eligible for one or anotherform of relief. I discuss how aliens

sometimes abscond before or after

their deportation hearing and in somedistricts aren't pursued because theINS has only,so much in the way of

manpower and resources to track

abscondees. Investigaiorsmust also

handle a heavy caseload of "dualaction" background investigations

and these may have priority becausealiens and their attorneys awaiting

adjudication v/ill keep the pressue onDistrict Directors with threats to go to

court if decisions are delayed. In con-trast, abscondees are in no hurry to

be re-apprehended and indeed^ no-body other than INS officers may.really care whether they're appre-hended.Many of, my listeners are surprised

to learn that Voluntary Return UnderSafeguard, which has turned the

southern border into a "revolving

door" of catch, return to the border,

catch again; return again, etc. is^the

only viable,policy option available to

the Service because of limited deten-tion space and too few immigratipn

judges to handle both the aliens whowant hearings.and those the Service

decides must undergo hearings. I

have to explain that deportation pro-

cessing, like criminal prosecution/is

a scarce erifprcement resource that

has 'to be reserved for the more ser-

ious violators.

My audience is also surprised whenI tell them what an* investigations

supervlsortold mewhen I first started

my research, though at first I hadn't

understood what he meant. The super-visor, a seasoned and experiencedofficer, told me that the main reasonenforcement works is that most aliens

are basically honest people. (Ja\y later

did i realize what he meant by that

remark. Although an alien may initially

try to elude an officer v/ith, a false

claim to citizenship or immigrantstatus, most eventually concede their

alienage. If rhost illegal aliens didn't

"fess up" to foreign birth, but instead

stood mute or stuck by their U.S. citi-

zenship claims, enforcement mightcollapse altogether. Why? Because in

our country the burden of establish-

"INS officers need to understand the

reasons behind the public's lukewarmand often ambivalent support fortheir

activities.",

^

ing that aa individual is both an alien-

and deportable would fall on the gov-ernment and might require very time-

consuming investigation to establish

the individual's identity and place of

birth. Even this most basic constitu-

tional point afeout U.S. immigrationJaw Js not understood jby manyAmericans.

\<rare\y have enough time in mytalks to go Into the trackless desert of

federal case law beyond pointing outto my audierice how both the federal

courts and; to aa extent; the political

sensitivities of INS higher manage-ment havered to increasing restric-

tions on how and where INS officers

can apprehend Illegal aliens, com-

'

pared with 20 and'^more years ago,.

These are Weil known to Serviceofficers who are frustrated by themany new curbs on. their authority

but are hardly visible to the public at

all.

Clearly. Americans need to knowmore about theJNS' problems with

regard to> illegal immigration and I

hope that my.study rnay contribute to

an improved ^understanding on thepublic's, part.

What about the public's attitude

towards Immigration enforcement?INS officers need to understand the

reasons behind the public*s lukewarmand often ambivalent support for their

activities., "(This won't alleviate offi-

cers' frustrations but it may provide

philosophical solace!)

At first glance., public support for

tough enforcement of immlgra^nlaw is indisputable. Every nati *n^l

survey undertaken ovePthe past five

to seven years indicates, that,Ameri-

cans consider Illegal immigration 8

serious problem and want the govern-

oaent to enforce the lav/. In June 1980,

91 percent of those suryeyed by th<:

Roper Organization agreed that an aUput effort should t^e made to stop ille-

gal entry into the U.S. NBQ's August1981. survey revealed that 87 percent

of Americans believed the illegal

immigration problem was either

"very" or '^somewhat" serious. And a^

year later; in May 1982, the Merit sur-

vey, found '84 percent o^ the publfc

either "very" or "fairly"- concernedabout the number of illegal aliens in

the country,

Fblly70 percent ofthe respondentspolled in the 1982 Merit survey, whichwas conducted just afterProject Jobs^

was launched in nine major cities durr

ing the Spring, approved of the gov-

ernment arresting illegal aliens* at

work. Newspaper telephone surveys,

althoughtheir sarnples were not rep-

resentative, also reported strong pub-lic support of Project Jobs- And Gal-

lup, in Septenr)ber1 982, found 65 per-

cent.of those polled supporting sanc-

*'Every national survey uhdertakenover the past five to seven years indir

cates that Americans consider illegal

tions against employers who hire

illegals. Over three-quarters of Cali-

fornians polled by the f ield'Institute

in June 1982^ said the governmentshould do more to discourage illegal

aliens /rom coming into the country.

These, surveys teli us about thepublic's general attitude on the prob-lem., But v/hen it comes down to spe-cific day-to-day .enforcement actionsof the Service,. Americans are ofteneither .indifferent or even hostile to

what officers .are doing. I recall, ,for

example, the tongue-lashihg^ I ob-served an investigator receive from arestaurant owner when he was hand-cuffing her El Salvadoran cook.Why.she asked angrily, was he arresting

reading this article will recall having

had similar experiences. They're

abused by ranchers and business-

men with epithets like ''stormtrooper"

and are sometimes physically assault-

ed as well. They know that the reason

jllegals pulled out of restaurants are

taken out by the rear door wheneverpossible is because the customersmight not ''understand" when they

see a cook or busboy being led out in

Jiandcuffs. Officers know that whenillegals happen to be apprehended in'

anapartment building as a result of a

legitimate case investigation forwhich

a warrant had been issued, there will

be accusations that the Service is

"shotgunning" and neighbors andrelatives will corr^plain to their politi-.

cians about "raids** on residences.

Contrary to the image of'the Serv-

.i.ce held by many critics;.the INS often

restricts enforcement operations even

beyond what the law requires becauseof higher management's serisitivity to

bad publicity. Thus the patrons in

bars frequented by illegals aren't

checked now as they once werebecauseof the possibility that a scuf-

fle might ensue, leading to injuries

and more bad press. INS has enoughproblems with the media in somecities. VVhy Invite more?*

In the larger cities, the media ofien

puts the INS on the defensive by giv-

ing ample coverage to theactivistsj

charges of civil rights violations by

INS officers. Not all stories are hos-

tile. Some are objective and' even

sympathetic to INS- dilemmas. How-ever, the fact that there are more acti-

vist groups sympathetic, to illegals

compared with organized citizen

groups opposed to illegal immigra-

tion probably makes coverage of INSenforcement more negative on bal-

ance.

12 INS Reporter/Spring 1983

The fact that the groups sympa-thetic to illegals outnumber .those

opposed (s at the crux of the Servicers

problem. The "public opinton" that

makes v/aves in our society are the

perceptions that organized interest

blocs promote with the aid of .th^e

media, hot the. passive attitudes of a

sample of Americans polled In a

survey.

Neglected by the media is the fact

that leniency in enforcement is the

rule rather than the exception. For

exaoiple, officers encounter manylegal aliens in the course of their workwho aren't carrying their green cards.

Though technically they are guilty of

a.misdemeanor, they are rarely prose-

cuted. Indeed, if time permits, manyofficers will try to verify 4he alien's

legal status by calling in for a compu-ter check, asking, him or her ques-

tions that a legal resident shouldknow or driving him by his residence

to get his card; Aliens who make false

U.S. citizen claims are technically

guilty of a felony but are rarely prose-

cuted. Most will get the same treat-

ment as*an alien who didn't try to bluff

his way out of an arrest.

Another problem for the Servicers

that the public's attitude is inconsist-

ent. Americans can- disapprove of

illegal immigration "in general" yet at

the same time want exceptions madefor the maid who works for their

r^eighbor or the waiter who works at

their favorite restaurant. While it is

perhaps understandable that a busi-

nessman will be angered when his

own workforce is disrupted by a raid,

"The 'public opinion' that makeswaves in our society are the percep-

tions that organized Interest blocs

promote with the aid of the media "

even Americans who derive no eco-

nomic advantage from illegal immi-

gration are still apt to sympathize

with illegal .aliens who have, beenapprehended and who they know per-

sonally^or read about in the press.

I recall the story about a famify that

had been arrested in Los Angeles last

summer and placed in detention in

^Pasadena. The article showed a pic-

ture of'the father with his arms out-

stretched^and quoted him as saying,

"Where is their heart? Why can't they

forgive us?" The Los Angeles Times,,

captioned the story with "Deporta-

tion Order Threatens AmericanDream" and went on to note how a

close family friend of the aVieh and his

family had gathered 400 signatures

for a petition seeking Congressional

intervention. The District Director,

who. was also interviewed, pointed

out that the family had been ordered^

deported 12 years earlier, had ab-

sconded and was apt to do so again.

"Do we," he was quoted as saying,

"Americans appear to want the Immi-gration law enforced as a general pol-

icy, but become ambivalent over the

.plight of the individual alien. . .

."

"disregard the laws of the land just

because (they) are nice people, or dowe follow the law?"

Americans appear to want the immi-

grationJaw enforced as a general pol-

icy,.but become ambivalent over the

plight of the individual,alien, espe-

cially if he or she is not a criminal but

has "made it" in traditional Americanterms through hard work. Americans,

without realizing the contradiction,

often insist that the laW be bent for the

deserving but statutorily deportable

alien, which puts the INS in a difficult

bind because the Service can't makeexceptions, for "good" aliens whodon't meet the statutory requirements

for relief and- still enforce the law

fairly and impartially.

From my experience, it is mainly

these apprehensions of aliens whohave managed to settle into thesociety andwho have acquired friends

and supporters who pose the thorni-

est problem. By contrast, apprehen-

sions at the bo/der are .relatively

uncontroversial because most aliens

caught right at^the border can't lay

the same claim to experiencing hard-

ship if returned home and many donoi have supporters among the pub-

lic who are close by. Moreover, unlike

the illegal alien from overseas, they

'i:

i

;^VbV«fi»;iK*f«rtsmwiaraM

if!*^acan more easily^ get back irl^s^ain.

often just hours after being apRj-e-, ,

hended, and both they and the agents

know that the odds-favor their even-

tually getting back up.

INS officers also know from expe-

rience that many of the tips.they get

on the whereabouts of unlawful aliens

.are motivated not by patriotic con-^ ceVn oh the part of citizens, whobelieve it is their duty to report ille-

gals, but .by personal grudges and

feuds. They know that a landlord will

tolerate illegals as long as they pay

their rent, turning them in only whenthe landlord wants the INS to "evict"

thems An employee will phone in a tip

on illegals, not when he first learned

that there were illegals where he

worked but only after he had been

fired or laid offJ'bften. the only people

who care to see an illegal alien

removed are the INS officers whoapprehend him and the indrndual

who turned him in. But the ajien has

many friends, relatives and co-

workers who will sympathize with his

situation and rush, to his aid.

In conclusion, the public needs to

understand that it can't both have its

cake and eat it too. It can't approve

strong enforcement of the immigra-

tion law "in general" but then oppose

ifwhen it has to be enforced against

this or that specific alien. Inconsist-

ent application of law is not only

unfair to individuals but breeds cyni-;

cism both among the agents whomust enforce .it and those against

whom it is to be enforced.

As regards the other dilemma the

INS faces,^of getting effective public

support for its day-in-day-out enforce-

ment activities, especially in the

Nation's interior, much will depend

on whether Americans decide they

care enough about the illegal immi-

gration problem to o/ganize and lobby

for tougher enforcement in the way

the many^activist groups sympathetic

to illegaUliens.have worked to^frus-

tfate the Servfce through legal and

other actions. In a constitutional

^democracy like ours, it isn't always

the case that the popular will—as

-expressed, for example, in opinion

surveys—automatically achieves the

desired result. Often,,well-organized

minorities can prevail because they Y^<Jake rporejnterest in the issue and are

willing to spend more time lobbying

for their goa'Is.

ootnotes

"WKat the INS can do Is try to better

explain Us dilemmas to the public and

the media."

