@/ RE: JACQUES MARNARD Qt?DENDRESCHD, - WITH ALIASES, ET AL: ESPIONAGE R Bureau file 65~29162! '1 Dear 5ir:

Reference is made to Bureau letters dated January 4, 1941 - and March 8, 1941 and to a letter from the New York Office to the 1: Bureaudated February 20, 1941 in the aEive entitled case concerning ,3 the advisability of interviewing SYL¥IA 'GELOFF, one of the subjects in this case;

As indicated in the letter from the New York Office to the - 0 > Bureau SYLVIA AGEEBFF is, according to a confidential informant of I this office, disliked and distrusted by both the Communists and Trotsky ites, the Trotskyites blaming her for causing the death of TROTSKY and 92 the Communists hating her for being a Trotskyite. :2

..¢ .. Publicity in this case has subsided altogether in New York I'g.I L__ oity and it is believed that inasmuch as the information indicated'Q s that SYLVIA AGELOFF may be willing to give information and inasmuch | I as nothing has thus far been developed in this case, an interviel X '1 ".- . with MESS AGELOFF may prove of paramount value. ~? . J i ?

1 . _ In view of the foregoing facts, the New'York Office is 1 desirous of knowing whether the Bureau is agreeable to having SYLVIA AGELOFF interviewed in the near future. .

Sylvia Rgeloff, now going under the name of Sylvia Maslow, was interviewed on the evening of April l5, l9h2 in her apartment, She was greatly perturbed as to how her present address was ascertained and said that only the members of her immediate family knew where she resided. r 1 She said she wished her present residence to be kept a secret, inasmuch as she wanted to forget the'events of a few years ago and continue to sit. Q live in peace and quiet. ' ;. . .- She also stated that everything pertaining to her association with Frank Jacson and the murder of Leon Trotsky is contained in testimony t she gave in the District Court in Mexico City, and a perusal of these 1 records would reveal any and all facts desired.

92 She was most reluctant at first to discuss her association with Frank Jacson and Trotsky's murder, but after much preliminary discussion, she finally conversed freely, evaded no questions, and seemed to answer with complete candor and honesty. It should be observed that Sylvia Ageloff is extremely intelligent and well spoken.

She stated that she first became interested in the Trotsky Movement in college as an academic study, as she did not think democracy and capitalism were as ideal and beneficial as they should be, She said she has never advocated revolution or the forceful overthrow of the United States Government, or any other government, but felt that the so- called democratic capitalistic governments could be improved upon greatly. |,.gm_s§he said that she was just interested in Trotskyism as a suggestedalterna+1Pv for modification and improvement of the United States Government and governments of all countries, inasmuch as she could not.countenance Stalin- ism because of the poor example set by the present Communist Regime in Russia which country, she pointed out, appears to be much worse off than the United States. I She said she never joined the Socialiat_Workers Party, never became a duespaying member, nor did she ever hold any office. She declare» that she merely read literature published by the Socialist Workers Party and attended meetings and affairs sponsored by it for the public at large.

She explained that in fast she had never met Trotsky until January, l9iQ and could by no stretch cf the imagination he considered r>" I. a good and close friend of his. 14» .-.

She described Jacsonas a playboy type who seemedto g , . , 'plenty haveof money and neverworked. Accordingto SylviaAgeloff, if Jacson never evidenced an interest in Trotskyism or any other political ideology, and she did not attempt to initiate him into Trotskyism. . -- She said he read little and did not appear to care anything about the problems of the world. She insisted. . . she never went to Brussells, Belgium - with him or met any of his family. v_ She said that while he claimed to be Belgian, she could not // - vouch for this, although he spoke French like a native. In fact, she asserted, Jacson might well have been of any nationality, but she always believed him to be Belgian, as he claimed.

--_ Continuing, Sylvia Ageloff stated that she returned to New @, York City in February, 1939 andshortly thereafter Jacson turned up, -.-_ having used a fraudulent Yugoslavian passport, invvhich he claimed to **"*w$e a Yugoslavian, so that he could leave Belgium, in view of the fact =- that as a Belgian he would be liable to induction into the Belgian Army 'f3_ becauseof the approaching war. She said this explanation of his use ' of a fraudulent passport seemed logical to her. She said even before . Jacson turned up in New York City he had informed her he always wanted pr to go to the United States but that his family objected.

n- Sylvia Ageloff said that after remaining in New York City 7 for a few weeks Jacson went to Mexico City, where he said he had to handle Luback's business for him. Thereafter, she said, she and Jaoson .:92- corresponded with each other. e "__

Sylvia Ageloff stated that she next saw Jacson in Mexico City during January, February and March, l9L0, where she had gone to a recuperate frcmsinusitis. According to Sylvia Ageloff she saw much ._ of Jacson in Mexico City, where he was apparently busily engaged attending _ idyw¥i to business transactions for Luback. She said he would even quote prices of copra, sugar, oil, etc., explain the difficulties with Mexican labor, and point out the slowness of shipping, etc., thus convincing.her at least that he was bone fide.

