INTRODUCTION
1. Documentary evidence on clandestine Communist organi-
zation-and practices is rare. For this reason an illustrative
group of authentic documents from the archives of the Communist
Party of Italy (PCI), discovered in 1927, has been assembled here
for study purposes, and also in order to present in some detail
the type of secret communications once maintained and filed by a
Communist Party.
2. The documents assembled were part of the PCI archives of
1923, seized by the Questura of Milan in 1927. The scope and
breakdown of these archives will be discussed below at greatar
Length. For an understanding of the documents in general It may
be useful to review briefly the historical background of the
early years of PCI.
3. In 1923 the Communist Party of Italy (PCI) was in its
formative stage. Created officially early in 1921 when Commuaist
elements under Antonio Gramsci broke away from the (Italian)
Socialist Party, the PCI found itself confronted, after two
years of initial organizational efforts, by the intransigait
regime of Mussolini who had obtained power in October 19226 1923
brought a wave of arrests of Communists allegedly involved in a
plot against Mussolini. 1924 saw the (first) Secretary General
of the Party, Bordiga, leaving the PCI, together with a fraction
of Trotskyites. In the same year a left-wing Socialist splinter
group, the Partito Socialista Massimalista, joined the PCI. More
arrests followed in June 1924; yet in the general elections of
1924 the PCI had polled more than a quarter of a million votes
and established itself as the strongest of the opposition
parties. By 1926, however, Mussolini declared all opposition
parties illegal, and from 1927 on, the PCI led a precarious
underground existence, limited to minor organizational and Pro-
pagandistic activities.
4. The archives of 1923, then, pertain to a period of in-
tensive organizational activity, crowned, apnarently$ by the
success in 1924. Although not outlawed technically, the politi-
cal Party organization of the PCI was constantly on the defensive
vis-A-vis the Fascist police. The structure and organization of
the still legal Party machine followed the pattern prescribed by
the Comintern.
5. As a result of early police pressure, many Italian Com-
munistwere forced to seek refuge outside of Italy, and ?arty
organizations in exile sprang up gradually. Paris became the
main center of PCI actiirities abroad; Switzerland was Also emp-
loyed as an operational base; PCI connections and, probably, PCI

organizations in Berlin existed as early as 1921. Documents in
the archives under discussion indicate that the foreqign organi-
zation of the PCI may have been scattered even more widely: a
list of foreign addresses of the "C7" (probably Central Executive
or Central Committee) of the PCI, as well RS addresses found
in possession of the PCI leader Umberto Terracini, pertain to
Berlin, ITienna, Stockholm, Riga, Moscow, Madrid, Klagenfurt,
Innsbruck, Athens, Paris, Marseille, Menton?, Sofia, Bucharest,
Now York, Prague, Buenos Aires, Rosaria de Santa Fe, Melbourne,
Brussels, Cairo, Alexandria, etc* At this late date it is, of
course, Impossible to ascertain the precise significance of these
foreign addresses?whether they were forwarding points for cor-
respondence with the indigenous Party or with exiled PCI persona-
lities or organizations; whether they were set up for correspon-
dence on matters of political routine, or clandestine operations;
whether or not they were also at the disposition of the Comintern.
(Umberto Terracini, e.g., was a member of the Executive Committee
and the Praesidium of the Comintern in 1921, 1922.) In any case,
the foreign connections of the PCI were far flung, even during
the early period to which the documents pertain.
6. In organizational terms, the documents reveal unmistak-
ably that there existed, in addition to the political--overt PCI
organization, a highly secret "illegal " organization, segregated
in conspiratorial terms from the normal Party organIzation. This
secret apparatus consisted apparently of a central (national) or-
ganization and numerous regional offices and/or functionaries
operating parallel to, kInd in conjunction with, the regional and
local Party organization. Unknown to the rank and file and
identified only to key functionaries on the national and regional
level, this secret network of "fiduciaries" performed offensive
and defensive functions of an extremely sensitive nature which,
for reasons of security, could not be entrusted to the normal
and therefore publicly exposed Party organizations. Those func-
tions are defined in the documents under discussion; they a-01par-
ently embraced: a) Maintenance and control of a secure communi-
cations network within the PCI for the transmission of corres-
pondence to and from PCI headquarters to subordinate Party organ-
izations and, obviously, also within the secret network itself.
It is not clear whether communications with the Comintern were
also carried out by the network. (This extensive communication
chain consisted of a string of secure forwarding addresses to
which communications were transmitted in sealed envelopes carry-
ing a ceded designation of the addressee. The sealed envelopes
were placed in an outer envelope addressed to the person repre-
senting the forwarding point. At the forwarding point the com-
munication appears to have been picked up by a secure inter-
mediary of the addressee.)
b) Organization of illegal border-crossings.
c) Planning- and maintenance of a pare-military insurrectionary
organization. (Although thedDcuments do not reveal the exis-
tence of an extensive para-military force, they indicate clearly