What the INS can do is try to better

explain its dilemmas to the public and

the media. Most journalists are fair^

minded and try. I believe, to report the

facts of a story accurately. When dis-

torted accounts qi INS activities

occur, an effort'should, be made to

rebut them. Many service clubs and

other yoiuntary associations are

always looking for guest speakers

with fresh points of viev/. INS should

encourage officers to accept invita-

tions to speak to public gatherings to ^

clarify the enforcement situation from

the Service's point of view.^

Many INS officers understand howtheir situation as law enforcers differs

from that of some other federal agen-

cies. Most understand why federal

prosecutors find more jury appeal in

takingcases involving "real criminals"

such as bank robbers, enr^bezzler^s,

heroin smugglers, etc, compared with

immigration cases, In the main, immi-

gration violators don't have clearly

specific and visible victims who are

hurt by what they do. And that's

doubtless the main reason^ as one

INS officer explained it to me, why the

INS has *been the "poor stepchild"

within the federal law enforcement

establishment for so long. .BotI) ttxe-

courts and the public don't view inr^mi-

gration violators as "real criminals".

That situation isn't likely to change.

Both the public and the courts will

continue to give priority to the more

serious and dangerous law breakers.

INS officers may take solace from the

fact that there are many federal laws

on the books besides just immigra-

tion offenses which are weakly en-

forced and that even the FBI and

other federal investigators have diffi-

culty getting U.S. Attorneys to prose-

cute many of their cases. n

Reorganization of INS

The reorganization of the Immigra-

tion and Naturalization Service, ap-

proved by the Department of Justice

on October 8, 1982, became effe'ctive

January 1. 1983, following comple-.

tion of the Office of Management and

Budget and Congressional notifica-

tion process..

The reorganization is the result of

an in-depth reviev^^ of the INS man-

agement and organizational structure

which was initiated by Commissioner

Alan Nelson in*1982. As the result of

careful and deliberate examination of

a variety of organizational materials

and studies, visits to five other Fed-

eral agencies to interview key execu-" tives, and an analysis of the organiza-

tional structures of eight Federal

agencies with similar missions, Com-missioner Nelson recommencJed to

the Attorney General a number of

changes in the organizational struc-

ture of the Service- Following is a

briet description of tfiose changes:

**One of the Soviets expelled in October

1986 from the Soviet Embassy in Wash-

KGB intelligence officerwho speciaEzed in

nuclear disarmament, arms control nego-

tiations, and U^.-Soviet relations in gen-

"This KGB officer often contacted

numerous well placed individuals not on!/

tactswas to promote Soviet fordgn policy

objectives through the use of various active

Explaining Soviet•Active Measures**

irhe term 'active measures' is a lit-

eral translation ofa Russian phrase used

to descrit^e overtand covert lechrUques

and Inteffigence operattons designed to

advance Soviet foreign poficy ol^-tives and to influence events In foreign

countries.

*In the Umted States, Soviet active

n^asures operatk>ns utffize a wide range

of techruques wfwch Indude: forged

documents, written and oral disinfor-

matkm, agents of Influence, political

Influence operations, use of Commu^rust parties, and an International net-

work of SovSet-controHed front groups.

**Afthough most Soviet active mea-sures occur overseas, those activities

that occur In tfus country contr^ute to

Highlights from the report

• ^Certain KGB officers cun-entiy assigned

to the United States are in regular contact

with officials from the Communist Party,

USA (CPUSA) ... and otiier front groups."

• "Although nwny active measures are

planned and executed by Soviet lOs | Intel-

ars, trade union offtdals, sciervtists, andeven some students who visit the United

HOOVERINSTITUTION

ON WARREVOLUTIONAND PEACE

REPORT 1963-1966

Hoover Institution

on War, Revolution and Peace

Report 1963-1966

DEDICATIONOn October 20, 1964, Herbert Hcover, founder of the Hoover Institution

on War, Revolution and Peace, died at the age of 90, Few persons in UnitedStates history have served their country so long and in so many ways. He wasits 31st President, Secretary of Commerce, administrator of vast war relief

programs, director of monumental studies on government reorganization.Never truly retired from public life, even in his last years, Mr, Hoover con-tinued to advise the government as an elder statesman, to work actively forthe advancement of underprivileged youth and to promote the Institution hefounded.

Shortly after hostilities erupted on the Continent in 1914, Herbert Hooverformed his idea of preserving for posterity "an historical collection on the GreatWar." Keenly aware of the importance to future generations of "fugitive docu-ments which quickly disappear," he began to gather propaganda leaflets, news-papers, government documents and periodicals—the priceless raw materials ofhistory—in the belligerent nations he visited as administrator of Belgian warrelief. At the close of World War I, Mr. Hoover turned to his alma mater, Stan*ford University, for expert assistance. With his own financial and administrativesupport, the foundations of what was to become the HooVer Institution on War,Revolution and Peace were laid.

From 1919 to 1922, a team of Stanford "historical sleuths" covered Europein search of significant records. The magic of Mr. Hoover's reputation ashumanitarian and statesman opened many doors. His roving deputies acquireda variety of documents and archives previously unobtainable. It is clear that thefounder's initiative put Stanford—at that time—20 years ahead of any otherAmerican center in possession of primary sources for 20th-century West andEast European historical studies. The Institution became a focus for analysis ofthe peace settlements of 1919-23 and of the revolutionary movements whichrocked the Continent in the third and fourth decades of this century.

Before the Second World War broke out in 1939, the Institution staff hadalerted agents and friends to begin collecting key documents on contemporarycrises. So large had the Institution's holdings grown that more space was neededto house them and to provide reading rooms, research offices and administrativequarters. Construction of the present Hoover Tower, designed by ArthurBrown, Jr. of San Francisco, began in 1939 and was completed two years later.

In June of 1941, former President Hoover dedicated the 285-foot Tower to the'Vearch for peaoe."

During World War II, the founder and his many friends again providedfunds for increased acquisition of original historical records. The flow of mate-rial to the Institution after the war ended was overwhelming. Hoover Institution

collection centers in Germany and Japan contributed heavily to the shipments

from war-torn areas. Much of the material also came from the "emerging" areas

of Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

Acquisitions again increased sharply during the first half of the present

decade and are continuing to rise rapidly. As a result, the Institution now has

one of the world's finest libraries of documentary sources on the causes andeffects of modern war, revolution and peace. Expanding use of these materials

for research and publication in the last five years also has made Hoover a lead-

ing center for advanced study and scholarly writing on political, economic and

social change in the 20th Century.

Each forward step was taken either at Mr. Hoover's suggestion or with his

concurrence. At no time—even during periods of his greatest governmental

responsibility—^was the founder's attention far from the institution he regarded

as his personal contribution to human understanding and world peace.

Thanks to one man's vision and initiative, the Hoover Institution stands

today as one of the world's great centers of free inquiry. It offers the hope ex-

pressed by Mr. Hoover in dedicating the Toweron June 20, 194 1

:

"From these records there can be help to mankind in its confusions and

perplexities and its yearnings for peace."

Director's Review

HERBERT HOOVER1874-1964

I

DIRECTOR'S REVIEWEarly in 1963 the Hoover Institution published a 66'page brochure on its

history and activities. Much has happened since in the acquisition of new li-

brary materials and in the expansion of our research and publications program.Symbolic of change and growth are the planned construction of the Lou HenryHoover Building next door and the recent remodeling of the campus-dominat-ing Hoover Tower.

While the death of our founder deeply saddened the staff, the Institution in

the past year probably has come closer than ever before to the goals and stand-

ards Mr. Hoover set for us. The staff has collected illuminating documents of

international affairs and attracted distinguished scholars to interpret and synthe^

size this information. Through research, publication and consultation, the

Hoover Institution serves the country's policy planners as well as the academiccommunity. To the press and general public, also, the living records and humanexpertise at the Institution are a readily available source of knowledge.

We are determined that the Hoover Institution will accomplish much morein the years to come. The dedication of this volume to Herbert Hoover consti-

tutes—for us at the Institution—a rededication to his pursuit of historical

truth and to his hopes for peace on earth.

Research and Publications

The rich resources of the Hoover Institution's library are collected to beused. They have always been, in Mr. Hoover's words, "free as the Sierra windsfor historians to interpret as they see fit."

The range of subject and approach in the list of Hoover Institution titles

appended to this report attests to such freedom of inquiry. To date, the Institu-

tion has published more than 100 books and shorter reference works written byits staff members and by visiting scholars. About 150 current research projects

are expected to result in future publication. They are supported by grants fromboth general and special funds administered by the Hoover Institution. Most ofthe research and publication in international studies at Stanford University is

conducted at the Institution.

Particularly important investigations are under way on the history of the

Communist International, on Communist China's economic power and oncolonialism in Africa. A group of scholars are studying—sunder U. S, govern*ment contract^the possibilities for regional arms control in the Far East.

Last year Hoover issued Marxism in the Modern World, first of three

volumes of essays derived from papers presented in October of 1964 at a not-

ably well-attended international conference of scholars sponsored by the Institu-

tion. Titled "One Hundred Years of Revolutionary Internationals,*' the con-

ference featured presentations by 37 experts on revolutionary socialism andCommunism from the United States and Europe. The other two volumes

—

Marxist Ideology in the Contemporary World and The Revolutionary Inter*

nationals, I864^2943^^v/ctc published this spring.

In October of 1967, the Hoover Institution will sponsor a similar meetingat Stanford of American and European scholars, marking the semi-centennial

anniversary of the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution. Titled "50 Years of Commu-nism in Russia/' the planned five-day conference will emphasize aspects of

both "promise** and "performance" in the Communists' seizure and exercise of

power- Included in the program will be the presentation and discussion of

papers by internationally-recognized experts on Soviet Communism. Several

public evening lectures also will be offered. Formal dedication of the Institu-

tion's new Lou Henry Hoover Building will take place on one of the days of the

conference-

One of our most challenging new projects is the Yearbook on International

Communist Affairs. A first volume is scheduled to appear in 1967. The publica-

tion's prospectus has been received enthusiastically by high government officials

and by prominent political scientists and historians. The yearbook will provide

the first comprehensive and continuing scholarly review in English of the inter-

national activities of Communist parties that govern in 14 countries and workactively in 76 other nations-

The yearbook will be preceded by World Communism: A Handbook^1918^1965, edited by Assistant Director Witold S. Sworakowski and Eastern

Europe Curator Karol MaicheLIn mid- 1964 the Hoover Institution agreed to underwrite the completion of

a "History of the Menshevik Movement/* an inter-university, multi-disciplinary

study originally launched with a sizeable grant from the Ford Foundation. Theprojects's publishing plans includes seven volumes in English and five in

Russian.

On the domestic scene, Roger Freeman, a Senior Staff member, is begin-

ning a two-year project, **The Growth of American Government," Mr. Free-

man, an economist with special interest in educational finance as well as national

fiscal policy, starts from a concern that conflicting reports of the relative expan-

sion of public expenditures in this century have left U- S. citizens unduly

confused. On the one hand, Mr; Freeman finds analyses showing that govern-

ment has increased in size not only in absolute terms, but also in relation to

population and to such measures as the gross national product. On the other

hand, there are variations on the theme stressed by John K- Galbraith and others

that public services have fallen behind in the general upward economic move-ment, particularly in comparison to the growth of personal consumption.

Mr. Freeman's study will seek "to explain and clarify the apparent contra-

dictions among some of the major published reports and to present a record of

public revenues, expenditures, debt and employment in the United States."

i

The Library

The quality of Hoover Institution research and writing results, in large

measure, from the availability of outstanding library and archival materials.

During the 1964-65 academic year, these resources attracted several hundredscholars from 36 American states and 27 foreign countries.

Among the Institution's holdings are more than 800,000 books and pam-phlets in 36 languages, 150,000 volumes of government documents and 26,000newspaper and periodical titles. Currently we subscribe to about 1,800 period-

icals and 250 daily papers. Almost one-third of the total holdings of all Stanford

libraries are housed at Hoover-Annual expansion of the library is measured in tens of thousand of books

and serials. During 1965, Hoover staff members virtually covered the globe in

search of the original records that document our times.