In January, l9h0 she said, she met Trotsky through two friends, ALFRED and MARGUERITE OSEMERE,whom she had met in New York h City sometime around 1937. S;:Rhelieves them to be French, butdoes i not know where they are at the present time. She said Jacson did not meet Trotsky during her three-month stay in Mexico City, and she did not know Trotsky well enough to introduce Jacson to him. 1 ' According to Sylvia Ageloff, she returned to New York City about March 30, l9h0. She next saw Jecson in New York City for about two weeks in June, l9hO, when they lived together at the Pierrepont i i Hotel in Brooklyn. Jacson's explanation for this particular trip was that he had to attend to some financial details for Luback at the British Consul's Office in New York City. _ i

gge Jacson told her then that he had met Trotsky a short time - §_,,1-,t'..;,,- -»-ca. 4 'previous to his present visit, but did not say who introduced him. At this time he told her he would return in September, l9hO for another _ visit. She said that-early in August, l9h0 Jacson wrote her that he was desperately ill and urged her to come to Mexico City to see him. She demurred, since he had previously indicated he would visit New York City in September. However, he wrote to her that he might not be able to I make the trip in September and that he would like to see her in Mexico v. City. She said that inasmuch es her vacation was scheduled for August, E 19b0, she decided to go to Mexico City, and did so by airplane. e L. i I... * With regard to Trotsky's murder, Sylvia Ageloff stated that on August 20, l9L0, the day Trotsky was fatally assaulted by Jacson, he 92lsft,her early in the afternoon but said he would join her, together with OTTO SCHEUSSLER and his wife, for dinner that evening. Schcussler, ice she explained, was an Austrian and was employed as e translator and body- guard by Trotsky.

She said Jacson did not show up that evening as scheduled, and that when Scheussler had occasion to telephone Trotskys residence 4""on one oi his routine telephone calls he was informed of Jacson'smurderous $1 attack on Trotsky.

Each of these two assertions has its ad- vantage as a weapon with w ch to belabour the Soviet State, but together they have the great sadvantage t at they are radically opposed to one another. upset capital st economy by goods offered cheappresupposes an unprecedented developmentof pro- ductive forces. If the Five ear Plan has suffered a check and Soviet economy nds itself irreparably disintegrating, on what economic battleeld can it its ranks to open a " dumping " offensive against the most powerful capitalist States in the world ? 2. Which. then, of these two contradictory assertions is cor- rect? Both of them are false. The Five-year Plan has not suf- feted a check; this is demonstrated by the efforts to transform it into a Four-year Plan. But suppose, then, that we admit that this gigantic plan may realise itself in fact, should we not indeed admit the possibility in the near future of "dumping? To answer this question let some gures speak: the industrialisation of the U. S. S. R. shows a percentage increase unheard of in economic history-20 to 30 per cent per annum. But these percentages relate to increase over an economic level that the Soviets inherited from the hands of the former owning class. A level of appalling

What percentage do those timid of " dump- ing think would be suicient to upset the balance of world trade 50, not that perhaps, nor 25, even 10? Even for such a gure Soviet export would have to increase by seven or eight times its present volume, thereby instantly causing the ruin of its own economy. 3. The most recent form of attack called forth by the Five- year Plan appeared in the French newspaper the Temps," which may, without exaggeration, be described as one of the most re- actionary in the world; it seeks the same aim as, but much more systematically than, the British dimhaxds.

their economy to the end of a boycott of Soviet trade. The word is now no more of dumping but of a progress in normal eco- nomic development so rapid that it must be hindered by powerful measures from outside. One thing I would underline with deepest seriousness and most vigorous emphasis: the economic blockade cannot remain over an indenite period only by a blockade; in order to be effective it would require ever to strengthen and make more acute its methods. And this is nothing but the factual path to war. The blockade is a prelude to war. Its object is to erect a raincoat over war and thus imperceptibly to involve in war a series of States. Let us suppose, however, that the plan of the Temps 92 and many others were to succeed, the blockade to be organised, to lead to war-let us even suppose for purposes of argument what I do not for a moment admit as a possibility, that the Soviet system were to be over-thrown by this war, even by this means the new economic principle of State-planning that has proved its eicacy in the Soviet system would not be destroyed. The development of

