FOR: Colonel Goodfellow
FROM: Colonel Donovan
IC/lowing our talk over the vphone about our
listening station, am disturbed at all this talk
about Grumback. It has probably defeated the plan of
turning that mattirial over to us as a central agency.
As I told you, I expect you to e/iminate him alltogethor
from anything affecting our officelyother he does it
through a.2 or any other way. You evidently do not know
it, but I hear on all sides that he is talking too much.
wish you would aend me m full report on just
what you are doing in relation to the stations and who
is doing it. Someone mentioned todm the name of Candelia
who is said to be engaged in cryptanalysis work. As
told you, we have got to have this thing handled for the
whole outsit and not for any branch.

be bedlam if everybody started toudie for denr

Acting on Baxterin advice
decided to say nothing to Oanaga about nroyn
University or Williams but thought I would
take him to lunch and talk OSS to him. I
called him on the 'phone lnnt week, Ho wns
very cordial Md begged me to give him n rnin
cheek fo--. 61 month hence after he hnli fininhnd
this job, He said he wan neeing no one, enting

a plan thmt involved the trnining of 200,000
studentn, He said it was thm Nnvyin denire
to interfei.^ as little an possible with the
normal routine of the colleges, He Mid he
understood the collegemen npproved the Navyln
attitude (Belter oonfirInn) and he hoped the
Navy would still retnin thin goodwill when the

I would appreciate It very much indeed if you would give
me a few minutes out of your busy day to outline certain facto in
a matter in which I am deeply interested.
It is in connection with Georgetown University, my Alm
Mater, an you know. According to the recent announcement by the
Army and Navy on a comprehensive college program for otudente,
several hundred colleges will be selected to carry on the program
of officer training. We are very anxious to have Georgetown elected
as a base for one of the Navy training unite and believe it in being
considered favorably by the authoritien. The quentionnaira required
of all institutions has been completed and returned to the proper
office.
We have indicated our ability to handle an additional five
to six hundred students in meeting the Navy requirements. Already
there are at Georgetown several hundred in the Navy'n various pro.
grams. Georgetown also maintains an R.O.T.O. unit consisting of
over five hundred boys. All in all there are about twelve hundred
students enrolled at the College, excluding the Law and Medical
Departments.
Knowing your influence in high placen, T. would like to
solicit your interest in behalf of Georgetown. / am on the Board of
Governors of the University and have three boys at the College; two
of them in the Navy Y-1, and one at Georgetown Prep School - so you
see my close connection.
The Priests at College have met every demand, and are
highly regarded both by the Army and Navy departments for their
efficient and thorough educational and physical program. Within
the past month Admiral Leahy visited the College and was awarded
the degree of Master of Military Science. Admiral Young of the
Wavy Supply and Paymaster Office, a 1915 graduate, was a recent
visitor.

SUBJBOTt Gifts
l. After disousaion of the subjeot with Colonel Hole?, he
advised that he considered the moot appropriate gift to hi @ bona,
General T. L., would be An autographed photograph. He said he
WM attempting to prooure one from Admiral Purnell. I did not
wish to bs presumptioue and discuss the matter further because
I realised that you may have no photographs available or may not
wish to make diatribution thereof for this purpose. Aa an
alternative I would suggest
A. An noollent small oaliber sidearm. or
11, Wrist watoh, or
0. Barometersolook oombination.
2. No other gifts are required wording to Colonel Heise?,
however; 1 ohedmdwith Mrs. Otigge who thought ait shnuld be
brought to the Oeneralislimo and Mations Chiang.
3# Perhaps it would be advisable to take a few handsome
wrist watehes just in 0414 someone important has been overlooked by
Col. 111140 who hi...mit been in China for nine years. As you already
know, the Chinese take the matter of gifts rather seriously.
Colonel H110.0 suggested that a letter to General T. L.,
earriedby,,either myself or the Colonel thanking General T. 14, for
the gifts riceived by you, would be advisable. It Ws also sug.
eiteCthat'the MAO letter may oontain any helpful commonts we
?Ovid mikkeabCut Colonel Hsiao as this is his only opportunity
for a mUiterly record.