The Institution has more unpublished material on the growth of Com-munism than any center outside China and the Soviet Union. Its collections on20th-century politics in Germany, Russia, China and Japan are unsurpassed in

America. Many Hoover documents are the only ones in existence.

Receipt of the Boris Nicolaevsky Collection in 1963 gave us what is perhapsthe most comprehensive and valuable array of materials on revolutionary

movements in Russia to be held by any private institution in the world.

Four original drafts of the 1917 abdication statement of Nicholas II, last

Czar of Imperial Russia, are among the rare archival materials donated to the

Institution earlier this year by Mrs. Nicolas de Basily, widow of a prominentRussian diplomat of the pre-Revolutionary period. Proceeds from the sale of

a family residence, also donated by Mrs, de Basily, will endow the purchase of

books on Russia to be known as the Nicolas A. de Basily Memorial Collection.

Important archives housed at Hoover include the papers of the RussianImperial Secret Police (the Okhrana)^ the French Resistance Movement of

World War II, the British Foreign and Colonial Offices {Confidential Prints onAfrica) and the German Nazi Party (Hauptarchiv)

,

Significant progress in the establishment of a computer-aided information

retrieval system for the Herbert Hoover Archives foreshadows the Institution's

plan to extend the system to all of the library's archival material in the future.

Lou Henry Hoover Building

Construction will begin this summer on a second Institution building, withcompletion scheduled for mid-1967. Named for the founder's wife, Lou HenryHoover, the new building will provide much-needed space for the research staff

and for the steadily expanding library collections.

The new structure will rise between the 285-foot Hoover Tower and EncinaHall, where Mr. Hoover lived as a Stanford student from 1891 to 1895. The

Hoover Memorial RoomsThe Lou Henry Hoover Room, containing memorabilia of the former Presi-

dent^s wife, has been redecorated and rearranged for more attractive display.

Last summer the room on the other side of the Tower rotunda, identical in size

to the Lou Henry Hoover Room, was dedicated formally as the Herbert HooverRoom. Its exhibits attempt to portray the broad range of Mr. Hoover's activities

during 50 years of public service. Among its contents are:

?—A chronology of the major events of Herbert Hoover's life and a list of the

major positions he held under five Presidents of the United States.—^The desk and chair Mr. Hoover used as Secretary of Commerce, together

with the chair from which he presided over Cabinet meetings as Chief Execu-tive.—^The President's handwritten draft of a letter to well-wishers upon his elec-

design, executed by Charles A. Luckman Associates of Los Angeles, will har-^

monize with campus surroundings. i

In April of 1964, Mrs, Alan M. Scaife of Pittsburgh and her family offeredj

a matching grant of $750,000 toward the new building in honor of Herbert .

Hoover's 90th birthday. In extending this generous gift, the Scaife family said: *

"All of us have been tremendously impressed with the effective work beingI

performed at the Institution. We feel that this work is so particularly important [

to the preservation of our Western Civilization that anything the Scaife family !

can do to assist is a source of pride to us/' ^

Hoover Institution Advisory Board member Jeremiah Milbank and his wife\

gave $250,000 toward construction of the new building, and a number of other ^

individuals, corporations and foundations made gifts or pledges. As a result, k

the required $750,000 to match the Scaife family gift was in hand by Herbert

Hoover's 90th birthday on August 10, 1964. '

Total cost of the building is estimated at $1,850,000, Sufficient additional \

funds have been raised to meet the entire amount.|

The new building's 60,000 square feet of space will be divided among four

floors, two above ground and two below. Besides library stacks, each of the 1

lower levels will contain a rare book section, thereby relieving crowding in the ^

Tower's vaults. The Middle East, East Asian and newspaper collections also are[

to be housed in the new facility.

On the first of the two upper levels will be reading rooms for users of the ;

collections and administrative offices for library personnel. A 60-student class-

room will provide better accommodation for visiting lecturers and the Institu-

tion's teaching program. On the top floor will be 36 offices for Hoover staff

members and visiting researchers, plus two seminar rooms.The building is to be linked to the Tower by an underground passage. Out-

side, terracing and landscaping will provide natural ties for the two units.;

tion in 1928, plus communications to him from King Albert of the Belgians andPresident Masaryk of Czechoslovakia. Handwritten drafts illustrate the develop-

ment of a Hoover speech. The Presidential appointment diary also is displayed.

—Gifts of appreciation to Mr. Hoover from the people of warn*torn coun-

tries his relief programs aided, including flour sacks embroidered by Belgian

women and children.

—Awards bestowed on the former President. Among them are his creden-

tials as Stanford graduate and trustee, a selection from the more than 100honorary degrees granted by other colleges and universities, and the U. S. Mintsilver medallion commemorating Mr. Hoover*s service in the nation's highest

office.

Dedication of the Herbert Hoover Room on July 20, 1965, brought mes-

sages of respect for the man it honors from all over the world. Former President

Eisenhower noted that "his interests were so broad and his productive activities

so varied that there is scarcely anyone who does not have a special reason for

cherishing his memory." Gen. Eisenhower's predecessor in the White House,

Harry S. Truman, said in a telegram that Mr. Hoover's "record as the great

humanitarian of this century will long endure in the hearts of men."

Expansion of the Institution's research staff and increased use of its library

necessitated renovation of the Hoover Tower in 1964. Major changes were

made on the ground floor. Part of the newspaper collection was moved from

there to the 15th floor, the rest going to temporary storage until completion of

the new building. Into the cleared space went 13 research offices, rooms for

reading current newspapers and microfilm, and a large Research Reading

Room with 32 carrels and ample shelf space for books.

Staff Appointments and Changes

The Hoover staff of 120 includes senior scholars, curators, librarians, re-

search associates and assistants, and administrative and clerical personnel. Its

20 nationalities speak 30 languages and embrace the multiple disciplines of his-

tory, economics, international law, political science and other social sciences.

The void created at the Institution with the death of Boris I. Nicolaevsky in

February at the age of 78 was aptly described by Ambassador George F. Ken-

nan in a message of condolence to Mr. Nicolaevsky^s widow. Mr. Kennan wrote

simply, "Russia and America have both lost a great man." Mr. Nicolaevsky,

Russian emigri historian and journalist prominent in the early Menshevik move-

ment, had joined the Hoover staff in 1964. He was Curator of the Nicolaevsky

Collection on Russian revolutionary socialism and the author of several books,

including Power and the Soviet Elite ( 1965) . Mr. Nicolaevsky's widow, AnnaBourguina, has been appointed Curator of the Nicolaevsky Collection,

Karl Brandt, Professor of Economic Policy, emeritus, at Stanford Univer-

sity and a member of the President's Council of Economic Advisors from 1958

to 1960, retired as Director of Stanford's Food Research Institute in 1964 to

become Senior Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution.

Dennis J. Doolin^ foniier Ford Foundation Fellow in Asian studies, wasappointed Research Curator of the East Asian Collection last year.

New Curator-Librarian for the East Asian Collection is John T. Ma, whojoined the staff last year after four years in charge of acquiring Chinese andJapanese materials for the Cornell University Library.

Peter Duignan, Curator of the African Collection, was named Director of

the African Studies Program at its inception in 1965.

Lewis H. Gann, former Editor of Publications and Archivist of the National

Archives of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, came to Hoover as a Research Associate

in 1964 and is now the Deputy Curator for the African Collection.

George Rentz concluded 17 years* service with the Arabian American Oil

Company in Saudi Arabia in 1963 to become Curator of the Middle East

Collection.

Kenneth M. Glazier, Deputy Curator of the African Collection since 1962,became Librarian for the Western Language Collections in 1965-

Philip T. McLean, Librarian at Hoover for many years, has been namedCurator of the Special Collections and Consulting Librarian,

Clarence C- Clendenen, who retired from 34 years* active service in the

U. S- Army with the rank of Colonel to pursue advanced study in the social

sciences, last year was appointed Curator of Military Collections,

A key administrative appointment was the naming of Alan H. Belmont^asExecutive Assistant to the Director, Mr, Belmont, most recently chief assistant

for investigations to the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, con-

cluded 29 years of FBI service at the end of 1965. A 193 1 graduate of Stanford,

he will maintain liaison with the Institution's Advisory Board, coordinate the

publications and information program, and assist with internal administration.

Moving this year into the post of Information Officer is James R. Hobson,

a former newspaper reporter and magazine editor. Holder of an advanced

degree in international affairs from Georgetown University, Mr. Hobson also

will serve as a Research Associate.

Two years ago the Hoover Institution established Research Fellowships to

attract first-rank scholars for study and writing over residential periods of oneor more years. Current Fellows are Bertram D, Wolfe, Theodore Draper andLadis Kristof

.

Wolfe^s Three Who Made a Revolution (1948), a study of the formative

political years of L^nin^ Trotsky and Stalin, is now in its fifth edition and has

sold more than 300,000 copies in 12 languages. Last year he published Marx-ism: 100 Years in the Life of a Doctrine, begun at Hoover in the summer of

1964. Prof, Wolfe presently is using Institution resources for two further studies

of Lenin.

Research Fellow at Hoover for more than two years, Theodore Draper is

FinancesSix years ago we set the following objectives for the Hoover Institution:—^To undertake an intensive and high-quality research and publications

program in the field of public and international affairs,—^To expand by several times expenditures for acquisitions, so that the

gaps in the collections that had developed during the previous decade could befilled and the collections maintained at their historical level of excellence.

—To recruit an outstanding team of scholars for the staff.

—To assure the availability of the necessary funds to plan expenditures onan efficient long-term basis, so that they would no longer vary widely from yearto year depending on the amount of money immediately available-

The progress achieved on the first three objectives is covered in other sec-

tion^ of this report. As for the financial objective, during the past six years the

Hoover Institution has obtained a total of almost $7 million in gift funds—morethan was raised during the preceding 40 years.

This notable achievement belongs to our donors—to the scores of founda*tions, corporations and individuals who expressed in signal fashion their con-tinuing admiration for Herbert Hoover and their keen understanding of the

importance of the work he fostered at the Hoover Institution.

Expenditures in 1964-65 totalled more than three times the amount five

years earlier in 1959-60—$1,237,308 as compared with $389,868. A graphic

comparison of Hoover Institution expenditures and sources of funds for these

years is appended to this annual report-

More than five years ago Mr. Hoover endorsed a long-term financial pro-gram for the Institution. This program set three major goals in the following

order of priority. First, eliminate the annual deficits and place the current

budget on a reasonably secure basis by obtaining sizeable gifts for current useand building up a satisfactory reserve fund. Second, find the funds to build asecond building. Third, substantially expand the endowment.

Since the first two objectives have been achieved, the Institution's AdvisoryBoard has recommended to the President and Board of Trustees of StanfordUniversity that the time has now come to undertake a program to expand the

Hoover Institution's endowment by $5 million. This recommendation has beenapproved, and the program will get under way later this year with DavidPackard and Thomas Pike of the Stanford Board of Trustees as co-chairmen,

The Hoover Tower was built by contributions from thousands of HerbertHoover's friends and well-wishers. Over the years the collections—and their

scholarly use—have continued to grow because of the support of Mr. Hooverand his friends. The $5 million endowment program will assure the continuing

development in quality and quantity of the resources of the Hoover Institution.

well known to the general public for his Castro*s Revolution: Myths and Reali-

ties (1962) and Castroism: Theory and Practice (1965). This year, Mr.

Draper will continue his analysis of the Cuban Communist leader^s political

development and will work on the third and final volume of his massive study of

the U. S. Communist Party,

Ladis Kristof last year completed the research for his Biographical Diction-

ary of Menshevism, to be published soon by Hoover as one of the 12 volumes in

the project, "History of the Menshevik Movement/' Mn Kristof presently is

editing the memoirs of losif Gessen, a leading Russian Constitutional Democrat

of pre-Revolutionary days.