that
that planning and development of military cadres, particularly
through training in Moscow, proceeded according to plan.)
d) Information procurement through secret penetration of the
government apparatus, including armed and security forces, as
well as hostile political groups and parties.
e) Technical support, e.g., maintenance of arms caches, provi-
sion of arms and ammunition, maintenance of secret meeting places
JIld archives, secret printing facilities, etc.
f) Development and recruitment of personnel suitable for work
in the secret apparttus.
7. The outline of this secret organization, operating along
side the normal and more or less public political Party organi-
zation, corresponds strikinglyi to the notorious Apparat of the
(pre-Hitler) German Communist Party., It may be fair to state
that PCI organized this "illegal" apperatus in accordance with
the Conditions of hdmission to the Comintern, which requested
that Communist Parties should "create everywhere aparallel
illegal apparatus which at the decisive moment should be of
assistance to the party to do its duty toward the revolution."
The documents assembled here furnish the only known authentic
documentation of such an "illegal, parallel organization." (Some
doubt remains what the actual Party nomenclature was for the il-
le-galatlaio 'The. term "ragruppamento" crops up in references
but it is not possible to ascertain its applicability.)
80 The documents also reveal some of the connections of PCI
with the Comintern, particularly financial subsidies received.
These are also unique because they illustrate to a certain extent
the budgetary policies of the Comintern.
Do The PCI archives from which the documents were taken are
not available in their entirety. However) from existing des-
criptions of a large portion of the seized files, the filing
system can be reconstructed at least partially. The files were
numbered in successive order and bore subject headings. They
contained both cryptograms and documents in clear text. So far
as can be judged, the cryptograms pertained to the activities and
correspondence of the "illegal" ap-)aratus described above, to
intra-Party communications and matters of international Communist
organization(s) and connections h brief description and summary
of the more significant files follows:
#68: Entitled "BERLIN", this file contains cryptograms, ard re-
flects apparently some of the activities of the local or-
ganization of the PCI in Berlin.

10. In addition to the preceding files, envelopes were
found which contained accounts of the financial transactions of
POI, o.g.:
1922 - General estimate for 1923
1922 - General Expenses 1 January to 30 June
1921 - General estimate for 1922
1921 - General Expenses for 1921
1922 - I. Summary of accounts "Review" (Naples management)
1922 - I. Summary of accounts of Second office (Labor
Union affairs)
1922 I. Summary of accounts "Agrarian Section."
11. A last envelope is entitled "ROMPICAPI" and contains an
inside envelope marked "Index - Addresses of the C.E." This
index is a cryptographic list of forwarding addresses for the
more important PCI members for the year 1921 - 1923. Among
these are numerous forwarding addresses outside of Italy (see
above, para. 5).
12. Part One (see below) presents the most illustrative
samples of documents contained in the archives of 1923. They
have been grouped under three headLn,s;
I. "Illegal" Organization of the Communist Party of Italy
Subversion of Army and Navy
III. Comintern

Through them direct insight can be gained into the workings of
the secret "illegal" apparatus described above (see paragraphs 7
and 80)
13* Part two (see below) represents an investigative ex-
periment. Part two lists in alphabetical order a selection of
foreign addresses apparently utilized by the PCI for internation-
al communications. The precise nature and significance of these
communications cannot be established in all cases. In some
cases it is perceatible from the documents and entries them-
selves. The basic stock of "forwarding " addresses stems from
the IMMPICATI envelope (see above under paragraph 11). Others
appear to have been in possession of the PCI leader Umberto
Terractni. Where possible, the entry in the original document
has been reproduced in its entirety under heading "A" appearing
in the text under the name of the person indicated. Under head-
ing "B" other currently avai labia information on the person is
listed in order to determine the significance of the person or
his former relationshin with PCI and the Communist movement* It
is anticipated that through continued investigation of these
addresses, Persons with hitherto unknown Communist connections may
be uncovered, and possibly some individuals with clandestine
assignments. The current status of this experimental investiga-
tion indicates that several persons utilized by PCI in the
early twenties haae become public leaders in the movement, and
that the many intervening yeirs make a back-track investigation
difficult. Nevertheless, persons utilized for conspiratorial
purposes represent permanent targets of interest, and may be
profitably included in a working record.
14. This collection of rare documentary evidence on
"illegal" and conspiratorial organization and practices of the
Communist Party ?of Italy should furnish valuable study material
to persons concerned with investigat lye problems. They throw
into relief the need for the acquisition of current materials of
a similar nature.
10 Clearly the present paper opens wider perspectives on
the approach to the problem of analysis and coverage of secret
Communist activitiea, past or current. Communist conspiratorial
organizations and practices are always skillfully concealed and
securely administered. If the current undercover capabilities of
the international Communist movement are to be adequately reveal
ad and its structure and ramifications re-created, aa intensive
and well co-ordinated effort must be made to deploy and support
adequate forces capable of meeting the challenge of the "profes,
sional revolutionaries" whose professional 'approach is reflected
in the early documents presented in this caper, and whose pro-
fessional skill is likely to have increased since the days when
the secret apparatus of the Communist Party of Italy was created.