Dear Su
There seems to be so way of sayiag it except directly. r feel I
mast resign. I do think, though, that you're **titled to my full
reasoning for gush a bald statement, bat I mast ask that you bear with
mos ea a few intimate and ragged details which I hoops will give' you a
better understanding of ay position.
Cooing back a little, *ad forgive me for being so entirely personal
and what may appear to be ummeeessarily detailed, but this in it. My
primary reason for working milli!: job in those times is that it is my
siacere desire as well as my dig ted. my part in the war effort, thus
emsurimg a bettor life for as, for ay family, and for all peace loving
people. I aotually see sky was contribution as direct as that, as widely
felt as that. As a matter of fact, this is ay understanding of every
individual's part in the war. My primary reason for working for OSS is
that I consider it to be some of the war agenoie? in whioh I can make a
definite contribution, where my experience can be best utilised. I am
oenfident that you, David. and Barmy, are completely satisfied with
this contribution end that you have had no occasion te question WI
loyalty or suitability for:the job.
Daring the time I was being considered for work on the San Fraa-
ass, Conferenoe, I started a complete phyOsal clookup with Dr. Parker,
the results of which she has told as within the last few days. She has
recommended a series of treatments which ordiaari4 would involve ay
devoting quite a bit of time in her care, but which I had asked her to
postpone so that I might oemplete the job of the San Francisco Conference
since I considered it te be so important, and felt my contribution to
be so valuable that I was willing to forego any personal discomfort
which might result from postponement. However, since the question of
my suitability now preoludes my partisipatien ia the Conference, I see
no magnet/1y I should not fellow the Doctor's advice.
Retarding the allegations which have been stated as to ay loyalty,
no matter Itat they are, as matter who has made then, the thought of
being put =ugh the iadigaity of Trinveltigetion strikes me as se
unfair, se unjustified, and is so revolting as well as exotic:tinily ups,
setting, that, frankly, I gimp)), linnet physically equipped for it.
And here again I must talk hark- intimately. During the tins I lived
on the West Coast and was married to ay first husband, I experienced
this very sort of thing, indirectly through him. In a union juriedio.
Ulna dispute between the Ian International and the Hollywood locals,
he was the spokesman, the leader, and consequently the target for the
oppositions (the Intonational) velem and machinations, and in one
particular matinee was held on charges of "suspicion to conspire to
violate the (minimal syadioalima act". Needless to say, the charges
were Wounded, that within three hours he was released, that the Mayor

Attached is a oopy of a promotion recommendation
for Captain Gevers. It will roach the OBS Board either
on Monday, April 2* or Thursday, April 5# 1945.
Geyer., son-in-law of Jame Dunn, is the offioer
SI took over on your recomandation some months ago, and
of whom I spoke to you, via telephone oonversation,
yesterday. Rsoonnendation for his promotion to the grade
of Major is based entirely on merit and his value to OM

a little extra consideration could be given this case,
however, / an certain *bat subsequent favorable action
would be of benefit to this organisation.

INTeLLIGINNOt
NAVAL SUM
ADMINALTY,O.W. 1.
llth October, 1914,
I enclose a further set of "U.O. Reports"
which may interest you, and also a draft paper regarding a
proposal to initiate a propaganda campaign to undermine
the morale of the German Navy.
We feel that the present moment ie an opportune
one for etarting such a campaign no the German Navy hue not
been doing tooWell this summer, and the Battle of the Atlantic,
so far from being the howling success that Hitler predicted,
has in fact developed in an unexpectedly favourable way to
ourselveea
You will, of course, have been receiving full newe
about the Russian campaign, and I think there is very little
I can add, except perhaps to tell you what you already know -
that the Russians themselves are inclined to be over optimistic.
This may be due to their peculiar temperament or to actual
ignorance as to what is going on on the military front, and
certainly their technique lendo itself readily to peoretiveneee
and suppression of bad news.
It was very nice to see David Bruce the other day.
Both ho and Allen are splendid representatives, and I am euro
are doing a good job.
Winant and Mrs. Carnegie dined with me last night,
and he spoke in glowing terms of the way your work in
developing, We shall be most interested to know if you have
been able to implement any of the "Buffalo" telegram suggestions.
I have just been told that I shall probably stay
on here until. 1943, and may be later; an announcement which
one receives with rather mixed feelings as it seems to
preclude the possibility of going to sea during the war.
rather fancy you must feel the same about your job.
Stewart Menzies and Fleming gend their salaam
With very best wishes for your ameeno and health.
Yours ever,
Eja. was very glad to meet y brother, and (Illy wished
I could have seen, more of him
Would you be So kind as to send tha enoloned letter on
its way?

4th December, 1944.
:fair fl%U,
I am returning herewith the pepers you kindly gave
me at dinner lost night. I read thee e with much intereet
and feel there is a good possibility of the plan aohieving
somsthing.
The only auggestion I have to make to that, if an
operation such am is met out In thio paper ie oarried out,
it would seem desirable to have good reaeons for the proposed
mildnese whioh would make sense to thrarr*ivrine. An T
understand the situation to-day, the Germans, both ofrioiol
and others, are extremely cynical and will probably not beilev
in umotivated benevolence and mildness. However, thoy might
easily believe in planning with some ulterior motive. There-
fore, if oredenoe is to be obtained for all those mild terms,
they might be phrased in terms of Allied self interest. Here
is a vary 'black' "reason", whioh I hope you will not quote an
coming from me, which might gain credence with the Germane, to
the effect that Wall Street and Oliveden Set each supported by
prominent politioians are terrified of Bolehevism, anA would,
therefore, do everything possible to build up a etrong Uormany
Lmmediately after the war. In the meantime they will have
to stick to unoonditional aurrender in order to maintain Rueolon
oo-operation and avoid Anglo-Saxon caeualties but, once 011 tQp
Nazis have been removed, they will do everything to mkt) auro
Germany will remain a bulwark againnt Bolshevism and will rebuild
a strong and prosperous Fourth Reioh.