Other Staff Activities

Each year the Hoover Institution and its staff members engage in a full

schedule of voluntary public service supplementing more formal duties. Oneaspect of this assistance includes outside speaking engagements, lectures, public

testimony and educational television and radio appearances. The Institution

enjoys particularly close relations with non-partisan forums for discussion of

current events, such as World Affairs Councils, both in California cities and in

other metropolitan areas across the country.

The library resources and human expertise available at Hoover frequently

are consulted by such U. S, government agencies as the Departments of State

and Justice, the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency^ the Central Intelli-

gence Agency and the military services, and by the committees and members

of Congress. The Hoover Institution often is a stop of special interest for touring

foreign dignitaries, many of them sponsored on their journeys by government

offices and foundations.

Hoover staff members taught the following courses at Stanford University

during the 1964-65 academic year:

LECTURES:Doolin, **Government and Politics of Communist China/'

Drachkovitch, "Analysis of the Socialist and Communist Internationals,

1864^1956."

Possony, "A Survey of the Strategy of the Communist Revolution/'

Rentz, "History of the Islamic World/'

RESEARCH AND PUBLICATIONS

"The Institution is not merely a library. Through its staff for research andpublication it adds to the knowledge of history. It illuminates the dangers that

surround us. It points out paths to freedom and peace, and to the safe growth of

the American way of life/'

Herbert HooverJanuary, 1963

The world-wide coverage of the Institution's collections gives them special

value in this period when so many problems are international in scope. While

each of the major area collections—^Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Africa,

East Asia, and the Middle East—is in itself outstanding, the distinguishing

feature of this Institution lies in the fact that it houses under one roof for con-

venient study the records of the major upheavals of the contemporary world.

These great collections offer the scholar opportunity to concentrate on one

area, to undertake comparative studies on certain critical subjects related to two

or more areas and, at the same time, to study important problems in the perspec-

tive of the world as a whole.

The Institution's holdings on the Russian and Chinese revolutions and the

growth and spread of Communism throughout the world are considered by

many to be the outstanding collections in this field in the free world. Housedhere are some of the most complete records extant on Hitler and the Nazi move-ment, as well as on Mussolini and Fascism, It is a place where scholars can

document such diverse post-World War II and "cold war" developments as the

economic recoveries of Germany and Japan, the establishment of regional

military and trade arrangements like NATO and the Common Market, and the

emergence of nationalism and statehood in Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

Building on its early foundation of materials from the Paris Peace Confer-

ence, the Institution continues to gather the records of international peace move-

ments. Backed by rich documentation of the old League of Nations, it has

continued to follow closely the progress of the United Nations, the Council of

Europe, and international arms control conferences.

The Hoover Institution has its own resident research staff. In addition,

hundreds of scholars and students come here each year to do the conscientious

exploratory work which advances the frontiers of learning. As a result, the Insti-

tution has become an internationally recognized center for the investigation not

only of international affairs but also of many other aspects and problems of the

20th Century.Since 1963, the Hoover Institution has published nearly 50 volumes in three

major series—Publications, Studies and Bibliographies. This almost equals the

total of the preceding 35 years of publishing.

13

Hard-bound books of broad appeal usually are channeled through univer-

sity presses and commercial publishing houses- The Institution's monographs,bibliographies and other brief reference works—frequently soft-bound—are

edited, offset-printed, advertised and distributed through its own Publications

Department.Following is a partial survey of key research projects now in progress, sup-

plemented by a review of important recent publications. Full schedules of

current research projects and of publications over the past three years are

appended to this report.

Africa

This is the newest of the Hoover Institution's area specialties. Intensive col-

lection of materials on Africa began six years ago. In May of 1965, an African

Studies Program was established. Centerpiece of its current research is the pro-

ject entitled ^'Colonialism in Africa,*' Planned for publication are five volumescovering European rule south of the Sahara from 1 870 to 1 960.

A first volume, co-authored by Peter Duignan and Lewis Gann of the

staff, is under review by scholars. As a general introduction to the five-

volume series, it attempts an appraisal of imperialism as manifested in the lands

between the Sahara Desert and the Limpopo River, Ur. Duignan and Dr. Gannalso will edit two of the other four books scheduled for publication in the

project. These will contain essays contributed by European, African andAmerican authorities on historical and political topics of modern colonial rule-

To complete the series, David Landes of Harvard and Victor Turner of

Cornell each will edit volumes dealing, respectively, with the economic and the

societal aspects of African colonial government.

Over the past three years. Hoover staff members compiled most of the seven

published bibliographies on Africa. Kenneth Glazier's Africa South of the Sa^

ham: A Selected and Annotated Bibliography, 1958-1963^ issued in 1964,

was cited by the American Library Association as one of the outstanding refer-

ence books of that year.

In 1963, African Collection Curator Duignan founded the African News-letter. This periodical now has merged with the African Studies Bulletin^ organ

of the African Studies Association of the United States, With Dr, Duignan as co-

editor^ the bulletin is being published by Hoover for the Association,

The Institution initiated and published in 1964 a key study of Communistinfluence in Africa, edited by Zbigniew Brzezinski of Columbia University.

Titled Africa and the Communist Worlds the volume includes essays by Alexan-

der Dallin, Alexander Erlich, Christian Sonne and Elizabeth Bass, all of Colum-bia's Russian Institute, Robert Bass of Brooklyn College, William E. Griffith of

the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Richard Lowenthal of the Free

University of Berlin,

14

Also issued in 1964 was African Socialism, edited by William H. Friedlandof Cornell University and Carl G. Rosberg of the University of California at

Berkeley. In this work, contributions by specialists in several disciplines viewAfrican socialism as a pragmatic ideology combining classical features of social-

ism with aspects of modern capitalism and Communism.

Communism : History and Strategy

In October of 1964^ the Hoover Institution sponsored a well attended andhighly productive conference, "One Hundred Years of Revolutionary Interna-

tionals." Thirty-seven experts on various phases of Communism, including eight

scholars associated with the Institution, prepared papers or comments. Two of

them, French sociologist Raymond Aron and British philosopher Isaiah Berlin,

gave public lectures before capacity audiences in Stanford Memorial Audi-torium.

Three Hoover Institution books resulted from the papers presented at this

conference. Marxism in the Modern World was published in 1965. The Revo-lutionary Internationals, 1864^1943 and Marxist Ideology in the Contempo-rary World: Its Appeals and Paradoxes appeared this spring. All three volumeswere edited by Senior Staff member Milorad Drachkovitch.

Dr. Drachkovitch also will edit the forthcoming Yearbook on International

Communist Affairs. Content of this unique annual survey, whose first volumeis scheduled for publication in the spring of 1967, will include:

-^-An introductory interpretive essay, scholarly but intelligible to the lay-

man, analyzing the most important events of the preceding year on the interna-

tional Communist scene.

-^—A monthly chronology, covering the main events related to Communistpolicy in and among the several nations.

—Key documents which most faithfully reflect Communist positions, pre-

occupations and problems during the year. These documents will be elucidatedwhere necessary by editorial notes.

—Statistics relating to membership, electoral results and finances, plus bio-

graphical notes on leading Communist personalities and on the organizationalstructures of Communist states and parties.

—Descriptions of the principal Communist front organizations on the inter-

national stage, covering their organization and functions.—A selected bibliography of the most important books and articles on Com-munist affairs published during the year.

-^—An index arranged by names and subjects.

Assisting staff members in the production of the yearbook will be anumber of scholars prominent in the multidisciplinary fields of Communiststudy. Some will serve on an advisory board, making suggestions on currentliterature and on selection of yearbook materiaL Others will act as foreign cor-

15

respondents for the publication. Advisory Board appointments include:

Henri Brugmans, Rector of the College of Europe, Bruges;

Zbigniew Brzezjnski, Director of the Research Institute on CommunistAffairs, Columbia University;

Theodore Draper, Research Fellow, Hoover Institution;

William E. Griffith^ Director of the International Communism Project,

Massachussetts Institute of Technology;

Ivo Lederer, Associate Professor of History, Stanford University;

Boris Meissner, Director, Institute for Sovietology, University "of

Cologne, Germany;Philip Mosely, Professor of Political Scienoe, Columbia University;

Stefan T. Possonv, Director of the International Political Studies Pro-

gram, Hoover Institution;

George E. Taylor, Director, Far Eastern and Russian Institute, Univer-

sity of Washington, Seattle;

Jan F- Triska, Professor of Political Science, Stanford University;

Bertram D. Wolfe, Research Fellow, Hoover Institution.

This spring the Hoover Institution will publish Comintern: Historical High<lightSf edited by Milorad Drachkovitch and Branko Lazitch, a scholar andwriter living in Paris. In addition to several original essays by experts on various

aspects of the Communist International, the volume contains excerpts frompreviously unpublished memoirs of former Comintern leaders and official docu-

ments—also never before published—dealing with the formative years of the

Communist parties in Germany, France and Italy,

By the end of 1966, the first volume in a massive Institution project, "His-

tory of the Communist International,'* will be ready for publication. Dr- Drach-kovitch and Dr. Lazitch are co-editors for the project, with Hoover ResearchAssociate Wiktor Sukiennicki assisting them. The first volume will cover the

"Leninist" years of the Comintern, 1919 to 1924.

Last year Hoover published The Communist International and Its FrontOrganizations by the Assistant Director, Witold S. Sworakowski. This research

guide and checklist is a basic tool in its field, providing references to more than

2,200 books and pamphlets in 22 languages.

Another important 1965 addition to the Bibliographical Series was Soviet

Disarmament Policy^ 1917-^1963 by Walter C. Clemens Jr., listing over 800primary and secondary sources on the subject.

16

Important analyses of Communism also are conducted under the Inter-

national Political Studies Program, directed by Stefan T, Possony. Particular

emphasis is placed on Soviet global strategy in relation to such Western alliances

as NATO. An example of this approach was the "Open Space and Peace"symposium sponsored by the Institution in late 1963. Its deliberations' werepublished in a 1964 book of the same title. The symposium sought to evaluatethe contributions to peace that might be made by an extension of President

Eisenhower's 1955 **open skies" proposal to the vast reaches beyond the earth's

atmosphere.

Last year Dr. Possony prepared German and British editions of his well-

received 1964 biography, Lenin: The Compulsive Revolutionary, and readiedhis Lenin Reader for publication this year. The International Political Studies

Director also wrote consultative reports for the U. S. Army on Communist atti-

tudes toward mass casualties in war and on the Russian civil war.Upon completion in 1 965 of the final editing of his Communist Political and

Military Strategy, a three-year project. International Political Studies Programassociate Richard Wraga concluded:

"The (Soviet) literary material, which is often accepted at face value, re-

quires careful analysis which sometimes reveales falsification of facts. Falsifica-

tion is particularly noticeable in fields connected with the history of the Russiancivil war, the period of German-Soviet collaboration, development of Sovietmilitary doctrine and, finally, the history of the Soviet intelHgence, espionageand 'misinformation' services."

East Asia

Two years ago the Hoover Institution was commissioned by the U. S. ArmsControl and Disarmament Agency to study the applicability of a regional armscontrol system to the Far East. Under the direction of Yuan-li Wu, University ofSan Francisco economist, a team of Institution experts, Stanford faculty andAsian area specialists from other schools anticipates completion of the projectlate this year.

The project is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the possibili-

ties and limitations of arms control in the Far East, including the entire areastretching from the Republic of Korea in the north to Australia and New Zea-land in the south and Pakistan in the west.

Its purpose is to discover the attitudes of these countries toward variousarms control measures with respect to both nuclear and conventional weapons,and related arrangements. It attempts to identify the conditions under whichspecific arms control measures would be acceptable to the countries concerned,either individually or on a regional or subregional basis. This first part treats

Communist China as well as North Korea and North Vietnam as "extra-regional."