1. In order to preserve the character of the documents
their translated text has been rendered so as to represent the
original version as closely as possible.
2. Attention is called to the fact that names appearing in
the correspondence are 'often pseudonyms. Pseudonyms were
assigned to functionaries for obvious security reasons, and were
frequently changed in order to prevent identification. It is
entirely possible that the same pseudonym was used for several
individuals. The well-known founder of CPI, GRAMSCI, was cover-
ed by the pseudonym MASCI. Palmiro TOGLIATTI's pseudonym was,

at one time, PALMI. Umberto TERRACINI held the pseudonym of
URBANI. It is worth noting that both TERRACINI and TOGLIATTI
are now at the helm of the Party, and are obviously able to
draw on their considerable conspiratorial experience of the past
3. Some of the communications bear indicators which may
reflect name and place of origin. The Comintern correspondence
from Moscow (see pages 36 and :5T)is indicated by a series of
numbers beginning in all cases with 33, and followed variously
by 01, 001, 002.
4. The cypher system used by PCI at the time is reflected
to a certain extent (see pages 15, 16). However, a full
technical analysis of the system is beyond the scope of this
presentation.
5. In order to follow the financial transactions of PCI as
reflected in the documents, it should be born in mind that the
average exchange note of the lire in 1923 was 4.6 cents per lira!
6. The addresses found in TERRACINIts notebook and
reflected among the conspiratorial addresses in Part Two may
pertain to a period preceding and up to 1927 since there are
indications that the notebook was seized in 1927. Some of the
addresses in TERRACINIts notebook duplicate those in the
ROMPICAPI folder.

I. "ILLEGAL"ORGANI2ATION OF THE COMMUNIST P(IRTY OP ITt,kLY (PCI)
A. Letter to MAO Cervi, Milan, 6 Aucrust 1)23.
TO DINO CRVI MILANO 6 August 1)23
We write to you with considerable delay in the time fore7
seen: We hope you will pardon us. Unfortunately the nature
of our,,(Editorls ComMentt .11 word appears to be ommitted).....
impedes that regularity which we would like also.
In the present writing we will limit ourselves to fix th(
prinCipal points of your activities and those which most
adapt themselves to writing: we will withhold those points
which are emitted for the sake of brevity to explain them
verbally to you, and which points on the other hand will
not prejudice those which we hereinafter set forth.
Your principal tasks (and those of all of our fiduciaries)
may be defined as follows: 1) to give to the Party an.
internal arganination which is capable of resisting any
reactionary blow; 2) to give to the Party a military organ-
ization which at any detrmined moment may be transformed
into an offensive corps; 3) endow the Party with those
means of information which are rendered necessary in the
development of revolutionary activity; 4) endow the Party
with various technical means; 5) elevelop in your own
Province the network of fiduciaries and the means of contact
(independent of any'other cause). At this point we pass to
the illustration of each point.
1. The form of organization called "Raggruppamentin is
that which best lends itself to the defense of the relations
of the directive center with the comrades, as I have already
had occasion to make clear to you.
In interesting yourself in the new form of internal or-
ganization of the Party, you do not invade an entity not
reserved to our fiduciaries. In the instructions concerning
the Raggruppemento it is clearly stated that the organizatio
has also certain legal tasks (such as propaganda, collection
of duds, etc.,atc.) Its structure must be completely
illegal; and this must be so because the Party, not being
able to function freely, must equip itself in such a manner
as to resist reaction. Therefore the Raggrupeamento, even
when it servos as a means of contact between the members of
the Party and the TiJxecutive of the Section, must be control-
led and assisted by our fiduciaries.
In this field there must be collaboration between the
director of the Raggrupoamento and the fiduciary; the
fiduciary must bring into play the personal experience ac-
quired in the former, but now suspended, military formations

2) Our military organization (formations) upon the ad-
vent of Fascism and in order to facilitate the organizing of
the Raggruppamento was susPended. This however does not
mean that there must be abandoned all that Was nccomplisAnd
in that field. Our fiduciaries must take measures to keep
the directive part of the organization alive, that is the
Provincial Commandant, the Commandants of Zones, Sections,
etc.petc. If that organization has no immediate tasks, be-
cause of the present political situation, this does not mean
that its organization must be lost. In fact it must be
assisted in order thlt it may arise at any moment and may
possess an offensivo quality.
3) This point is one of the most delicate and difficult.
To create en information notwork is not the most simple
thing to do. But this must succeed; a revolutionary Party
cannot hope to attack without having precise knowledge of
the enemy's camp. It is necessary therefore that na in for-
mation network be created in every enemy military and
political camp, in the national militia, in the Army, Police,
Judiciary, Fascist Party, and the Liberal, Popular, Social-
democrat parties, and in the masonry. For this long and
patient work it is necessary to observe the most prudent and
secure methods; the individuals chosen must be of proven
belief and capability. The informers, especially those, in
the Political Parties should be of a certain degree of cul-
ture and knowledge of the political Policies of the Parties
into which they enter, - with oratorical ability; with
capability and energy to impose upon the local sections of
the Party those political points of view tending to favor our
own Party. All of the informers must, in the initial stages,
seek to gain confidence in order to seek to enter in every
field in the directive organs.
4) Endow the party with various technical means. Flank-
ing every illegal organization there must be technical moans
established to facilitate a taken action. Therefore, flank-
-ing the actual maintaining of the squads in the formations,
care must be taken that all arms are in a safe place and
under the control of a fiduciary. Maintenance must be such
that the material will not DO subject to deterioration.
Another important phase is that of the illegal press. In
this regard our office will soon issue precise instructions.
In the meantime however means must be sought to find q
solution to this problom??
The search for meeting places, for deposit of documents,
etc.,. etc., are technical means for which the fiduciary must
provide.,