Archibald MacLeish is a poet - aged 49, from Illinois -
has written lyrics, novels and plays, but most important: contri-
buted the poetic passages in Aoosevelt's speeches. In recognition
of these services Roosevelt made him Director of the Congress Library
and has recently invested him with another office.
Mr. William Donovan, alias 'Wild Bill", from Buffalo, 58-
?
year-old "soldier and lawyer", as he calls himself in the American
"Who's Who", has for a long time been enjoying the special favour
of President Roosevelt. The latter had sent him as an "observer to
Europe, to invpigate plots in the Balkans against Germany, and to
London as his "Specail Representative" to round up popularity. Just
recently he has made him Co-Ordinator of Information, that is,
Chief Reporter of his (Roosevelt's) information.
The two gentlemen met in New York on this day in November,
1941, to discuss various problems in their spheres of work which ofte
overlapped, and then they came to talk about the general situation.
"It's more screwy than evert", Bill Donovan and Archie
McLeish mutually ggreed over and over again in their digcussion:
Everything's topsy-turvy now in America. Take the weather% In the
middle of October (1941) the weather reports were crazier than they
had ever been in the memory of man. In some places therewere heat

dimes of 400,000 very poor men'', writes Chicago "Time") and considers
the re-armament of America a good opportunity to show his power and
use it as a threat. President Roosevelt thought to .render this
awkward man harmless by giving him a position in the Office for the
fighting of unemployment. But this only worked for a time. There

what great value the President attaches to haTing people belie,*
that between him and the workers - and their leaders - there is
no discord.
On their journey to Washington these twt.) gentlemen came to
talk about another "craziness" of the times: the financial struc-
ture of the USA. Have you a good memory for Dicker:Os ,Copperfieldf?",
hsked Poet Mac Leish. Wild Bill shook his head,
"Well, then I will tell you what often comes to my mind
these days. Mr. Micawber gives young David Copperfield some ad-
vice: 20 Pounds per annum income, 19 Pounds expenses - result:
good. 20 Pounds per annum income and 19 Pounds expenses -
result: very bad. The flowers fade, the leaves fall, the God of
Chance abandons the gloomy scene, in short: you are broket" That's
what Dickens said. Now if I apply the same to our national budget,
it's like this: monthly income: 700 million dollars, monthly expenses:
700 million dollars and an extra milliard. Result: can be imaginedt"
MacLeish is right. And Bill Donovath rankly admits it. The
development of the American budget has become fantastic. Since 19330
when Franklin Delano Roosevelt moved into the White House, the
national de:)t has doubled, increasing from 26.5 to 52.7 Milliard
dollars. 65 milliards were fixed as the highest limit by Congress
after they had seen what the President was spending on re-armament and
assistance for Great Britain. But already now, in October 1941, it
has become apparent that this limit will soon be exceeded. The
Minister of Finance has just raised the biggest internal loan which
has ever existed in the USA (apart from war loans): One and a half
milliards, payable in 25 to 31 years. lty Godt"(said Poet XacLeish),

Br it &it 5 milliards, 935 millions. "F.D4R. (short for Rooms-
velt) can really say that he takes down the star from Heaven for
us. In former days, the figures that we are now given as work-
ing capital for the war to preserve Anglo-American Democracy
were only knowa.to Astronomyt" shouts John Lewis at a meeting
in Detroit, and he calculates that in the course of 1941 no less
than 84 milliard Dollars were requisitioned for waf purposes: six
times as much as the whole national budget of 1935. And the USA
It's just as if Roosevelt wants to make fun of people like
John Lewis: the same newspaper that prints John Lewis's speech
gives an official announcement from Washington, that in the first
days of January, 1942, the President would propose a further credi
of 37 milliard Dollarst
MAJAaLtAlettz
Men like MacLeish and Bill Donovan really have no reason
to criticise the financial conduct of the President; they get
their rake-off from the milliards. In Washington everythihg
starts with the creation of a new "office", a new department, a
new centralizing station, and so MacLeish and Donovan have become
Chiefs of such new offices, which are generously equipped on a
budget of several million dollars. Bill Donovan is Director of
the OCI: and Archibald MacLeilfh is Director of the OFF, both are
immediate collaborators of the, President,
All Departments now save abbreviations in America; it has
even been said that there is an "abbreviation craze". OCI means:
Office of Co-Ordinator of Information. As such, Bill Donovan has