17

The second part of the project deals with Communist China, with special

reference to the nature of the Chinese threat as perceived by other powers

—

including those of Africa, the Middle East and Latin America as well as the

regional powers of the first investigation—and to Chinese attitudes, both real

and professed, toward various arms control measures.

The project is essentially analytical in nature^ although some discussion of

the effects of the various arms control measures and policies on U. S, national

interests will be included.

In addition. Dr. Wu*$ continuing work on his analysis of CommunistChina's economic potential is reflected in two series of volumes. The first treats

certain strategic variables affecting Communist China's economic development.

Two books already have been published as a result of this effort; The Use of

Energy Resources in Communist China (1963) and Steel Industry of Com-munist China (1965), A third volume, to be entitled the Spatial Economy of

Communist China, is in manuscript form and will be published soon.

The second series of studies focuses attention on the over-all economic

potential of Communist China, projecting it forward to the 197d's, A series of

three volumes entitled The Economic Potential of Communist China has al-

ready appeared in report form through the Stanford Research Institute, which

sponsored the study. Work on a forthcoming volume tentatively entitled Eco^

nomic Growth and Stability in Communist China is progressing.

Earlier this year the Hoover Institution released the first full translation of

29 issues of Kung-tso Tung-Hsun^ a civil affairs journal classified "secret" and

issued only to Communist Party members in the Chinese Red Army at the regi-

mental level and above. The journal issues were published irregularly during

1961 by the army's General Political Department. When the documents fell into

Western hands and were made public by the U. S. State Department in late

1963, a Hoover team under the direction of San Francisco State history profes-

sor J. Chester Cheng began the only formal and complete English translation

now existing- Published by the Institution under the title. Politics of the Chinese

Red Army^ the translated documents comprise nearly 800 pages of English text.

They disclose a wealth of confirmation for previous scattered reports on bloody

peasant rebellions and low arnly morale aggravated by serious food shortages in

China during intermittent periods from 1959 to 1961.

Product of several years' bibliographic labor and scholarly detective work is

the forthcoming Contemporary China: A Research Guide, The 900-page vol-

ume was co-authored by two former members of the staff, Eugene Wu and

Peter Berton. Mr. Wu, Curator of the Institution's East Asian Collection

from 1960 to 1965, now is Librarian of the Harvard-Yenching Institute.

Dr. Berton is Professor of International Relations at the University of South-

ern California. The Hoover Institution is publishing the research guide,

most comprehensive of its kind, for the Joint Committee on Contemporary

China, whose members come from the American Council of Learned Societies

18

and the Social Science Research Council. A Joint Committee member, Mary C-

Wright of Yale University, notes in a Foreword to the volume:

"The Joint Committee is grateful to the Hoover Institution for publishing

this volume as part of its long-standing program not only of collecting source

materials on the Chinese Revolution, but of encouraging their use by scholars

through production and publication of numerous research aids. AlthoughMessrs. Berton and Wu have investigated the resources of libraries throughout

the world, the Hoover Institution's own excellent collections have provided the

core of the materials described."

Among these materials are publications and documents in both Chinese andEnglish from mainland China and from Nationalist government agencies onTaiwan. Of the substantial literature from the mainland collected and repro-

duced for limited distribution by the Nationalists, Prof. Wright remarks; "Eventhe existence of these collections has not hitherto been widely known.*' Addsthe Yale history professor in her Foreword

:

"The Japanese sources for the study of Communist China, comprehensively

described for the first time in this volume, deserve particular attention because

they are often ignored by Chinese and Western scholars,"

Publication earlier this year of Food and Agriculture in Communist Chinaproved a natural companion to the secret bulletins' translation mentioned

above. Co-authored by John Lossing Buck, Owen L. Dawson and Y. L. Wu,the book sets mainland Chinese food shortages of five years ago in the context of

pre-World War II agricultural production estimates and postwar falsification of

food statistics by the Communist government.

A 1965 contribution by Dennis J. Doolin, Research Curator of the East

Asian Collection, to the Studies Series was chosen by the U. S. Information

Agency for distribution to its libraries abroad. Titled Territorial Claims in the

SinO'Soviet Conflict, the monograph brought documents and analysis to bear ona little-noticed facet of the dispute between Peking and Moscow.

Eastern Europe

The Hoover Institution agreed in 1964 to underwrite the completion of

"The History of the Menshevik Movement," a multi-disciplinary project begunwith sizeable Ford Foundation support and engaging scholars from several

universities. The study is directed by Leopold Haimson of Columbia University.

The first of its planned 12 volumes is expected to appear this year. HooverResearch Fellow Ladis Kristof is contributing a Biographical Dictionary of

Menshevism to the project, while Anna Bourguina, Curator of the Nicolaevsky

Collection, is compiling a bibliography.

Among the topics of the five English-language works, to be published for

Hoover by the University of Chicago Press, is a study by Solomon Schwarz of

Bolshevism, Menshevism and the Russian labor movement during the abortive

19

1905 revolt against the Imperial government- Other subjects in this series are

Menshevism under Soviet rule^ and Russian Social Democrats' relations withthe workers* movement.

Appearing in the Russian language will be the memoirs of Menshevikleaders Grigorii Uratadze, Noi Zhordaniia and P. A, Garvy^ plus volumes onthe 1903-1905 origins of the movement and on its transition from legitimacy to

"underground" existence.

In 1955 the State Publishing House in Moscow issued the 1,3th volume of

Stalin's Collected Works in Russian and in an English translation. For obviouspolitical reasons the publication of further volumes was discontinued. Scholars

and students of Soviet affairs have waited in vain for the last three volumescovering the years from 1931 to Stalin's death in 1953.

A few years ago, Robert H. McNeal of the University of Toronto used the

Institution's library resources for his work on a complete bibliography of Sta-

lin's writings. Once this bibliography became available, it was possible to collect

all of Stalin's writings in Russian periodicals and newspapers. Accordingly,Prof. McNeal has collected this material as well, and prepared it for print.

The Hoover Institution has decided to publish Stalin's writings in their origi-

nal Russian text, without changes or abbreviations. Two volumes will include

his writings during the years 1931-1953. A third volume will collect itemswhich for certain reasons were omitted in the 13 volumes of the Moscow edi-

tion. The McNeal bibliography will appear as a fourth volume. The four vol-

umes are scheduled for completion in 1966.

The last of the late Boris Nicolaevsky's books, Power and the Soviet Elite,

was published by Frederick A. Praeger late in 1965. The Praeger book, edited

by Janet D. Zagoria with an introduction by Ambassador George F. Kennan,is a collection of Mr. Nicolaevsky's essays on Soviet Russian developmentsunder Stalin and Khrushchev. It contains the author's famous account of his

1936 interview with .Bukharin, "Letter of an Old Bolshevik." Reviewing the

volume for the New York Times of November 21, 1965, Louis Fischer called

Mr. Nicolaevsky "the greatest authority in the Western world on Soviet politics."

East European Collection Curator Karol Maichel's fifth volume in his

comprehensive Guide to Russian Reference Books will be released this year-

Other forthcoming bibliographies will cover the Imperial Russian Secret Police,

Hungarian studies^ Trotsky and Bukharin.

Two other book-length publications are expected to appear soon. One is

Peace and Revolution in Soviet Foreign Policy, 1928^1934, by Xenia J. Eudinand Robert M. Slusser. This is a sequel to two earlier documentary surveys

on Moscow's relations with West and East from 1920 to 1927. The second book-length study is Dragisa N. Ristic's Yugoslavia's Revolution of 1941, an accountof that country's dramatic and sudden shift—in 48 hours between March 25thand 27th—away from adherence to the Nazi-dominated Axis through a pro-

Western coup d'etat. The shift led to Nazi invasion of Yugoslavia but delayed

20

for five weeks the German attack on the Soviet Union. Mr. Ristic's book is basedon personal and state papers of the late Gen. Dusan Simovic, architect of the

coup and then Yugoslavia's Prime Minister,

Economics and Public Policy

Roger Freeman's "Growth of American Government," a contemplated two-

year project^ will seek to identify trends in public spending for national security

and for domestic purposes while analyzing changes in division of fiscal respon-

sibility and decision-making power among the several levels of government.

Mr. Freeman, a member of the Institution's Senior Staff, begins the writing

of his new study this year after a period of some concentration on educational

finance. He is the author of Crisis in College Finance? Time for New Solutions

(1965), Taxes for the Schools (1960), and School Needs in the DecadeAhead (1958).

"Growth of American Government" will focus on the period since WorldWar II, set against a historical background. Mr. Freeman aims further at evalu-

ation of the effectiveness of some of the major domestic expenditure programs in

the postwar United States and at "the implications of present trends on future

developments as the United States enters the last third of the 20th Century."

Karl Brandt, Senior Research Fellow of the Hoover Institution, has con-

ducted studies in several geographic and topical areas. In July of 1965, Dr.

Brandt and a collaborator, John A. Jamison of Stanford's Food Research Insti-

tute, completed a report of nearly 400 pages on the performance, potential andlimitations of agricultural marketing orders in California. The two-year project

was contracted jointly by the Food Research Institute and the National CannersAssociation.

Dr. Brandt currently is engaged in long-term studies of agrarian reform in

Taiwan and of agriculture's role in economic development. A draft for publica-

tion of the former is expected to be ready this spring. Under grants from twoEuropean foundations, Dr. Brandt also is directing to completion this year a

study of economic development in Colombia's agriculture.

Latin America

Intensive collection of materials in this area resumed in 1962. A program of

research and publication began with the start of Theodore Draper's residence as

a Hoover Institution Research Fellow in 1964. Adding to Mr. Draper's pre-

viously published work on Fidel Castro and the Cuban revolution will be this

year's planned issuance of a broad bibliography by Ronald Chilcote, Revolu-tion and Structural Change in Latin America,

Recipient of a Hoover Institution grant for a study of the Christian Demo-cratic movement in Latin America is Hugh O'Shaughnessy, Latin American

21

correspondent for the Financial Times of London. The book Mr. O'Shaughn-essy expects to produce. Christian Democracy in Latin America^ will **de$cribe

and explain the swiftly developing current of radical political thought andaction represented by the Christian Democratic movement in Latin America/*with special reference to Chile, Peru and Venezuela.

Philip A. Ray, prominent international lawyer and former Ondersecretaryof Commerce, is working on a book tentatively titled "The Eagle and theSnake: Mexico's New Revolution." Mr, Ray started the project while aResearch Fellow at the Institution.

Disseminated last year in the Studies Series was a monograph by Richard R.Fagen of Stanford University's Political Science Department/ Cwi?«: The Con-tent of Adult Education, Also related to events on the Caribbean island was the

work of Joseph W. Bingaman. Assistant Librarian for Technical Services. Dur-ing a national library seminar at Detroit's Wayne State University in the

summer of 1965, Mr. Bingaman helped to draw up a list of Cuban refugeeorganizations, together with a bibliography of their serial publications;

Middle East

The Curator of the Middle East Collection, George Rentz, is the author

of a study of the geography, people and history of the Arabian Peninsula whichthe American Historical Association's Guide to Historical Literature hascalled the best available survey of the subject. Dr. Rentz is continuing his

investigation of developments in the Peninsula on a broad scale, with emphasison the 20th Century. Last year he wrote half a dozen articles and chapters onArab affairs for journals, books and encyclopedias. He is also preparing avolume entitled The Arab East: The Contemporary Scene^ which will appear in

1967 as part of a comprehensive series on the Arab world being published in

Beirut, Lebanon.In 1964 the Institution published Nationalism and Revolution in Egypt:

The Role of the Muslim Brotherhood^ by Christina Phelps Harris of Stanford's

Political Scienpe Department. Dr. Harris is a former curator of the Middle EastCollection. Prof. Harris concludes in the book that the religious traditionalists

of the Brotherhood—who clashed violently with nationalist reformers underNaguib and Nasser at the time of Egyptian independence—remain a force to bereckoried with even though driven underground.