fiduciaries ia ari tripokant task. The organizational forms
Which the Provincial fiduciary applies to the Capiluogbi must
be extended through tho Province. In this great care must
be eisercised because a provincial organization may be very
vulnerable. Attention must also be given to the liaison be-
tween bections and the Federation organs: preferably by
contacts independent of any public utilities (railroads,
trolley,post and telephone).
These, in a most general manner, are the tasks reserved
to the "illegal" fiduciaries. But in order that those ob-
jectives be undertaken there must exist between the
fiduciary and the Secretary of the Federation an intense
collaboration. In effect it is a question of work: one sole
person cannot execute duties which may be called "legal" and
"illegal". We say the Secretory of the Federation because
the contacts between him and the fiduciary must not become
known oven to the members of the Executive Committee of tha
Federation.
We believe we have well indicated the duties attributed
to you. What We have stated has a permanent character, but
in the execution of our activities, cases and problems may
present themselves which must be solved by mutual accord.
Write to ma concerning this and assure us of this latter.
Cordial greetings."

"TO ROSA TORINO
We reply with relation to what you have related to our travel-
er. We must, before everything else, reprove you for your
dilatoriness in the search for the two addresses requested of
you by our letter since tho 19 May and by subsequent letters.
You should have understood that our strong insistence (we sent
our travelers throe times) indicated an absolute need for these
addresses. We hope that in the future our contacts will
accelerate themselves and that they will be closer. It may be
that this has resulted from your many engagements. This must
be eliminated: our fiduciaries cannot have any other engage-
ments. If the conditions in your city do not permit that you
resign from the duties you now cover (it seems to us that you
are the federal secretary) you should find a comrade who is
able, serious and little known, who can substitute you. But
until you have found such a comrade it remains understood that
you must still continue to function as our fiduciary.
We have begun a search for that person who has represent-
ed himself to be the fiduciary of LORIS. We have been inform-
ed that a fiduciary of ours from FIRENZE had the name of
GIULIO ARRIGONI, but his nsme was PIAGGI RTICERO and not
BELMONTE. In any case it is a matter of dealing with a rascal.
Our office has never authorized the local fiduciaries to pre-
sent themselves to the various sections to ask assistance.
The party has its appropriate organs assigned to that work.
If it is possible for you, you should try to seek the person
and bring the matter out in the open. It is certain tht your
good faith has been attacked, - and in the future one must be
more cautious and less innocent. Our traveling fiduciaries
must be in possession of regular orders with rubber stamp
LORIS, presentable on demand. The recommendationsof the
deputies are not valid for our contacts. Write to us when your
search will have resulted in somuthiev, solid. We take note of
the statements made to our traveler concerning the raggruppa-
mentos It is necessary, however, to hurry Up the organization
of the raggruppamento in accordance with the rules which we
have issued. Such an organization is essential to the ulti-
mate work of the party and it must have precedence over every-
thing else."

"The situation which after the advent of Fascism seemed to
have improved and in that optimistic sense was reported to
Rome, has now gravely deteriorated. The CC (Central Commit-
tee) is aware of a circular iszued by our Provincial Commit-
tee (Comitato Provinciale) to all the sections of the
province in which there was given as the reply address that
of the rooming house of Comrade Straneo, but with an imagin-
ary name, Milanese Giuseppe. This w s done in order that the
Fascists' attention would not be drawn to the notoriety of
the name Straneo. To the said circular only three answers
came to the Comitato Provinciale (Provincial Committee). The
matter seemed a little excessive but was attributed to the
critical situation of the Comrades of our nrovince. On the
day of the 19th Straneo was unexpectedly arrested and re-
leased the del, after. dere is the account given by him
yesterday, the 21st, to Ceriana: I was conducted to the
Questura by the polio? to the presence of the Consul of this
Fascist Legion. He exhibited 10 or 12 letters (sequestered)
addressed to MIlanesi, inviting him, under thr threat of
death to reveal who Milanesi might be. Straneo was compelled
to confess completely the truth concerning which the
Fascisti claimed to have full knowledge, except as to the
identity of MilanAmi. He had to, therefore, name or confirm
the names of the members of the Comitato Provinciale
(Provincial Committee) of Allessendria and assured them that
the very head was no other than Milanesi. After his signa-
ture of the relative minutes and the usual admonition to no
longer concern himself with propaganda, he WRS released.
The other two members of the Provincial Committee (Ceriana
and Popu) have not until now been searched. As you can see
from all this, the result is that 1) The sections of the
province who had in relatively large numbers replied to the
circular, are at the mercy of the Fascists. 2) Some traitor
in the province communicated the arranged address to the
Fascio. 3) The Fascists know in detail all of the members
of our principal charges and aertainly must maintain sur-
veillance of every fct,Lvity. 4) Straneo assured the
Fascists that our Federation had for the time disbanded in