BUOJRCT; Secret Intelligence Survey Trip to Latin America,
DAM October 7, 1944
Dear General Donovan:
When you discussed with ms on Soptelber 21, the plan for a
"Secret Intelligence Survey Trip to Latin America", you informed,
me about the arrangement whioh you had made with Mr. Stevenson
and instructed me to work out the details with his offlos.
Mr. Stevenson did not call me himself, but Mt. Pepper
called at my office on September 2, and informed me that, sub-
mequent to Mr. Stevenson's talk with you, doubts had arisen with
themes to the workability of the plan of mending me down under
the cover of the British 8,1. After disoussing the plan and the
British doubts in detail, Mr. Pepper told me that he would in-
form Mr. Stevenson and that Mr. Stevenson would discuss matters
further with you.
In view of the ties whioh had passed and the fact that,
AS I letrned in Washington yesterdab Mr. Stevenson had not ap-
proached you further in this matter, 1 asked Mr. Pepper today to
advise se of their definite attitude. Mr. Pepper went back and,
after having talked to Mr. Stevenson 46414, he 401,0 10 )41.
Stevenson's message that I should inform you as follows:
?
Mr. Stevenson feels that the plan is "inadvisable from
both the American and British viewpoints". The British are not
permitted to "recruit agents in this country". If they were to
do so, particularly with regard to a geographical area, ,in which,
according to the wieh of our Government, they are obliged to
work molely with the Y.Bei., they woUld incur the danger of run.
ning headlong into trouble with the F.B.I. Mr. Stevenson to
"prepared to do anything for you that you may ask, but be 'suggests
that you rewexamine your position in this matter".
In view of Mt. Stevenson's attitude, t Ness that, if
the plan is to be oarried out, another way will have boa, found.
In our conversation, you suggested that the ouly altornative
would. be to roach an agreement with MO.,Stettinlue which, leaving
aside the jurisdictional question for the time being, would enable
mo to make the survey trip for the State Vepartment, but under
your direction. If Mr, Stettinius agrees that I go down to the
LA Plata Triangle Under the cover oftiefaiorloia

whioh would involve the Xmbaeales and the State Department, and
if Mr. Stevenoon. in accordance with his repeated assurances,
agreos to give mo the assietanoe of his agent@ down there, neither
would the jurisdiotion of the 1.3.1. be impaired nor embarrassment
milled for our British friends. I have no doubt that the British
will agree to this plan knd I believe that there is nobody who,
in view of tho undeniable urgency of the situation in Latin Menial,
particularly in the La Plata Triangle, will find it easy to main-
tain hootility against such a plan.
I as, of course, ready to come to Waehington at any time
to disoues this or an/ other plan whioh you might have,

funds, in whatever form, from Europe to Argentina
and from there to other countries of the La Plata
triangle; use of these funds now, intenda use later"
(see Part IV, point 2(a) of the Plan).
The enclosed memorandum describes how
other departments recently tried to go about such a
project and how, by lack of intelligent preparation
and organisation, they not oar dismally failed in
their attempt, but also caused widespread. publicity
which is likely to have given the plan away to the
enemy.
Dr. Wean, whose assistance was S011oit.

the procedure of the mission with assistance to be given
by the European Section of the ELI. and, as far as

ESCAPE OF GERMAN ime
Various Government departments have been interested in check-
ing the escape of funds from Germany to neutral countries. Mr. Sam
Klaus, of the General Counsel's office of the Treasury who has been
on loan to F.E.A. for purposes of general monetary research, was
chosen by the latter agency to make a survey trip of European capitals
for the purpose of organizing the collection of information on thie
subject. Klaus molicit'd and was promised the help of S.I. before
he left.
It was then decided to create a mission for the samopurpose,
consisting of Klaus, John Richards of Treasury's Foreign Acids Con-
trol and Herbert Cummings, formerly attached to our Embassy in
Ankara representing the State Department. F.Z.A. thaa decided to
Increase its representation and added Dudley Easby of its General
Counsel's office to the mission. Treasury, apparently wishing to
have as much representation as 'MLA., named to the Mission Wt.
Kennedy, an expert on counterfeiting who had. been stationed in
Mexico.
The mission (except for &may who lid not get beyoad New
York) during August and September travelled to London, Stockholm and
Lisbon. Not much seems to have been accomplished, though details
will not be known until the mission returns. Work was greatly
hampered by the fact that the members of the mission engaged in
lengthy jurisdictional disputes among themselves. No chairman of
the mission had been named, and since they could not settle their
quarrels he mombers of the mission were ordered by the State De-
partment to return to this country.
While the mission was in ftropio the Philadelphia 'ogling%
published a detailed story (except for names) about the mission's
purpose and its itinerary. This story was subsequently printed. in
La Prenma of Buenos Aires and also appeared in various Turkish
newspapers. A cable from the American 14basay in Ankara, report.
ing on the Turkish publication is attached.
There has thus been a double failure in the first serious
attempt to carry out a very important operation. At least six
weeks have been virtually wasted since Elkus left for ftropin ob-
viously no information of major importance has been secured, and
no affective moans of getting information has been established.
Also, the enemy has been tipped off in considerable detail as to