Last year the Institution published Jordan River Partition by GeorgianaStevens^ an updating of the author's 1956 study of the Arab-Israeli water prob-

lem that has been cited frequently as a standard reference on the subject. In

1 965 Hoover also published The Communist Party of Israel and the Elections

for the Fifth Knesset^ 1961 by Jacob Landau and Moshe Czudnowski of the

Hebrew University in Jerusalem, a detailed analysis of the party's composition

and views at the time.

22

Western Europe

The Institution soon will complete publication of a unique guide for stu-

dents of German foreign policy during the Weimar Republic and Nazi periods.

Published and distributed from master sheets prepared by the U. S. Departmentof State, the guide is titled A Catalog of Files and Microfilms of the GermanForeign Ministry Archives, 1920^1945, The first two volumes of the catalog

appeared in 1963 and 1964 and totalled more than 2,000 pages, A third

volume is expected to be issued this year.

In the past three years the Hoover Institution has published^^throughFrederick A. Prager-^-collections of papers prepared for two key symposia held

at Georgetown University's Center for Strategic Studies. Both volumes bearimportantly on the future of Western Europe and contain the best thinking of

national opinion-makers in and out of government. National Security, Political,

Military and Economic Strategies in the Decade Ahead was issued in 1963.This was followed two years later byNATO in Quest of Cohesion.

Forthcoming from Western Europe Collection Curator Agnes Peterson andher collaborator, Grete Heinz, is an annotated bibliography of Institution hold-

ings on the 1958*65 period of the Fifth French Republic. The two also are co-

authors of NSDAP Hauptarchivi Guide to the Hoover Institution MicrofilmCollection, an aid to the use of the Institution's German Nazi Party archives

published in 1964.

Based on the Hauptarchiv and scheduled for publication later this year is

Bradley F. Smith's Adolph Hitler, His Family, Childhood and Youth, A short

study, Explaining Munich: The Search for Motive in British Policy, by DonaldLammers of Arizona State University, also will be published in 1966.

THE LIBRARY

The flow of information in and out of the collections of the Hoover Institu-

tion's library is ceaseless. In a single year, items for cataloging grow by manythousands. Some of the expansion is routine, as in the subscription to more than

1,800 of the world's periodicals and about 250 of its daily newspapers. Some of

the growth is, in a sense, self-generated. For example, the well-known value of

the Hoover holdings attracts more value, often through the voluntary contri-

bution of private library treasures.

For the most part, however, maintenance of the collections' high stature

occurs neither automatically nor accidentally. On the one hand, it takes harddigging into the oft-hidden sources of records on the past. On the other, it de-

mands daily grappling with what has been called the "information explosion"

—

the steadily accelerating output of public documents and private scholarship.

Traditionally, visiting scholars in the Slavic, Western European and EastAsian fields have predominated at the Institution, along with students of the

World Wars and of international peace movements. Now increasing numbers of

researchers consult the African, Latin America and Middle Eastern holdings

also. Because Stanford's expanding international studies programs—including

those at the University's overseas campuses—encourage the use of foreign

languages, pressure on Institution resources grows correspondingly.

The Hoover Institution library lends eight times as much material as it bor-

rows during a year. For researchers unable to visit the library, the Institution

continues to provide reference and inter-library loan service and all types of

photoreproduction to meet demands that increase each year. For the last fewyears it has actively participated in the Cooperative Africana Microfilm Project

at the Center for Research Libraries,

The installation of equipment for processing positive microfilm from nega-tives in the library's collections has resulted in the development of a substantial

area of service. The aim is to furnish researchers and libraries all over the

world with copies of records and journals that would be difficult—if not impos-sible—to get elsewhere. To this end the Institution published last year two cata-

logs of its titles on microfilm from which copies are available for purchase:

Journals on Microfilm and Russian Language Journals and Books on Microfilm,

Reviewing Boris Nicolaevsky's Power and the Soviet Elite for the New YorkTimes oi November 21 , 1965, Louis Fischer made a comment that applies to the

uniqueness of a number of Hoover holdings. Wrote Mr. Fischer;

'"Alas, because of Harvard's, Yale's, Princeton's and Columbia's negli-

gence, Nicolaevsky's library and his personal services have been purchased bythe Hoover Institution in California, and we Easterners can no longer exploit

him as easily as we once did,"

The Nicolaevsky Collection is generally considered the world's most valu-

25

able privately-held store of materials on European socialist revolutionary move-ments—notably Communism. Ranging from 1861 to the present, it includes

more than 20,000 books and other publications, plus scores of archives^ manu-scripts and letters. In the collection are papers of Trotsky and Bakunin, letters

from Lenin, Zinoviev, and Andreev.

Rare acquisitions are a common occurrence- Last year, for example, camepublications from mainland China on the commune system, together with local

newspapers not usually available through commercial channels. Also in 1965the Institution obtained the report of former Nazi intelligence chief Otto Johnon the 1944 attempt to assassinate Hitler. Following is a partial review of

Hoover holdings in several geographic and topical areas, with current acquisi-

tions placed in the context of the collections* histories.

Africa and the Middle East

Records of the 1919 Paris Peace Conference and of the League of Nations^

acquired as they were written, form the nucleus of the African and Middle East

Collections. Included are reports from the Paris conference on the liquidation

of the Ottoman Empire. The colonial powers who held mandates, or trustee-

ships, from the League in Africa and the Middle East reported annually to the

international body on the areas they supervised.

The African collection began in 1919 when the Belgian and Provisional

German governments gave Herbert Hoover official documents and reports relat-

ing to their colonies in Africa. Materials date from 1870. Most are written in

French or English, but a good number are in German, Italian, Portuguese andRussian. Perhaps the single most valuable collection of documents on African

affairs now housed in the United States is the Institution's microfilmed file of the

Confidential Prints of the British Foreign and Colonial Offices. The file present*

ly extends from 1870 to 1914, the latter limit dictated by the 50-year release

ban of the British Official Secrets Act.

Besides receiving annually the laws, debates gazettes and departmental

reports of most African states Hoover holds a broad assortment of older public

documents. These are most extensive for the Gold Coast (now Ghana), the

former Belgian Congo, Ruanda-Urundi (now Rwanda and Burundi), the Rho-desias and former French Afric^. An example is the Journal Officiel for French

Equatorial Africa (1939^9) and for French West Africa (1904^59). Twoother holdings notable for their long sequences include the Deutsche KoloniaU

zeitung (1884-1922) for German Africa and the Rivista coloniale and Rivista

della colonic italiane (1906 to 1943 for the two) covering Italian holdings.

A mid-1964 exchange agreement that Hoover would receive a set of all

duplicate documents from the archives of former French West Africa in Dakar,

Senegal, has been especially productive- Records on Senegal alone date

26

back to 1819. In 1965, the Institution purchased microfilm from the East

German government's Potsdam archives covering reports on Africa by the

German Colonial Office (1890-1909) and the German East Africa Com-pany (1885^99).

The Hoover Institution continues to receive photocopies—filmed on the

scene-^^K>f archives, clandestine publications, rare pamphlets and other political

materials illustrating the activities of radical and nationalist groups in South

Africa. In addition, the private papers of A. B, Xuma, leader of the African

National Congress in that country from 1940 to 1950, were acquired recently.

The Middle East Collection ranges from the middle of the 19th Century to

the present, divided into the three major language classifications of Turkish,

Arabic and Persian. The Arabic and Turkish sections contain about 20,000volumes each. Holdings of materials in Western languages are extensive, also.

In the Arabic section is documentation of such broad political develop-

ments as the Pan-Islamic and reform movements of Jamal al-Din al-Afghani

and Muhammad 'Abduh. The Muslim Brotherhood is covered well. The sweepof Arab nationalism since World War I is revealed vividly in the collection, with

particular concentration on revolutions in Egypt (1952) and Iraq (1958).

An important source for the last years of the Turkish Ottoman Empire andthe first years of the Republic is the Dagdeviren Collection of letters, manu-scripts, clippings and original government documents. It was purchased in 1952from Saadet Dagdeviren, businessman, scholar and former member of the Turk-ish Parliament.

While small, the Persian section contains valuable areas of emphasis. In-

cluded are the publications of the Tudeh (Communist) Party of Iran and a

complete file of Persian and Iranian parliamentary legislation from 1906 to

1948. Documentation of revolutionary activities in Azerbaijan—^where the

United Nations faced an early, Soviet-prompted crisis in 1946—and in still-

troubled Kurdistan concentrates on the first decade after World War II.

A notable recent addition to the Middle East Collection was 800 boundvolumes of French periodicals, originating on the Continent and in the NorthAfrican territories of Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco. Included are long runs of

such magazines as Revue Africaine.

East Asia

Hoover holdings on Chinese Communism are unsurpassed in the Western

world for uniqueness and comprehensiveness. The period from the founding of

the Chinese Communist Party in 1921 to the Japanese invasion in 1937 is

covered well by archives and private collections. Among these are the follow-

ing:

-r-Jay Calvin Houston Collection. Special emphasis on the influence of

27

Soviet Russia and certain Communist-affiliated organizations from 1917 to

1931,

—Chen Cheng Collection. Named for a former Vice President of the Repub-lic of China^ it is perhaps the most important file of Chinese Communist Party

records ever acquired by a library in the Western world. In 1960, the Honor-able Chen Cheng permitted the Institution to microfilm nearly 1 ,200 documentsof the Chinese Kiangsi Soviet, dated from 1931 to 1934.

—Nym Wales Collection. Includes Communist documents dealing with the

first phase of the Yenan period, 1935-37.From 1937 to the present, the range of the Chinese holdings is extensive.

Among the materials are original writings of Mao Tse-tung, Communist Partyproclamations and long runs of such party news organs as Liberation Weekly{19^1^41), Liberation Daily {1941^41), New China Daily News ( 1938-^47)and People's Daily (since 1946) . Included in a wealth of data on the National-

ist movement and the Chinese Republip*s 1912 founding is the only completeWestern file of the Kuomintang organ, Min^li Pao (1910-13). All the pub-lished writings and speeches of Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai*$hek are in the

collection.

The Japanese collection has material dating from the 1840*s, when the

country first began to receive Western visitors. Among its more notable sets are500 folders of documents from the Japanese Legation in Seoul, Korea(1894-1905) and some 100 confidential reports from the Japanese ArniyHeadquarters in Central China (1937-45). Maj. Lee Telesco, a Stanfordgraduate and leader of Filipino guerrilla forces resisting the Japanese in WorldWar II, contributed to the Institution a large file of documents that includes acomplete set of journals of the Japanese military government in the Philippines.

Pre-1945 materials on Korea consist largely of Japanese diplomatic docu-:

ments leading up to that country^s annexation by Japan in 1910. Supplementingthese are a small group of mimeographed publications of Korean nationalist

and Communist resistance groups following the annexation. The Korean Warof 1951-53 is well documented, though primarily by material originating in

South Korea.

Several hand-written letters from Sun Yat-sen, first President of the Repub-lic of China, are contained in a collection of papers donated earlier this year byLaurence Boothe of Corona del Mar, California. The papers belonged to the

donor's late father, Charles B, Boothe, a prominent California businessman andconcern an offer of financial aid by several American businessmen—CharlesBoothe among them—to speed the overthrow of the Chinese Imperial govern-

ment. As matters developed, the offer never was taken up by the ChineseRepublican forces. Sun Yat-sen and his followers won the 1911 Revolution

without the help of the Americans.

Informative publications on the situation in mainland China have been re-

ceived from Chinese government agencies on Taiwan. Added in 1,965 were

28

microfilms of Chinese periodicals from the 1920*s and of the 1947 Marshall

Mission's reports.

