have junt appointed Coordinator of Information.
Under thin pian, you will be responsible for
developing and executing the programu necessary to sus-
tain the morale or our people within the national bound-
aries. Colonel Donovan will assume reeponIbility in
respoot to international broalloasto relating to the
achievement or morale ohjootivon abroad. Colonel Dono-
van, as you may know, has already initiated steps to
onrry on ouch short-wave broadcasts to other nations.
I am OUP? that thone arrangements will prove
mont natIsfnotory to both you and Colonel Donovan.

Dear Colonel Donovan:
appreciate very much your note of October
22nd. I am sorry that I did not have the specific informa-
tion with reference to Mr. Lachmannts citizenship when
first wrote. 1 realize, of course, Lhht it would be in-
expedient for your office to employ him under the circ-
umstances. 1 do find that Lachmann filed his declaration
and received his first papers in March, 1937. He
anticipates that within a few months he will receive his
final papers and become a citizen.
I had ci note from Dick Heppner telling me
that be is now assigned to your staff. I certainly
envy you fellows the work you are doing.

The attached letter from Ar. Walter Thayer
recommending Mr. Karl Lachmann for a position
in this office has been passed on to me.
While Mr. Lachmann hee the qualifications of
having worked on Nazi ouoverelve activities
in this country for over a year, he Is of
German birth and apparently still a German
citizen.
The totter would seem to make hip employment
here unwise. I suggest:
1. Thot a letter be written to Mr. Thayer
saying no position is available (do you
want me to draft one?)
2. That I get in touch with Mr. Lochmenn
through Captain Roosevelt and see if I
can get the results of his studies.

In the fall of 2039 a mass of documentary material camera-
ing Masi propaganda and general subversive activities in this
country and Latta America was submitted to Secretary Ioims. I
was assigned to at this material, analyse it, and collaborate
with the expert who had collected it in the preparation of more-
bensive reports. I larked on this matter exclusively from Decamp
box' 1939 to Deoember 1940. Apart from the general ara4s1s of the
material submitted, it was my task to oonmider the legal points
involved and I dealt with these in several memoranda, some of which
will be found on the attached list.
During the course of this work a 336-page report wee oompleted
entitled "The Masi Movement in the United States'. This report
sot forth in detail, on the basis of official Masi souroes sad map.
tortilla, the Masi plans for organisation in the United States and
their attack against this country. Material also was oompiled oft.
corning the actual setup of the various Masi organisations in this
oountry, their functions, leaders, membership, and their specific
role in the comprehensive Masi world organiaation.
While Masi plans and organisations in the United States cam-
stituted the more immediate ob3ective of this work, other fields
were also covered in the materials transmitted. Them included
the air power of Masi Germany, the Tripartite Pact in its rela-
tion to the vinited States, and, most important, the philosophic
and strategic basis of Masi world imperialism.
During this period numerous conferences took plea* with ether
Governmental agencies interested in the same natters Ithieh per-
mitted an exchange of information and the study of some of their
confidential files on Masi activities in the United States.
Since Deoember 1940, most of 4, spare time amd WS, of MI
official work have been devoted to further stedy of this and
related problems. Tbus I was assigned tomporaray to the Oom-
mittee for National Morale by Secretary lakes this summer in
order to oonduct a study of Government morale armies amd ac-