what this Government was trying to do and, whit is equally important,
of its inability to do anything effective up to now. As a result,
the Nazis know that the funds they have already shifted have so far
gone undetected and that they can continue to use the same channels,
at least for some time to come, with considerable hope of effecting
further successful transfers.
It appears that in the last instance the Office of Foreign
Activities Correlations in the State Department, which is headed by
Mr. Adolf A. Berle, Jr., is responsible for the failure of the
mission. Mt. Hanley of that office handled the organization and
made the arrangements for the mission.
Now, Francis Russell, Chief of the Division of World Trade
Intelligence (under Dean Acheson as Assistant Secretary of State)
and our contact man in the State Department, has been entrusted. with
the organization of means of getting the information desired, in co-
operation with two other interested divisions of the Department.
After discussion with the members of the mission, Mr. Russell will
decide whether to send someone else to Europe or to work entirely
through the Embassies att. Legations. Mt. Russell, of course 'would
be glad to have any absistance which S.I. could give him. As far
as Latin America is concerned, our close contacts with Mt. Bissell
assure a synchronization of his inquiries through the EMbasay in
Buenos Aires and the investigation which I plan to undertake in
the La Plata triangle.

eeoret intelligence, including economic and political intelligence,
and not only counter-eopionage on mach the F.B.I. concentrated.
It is practically certain that the gravity of events will compel
odIr Government to review the whole question of our intelligence
from Latin America. If this is not already being done inside the
State Department, further deterioration of the situation will
probably force it very soon.
It is my considered opinion that a workable secret
intelligence service in Latin America can only be built up within
your organization. I am saying this without feeling prejudiced
by the fact that my office appears at present to be the only one
in the United States Government which combines three essential
conditions for the establishment of such an organization: experi-
ence in secret intelligence, both political and economic coverage,
and knowledge of Latin American affairs. I can truly say this,
because personally I have neither political, diplomatic nor
administrative ambitions. I have broken off sgrbfasinees career
solely to help the war effort, and there appears nothing which
would suggest to me that I should not take it up again when oly
present task is fulfillvd. Evente placed me in a position where
I could organize for our Government an office with potentialities
which have by no means yet been sufficiently tapped. In spite of
the unavoidable frustration of these past few years, I have
found it difficult to retreat from an unfinished job, without
seeing others taking it up and without being aura that, against
the law of reason, your organization would be definitely prevented
from extending its jurisdiction to Latin America.
I should, however, tail in my duty if I did, not draw
your attention to the fact that my office has reached the peak of
its efficiency within the limits of its present work. There are
signs that it might not be able long to hold this peak if not
entrusted with more active work. Several times in the past few
months I have pointed out to the Chief S.I. and, if I remember
correctly, occasionally to you, that the BritiOh &I., in
changing its activities in Latin Amerioa from a war to a peace-
time basis, will be increasingly unable to Share with us their
information concerning a continent in which the British are
fundamentally our economic and to some extent also.ourpitical
competitors. The British have remained most genorpus in their
cooperation with my office. .Still, the current information
received from them does not comme with that received from them
in 1942 and 1943? Although the work ot to,. office has never been
solely based on British inteiligence, such intelligence has been
the primary factor in its mrk and a decreasing supply of intelli-
gence reports can not but reduce the uee#1404S of ,Office to

those departmente and agencies in Washington which ue have been
serving. Concomitant with the decrease in our information, there
has developed an increase in requests for information based
primarily on the service which we have been able to give hereto-
fore. It has become increasingly difficult for me to explain tLe
discrepancy between the service desired and the service rendered,
without giving away the fact that the 0.8.8., as far as rrer office
is concerned, has to rely Aainly on foreign assistance.
In preparing the attached document I have carefully
refrained from opening the jurisdictional question in its
entirety. It would appear to me, barring information which I do
not have, that it might be desirable to separate the plan of my
survey trip to Latin America from the crucial jurisdictional
problem by presenting it as a single undertaking to obtain
information of a most important nature and otherwise hardly
obtainable by our present means, for the benefit of whichever
department feels most interested in obtaining such information
and without any prejudice to existing jurisdictions. Naturally,
the State Department is the one in wand, although in view of
the military implications of the situation, the Joint Chiefs of
Staff might also be interested. The State Department's jurisdic-
tion would appear sufficient to cover such an undertaking which,
as to its procedure and technique, could only be carried out
under the auopices of the 0.8.8. Otherwise, the high degree of
secrecy which appears necessary could not be secured, and without
such secrecy it is highly improbable that the British &I. would
be able to maintain its promise of most complete and confidential
assistance.
It suggests itself that, as long as the &I. of the
0.8.8. is prevented from establishing its own organization in
Latin America, my survey trip could not succeed without British
assistance. Aware of the prejudice against too close cooperation
with the British prevailing in certain circles, I have somewhat
circumscribed this in my attached plan (see number V). It is to
be hoped, however, that those primarily concerned will be objective
enough to accept, for the benefit of our country., such an offer
which is the result of British, confidence in the 0.8.8. and long
established close cooperation between the British 8.1. and myself.
This offer, according to its very nature, is of a passing
character. Although there is no reason to doubt that the Britist
will stand to it as long as they can, they will feel themselves
more and more under the restrictive compulsion of the peacetime
interests of their own country. They have all along been very
generous in bringing me into contact with their principal agents
in several countries of Latin America. It should be of great
importance for my trip that within the last two months I was able