From the Konoe family library in Kyoto, Japan recently came microfilm of

the diaries of Konoe Fumimaro, three times premier of the island nation

between 1937 and 194LImportant improvements have been made recently in the Hoover Institu-

tion's exchange agreements with the National Library of Peking, the National

Diet (Parliamentary) Library and the Cabinet Research Office of Japan, andwith the National Assembly Library in Seoul, Korea.

Eastern Europe

Foresight, quick thinking and patient search characterized the establish-

ment of the East European Collection, coincident with the founding of the Insti-

tution. Three anecdotes illustrate the point.

While he was attending the Paris Peace Conference, Herbert Hoover beganto collect and save the pamphlets and folders slipped under his door at the HotelCrillon. He asked his associates to do the same. When the conference ended, abasic file on the origins of postwar Europe had been amassed.

Dt, Ralph H. Lutz obtained a unique batch of materials from the short-lived

Hungarian Communist regime of Bela Kun in 1919. Now Professor Emeritus of

History at Stanford and a retired director of the Hoover Institution, Dr. Lutzwas in Europe after the Armistice as one of several "historical sleuths" tracking

down records of war and peace for Herbert Hoover. When the Kun regime wasoverthrown, officials of the new Hungarian government received orders to burnall Communist files. A quick and persuasive argument convinced the Hun-garian leaders that history would be served best if the records could be depos-ited in an American research center. They went to the Hoover Institution.

Another of Mr. Hoover's historical sleuths, Dr. Frank A. Colder of Stan-

ford, laid the basis for the Institution's Russian holdings in trips throughEastern and Central Europe between 1920 and 1922. He came back with some25,000 volumes and more than 60,000 pamphlets. Among these items were a200-volume codification of Czarist laws and 145 volumes of ISth-Century Rus-sian diplomatic correspondence.

Adding depth to the Institution's studies of Soviet Communism is the EastEuropean Collection's extensive coverage of the Russia that predated the Bol-sheviks. Its holdings on the last half-century under the Czars and on the brief

rule of the Provisional Government of 1917 are unique in many cases. Recordson the latter regime-^analyzed and compiled for the Hoover Institution by the

Provisional Government's Prime Minister, Alexander Kerensky—yielded three

volumes of major documents. They were published by Hoover in 1961 as TheRussian Provisional Government, 1917: Documents, under the editorship of

Mr. Kerensky and Robert P. Browder.

29

The previously mentioned Nicolaevsky Collection is the latest and mostimportant supplement to the Russian holdings that are the centerpieces of the

East European Collection. Included among the documentary materials onRussia are:

—Archives of the commanders of the White Russian forces that opposedthe Bolsheviks in the civil war of 1918^20.—^The Okhrana Archives, a file of Imperial Russian secret police dossiers

ranging from 1895 to 1917. The dossiers, a veritable "Who's Who"^withphotographs—of the several Russian revolutionary movements^ were shippedsecretly from Paris to Stanford in 1926 by Basil Maklakbv, the last pre-

Communist Russian Ambassador to France- Mr. Maklakov let it be known to

the Soviets who wanted to recover them that he had burned the archives. In-

stead, they had gone to the Hoover Institution.

—Stenographic minutes of all Communist Party congresses, plus steno-

graphic reports from all congresses and executive committee meetings of the

Communist International, 1 9 19-43

.

—Original early newspapers issued by Lenin, Iskra and ProletariU together

with a complete file of the Soviet Communist Party daily, Pravda, The Institu-:

tion's holdings of the periodical, Kommunist, date from 1924.Four original drafts of the 1917 abdication statement of Nicholas II, last

Czar of Imperial Russia, were among the rare and valuable items donated to the

Hoover Institution early this year by Mrs. Nicolas de Basily. Mrs. de Basily is

the widow of a prominent Russian diplomat of pre-Revolutionary days. As alawyer and Foreign Ministry official serving at Imperial Headquarters in Marchof 1917, Nicolas de Basily wrote the four drafts of the abdication statement that

led up to the final proclamation signed by the Czar. The last of the four, in

typescript, bears the handwritten corrections of the Headquarters Chief of Staff,

Gen. Alekseev.

Also contained in the archival materials donated by Mrs. de Basily are

personal accounts by several key figures in the events surrounding the abdica-

tion. In the collection, too, are the original manuscripts of the memoirs of

S. D. Sazonov, Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs from 1910 to 1916 anda personal friend of Mr. de Basily.

Besides the archival materials and a collection of valuable paintings, Mrs,de Basily's donation included a family library of over 8,000 volumes, written in

Russian, French^ German and Spanish and covering the subjects of history,

economics^ literature and the fine arts.

The former diplomat's widow also turned over to the Institution the homeshe and her husband once shared in Florida. Proceeds from the sale of the resi-

dence will establish an endowment fund for the purchase of books on Russia to

be known as the Nicolas A. de Basily Memorial Collection.

Of wme 30,000 books and pamphlets and public documents from the other

30

East European countries, two items in the Polish and Hungarian sections

deserve special mention. During a government reception in Warsaw in 1946,Poland's ex-premier, Stanislaw Mikolajczyk, presented Herbert Hoover withsix bound volumes as "a memento of your visit to Poland." The books wererare files from the Polish underground of World War II, handed to Mr. Hooverunder the very eyes of Communist officials who were then tightening their grip

on the country and wanted the records themselves. Hungary is represented in

the collection by an extensive file of parliamentary debates and other govern-ment documents, including a unique five-volume collection of the official cor-

respondence of Stephen Tisza, Prime Minister from 1914 to 191 8. The ill-fated

Hungarian Revolution of 1956 is covered by newspapers and proclamations ofgroups fighting a losing battle for liberty.

Great Britain and the United States

A number of unpublished memoirs and personal narratives enrich the

Hoover Institution's holdings on Great Britain and the United States, Publishedmaterials date roughly from the turn of the century to the present.

The section on Great Britain is especially rich in the history of that coun-try's labor movement. It includes a complete file of the London Daily Herald,for many years the authoritative organ of the Labor Party, as well as the official

reports of all the party's annual conferences since 1907 and of all Trades UnionCongresses since 1902.

The file of British Communist Party materials contains the London DailyWorker and the news organs of such Communist antecedents as the British

Socialist Federation and the Workers' Socialist Federation,

Material in the U. S. section concentrates on the political, diplomatic andmilitary contexts of the two World Wars, It includes the Edwin F. Gay Collec-

tion on the activities of the War Industries Board, the Alonzo E. Taylor Collec-

tion on the War Trade Board, and the papers and diaries of two advisors to

President Woodrow Wilson during the war period, George D. Herron andDavid Hunter Miller, Substantial documentation of the events of the First

World War also may be found in the separately housed Herbert Hoover Ar-chives-

Among the materials on World War II are the famous diaries of Joseph W.Stilwell, commanding general of U. S. forces in China, Burma and India,

Handwritten originals, Stilwell's notebooks abound with witty and perceptive

comments on men and war in Asia. Revealing of the strength of war's emotionsand the magnitude of its social dislocations are the Institution's archives

of the America First Committee, a major opponent of U. S. entry into the war,and the records of the War Relocation Authority on internment of Japanese-Americans.

31

The Herbert Hoover Archives, recorded primarily in English and spanning

two World Wars, are described more fully in the concluding section of this

report.

Latin AmericaFollowing Fidel Castro's Cuban revolution and its hemispheric repercus-

sions, a gift from the Louis Calder Foundation enabled the Hoover Institution

to resume active collection of Latin American records. A Louis Calder Memo-rial Collection was established. More help came indirectly from a Ford Founda-tion grant to Stanford for studies in this area. Part of the money is being used to

increase the Institution's acquisitions and to accelerate processing of Latin

American materials.

Hoover Institution Research Fellow Theodore Draper is advising on acquisi-

tion of Cuban materials. Purchases already made include several rare journals

and newspapers from the Caribbean island. Typed memoirs of key Cubans whoserved with Castro in the rebel army and in the revolutionary government havebeen deposited at the Institution.

Western EuropeCenterpieces of this collection, again dating to the earliest efforts of Herbert

Hoover, are the materials on Germany* They lead the scholar from the 1870Reichstag debates through World War I, peace negotiations, reconstruction,

the Nazi revolution, and World War II to the present, in a continuum of primary

sources unsurpassed in this country.

Large files of official German records such as the Hauptarchiv (MainArchive) of the Nazi Party are complemented by rare manuscripts, among them

the early diaries of Hitler lieutenants Joseph Goebbels and Heinrich Himmler.

A "find" rivalling the discoveries of Hoover's original historical sleuths, the

Goebbels diaries were unearthed from trash in the courtyard of the Propaganda

Ministry in Berlin following World War IL

When the Soviets threatened to cut off Allied access to West Berlin in 1958,

the U. S- State Department encouraged the Hoover Institution to rescue a vital

story of history. Housed in the Department's Berlin Documents Center was,

among other items, the Nazi Hauptarchiv. The original materials in the archive

were due for return to the West German government and could not be shipped

out. Photoduplication was the only answer. Hoover experts first hoped to do this

selectively—separating historical wheat from ephemeral chaff. After one look

at the Hauptarchiv'$ 1,421 file folders, however, and contemplating the 6,000

miles between Palo Alto and tense West Berlin, the Institution decided to film

the entire collection. Now Hoover is making these valuable documents available

by film duplication to libraries and scholars all over the world.

The historical review of the Nazi period afforded by testimony before the

32)

\

International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg is available at Hoover in manytranscripts and documents.

Rich resources from an earlier upheaval are materials on the German rev-:

olution of 1918-19, consisting of more than 5,000 items in the Leipzig andMonkempller Collections.

Next to the German holdings, France is best represented in the West Euro<pean Collection. Materials on that country's resistance to the Hitler regime'soccupation in World War 11 are especially valuable. The present Fifth FrenchRepublic is a subject of detailed acquisition and analysis. Original sourcematerials from the government and from the rebel National Liberation Front,together with a large array of secondary works, give a broad view of the

Algerian problem that was finally resolved after more than seven years ofbloody fighting.

Hoover has the stenographic protocols of the Congresses of two importantFrench political parties, the Mouvement Republicain Populaire and the Parti

Radical, from 1945 to 1962. Documents on the Communist International in

France include the unpublished memoirs of Henri Barb^, a member of the Com-:intern Presidium from 1928 to 1 930, and recollections of Albert Vassart, repre-sentative from the French Communist Party to the Comintern, 1934-35.

The Italian holdings emphasize the Fascist period, including the works ofMussolini and materials from the anti-Fascist underground of World War II

—

especially the Partito d'Azione of northern Italy.

The section on Spain covers all aspects of the Spanish Civil War, notably inthe Burnett and Gladys BoUoten Clipping Collection.

Interest in Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg dates from HerbertHoover's early relief and rehabilitation work. Belgian government documentsare numerous. Materials from the underground resistance forces of two WorldWars include a complete file of La Libre Belgique. Along with the other mem-bers of such international bodies as NATO, the European Economic Com-:munity and the Council of Europe, Belgium is well represented in the substan-tial Hoover files on these organizations-

The Austrian section is founded on papers from the Austro-Hungarianmonarchy, including the diaries kept during World War I by Heinrich Kanner,at that time editor of the newspaper Die Zeit. More recently added arecomplete records of the meetings of the four-power Allied Commission for

Austria, 1945-55.Among the notable acquisitions of the past year for the Western Europe

Collection as a whole aire:

—A series of rare pamphlets by brothers Karl and Benedikt Kautsky, prom<inent German Social Democrats at the turn of the century. Karl Kautsky, es-

pecially, is remembered for his ringing debates with Lenin over the nature ofcapitalism and the future of international socialism. The pamphlets came fromhis son of the same name, a retired physicia^ living in this country.

33

—Files of Arthur N. Young, a key U. S. negotiator on the question of Ger-

man war reparations, 1921-25, and a leading financial advisor to the Chinese

Republican government.

—Material from the Belgian, Norwegian and French national elections

of 1965.