Subject: liesignation
When I joined your staCf in L.,;eptembor, I was firmly
convinced tittt 1, togothor with some of my colleagues,
would '00 abio to a real contribution to your work.
plunged into the tut you assigned me with Great
enthusiasm and within a month I built up an organiza-
tion com-osd of nine groups in various parts of the
country and a co.imittoo or ten or the foremost psycho-
analysts In MlerIca to collaborate with me. The entire
or6aniatiou, wIth the excgTtion or mysolf, wall on a
volunteer oasis. The preliminary attacks We made on,
some or the com:Lieated problems were very gratifying
to me and :ovved to strengthen my conviction that this
rww approach could bo most fruitful.
At that time I envisaged a unit which could counsel
your staff, particularly the radio section, on the
psychological sicsuificanco of somo of the major
domestic and foreign trends together with ways and
moans of dealing with them. tiardly had we begun our
work bL.foro the Unit. became involved in difricultios.
Firstly, my own status In the organiation remained
ludo ter mina Lt OV r a considera Me period of Lime.
recondly, the creation of 0.10.V. limited the areas in
w..1e41 wo ists permItted to work. Thirdly, although
L v.as proevedLng on an expLoratory basis, with the
understanding that. Lho pt.r.lianont staff or the Unit
would ho augmontcd if our 11:proach hold promise, die
budgot covering even this exploratory period eneoun-
Lorod obsLaclos alaA aelayed our operation. Fourthly,
la order to ovorcomo obsLaeloS, the Unit WAS
made a subsidiary soetion of the Division of Psychology
with which it has litIle in vommon ap,trt from the fact
Ln t; IL cleats with the same problems. This union has
not boon a happy ono and has served to hamper the
aetivitIct; oV Li,c Unit willeh deals with these problems
from an entIrt,ly dirCorent point or viow. Fifthly,
the awards under the notiget wore so inadequate that
thoy praetLcally erLpplod the oporatIon of the Unit
and its membors discussed at length whether or not it
was worthwhile for us to continue at all on this basis.

IMP
A unit which cen scarcely operate in times of peace
is hopelessly inadequate to function advantageously
in tim,s of war. The structure of the Unit would
have to be radically altered in order to effectively
meet t4,e pre.ent emergency. Volunteer groups which
may work satisfactorily in Welles of deuce become cum-
bersome and ineffectual in time of war when speed,
coordination, .womptness and eleeticity are essential.
It may, eowever, be feasible to use them on long-range
problems and for the pureose of supplying additional
informetion. such a unit, if it is to be really ef-
ficient end nelpful to Lne radio branch and other
sections of Jour organization, should now be built
around a gruup of titre? or four expert psychoanalysts
located in the Washington Ofl'ice who are free to
analyse the news as it reaches the office and promptly
diecuss its psychological significance, devise tech-
niques or Lectics for dealing with developments as
they arise and be e.t tee disposal of the radio group
or others for consultation and advice. In addition,
their function would be to work out, in collaboration
with groups located outside Vetshington, a sound psy-
chological orrenvive .1.gainst the enemy.
Under prevailing circumstances, I can sec little or
no dossibility of creeting such a unit. Rather than
to strucegiu along on our :,re:,ent basis, which permits
no more than a feeble paSS at Lhe moet urgent problems,
I think it the part of wisdom to eithdraw com,,letely
from the scene of.oferations. To remain would serve
no ueefal parpoee and would only discredit my profes-
sion. It is with deep regret, therefore, that I ask
you to accept my resignation as Chief of the Psycho-
analytic bection, to take effect as soon us may be
convenient to you.
Should an occasion arise in tho future in which I might
be of any assistance, I would consider it an honor if
you will permit me to be or service.

Dear Bill:
I am returning herewith the memorandum of
November 6 to you from Mr. William L. Langer, and
the attached letter to Mr. Lnnger from Mr. K. D.
Metcalf, Director of the Harvard Library, on the
subject of the publication of Trotekyls Life of
Stalin.
I have diseussed this with our People here
and we don't see any possibility of doing any-
thing with regard to this proposed publication.
In any event, I do not see that any book of this
kind could have any substantial effect upon our
relations with the Soviet Union ao I feel certain
tho freedom of preen and Publication is well known
to that Government, and cur relations with the re-
sponsible Soviet officials are on such a firm basis
at the present time that there is a complete con-
fidence in our determination to assist them in
their war effort.
We worked here all day yesterday on the
Finninh situation in connection with Whitney's
cable whieh you sent over yesterday morning, and,
nn you know, delivered to your people at seven
o'clock last night a draft of a possible round-
robin letter to the President of Finland.