FLOW OF ENEMY FUNDS TO ARGENTINA.
X
DATE: August 24, 1944
SECRET
As you know, various governmental agencies have been
interested in the reported flow of German funds to Argentina, to
be used to prepare postwar havens for Nazis) fleeing treat Europe.
Treasury decided to send Mr. Sam Klaus to Europe to collect
whatever information he could find in England and in neutral
countries. Dr. Mason of R. & A. suggested that Klaus discuss
the matter with us. On our suggestion, through Dr. Mason, Klaus
also got in touch with the chief of &I. regarding the possibility
of using &I. facilities in Europe to collect material.
I attach a copy of the report made by the member of niar
staff who talked to Klaus. As you will see from this document,
we have again been put on the spot by our lack of an 8,1. service
in Latin America. Klaus is naturally most interested in knowing
what kind of coverage we could provide in Argentina in order to
collect the desired information. my representative had of course
to be very evasive on this subject. When he returns from Europe,
Klaus expects to go to Argentina to continue his work. As things
stand now we shall not be in a very good position to help him.
He will be forced to rely principally upon officials of the
American Ehlbassy and perhaps the F.B.I. We know from past
experience, and from the present lack of information on the flow
of enemy funds to Argentina, that these sources will not be
satisfactory.
We have done our utmost in our present limited capacity
to unearth significant data on this very important subject. For
some months we have been studying intercepts and asking the
British to send us whatever data they could find. Tbe results
have been almost nil. Our most recent effort has been to
provide the British with a questionnaire to be used as a basis
for investigation in Buenos Aires. Since no specific data are
available, the questionnaire had to be of a most general nature
and we are not hopeful as to the results likely to be obtained.
This is one more case illustrating the serious limitations
placed on U.S. Government policy by the lack of an S.I. service
in Latin America. Obviously the Treasury, and other departments
.of the Government, will be unable to take effective action to

PAST AND PRESENT ACTIVITIES
?--
This office became a part of the S.I. of the 0.2.5. on March
10, 1942. First under the supervision of Mr. Allen Dulles, it was,
in June 1942, placed under the direct control of the 0.8.5. in
Washington and has since operated under the direction of Mr. Whitney
E. Shepardson and Lt. Col. Francis P. Miller.
The operations of this office consist of secret economic in-
telligence with regard to Latin America. These operations are based
on:
1/ A request by Mr. James C. Dunn, made to the 0.8.5.
on behalf of the Secretary of State, to supply the
State Department (World Trade Intelligence Division)
with reports of thia office deemed of interest to
the State Department.
2/ An undertaking by the British S.I.S. to the 0.2.8.1
to supply this office with secret economic intelligence
from Latin America.
The request under #1 and the undertaking under #2 are inter-related.
Without the request of the State Department, this office could not,
for jurisdictional reasons, make use of the information received.
Without the undertaking under #2, this office could not, likewise
for jurisdictional reasons, provide the information, passed on to
the State Department.
This arrangement ha, worked out rattier well. The British
S.I.S. has continued to cooperate faithfully in furnishing this office
information from their agents stationed in Latin. America. The State
Department - and other Departments which, with the State Department's
agreement, receive copies of the reports molt to the State Department -
have continually and increasingly shown interest in these reports.
The number of reports sent to Washington stands at present as follows:
State Department 1011
Department of Justice 1249
Office of Economic Warfare 3.018
Alien Property Custodian 1038
Treasury 789