TO PIEROTTO CREMONA CIRCULAR N.5. 3February 1923 N.35
Dearest,
The Executive Committee of the Youth Federation has provided
that all of the provincial secretaries may correspondwithitby
cipher. In order to put this decision into effect, we
charge you with referring the following to the provincial
youth secfetaries: The secretary of the federation will buy
the following book which will be used for ciphering:
Biblioteca del PoPolo - Storia dellYimpero Romano dalla morte
di Giulio Cesare fino alla venuta do Odoacre" Casa EditriCe
Sonzogno N.29 -(People's Library, "Story of the Roman
Empire- From the Death of Julius Caeser until the Advent of
Odoacer", Sonzogno Publishing House.)
It must be used In the following manner: Choose one
page, as the c'180 may be, write the number thereof under-
neath the date of the letter which you are writing. This
will mean that for the entire letter I will make use of only
that one pae;e. To write words in ciphers pick the letters
which you require, jumping from one line to the other. You
will write the number of the lino counting from the top down,
and after the number of the letter counting the letters only
from left to right. This will make a number like a fraction,
for example:
3/5 8/1 2/3 10/8 1/9 5/12//13/6 7/11
You will use the same method writing to the provincial
secretary; to the C.E. or the Youth Federation C, who will
sign himself with the pseudonym of "FAPRIZEO". (Comment:
C.E. means COMITATO ESECUTIVO or Executive Committee; Youth
Federation C. probably means CENTRAL YOUTH FITDE,HATI N). We
feel that these instructions are sufficiently clear. How-
ever if such is not so We shall be happy to clrify it more
upon your request.
Cordial greetings.

After having given you our instructions and in view of the

through you and the soldier comrades,- since it is a work
susceptible of continuous development, - of correction,ef

this work, as we were saying, requires in extensive degrees
your constant vigilance,- your continuous energetic pressure
on those elements in the army wh, constitute the nerve fiber
network of our organization.
It Is necessary to begin the exploitation of the organi-

carry it forward with every caution, without guilty hastiness

One element indispensable to effectively conduct our battle
in order to win when the great rOPCG will have unchained
itself,- for the purpose of consolidating our conquest and
sustaining the Communist dictatorship, is an element which
unfortunately until now has been neglected. It is the re-
volutionary proselytizing amongst the soldie.as of the Navy.
What strength the Navy in general presents is well known
to all and in an especially well known way for Italy, a
country in great part bordered by the sea.
The navy possesses solid forces of discipline, of forma-
tions, -It is well armed and has in its ships really power-
ful and fearful mobile forces. It is a strong band which
on land is-equivalent to the infantry and the artillery,
and which can hold the ports and guard the coasts. It can
also rapidly relocate troops and artillery by sea placing
means of offense where they are necessary, even if on land
all contacts are laspedod or assiled. It can therefore choke
off the nation impeding contacts with the sea. It canteven

"TO ZAMPIERI GINO VERONA 1 February 1923 N,29
Dearest,
We received in due course your letter dated 9/12/9221 and
attached to it the diagram of the place in which arms would
be found, We have delayed writing in order to seek to ?
exploit the diagram but we have not succeeded. Are you still
in contact with the soldier who gave you the information?
In that case we charge you with asking him:
1. What stuff is there in the place indicated and how
much?
2. Would he be in a position, even at our expense, to
take himself to the place and give information there
to such person as we would indicate.
We beg you to answer speedily.
Here is another address of a comrade of the COMO section:
Soldier: Corti, Annibale, 80th Fanteria, Compagnie Stato
Maggiore, Verona.
"Dearest,
Cordial greetings."

that field is vast and full of difficulties, especially be-
cause of its very mobile nature and by virtue of the people
we work with, which requires the greatest possible security*
I will gather the data which you need and I will com-
municate to you those that I find, I warn you however that
I have no direct communication with anybody because there
has been a general disbandment. I am seeking to reconnect
them but there are difficulties created especially by two
factors: groups which have formed in the small centers,-
the other in the more or less small. There are only a fen
afraid ones left. I am not at all satisfied as to my work
here. Friends believed to be the best and indicated to me
as such and who had already in the past done illegal work
assigned to them, in the beginning promise the seas and the
mountains, -they do a little something* Then a fugitive,
called, sweetly begged to, touching upon his personal spirit,
etc, - after a great deal of time informs me that he no
longer intends to do that work of which until then he had
done none. This man by his inertia caused me to foil in
several things including inachine-guns and bombs. Itnother
person was the same, - at first promising, does something,
but is then taken by fright, - but at least he confessed it
and does rlDthing more. The search for substitutes is dif-
ficult. I must still get one and I want to go slowly. For-
tunately there a e only a few who are working. I hope to
be able to let things go along bettor in the future. Our
friends do not convince themselves of the great importance
which thAir aork can have if done with prudence, with calm,
with constancy and scrupulously? I donot really know what
means I must uaa; also becaus- what they have dam) to ma
constitutes a grave nafeasance (let alone the moral values)
and a purely disciplinary matter. In any case the contacts
have been made except fora few from Rome and in the province.
The letter for the reasons which I set forth in the begin-
ning of the letter. Concerning the transport of the monies
collected to the end of the month in the municipal collection
offices or deductible during its journey: I again took the
matter up but now I adopted that type with the Fiat motor,
and therefore, I believe, it has increased a groat deal the
difficulty of a purchase. Until now, as you will understand,
I have worked alone and lost a great deal of time. If you
believe that it is possible now and you want to buy it you
must let me help. I am making arrangements for the manufactuo
ure of powder and bombs, Sipe type. I am having the models
cast, and other friends the spezz)ni (Editor's comment: may
mean fuses. Has several meanings). I communicated this to
Lemmi in order that he might write it to you since I did
not have time. However we must make several other tests to
obtain a single type which is practical and economical and
technically perfect. I am studying whether it is possible