McDermott and Pell were prepared to cooperate
to our talent extent in diecuesing the matter
with you today in accordance with the Sooretaryle
desire that everything poneible be done AM far
AO we are concerned.
You will have noticed the Secretaryle otate-
ment on the mublect of the Finnieh note, which we
all thought here nhould be made, at 'intuit in pre-
liminary form, in order to offeet any of the in-
fluence the Finniph note iteelf might receive if

Trotsky's 'Adovi Seeks Injunction Against "Stalin"
',eon Trotsky's book, "Stalin", which Harper announced
for publication late this fall, is the object of a suit on behalf
of Trotsky's widow, Natalia Sedova Trotsky, for an injunction
to restrain Harper from publishing the Lnglish translation by
Charles Yialamuth. The motion for an injunction was filed in
New York Supreme Court on October 27th by George Novack,
assignee for ine. Trotsky. Lr.Y,alamutn and officials of
Harper were named as defendants. The injunction is sought
on the ground that the translation contains interpolations
by the translator whicil are "factually and politically con-
trary to the viewpoint of Trotsky," and amount to "a defama-
tion of his beliefs." TI,e otion will be argued on November
5th.
Affjdavits with the injunction were filed by Joseph Vanzler,
a friend of Trotsky; Jean van Heijenoort, his former liter-
ary secretary; and Albert Goldman, attorney for nae. Trotsky.
The affidavits state that the former Soviet leader had approved
six chapters of the translation before he was assassinated in
August, 3040, and had written three other chapters wholly or
in part, but that the rest of the book was to be based on
notes he had left. The translator expanded these notes, and
Yr. Vanzler's affidavit ciiarges that "::.alamuth's perversion
of Trotsky's thour:ht seeminn:ly placed Trotsky in an ideologi-
cally embarrassInr: position in which he reversed himself in
his former oninion oC many events."
Harper has set no definite publication date for the
book.
Taken from T.iL UL;LISHEit'S ',ILLKLY for November 1, 1941, p.1748
Vanzler and van Ireijenoort were here at the Library
a year ago working on the Trotsky papers.

1 know there are compliolted connectionc with
C;4r. Goldman, who was Trotsky's repre3entative
in thin country.
The whole point or thin business, as I. see it, is
that the publication or Trotokytn Lire or Stalin

upon our rolattonn with the prenont qunsian Govern-

LgVY, M CHARIX8
December 4, 1941
M. Charles Levy (I think he has added the name
"Savoy" to his name) came to see me today. He stated that
he knew there were a good many stories circulating about
him and he wanted to get his record straight; and, on the
advice of our mutual "friend", Mr. Sivirsky, he had come
to Ushinrton for the purpose of seeing me In the matter.
asked him to tell MA what the stories wore. He then
recalled the four-year-long prosecution at which he was
convicted and finally exonerated on the "false" charge
of fraudulent practises involving him in the famous
Stavisky arfair. He then produced a file and exhibited
to MA a very lengthy summing uv of the prosecuting at
in the last stage of the trial. It was perfectly clear
that the prosecuting attorney was working for Levy's vin-
dication; it contained eulogieh instead of acousations.
Charles Lovy went on to say that ho had had no connection
with the firm whioh was involved in the trial for two years
before the aate of the offenses charged to it, and that the
whole business had boon made up out of whole cloth in order
to attack Chantemps through him, Chautemps being, at that
Limo, a very close friend of his.
Later in the conversation, Charles Levy expressed
his interest in taking part in a proposed company which
would operate the Axis ships seitea by the Mexican govarn-
ment. He was afraid that enemies of his might resurrect these
ancient charges against him in order to upset the project.
I asked him what he had done in the matter. He replied that
he had been to the Department of State and exhibited the
documents he had shown me and that the State Department had
expressed, complete satisfaction, but had asked to see the
"authentic documents of the court." He then showed ma a
cable which he had just received stating that the documents
in question ilea been obtained and were an route.
I told him that I had no knowledge whatsoever of
shIpping matters and that I supposed, in the final analysis,
the question he spoke of, insofar as it relates to the United