In the (=roe of its operations, this office has accumulated
extensive information about the German - and to a lesser degree the
Italian and Japanese - economic -political penetration of Zatin
America. This office has set up an extensive filing and carding
system, covering approximately 7,000 files and 30,000 cards, which
contain confidential information about approximately 37,,000 firms
and individuals of interest in connmotion with economic warfare in
the Western Hemisphere, particularly Latin America.
This office, from its inception, has worked under the cover
of a oommeroial company (see enolosed Dun & Bradstreet Report). It
has alweye gone to great lengths to protect this cover. This has
not only served, to safoguard the secrecy of its operations, but has
aleo inspired all ita staff uembers and also all officials in the
Waehington Departments with whom it cooperates with a highly developed
sense of discretion and caution. The result is that this office,
whose reporta circulate widely In Government offices in Washington,
le hardly known at all. Not the least of the reasons for which thie
office maintains such complete corer has always been the considera-
tion that it would eerve as mn excellent protection for future activities
In Latin Amorloa.
It ham been the consiotent policy of this office to keep the
size of Its staff within the narrowest possible limits. Parallel
to the increase of work, however, the staff had to be gradually en-
larged. The staff, including the Ohief of the office, now consists
of eleven aa compared with four members at its inception, an increase
of 175% (fourlof these as compared with formerly two doing investiga-
tion and research work). In the same time, our monthly budget has
Increased from $3,90 to $5,425, that means only 37%.
EXTSNSION TO LATIN AMERICA
It will be remembered that this office at the time of its
transfer to the 0.8.6 had just successfully terminated the first
round of its fight against Axis economic-politioal penetration of
the Western Hemisphere. OarrYthe out, through its own agents, CI.
and 8.0. work against the principal Gorman coopani3s in the U.S.A.,
It had, before Pearl Harbor, laid the groundwork for action taken
after Pearl Harbor by the Alien Property Custodian and several Senate
Committees against the strongholds of I. G. ?Oben, Scherirgo the
Gorman Stool Trust, etc., in this country. Preparations for the
second round in Latin America were well advanced when the entry of
the U.S.A. into the war made the transfer of this project to Ti.S.

authority necessary. When subsequently, through ko fault of its owm4
the 0.8.8. was nbt able to provide the necessary jurisdiction for
and S.O. activities in Latin America and no other agency could, be found
which vas able or willing to provide such jurisdiction, the solution
was found in an arrangement with the State Department and the British
S.I.S. as described in Part I. This was to be an emergency solution,
lasting only until such time as the 0.S.S. would Obtain sufficient
jurisdiction to cover the establishment of an S.I. and an S.O. or-
ganization in Latin America, at least in the field of economic warfare.
Twice the 0.S.S. renewed its attempt to Obtain such jurisdiction for
this office: in December 1942, particularly in the &I. field, in co-
operation with G-2, and in May 1943, particularly in the S.O.
in cooperation with the State Department. Both attempts appear to have
fallen short of success.
While doing its utmost to be useful within its present limits,
this office has constantly kept in mind the ultimate purpose for which
it was taken over by the 0.S.S., and has methodically developed its
internal facilities so as to be able to form the nucleus of a field
organization in Latin America whenever eallelupon. It has been es-
pecially for this reason that this office has assetbled as compre-
hensive a store of information as described in Part I and has con-
stantly trained its staff for future cooperation with a field or-
ganization of its own. Today, this office would. be able to enter the
Latin American field without any assistance whatsoever from other
services, including the British 8.1.8,
It is today an open secret, at least inside the Government,
that the U.S.A. has practically no S.I. and S.O. Service in Latin
America. The German secret services operate in Latin America in
three divisions:
ABTEILUNG I, covering military, naval, air,
political and economic espionage;
AB2EILU1G II, covering sabotage in its broadest
sense;
2/ ABTEILUN1 III, covering counter-espionage.
The services under #1 and. #3 have their counterpart principally in
the F.B.I. whose jurisdiction for Latin America covers all espionage
branches and also counter-espionage. In effect, however, the F.B.I.
has nearly exclusively confined itself in Latin America to counter-
espionage, with a degree of efficiency that has bean.questioned. The
F.B.I. does not cover much political intelligence,;ama. economic in-
telligence not more than incidentally. Mk,. Hoover infrequently passes
pieces of economic intelligence on to Mr. Adolph Sorb.. Such intelli-

have even hit the economic sphere, but hardly with an intention. or even
denting it. S.O. activities are not even_jurisdictionally covered, by
any agency of the U.S.A.,. and., as far as is known, no agency has ,elreor

This decision is obviously determined, by the consideration that- Latin

has oven the advantage of being in complete, it only unoffioially ex-
pressed, agreement with the British on this point. British secret economic
intelligence has, no doubt, proved to be of considerable value to the
British Government and, through the medium of this office, also to the
U,S. Government. Yet, the organization of MAI British intelligence
service in Latin America is far from meeting the requirements and from
producing geographioally and topically satisfactory coverage. This
office, since its transfer to the 0.8,S., has received from the British
office in New York, on the basis of its agrAent wit) a the 0,0.8,, 1897
reports. Of these reports, only 833 oontaiL . Intelligence worth pass-
ing on to the Dspartments in Washington; the balance contained either
minor or insuffioiently confirms& information or referred only to
questions of proeedure. These 833 reports refer to the following

