War Responsibility of the Chinese Communist Party, the Ussr and Communism
WAR RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY, THE USSR AND COMMUNISM How the US became entangled in the Comintern’s master plan to communize Asia Ezaki Michio, Senior fellow, Nippon Kaigi (Japan Conference) Shock waves from Venona files continue to reverberate The Venona files have unmasked more than a few Soviet spies who infiltrated the US government during the World War II era. With the disclosure of the transcripts, what has for decades been a suspicion is on the point of becoming a certainty: the Roosevelt administration was collaborating with the Soviet Union and the CCP (Chinese Communist Party). A retrospective debate is in progress, and with it a reexamination of the historical view of that period; both have accelerated rapidly in recent years. The term “Venona files” is used to describe code messages exchanged between Soviet spies in the US and Soviet Intelligence Headquarters that were intercepted and decrypted by US Signals Intelligence Service personnel. The NSA (National Security Agency) released the transcripts to the public in 1995. As more of these messages were disclosed and analyzed, they revealed evidence likely to prove conclusively that at least 200 Soviet spies (or sympathizers) worked for the US government as civil servants. Their members included Alger Hiss ① (hereinafter I shall place numbers after the names of influential individuals, and use boldface font to indicate communists or communist sympathizers).1 Suspicions that there were Soviet spies in the Roosevelt administration date back more than 60 years. In 1948 Time magazine editor Whittaker Chambers, testifying before the House Committee on Un-American Activities, accused Alger Hiss ① of spying for the USSR. -

Finding Aid Prepared by David Kennaly Washington, D.C
THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS RARE BOOK AND SPECIAL COLLECTIONS DIVISION THE RADICAL PAMPHLET COLLECTION Finding aid prepared by David Kennaly Washington, D.C. - Library of Congress - 1995 LIBRARY OF CONGRESS RARE BOOK ANtI SPECIAL COLLECTIONS DIVISIONS RADICAL PAMPHLET COLLECTIONS The Radical Pamphlet Collection was acquired by the Library of Congress through purchase and exchange between 1977—81. Linear feet of shelf space occupied: 25 Number of items: Approx: 3465 Scope and Contents Note The Radical Pamphlet Collection spans the years 1870-1980 but is especially rich in the 1930-49 period. The collection includes pamphlets, newspapers, periodicals, broadsides, posters, cartoons, sheet music, and prints relating primarily to American communism, socialism, and anarchism. The largest part deals with the operations of the Communist Party, USA (CPUSA), its members, and various “front” organizations. Pamphlets chronicle the early development of the Party; the factional disputes of the 1920s between the Fosterites and the Lovestoneites; the Stalinization of the Party; the Popular Front; the united front against fascism; and the government investigation of the Communist Party in the post-World War Two period. Many of the pamphlets relate to the unsuccessful presidential campaigns of CP leaders Earl Browder and William Z. Foster. Earl Browder, party leader be—tween 1929—46, ran for President in 1936, 1940 and 1944; William Z. Foster, party leader between 1923—29, ran for President in 1928 and 1932. Pamphlets written by Browder and Foster in the l930s exemplify the Party’s desire to recruit the unemployed during the Great Depression by emphasizing social welfare programs and an isolationist foreign policy. -

The Secret World of American Communism'
H-Russia Carley on Klehr and Haynes and Firsov, 'The Secret World of American Communism' Review published on Friday, June 30, 1995 Harvey Klehr, John E. Haynes, Fridrikh I. Firsov, eds. The Secret World of American Communism. New Haven, Conn. and London: Yale University Press, 1995. xxxii + 348 pp. $25.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-300-06183-3. Reviewed by Michael J. Carley (Carleton University) Published on H-Russia (June, 1995) The American editors and their Russian collaborator set out in this book to describe the history of the Communist International's relationship with the Communist Party of the United States (CPUSA), based on a selection of documents drawn from the large holdings of the Comintern archives in Moscow. The editors contend that the CPUSA was subservient to the Comintern; received large subsidies from the Soviet government; and closely cooperated through its secret apparatus with Soviet government intelligence services. The editors also place their findings within the orthodox and revisionist historiography of the CPUSA. The former school (including Theodore Draper and editors Klehr and Haynes) believes "that the CPUSA was never an independent American political party but a creature given life and meaning by its umbilical ties to the Soviet Union" (p. 17). The revisionist school (including Maurice Isserman, Mark Naison, Ellen W. Schrecker), "holds that the American Communist movement was a normal, albeit radical, political participant in American democracy... with its roots in America's democratic, populist, and revolutionary past" (pp. 17-18). The editors' objective is to show that the revisionist school is wrong in all its main lines, and that American "communists' duplicity poisoned normal political relationships and contributed to the harshness of the anti)communist reaction of the late 1940s and 1950s" (p. -
Eastland Collection File Series 4: Legislative Files Subseries 11: Internal Security Subcommittee Library
JAMES O. EASTLAND COLLECTION FILE SERIES 4: LEGISLATIVE FILES SUBSERIES 11: INTERNAL SECURITY SUBCOMMITTEE LIBRARY The U.S. Senate eliminated the Internal Security Subcommittee in 1977. In 1977-78, Senator James O. Eastland began transferring his congressional papers to the University of Mississippi. Among the items shipped were publications from the subcommittee’s library. Due to storage space concerns and the wide availability of many titles, the volumes were not preserved in toto. However, this subseries provides a complete bibliographic listing of the publications received as well as descriptions of stamps, inscriptions, or enclosures. The archives did retain documents enclosed within the Internal Security Subcommittee’s library volumes and these appear in Box 1 of this subseries. The bibliographic citation that follows will indicate the appropriate folder number. Call numbers and links to catalog records are provided when copies of the books are in the stacks of the J.D. Williams Library or Special Collections. Researchers should note that these are not necessarily the same copies that were in the Internal Security Subcommittee library or even the same editions. If the publications were previously held by the Internal Security Subcommittee, the library catalog record will note James O. Eastland’s name in the collector field. 24th Congress of the CPSU Information Bulletin 7-8, 1971. Prague, Czechoslovakia: Peace and Socialism Publishers, [1971].

**A Note on Citations for the Information and Intrigue, America's
**A Note on Citations for the Information and Intrigue, America’s Information Wars and Related Works ** Because of number-of-pages limitations, we decided to limit the number and length of citations and endnotes in the texts and to employ as many space-saving formats as possible. If we used traditional approaches to citing and using notes, the texts would have been unbearably long. However, despite the citing parsimony we feel that readers will be more than adequately pointed to evidence and sources.