I confirm the transmittal of one hundred thousand lire
on 24-8. I proceed to a verification of the accounts de-
posited to our Party which do not correspond with the
COmINTEEN registrations in reality because of mixups of
translations effected by CHiRINI, - asserts thst the Party
has, with the transmittal one hundred thousand, already re-
ceived all of its balance to the end of August, but instead
thare is still due nearly another whole monthly amount.
Be certain that your attain a regularization. Inasmuch as I
shall enter the COMINT7EN organically from the firstthe first
of September I begyou to send me by balance for my salary for
the month of August.
I left GASHIRINI a fund of three hundred lire which you
will wont to reimburse me. The exoenses of my trip amount
to two thousand three hundred and ninety which will be re-
imbursed to you by the COMINTFhN. Inasmuch as I received
from the Party only two thousand there is due me a balance
of three hundred ninety lire. Send mo one thousand six
hundred and ninety lire which is the total due me. I have
learned that STROIAN will leave Rome definitely in September.
Hurry the memorandum of the deliberations of the Executive
on the Party organizational situation and the passover of
the management. The condition of the workers made a good
impression at Moscow. The resignation of BRUNO has been re-
fused. As to the resignation of IMZEO, the Presidium is
auspended until he is liberated. The Vecchi subsidy has
been reduced by the Profintern to three thousand monthly.

C. Document 33001 6 December 1923 M.P. 176c,
The Budget Commission accepted the conclusions of Pj., re-
ducing the monthly allowance to 82 thousand. My violent
protests were in main. Only the Party can still do some-
thing, writing fully directly to the Presidium, ZIMOVIEF.
It would be better to write in German. The monthly payment
for November was reduced to 64 thousand, since the Comintern
had paid tae Party on account 8800, - for the voyage of the
two envoys to America; three thousand for my trip to Italy;
ten thousand in settlement of the Berlin Committee. Total
21,800, which with 64 thousand constitutes the monthly amount
for November. I have decided to send immediately the
balance for November and the entire month of December.

and the following documents: "The correspondent of L'Hu
L'Humanita of London to the Editor of The Worker";
"Triest07 "Regulations for the functioning 6? tie

A letter dated 31 October 1923 addressed to ANSELMI
reads:
"Repeat briefly the contents of your enciphered
(word missing) attached to your first letter. We are in
possession of your address* Communicate to us whether
you have organized the direct liaison on your side. Do
not send anything anymore to the Torino address. Ar-

A long letter addressed to the "C.E. of the P.C.I.",
dated 15 November 1923, discusses the subjpet of a Party
press and newspaper then continues:
school has been arrived at by ANSELMI's com-
rades, less two, and they have arrived at head-
quarters* The expenses shall integrally be upon
the Party. The matter was brought to B. who has so
decided because this is done for all the other P's
and it is not desired to create precedents. The
expenses sustained here are only the trip of M.P.
and therefore not much. The greater expenses are
made by ANSELMI and it must be seen whether he can
be paid in installments. The comrades who have
arrived have raised some questions.. .There are now
here fifteen comrades for schooling. Two should

A0 "When someone has to go to Egypt he must contact the Nile
Hotel, Alexandria and ask if Husni Secretary of the
Party lives there." This excerpt is from a message dated
20 January 1923 in the ROMPICPI folder, entitled,
"Schedule of Piddresses of the C.E."
B. Probably identical with Husni al-RBI, born 1996, journal-
ist, British intelligence agent who was reportedly arrested
and expelled from Egypt many years ago (date not specified)
for Communist propaganda. He is then stated to have spent
many years in Russia and was not allowed to reenter Egypt
until 1943 (?). In 1945 he was living at 6 Sharia Bursa
al-Gadidah, and was apparently head of, or a leading
member of, al-Khubz al-Hurriyah, a Communist organization.
He has otherwise been described as a notorious British
provocateur agent who penetrates the ranks of the workers
and gets information which he transmits to his British
chiefs. Husni al-aR,BI holds a teaching certificate of
the German language from the University of Berlin. He is
stated to have worked for the British in Germany until
they requested that he return to Egypt. Upon his return
he directed his activities toward the German community.
One report states that he was in the pay of both the
Germans and the Soviets. Later he again worked among
Egyptians. He was allegedly made one of the chieC British
agents after he submitted a report on the Egyptian Minister
of Communications and on certain other functionaries of
the Egyptian Palace. (Comment: Those is no information
available on subject later than a 1)45 date.)