5. The present Russian economy is a transition stage, and still conceals within itself wide contradictions which may Yet possibly lead to economic crises and thence determine temporary setbacks. To shut 0nes eyes to this would be unforgivable. Do not lose sight of the fact that all these contradictions, difliculties, possible crises, or eventual temporary setbacks in no degree minimise the epoch-making signicance of this gigantic experiment in economic planning which already has proved that an industry nationalised acquires the faculty, even in a backward country, of increasing at a tempo none of the old civilised nations could possibly attempt. This alone opens before mankind an entirely new perspective, transforming the entire lesson of the past and placing it on the threshhold of a new culture. 6. Not as being of any practical value, but as an illustration of what I mean, let me recommend for consideration the following suggestion: Mr. Lloyd George is promoting the plan of public un- dertakings worked out by Liberal economists with the double object * of unemployment and reorganising and rationalising the- conditions of industry in Great Britain. You know better than I the terric character of these two tasks. Let us suppose, however. only for a moment and for demonstration purposes, that the British Government were to sit at a round table with the Government of the U. S. S. R. in order to work out a plan of economic co-opera-

tion over a series of years. Let us suppose that this plan em- braced all the most important branches of the economy of the two countries and that-unlike so many other round-table conferences -it were to emergewith quiteconcrete and mutual l agreements and undertakings: for such and such a number of tractors, electro-technical units, textile machines, &c., England would receive an equivalent quantity of grain, timber, perhaps later raw cotton, all, naturally, according to the current prices of the world market. This plan would be devised to begin modestly but to develop in the character of an im@1§ecc_>p_e, yearin and year out broadening to draw an ever larger number of undertakings into its circle, ultimately contriving that the most important eco- nomic branches in bothcountries should doyetail into one another like the bones of a skull. Can one doubt for a moment that there- by, on the one hand, the coefficient of increase now contemplated by the Soviet Government would, with the help of British tech- i nique, be vastly increased; on the other, that Great Britain would satisfy the most important needs of her imports out of the Soviet Union under the most favourable conditions?

such a collaboration with the Dominions. I only take the economic principle of a centralised economic plan as it has been proved today in the experience of a poor and backward country, and, enlarging it in imagination to cover the mutual relations of the advanced nations with the Soviet Union and with one another, I see therein a gpacieue-outlook for mankind. ~ -The Manchester Guardian Weekly.

It has come to the attention or this office that the book Aisin Fut Assassins Trotsky" by cam-;RAL sANcne2*sALAzAR andJULIAN.-G-OFIKIN is presently available in aERENCH adilbn Editions Self, Paris, 1948!. General SALiggwas headof theMexican SecretService the at time or the attacks on LEO OTSKX in Mexico in 1940 and,yas in personal charge of theinvestigations. JULIANGOHKIN, yon ii; as recall, isan oldsocial- ist revolutionary and former leader. 2" of P.O.di.in Spain and Mexico. The book begins with the attack on mores! 5/23/40 and the subsequent investigation anigdenouoementof thoseinvolved, includingthe Arenal brothers and DAVID ALFARO T EIHOS who is described as the principal organizer and . director of the attack under direction of ghe G.P.U.

The investigation and discovery of the murder of ROBERT SHELDON HARTE, bodyguard of THOTStY and apparently a GPU agent, is also covered.

The subsequent and fatal attack on TROTSKY 8-90-40, the interroga- tion of FRANR*?tCSON andthe investigation relating thereto is then told. It is stated that JACSON inreality is the son of CARIDAD1MERCADER,a Catalan who was active in the Spanish Civil War and who, with her sons, was drawn into the ranks of the NKVD. One eon worked as an agent in France. __..,. The chapter "Agent of the Guepeon written by GORKIN is interesting as a description of the type of individuals used by the GPU, as well as the El. analysis of the letter denouncing IROTSKYas a destroyer of the working class and setting forth his reasons for assaasinsting TROTSKY! carried by JACSON _ L ,1 reflecting it was written by the GPU itself. '

This book is being called to the attention of the Bureau in the event the Bureau has not previously seen it.
