Ref: MS 181 Title: Cooper Collection

Scope: Documents, both published and unpublished, of an anti-semitic nature apparently compiled by an individual, thought to be F. T Cooper, a cartoonist associated with the Imperial Fascist League, and mainly of the 1930s.

Dates: 1917-1954 (mainly 1930s) Level: Fonds Extent: 6 boxes Name of creator: F.T. Cooper

Administrative / biographical history:

This is a miscellaneous collection of ephemeral materials expressing a strongly anti- semitic viewpoint which appears to have belonged to an individual. It was purchased in February 1993 from a bookseller who had received it in a wooden trunk bearing the name 'Cooper'. Some of the items are inscribed 'F.T. Cooper', and the title 'Cooper Collection' therefore seems appropriate. F.T. Cooper was a cartoonist associated with the Imperial Fascist League, who issued a number of the pamphlets in the collection.

The collection consists of both manuscript and printed material, some of the latter being rare, such as the English language version of World Service issued by the Nazis in the 1930s. It is divided into the following categories: Printed pamphlets Leaflets and ephemera Manuscripts and typescripts Newspapers and newsletters

Certain other material has been subsequently added to this collection where considered appropriate (e.g. microfilm versions of serials in the Newspapers and newsletters section).

COOPER COLLECTION

MS 181/3 Manuscripts and Typescripts

There appears to be no overall reason to these materials; merely those that were put aside at some time. Most consist of articles or translations for articles that may or may not have appeared in the 1930s. The presence of a number of duplicated items suggests a network and distribution and contact among Fascists over and above the published pamphlets and newspapers.

1. (HEEKELINGEN, H. De VRIES ?) "Juifs et Catholigues. Jews and Catholics" Octavo notepad containing, presumably, a translation into English of an article. 43 pp. in pencil, containing a series of translations and notes. Probably circa 1935.

2. Diplomatic and Commercial Representatives of U.R.S.S. 1927. 4 pp. Handwritten list of Soviet diplomatic representatives "representing 150 million GOYIM". Showing that most of the Soviet diplomatic corps were Jewish. The use of the initials URSS suggests that this is translated from a French anti-semitic publication.

3. Report of Captain H.S. Spencer, Royal Irish Fusiliers, late Political Officer, British Adriatic Mission, in regard to certain experiences in Rome in May 1917 Typescript, 3 foolscap pages. Details of intelligence intrigue in Venice, leading into account of German-British Jewish plot to stage the war to take control of industry under the guise of a League of Nations. This includes sending Lenin back to Russia. A covering note on War Office notepaper states that Spencer was "ordered to Salonica where I was put under guard as a "mental case" by orders from Rome". Signed by Spencer and dated August 1917. This document may be spurious.

4. "The Muller Von Hausen Trial, the Protocols, Rathenau and the frieze of cut off Kings Heads" Translation into English of an article from "La Revue des Societes Secretes", 14 October 1923. 10 pp. In ink and pencil.

9. World Service A very important and very scarce run of the English Language Nazi newsletter. The origins of World Service seem obscure and it seems that anti-semitic pamphlets may have originated from this source and this name prior to the launching of the newsletter. The first issue of World Service is dated 1st December 1933. The outlook of the newsletter, quoted in full at the top of each issue is the best guide to its aims and objectives:

"These leaflets are intended to be passed on from hand to hand amongst Aryans. The "World Service", which is issued in three languages, is not published with a view to profits. Its principal aim is to enlighten ill-informed Aryans, irrespective of the state or country to which they may belong. These information sheets, which deal with the machinations of the Jewish under-world, form accordingly a necessary part of the intellectual armoury of every Aryan. The communication of the matters dealt with to the well-intentioned press is considered highly desirable. Those holding similar views to our throughout the world, who recognize the fact that systematic work, and search after the truth, cannot be carried on without pecuniary outlay, will of a surety decide to send us some such small contribution as their means

may permit. This will enable us to carry out a considerable and effective extension of our work. Every contributor may rest assured that every farthing, and every cent subscribed will be put to the most conscientious uses only."

World Service appears to have been published by U-Boden Verlag in Erfurt and edited by Colonel Ulrich Fleischauer. Each issue comprises usually of 3 duplicated pages, printed on one side only, but some are up to 12 sheets in length. They give extracts from various sources of an anti-semitic and anti-zionist nature and were clearly intended to provide the basis for Nazi anti-semitic ideas among fellow-travellers in groups on the far right throughout Europe and America. This newsletter is of the utmost rarity. It merits a passing reference to its editor by Gloria Lebzelter in her "Political Anti-Semitism in England 1918-1939" but no other reference work on this period that we have seen gives it any mention. It is important for the links between British and other extreme right groups elsewhere. World Service appears to have initially been issued in 3 languages but at the time of its obvious demise, with the outbreak of war in. August-September 1939, it was proclaiming its message in some 8 different languages. (In fact, BUCOP lists a part-set, including some war years, at LWL, while Cohn, N. Warrant for genocide (1981) claims that it continued into the war years and in 18 languages: “But by then Fleischauer had been ousted and his organisation merged into the Institute of the NSDAP for Research into the Jewish Question, at Frankfurt”. See also Bondy, L.W. Racketeers of hatred (1946).) This run of World Service comprises some 117 issues (of 123 issues?) covering the period December 1933 to the (final?) issue of 15th July 1939. This run would appear to lack Volume I/5, Volume IV/13, Volume V/13, and Volume VI/10, 11 and 12. However, a number of the issues are double-issues, while Volume V/17 and 18 - a double issue - is represented by the German-language edition only. All issues are stapled and in good condition. In addition there are 2 extra issues which do not seem to be part of the main sequence but may be related to 2 of the missing numbers. They are "The Truth on Spain" January 15th 1937. 4 pp. "The Truth on Spain III" February 1937. 5 pp.

ITALIAN FASCIST NEWSLETTERS - "VERITAS" AND "ROMANA"

These fascist journals from the 1920s and 1930s are unusual in that they contain articles in different languages within an issue and were clearly designed for European circulation. The publishing history is impossible to establish from internal evidence but it appears that, as with World Service in Germany, they were to the right of the official Fascist parties in government but represent a more traditional form of European anti- semitic Fascism. No trace of any holdings has been found in Great Britain.