To Dr. 3. P. Baxter, 3d
Sulamm: Offer of services by Mr. K. C. Li
VitgiE4.7
.2
61( yi33
Dart December 20, 1941
Attached are a numbor of documents with reference
to the offer of sorvioes which Mr. K. C. Li has mad*
to President Roosevelt. The note to me is from
Mr. J. Weldon Jones, Chief of the Fiscal Division of
t) Bureau of the Budget. Mr. Jones was formerly
Aoting High Commissioner to the Philippine Islands.
He knows Mr. Li well.
Mr. Li is probably the most important non-official
Chinese in the United States. He is a man of great
wealth, and has been engagod for a great many years in
large tranaaotions for the Chinese Government. You will
note that Mr. Jones has informed Mr. Li that he has
brought Mr. Li's name to my attention as a member of
Colonel Donovan's staff. I should like to suggest that
two aotione be taken in connection with Mr. Li.
1. That Colonel Donovan write him a letter
in the general tenor of the attached draft.
C. That, if Mr. Li assents, it be suggested
to the Foreign Information Service that they
broadcast to China his offer of services to
the Presidont of the United States. In case
this telegram is given to the Foreign Informa-
tion Bervioo, I suggest that the phrase "and
as the father of five American children" be
deleted from it. Also, I presume that there
should b* * clearance wis:h the President's
orrice b*tore this message to him is published,
unless the message has already been released to
the pries.
Further information about Mr. Li may be obtained
by the Radio Section from Mr. John Fairbank.

Dear Dill:

The names I suggested yesterday were: T. H. Thomas, 32 Hawthorn Street,
Cambridge; and Captain W. D. Puleston, U.S.N., the biographer of
Mahan, who seems now to live in WashinLton though he has been, I
believe, a professor at the naval academy. I an adding the
following names which have occurred to Te since I spoke to you:
Allan Weatcott, who is a professor at Annapolis and s the
editor of selections from Mahan's writings.

Harcld Sprout, who, with his wife, is the author of two very
interesting books on American sea power, publ_shed b the
1-rinceton University Press. The Sprouts seem to live in
Prinf.eton. 111.13k..k.k
For the Far Mst, among others, 1 should seriously consider:
Professor A. Whitney Griswold of Yale, even though he is by no
means an uncritical supporter of the Administration's Far
Eastern policy. Perhaps I should not say "even though," because
I think it quite desirable that other points of view sh u)d be
represented in any judgments about the Far East.
Dexter Perkins, professor of history at the University of
Rochester and author of the best recent book on the histor of
the Vonroe Doctrine.

Along the same lines, now already in the State Department, I think
you should see Thomas K. Finletter and Professor Carl Joachim
141A4t Frederich, who is also professor of government at Harvard, a student
orFRInkganda in general and of German propaganda in particular.

Perhaps you will not remember me by name, but you will
remember Ire as the person who callfid on you last //larch to iliggest scan( kind of
diplomatic action between President Roosevelt and Churchill to do SCIME: 'iin to
reconcile the ruffled feelings of the French Navy to regain their gocd-will,and
bring the French Fleet on our side, rather than seeing -mother "editerranean
naval battle disastrous to both sides la t'iis conflict. Knowing the French
as much as I do, I an alLolutely positive that something can be done. But as
usual our motto is 'e can not do it'. But 8eri1n and Tokyo can and seem to
be able to do V.I. imrossible. I am ,,ot running the foreign policy of this
country, nor do t ye ,.itc:11;olitical influence, but I am part nd parcel of
the United -tates. nence I feel that some initiative should be taken b.:: us,
rather than wait till vie are caucht, tam. act. I believe in acting ahead of
time. I leave this su.,:estion entirely to you. You, have entree t o the ;Mite
House, and I do not, although I gave sane service in 1936 doinr: Press vrork for