Address: "Exchange HOUSE, Rue Fermendijiler, Galata,
Istanbul. Inside envelope for COHEN." From "Schedule of
Addresses of the C.E." as found in the ROMPICAPI folder.
B. Probably identical with Messrs. Vitali and Albert

honorable man". Albert Vitali BENBISSkT, .1..talifs brother;
works for Ismail K'IP?rICI at the stock brokerage at 7 Vakif
Han. Reportedly filbert was deathly ill in the fall of

mation shows Communist activity on the part of either of
these men. Traces have been found on one Albert BENBfiSSIIT
who was known to have carried out illegal financial trans?
actions in Switzerland during World War II. It has not
been possible to obtain his ores,,nt location and to

BINGHI, Carlo
Trieste
? "Carlo BIA'TCHI - Trieste -BILGHEI, I1bino, Via Rossetti
20". This e,cerpt is from a deciphered list which in some
cases appears to provide keys to cryptonyms used.
Possibly BILAGHEI is tILICHI's real name.
The following is from an unsigned message date 3 July 1923:
"To BLAJOHI - Trieste - folder 333 URGINT...Several days
ago we sent you a comrade to pass over the frontier...we
could not send you any previous advice because there WO8
uncertainty as to your private address."
Another unsigned message, this time dated 6 July 1923 reads.
"To Carlo BIiNCH., Trieste. Folder 333. We need quick
and objective information on a certain DEP _NGliv,R,
Francesco di Pietro fom Muggia- whether he was a member
of the Party, his activities, why ho left his home.
This comrade now finds himself in Russia. Reply quickly
to all our questions, Cordial greetings."
A folder marked, "7ederations 0.P.q.R.'.T.U.V.Z." refers t
the "resignations of Carlo BI/CHI". No further details
appear.
A communication of 23 July 1923 to Carlo BI:1NCHI, Trieste
reads in part:
"We bog you to interest yourself personally in locating
a comrade printer, a secure sympathizer, technically abl
to direct a small prilting plant."
Another message in folder 333 to BI'.NCT-TI and dated 7
August 1923 states:
"We are interested that the Executive Committee make the
provisions for Antonio IURG, and l'aitonio
in undated fragment reads:
"Office addre)s confirmed: this is the new address:
Signorina Maria SOTTICH, Via Parisi 5, 3rd floor. Second
envelope for GL,ANI, pseudonym Carlo BI,NCHI. For the
passages everything is ready".
Here it appears that EI,MCHI may be the cryptonym for one
GIANNIC
B. Although the name Carlo BINCHI appears to have been used
as a pseudonym in these documents, there are traces of at
least two persons of this name who are listed among
political leaders of Italy at the present time. One is
Carlo Giuseppe BINCHI, a Socialist Party leader who was
bern in Mortara; the other, Carlo Umberto BIOCHI, is a
member of the Partitie Repubblicano Italiano. In 1946
the latter was a condidata in the Rome city elections.,

minent individual in Communist circles, especially in the
province of Santa Fe." He is stated to have contributed
regularly to the newspaper, Orientacion, organ of the CP
in Argentina during the years 1046-1947. A report of
September 1T)49 describes subject RS a clerk employed by a
notary public who has "always professed democratic ideas".
The report adds that neither tho Federal Police nor the

IStANO, fnu. Germany
A. Address: "Rosestrasse 40, 3rd floor, bei D7 InGESC,
Berlin-Tempelhof; and, Aid Committee, Unter den Linden 11,
Berlin (for MISIANO)." These addresses are in the
ROYPICAPI folder of C.E. addresses. According to n list of
pseudonyms dated 29 July 1923 and sent to "G.R.Co 13" from
"LEON IDA", TIISJANO's pseudonym is STELLA.
A message of 21 June 1923 to an undesignated person rends:
"MISIMO begs me to cipher the following for G2LLOSI
which you will decipher and communicate to him: 'MOST
Sr,CIIET. Dear GAROSI, we have reason to believe that
SCEFTEL would be able to have the sale of our film
negotiated, seeking to realtze on extra profit for him-
self. It is necessary to be vigilant to ascertain if he
actually is following such an objective, and to impede
him from reducing it to fact. It is necessary therefore
if these suspicions have basis in fact, that you with-
draw the film from him, regularize the matter at the
Customs and then deal with other persons directly, or
through other persons of confidence* We bog you to
determine if, for "POLI7USCA" there was offered so low
price as has been communicated to us (169,000, then
15,000, then 10,000 lire) whereas we know that such a
film could bo sold in Italy for no loss t]-an 49,000
lire, Send us news. STELLA!"
An unsigned message dated 26 October 1923 from Berlin reads:
"Comrade mICTIELNG7LI informs me that comrade 7oTa asks
him to tell misimo to try to establish with him and
TASCA an ordinary contact independent of the official
relations with the Party. The comrade carried away n
bad impression. What does this mean? Does it have to
do with a fractional representation? It was requested
that an information service be established for and from
Italy."
A cryptogram from Berlin dated 24 October 1923, apparently
--sOnt by MISI0 to Rome or to Milan contains the following
-message:
"Comrade MI0HEI,j10ELI has arrived r It seems that it.., Is