Special Collections

Many of the Hoover Institution's more than 300 special collections have

been mentioned in preceding descriptions of area holdings. Among those not

previously noted are:

Arabian American Oil Company Collection. Documents^ pamphlets, pic-

tures and maps pertaining to petroleum interests in the Middle East, particu-

larly those of ARAMCO from 1933 to 1955.

Armenian Collection^ Some 5,500 books, pamphlets^ government and

society publications^ and about 120 files of periodicals and newspapers* One-

sixth of the material is in Armenian, with the bulk of the rest written in Russian,

lYirkish, French, German and English. Developments in Armenia under both

Czarist and Soviet administration are documented. Also covered are domestic

and international ramifications of such problems as Turkish persecution of

Armenians and the Paris peace negotiations of 1919-

Afred Fried Library, Books, pamphlets, annuals and serial files formerly

belonging to the famous Austrian jurist and pacifist who won the Nobel Peace

Prize in 1911. Dr. Friedas own manuscript diary covering the years of World

War I in 1 8 volumes is an especially valuable item.

Charles Wellington Furlong Collection^ Documents, papers and personal

records of Col. Furlong, a military aide to President Woodrow Wilson at the

Paris Peace Conference. Included are Col. Furlong*s reports to the American

Mission on political and military conditions in the Balkans and the Middle East-

James A. Healy Collection, A voluminous collection of books, pamphlets,

manuscripts, periodicals and clippings concerning political and cultural life in

Ireland.during the 19th and 20th Centuries. The "Easter Rising'* of 1916

HERBERT HOOVER ARCHIVES

For fully half a century, Herbert Hoover was a towering public figure—:a

man who spoke and wrote at length and about whonc^ prodigious quantities ofwords were expended, Mr. Hoover administered and advised on relief of suffer-:

ing in the wake of two world wars. He served two Presidents as Secretary ofCommerce, then became Chief Executive himWf- He chaired two HooverCommissions studying the reorganiziation and improvement of our government.Even after retirement from official duties, Herbert Hoover stayed busier thanmost persons his age—working for Boys Clubs, for his country and party, andfor this Institution that bears his name.

Mn Hoover's record is familiar to most who will read this report. It is re-

peated here only to convey the magnitude and historical importance of the task

of maintaining the Herbert Hoover Archives now housed on the ninth andtwelfth floors of the Tower.

The Archives contain a broad assortment of papers from several organiza-tions with which Mr. Hoover was affiliated. Among these were World War I

international relief agencies, such as the Commission for Relief in Belgium andthe American Relief Administration, and several World War II groups createdto promote relief to war victims. The papers of Mr. Hoover when he was Secre<tary of Commerce ( 1921--28) and President of the United States ( 1929^33)are at the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library in West Branch, Iowa.

The archives of the Commission for Relief in Belgium contain the files of its

offices in Antwerp, Brussels, London, New York, Paris, Rotterdam and Wash-ington, and include the Commission's diplomatic correspondence with govern-ments, the reports of its field workers, its shipping, accounting, and administra-

tive records, and its general reports on conditions in Belgium and northernFrance.

The American Relief Administration was designated by President Wilson in

1919 to administer relief abroad after the World War I armistice. The ARAgave assistance in 24 countries, including Soviet Russia. Records of such closely

<x)nnected organizations as the European Coal Commission, European Techni-cal Advisers, and the Supreme Economic Council are also held. Papers of otherrelief organizations of the World War I period are also in the Archives, Theseinclude the files of the American National Red Cross and some papers of theNear East Relief Committee.

The U. S. Food Administration was created in August 1917, with HerbertHoover as Food Administrator, to provide for the supply, distribution and con-servation of food within the total war effort. The most important papers relating

to the Food Administration—including those of Mr, Hoover and other topofficials—:are housed at the Institution.

In addition, records of several organizations created to promote relief for

37

famine-stricken populations during and after World War 11 are also in the

Hoover Archives, These include reports of the Finnish Relief Fund, Inc-^ the

Polish Relief Commission, and the National Committee on Food for the Small

Democracies.

In 1946 President Truman asked Mr. Hoover to advise on means of coping

with the famine created by World War Ih Mr, Hoover visited the principal

nations affected to evaluate their minimum needs and to discover possible addi*

tional food resources. The Hoover Archives* files contain memoranda written

by Mr. Hoover and the several people who accompanied him on this trip to

38 countries between March and June of 1946 and on a trip to Germany and

Austria in 1947-

Mr. Hoover's papers relating to his work on the reorganization of the U. S«

Government—as Chairman of the Hoover Commissions of 1947-49 and of

1953-55—are in the Archives. Correspondence, interoffioe memoranda, and

reports are included in these files on the Hoover Commissions.

Some 150 individuals who worked with or admired Mr. Hoover have given

their papers to the Hoover Archives^ including:

Hugh Gibson. Mr. Gibson was U. S. Minister to Poland in 1919-24 and to

Switzerland in 1924-27. He was also Ambassador to Belgium in 1927-33 and

in 1937-38 and Ambassador to Brazil in 1933-37. His papers are not to be

opened until 1 97 1 -

Robert A. Theobald. Admiral Theobald was Chief of Staff, U. S. Pacific

Fleet, 1939. The collection contains correspondence about his controversial

book. The Final Secret of Pearl Harbor^ and classified material which is in a

restricted category.

Paysdn /. Treat. Mr. Treat is Professor of History, Emeritus, Stanford Uni-

versity. The collection contains, among other items, articles, manuscripts, let-

ters and typescripts of diplomatic correspondence dealing primarily with China

and Japan in the last half of the 19th century.

Ray Lyman Wilbur. Stanford's third president served as Secretary of the

Interior in President Hoover's Cabinet from 1929 to 1933. His papers as Secre-

tary of the Interior are housed in the Archives.

Woodrow Wilson. TTiere is an important and highly significant collection of

correspondence between Mr. Hoover and Mr. Wilson covering the years

1914-20,

The Archives is developing and testing a computer-searched, machine infor-

mation retrieval system. An immediate task for the system is complete indexing

of all holdings in the Herbert Hoover Archives. At present, much important

material is buried beyond reach because its subjects are peripheral to the main

body of the collections. Long-run objectives of the project include compilation

of bibliographies and extension of machine techniques to other archives in the

Hoover Institution's library.

38

Additions to the Herbert Hoover Archives over the past two years in-

clude:

—Photographs, tape recordings, television and nniovie film footage, and

scripts of events and programs honoring Mr. Hoover at the time of his death.

-^25 letters from Mr. Hoover to Will Irwin, an old friend from Stanford

student days who wrote extensively on the events of World War I. They were

given by the latter's son, William Hyde Irwin.

-^Six photographs of war debt and reparations commissions formed follow-

ing World War I, with each picture autographed by all members shown. Thephotographs were donated to the Archives by Arthur N. Young.

-^The handwritten draft of a letter sent by Herbert Hoover to people whocongratulated him on his election as President of the United States in 1 928. Thedraft, displayed in the Herbert Hoover Room at the Institution, was donated byMrs. W. Palmer Fuller.

^^^19 cartons of letters, clippings and other material relating to Mr. Hoov-er's relief work during World War I, given to the Institution by Mile, Jacobs-

Pauwels,

The Archives contributed photographs and research to a National Geo-graphic piece on Herbert Hoover that appeared in the magazine's October 1965

issue. Similar contributions were made for Herbert Hoovefs Challenge to

America: His Life and Words, published recently by the editors of Country

Beautiful.

Research assistance also was given to Miss Dorothy Horton McGee for her

revised 1966 edition of Herbert Hoover: Engineer, Humanitarian, Statesman.

Miss McGee's book was first published in 1959.

Looking ahead, the Archives staff is preparing a volume containing the last

speeches of Herbert Hoover and tributes to him at the time of his death.

Of great importance to scholars is another project, a complete bibliography

of all of Mr. Hoover's writings. This will run to more than 2,000 entries. Thetask is complicated by the frequent reprintings given Mr. Hoover's articles,

often under other than original titles. The bibliography is expected to be ready

for publication by the end of 1 966.

WASHINGTON. D.C. 20535

November 10, 1966

STATEMENT BY J. EDGAR HOOVER, DIRECTOR, FEDERALBUREAU OF INVESTIGATION, RELATIVE TO PRESIDENT

HERBERT HOOVER

President Herbert Hoover was one of the great inspirations

of my life. He symbolized for nie the very epitome of personal integrity,

iiiiselfish duty in public service and the living of noble ideals. I considered

him as a close personal friend, an individual whose guidance and wisdom

I treasured.

My friendship with President Hoover started many years

ago when I was a young attorney in the Department of Justice. In fact,

I am proud that it was on the recommendation of President Hoover that I

was appointed Director of the FBI in 1924 by Attorney General Harlan

Fiske Stone. Mr. Hoover was then Secretary of Commerce. At a Cabinet

meeting the Attorney General mentioned that he was seeking a nev/ FBI

Director—an individual who could efficiently reorganize the agency which

had fallen into disrepute. Mr. Hoover personally discussed the m.atter

with the Attorney General and recommended me for the assignment. ^^^ /

Mr. Hoover always had great faith in the FBI and law

enforcement. He was deeply concerned with the problem of crime

and dedicated his entire life to making this a better Nation. He stood

unflinchingly for tlie fundamental values of honesty, integrity and love

of country. He was a great patriot, a great American, a great leader

of men.

As a member of tlie Board of Directors of the Boys'

Clubs of America, I was privileged to serve under Mr. Hoover's

. leadership of this splendid organization. Nothiag made Mr. Hoover

more happy than to be working for the welfare and future of America's

. young people. Here again was evidence of tlie deep humanitariaja feelings

of this man, whose entire life was devoted to service to others. In

Mr. Hoover, the boys and girls of this coimtry had a truly sincere and

dedicated friend.

On Mr. Hoover's 75th birthday, I wrote him a letter,

some words from which reflect the deep admiration I had for this great

American:^

"' "Your life has truly been an inspiration notonly to those of us who have had the privilege of comingunder the influence of your magnanimous personality butto .the millions who have followed your career from theearliest days when you entered the arena of public life,

"The one thing which has impressed me more thananythilig else about you has been your indomitable will. You •

have had setbacks, as every normal human being has, but- each setback was only temporary and you came back stronger

tlian ever because you were right."

nookin of mine. You should look him up."

Mr. Stone called in J. Edgar Hoover on May 10, 1924. Saidhe wanted to appoint him director of the FBI, and would heaccept it.

Dear Ray:

.Thanl^s for your note of November 29th relativeto a footnote "to appear after the Director's comments about

'

President Hoover.

Your footnote appears satisfactory. I v/ouldsuggest, however, that you eliminate my name and predicatethe footnote directly on Don V/liitehead^s ^''The FBI Storyo"Thefootnote cOuld read: -

'^'A valid account of J. "Edgar Hoover's appoint-ment is contained in Don Whitehead's ^The FBI Story' onpages 66 and 67. This account is as follows:" Then, follow

' with the quotes you have included from the book on page twoof your November 29th letter to me.

I would then add additionally the following whichis taken directly from page 67 of the Whitehead book. It

immediately follows the quote you have from the book '\ . , andthe Attorney General was going to 'try Hoover out, '

Mr. Raymond Henle

The portion you might wish to include or you maywish to excerpt from it is as follows:

"The day after Burns resigned, twenty-nine-year-oldJ. Edgar Hoover was summoned to Stone's office. It was May 10,1924. The news had already circulated through the Bureau thatBurns was leaving. Hoover wasn't sure, whether he would be next

merit. Second, promotions will be made on proved ability andthe Bureau will be responsible only to the Attorney General. ^

The Attorney General scowled and said, ^I wouldn^tgive it to you under any other conditions. That's all. Good day. ^

Thus it was, under the guidance of Harlan FiskeStone, that Hoover took over the command of the Bureau of Investi-

as Director.