My dear Bill,
_
October 31, 1941
A friend of mine whom I have known
since we were in college together at Oxford be-
fore the last war, Armand Lowengard (he is a
nephew of Lord DUVO011 and at present the presi-
dent of Duveen Brothers) ban just arrived from
Marseilles.
He has a great deal of information
which I think would be of great interest to our
government. May I suggest that he be interviewed.
He is stopping at he St. Heart Hotel
at present. I have known Lowengard since Lag and
consider him a very reliable parson.
hope you will forgive ma for bothering
you with this.
Yours very sincerely,
Col. William J. Donovan,
Hotel St. Regis,

This offioe has several funotions of, which two
are of importanee to the defense program.
The Researoh and Analysis Division, under J611103
Phinney Baxter, 3rd, assembles and coordinates
inrormationA for the President. Thie information
ohiefly ooncerns the basic problems efreoting national
security and consists of coordinating and oollating
aeoret information made available through the
Intelligenoo Services of the Army, Navy, and Federal
Bureau of InveEltigation, and of other seoret, oonfidential

I would appreciate it if you would emphasise
to members of your staff the geeat importance of con-
centrating 411 contacts with other governmental depart-
ments or agencies or individuals for the purpose of
obtaining information or service through the Liaison
Office.
Investigation indicates that in many instances
our liaison has broken down largely because of the
duplication of effort and annoyance created by unauthorised
contacts made directly by individuals in our several
sections.
This, of course, does not eppli to those
contacts a.lready ostabliohed by this office for
representatives of the various sections.

Please note and discuss with any members of
the Liaison Office staff with whom you are associated in
the performance of your duties that the following principles
and policies will serve aa the basis of future procedure
in the fulfillment of our duties as representatives of
ColoneJ Donovan, Chief of the Office of the Coordinator
of Information.
We are now on a war footing and our efforts and
time will be geared accordingly?assume that we are on a
military basis and in the service of our country as fully
as though we were all in uniform.
The functions of the (ordinator depend on his
receiving information and service promptly and efficiently.
As his liaison officers, that duty rests with us. When we
fail to function, the application of information to military
requirements breaks down with possible disastrous effects
on strategic demlAnds and needless loss of life.
Urgent assignments should therefore be attacked
as promptly as possible and completed regardless of hours.
'Absolute secrecy und discretion shoulu be maintained
at all ttmes. The use of telephones for discussing secret
matters should be avoided. No matters concorninoany part
of our daily office work should be mentioned outside, however
trivial. The names of visitors to our office Should not be
mentioned.
?
When discussing questions in the office, make certain
no strangers are present.
Highly secret documents should be handled only
personally in trunsmitting them to others for whom they
may be destined.
Let us try to obtain results in our dealings with
others on the basis of our ability to do a job rather than
by authority of our appointment.

MONANDUM
TOI Dr. Longer
MU, Walter L. ?fright, Jr.
Wevesber 12, 1941
NUM! Suggested Adminiotrative Relationelip Setwees the Division of
Special Infotmation and the Library of Congress
(Wed on a Discussion With Dr. L. N. Ammo of the Library
of Congroes on November 10, 1941)
The formative 040 of the Division of Special Information is now
practically over. imphaeis Should, therefore, be shifted from problems
of organisation, which hive been effectively handled by Dr. Oriffith,
to probloms of reeearch, which constitute the twodamental sim of the
Division. Dr. wane now suggests that the leen of Dr. Oritfith's part-
time services to the Uivision of Special Information be terminated and'
A relatively permanent oppointment to this liaison position, be made.
The general outline of responsibilities and authorities sketched below
represents the sudgestions which come out in my conversation with
Dr. irmans,
1. Title and Authority. The apotntee should have tho title of
Deputy or Assistant areas, of Research and should be fully sethorised
to act for the Director of Research in aAl matters pertaining teadminiedk
trative relationships between the Division of Special Information, as on
agency of the Office of the Coordinator of Information, and the Librory
of Congrees. The decision* of his Deputy -would, of couree, be subject
to the approval of the virector of Research, but the appointment of a
Deputy would be useless Ivithout the authority sprained, for one of its
principal purposes would bu to relieve the Director of a oonsidareble
mass of business.
2. gualificationo. The Deputy nirector *Weld be a penes therm
oughly familiar with iie arrangements and relationships raw in fern
as between the Division of Special informatioa and the Library et Ocom
gross. Me should Note at least some preview's administrative experiesse
and should enjoy the unquestioned rvispoet? professional eat pereeeal,
of the Smiting% Chiefs of the Division of Speelal Infermatise?
3. jpLIona?eautkiaareseesa. Moe it has bees engterbed-
that the fliiiiITTPWWW-liiiiffIrirght be at the asp* time a Seeillee
Chief of the Division of Speoial Information and, therefore, able te