there If not, he should be made to re-enter Italy. If

or Italian Party."
B. Subject is pos,ibly idn tical with one Francesco MISLTIO,
born 26 June 1884 near Naples. He joined the Socialist
Party in 1907 and from 1'408 to 1914 served as secretary of
the Naples branch of that Party and also as secretary of
the Railroad Wor17)rs Union and as secretary of the local
Clerks' Union. Francesco MTSIZO reportedly refused to
take part in World War I and fled to Switzerland from
which country he was soon expelled for revolutionary ac-
tivities. He left for Murmansk allegedly on Party orders
where he Was to serve as the editor of a paper for Italian
soldiers, but enroute to Murmansk he stepped off in Berlin
and remained there for a time aiding German Communists. In
1919 Francesco MISLANO was elected Socialist deputy to the
twenty-sixth Legislative from Turin and Naples. In 1921
he was elected to the Executive Committee of RILU and to
the Central Committee of the Workers' International he-
lief. In 1924 subject became manager of the Workers'
International Relief activities in the USSR. In 1929 he
became Chairman or the Artists' Council of Meshrabhom Film
Society. Another source states the Francesco MISIANO as
a member of the Executive Committee of the Comintern who
migrated to the USSR and that he became more Russian than
Italian.

France
A. Address from the ROMPICAYI folder of C.E. addresses:
"M. and Mme. Rue de Regnrd 13, 2nd Floor (Latin quarter),
Paris."
Be Probably identical with Simon POSNER, born 7 November
1879 at '[oscow; Polish national; his address from 1927 to
an undetermined date was 14 rue du Regard, P-ris Ho en-
tered France in 1907 and worked as a journalist, lawyer
and a legal representative for the Russian Bank for
Commerce and Industry at 11 bis Rue Scribe. From 1921 to
1923 he V7S assistant director in the Bonk of Sweden and
of Paris, In April 1925 he became associated with the
Commercial Bank for North Europe at 26 Avenue de ltOpera
and reportedly was still connected with this organization
as of January 1935. He has been described as devoted to
the Soviet rogime and enjoys its confidence.
Simon POSNER was a former revolutionary socialist; after
the Bolshevik revolution he was appointed Secretary of the
Executive Committee of Russian Political Organizations at
Paris. The latter was also called the "Official Committee
of Russian and Soviet Repatriation of Paris". It facili-
tated the return to Russia of militant Bolsheviks.
PUSHER frequently traveled outside of France and obtained
numerous visas for several countries, During World War
II he was interned at Rolland Gores camp and was trans-
ferred to vrrnet camp on 11 October 1939. A report dated
26 October 1950 stated that subject disappe-red at the
time of the German occupation and that ho renortedly had
been deported by the Germans and was orobably dead,
Simon POSNER had a daughter, 'Jinn, born 22 August 1917.
On 1 August 1912 the U.3. Office of Censorship examined a
letter of 27 July 1942 from Vladimir POZN',R, 305 Woodmont
Avenue, Berkeley, California, to Fernando GA'BOA., Avenida
Xalap'l 127, Mexico, D.F. POZNER begged the addressee to
secure a Mexican visa for his uncle, Simon POSNER, who wa,
threatened with onternment in a concentration camp in
France, and the latterts daughter. Simon P9SJER was des-
cribed as a Polish national; the daughter, French. G1"BOA
was reminded tat 61mon POSJEh had served as director of
the bank created during the Spanish Civil War to make tran-
sactions for the Spanish Republic and afterward had headed
"Franco-Navigation" whose boats did "very useful work". A
report of 30 March 1951 from a usually reliable source in
Mexico states that Simon P)SIMI1 had been in Mexico, but
that he had left for the United States in 1944 or 1945 and
was reportedly working in Hollywood.

A. "Comrade SS0 who emigrated to France, had asked us

Party leaves him the liberty of decision. If he decides
to attend the military course at Moscow mentioned above,
advise us, and lot him depart at once with the others or
after them...Inform Fidia of the nature and obligations of
this course." This excerpt is from an unsigned message
to Paris dated 31 Octobr,r 1923.
"In a preceding enciphered letter we charg:,d you with
proposing to Fidia SSSNM that he go to Russia to attend
the course to which Bernolfo and the others were sent.

Mario VANNI in 1927. SSSANO di Eduardo is probably iden-

ed the presence of a person of this name in Sweden in
1945. It is not believed that this person is identical
with S:iS3ANO or SASSANI as he represented various Fascist
papers in Sweden; this person may be Ettore VAN.NI.