devote only part of hie time to his duties as Deputy, the follor$141
arrangements are suggestods

4. The Deputy at plea to be prrIent in his *Moe is the Library
of Congress Amex for at least two hours daily. he would prom
sweably also maintain an *Moe at the headquehere of the
Division of Spools/ Information at 1%th and II Streets, but it
is doubtful whether he would require the oervioos of a Palm
ttme metiretary there. It would probably be wiser to trelksfer
his seLretary to the Library of Congress Wise.
b. The Deputy would require a tallobtime administrAtive aseistem!t,
who aliwuld be on duty at the Library of Comgross all of eesery
working day.
c. The Deputy's Wimp should be the *Ls oheenel tmr momnaiestion
between th2 Cnisfs sad otaff meebere of the **graphical iss.
time on one head, sad the Library of Ciongrome on the other
hand.
d. The Deputy should have authority over all Library of Congress
staff who work directly for the Division of Opeoial Informe4ion
but are not members of amseraphisal Bootless.
is The Deputy should approve, on behalf of the Onion of the
Coordinator of Information, ell .tiff appointments of sObw
professional grade in that part o! the Division of Speeial
Information which is housed in the Library of Negros,.
f. The Deputy should have no resposoibility whatever in oenneehion
with the assignment of moon* problem. to Osegraphioal is
tions or with research reports prepared by those Sestions.
go. The Deputy should deal, as meeessary, with the Chia. etother
Divisions of the Library or 00agross owealsiehttisg with thow
La writing whenever possible. _cispiec of his sesereede la

is net the case, the Chiefs of Seetioms aed their staff members will a*
smeopt the Deputy's decisions without conetaat appeals to the. Urea*,
? Reeeerch end to Dr. IMMO.
3. A really (*.potent administretive assistamt to the Deputy
amour most be appointed. Otherwise the positiom would require the fuka
time of the Deputy.
4. The Deputy Direetor must maee himself oompletely familiar with
the possibilities and with the limitations ef the Library of Oen/roes end
meet make these possibilities and limitation, clear to the Direst., ot
Researeh
*ad to the Section Chiefs.
y. The Deputy Director most understand fully the alas Ana
sales of the Division of Special Information and most devote himeelfIe
the task of realising the aims of the Division of Special Information
within the framework of the Librery's organisation.
6. Arrengement for transwitation between the Library of Cengrode
sod the headquarters of the Coordinator of Inhumation at 25th and I Stroati
more expeditious.* then the present bus servioe most be provided fir the
Deputy, ft/Amities the lee. of time involved in frequent journey. beak
amid forth will mike it impossible to combine the functions of the Deputy
Director of Remearch and Section Chief.
It is believed that the schen, of operations outlined above provides
a basis on which the position of Deputy Direotor cif Reeser* cam be sok Op,
and oan function uoefullb oven if the Deputy Dino*, is at the sem UAW
the Chief of a Oeographioal section. this outline is submitied, to -yeu as
a suggestion, in the hops that you will give it oarehl ooesideratiii
and that you will make any modifications *his* may seen to you desirable.