Prom this schedule, it is apparent that the British Service in
Latin America is most unevenly and disproportionately organized. Such
Large and important countries as Argentina and, Mexico, centers of
German activities in Latin America, are hardly better - Wale? even
lees - covered than Ecuador and Colombia. Bolivia, one of the most
vicious strongholds of Nati influence, has smaller coverage than tiny
Guatemala and Costa Rica. Aocording to the comparatively limited
interest which the British Government takes in Litz America, it is
entirely understandable that they have not assigned their most qualified
field agents to that geographical sphere and have always only insuf-
ficiontly and belatedly trio& to improve conditions where they wore
particularly cruatisfactory with regard to organisation and, personnel.
It is known to the British office in New 'York as well as to this office
that the British agents in Latin America have, in general, not been obis
to penetrate sufficiently into the interior of those Gormsn companies
which hold a key position not only eoonomically but also political/AY -
in Latin America, and that the British agent@ are very often in the
habit of duplicating the open intelligence job of the Missies instead
of applying secret Intelligence procedure. It goes without saying that,

the U.S.A., the British still rate very highly with regard. to Latin
America.
PROSPECTS OF EXTENSION
It would appear logical that, if and. when the 0.2.S. Obtains
jurisdiction over Latin America, the espionage, counter-espionage and
S.O. organization of the 0.5.5. should. be automatically extended to
Latin America. It is unknown to the writer whether or not this would
be the procedure envisaged by the 0.S.S. It is also unknown to the
writer whether the 0.S.S. would consider it now the opportune time to
request jurisdiction over Latin America to its fullest extent.
This office nature/1y approaches the problem from a more limited
point of view. It has never dealt with counter-espionage and does not
appear particularly prepared for it. Strictly conforming with the in-
structions of the 0.S.S., it has always limited itself to S.I., that
means espionage activities. In the S.I. sphere, it has mainly worked
on economic S.J.. intelligence. It would, however, be able, without
difficulty, to cover political intelligence also, because, in Latin
America, the Germans have closely coordinated subversive economic
and political activities, and, besides, the Chief of this office is
naturally familiar with the political aspects of the German system.
In the S.O. field, the experience of thiA office is proven end known
to the 0.S.S. Primarily economic in the past, this office would be
equally able to cover the political S.O. field.
It therefore appears that the experience of this office fills
in where other U.S. agencies, principally the F.B.I., while having
jurisdiction, have actually failed to exercise this jurisdiction.
This failure is to no small extent responsible for the deterioration
of the situation in Latin America. TheF.B.I., an explained in Part
II, is now obviously aware of its failure, at least in the economic
field, How far the F.B.I.. would be willing to concede such failure
and. to yield jurisdiction to the 0.8.8.? is of course a different
matter. It appears, however, and this Is not only the writer's
opinion, that, if the 0.6.8. would be able, as it is, to present an
office which has successfully made secret economic intelligence for
Iatin America its main job, the F.B.I. would, even if not willing,
probably not be able to maintain its resistance Against the 0.3.8. .
taking over the work: which the F.B.I. haslailea. to do an& has visikly
no interest of doing. Once the jurisdiction of the 0.868. In the
economic field of Latin America is established, the mama corse of-
events wtmld sooner or later divor political intelligence into its orbit
too, while the F.B.I. would. probably Wend Its jurisdiction over counter-

tont. Contrary to the set.v of the FasI., this office would euggeet
not to inetall the chief agent and his assistants in the *busies, but
to keep them as oompletely under cover as the eubsegents are generally
hept. The dioadvantage of losing diplomotic protection would be more
than componeatod by the more oomplete secrecy which this procedure
guarenteeo. This procedure would further serve as a complete pro.
tection for the diplomotio nervioes and would therefor* be apt to ob-
viate objeotioneby the State Department which has alwaye tended to re.
etrict F.B.I. activities in Latin Amerioa, in order not to embarrass
the emb&oeiee.
For thee? reaeone, this office, as explained in Port hoe,
from Ito inception, vorked under cover of a ammonia company and done
its very beet to protect this cover. Without much difficulty, chief
agenile in Latin Amorioa could be installed under oommercial corer too,
thus proviaing a woll.orgonised net of secret service connections which
would have a goad chance not only of boing mmeh Utter protected against

towerd the police services or whatever them is of secret services of
the Latin Amerioun Governmente themselves, with whoa the]Pa6I6 is in
more or lees close oentaot. While, in sae camesi it may be possible
to obtain voluable information from such sources, they are mostly so
corrupt, unreliable nnd dependent upon the constantly changing
politioal scene that in balance the roeulte must be considered negatives

in the most difficult country of all. Chile appears to be the country
in which the tide of German influence is hanging in the balance, and
the situation yet not so difficult that a key station could not be
established, with probability of success. Mexico appears to be the
second country. Experience of time in these two countries would show
whether the service may consider itself strong enough to go into the
:heart of enemy activities, namely to Buenos Aires. Later stations in
lambia and. Brazil would appear indicated. However, this and the
?t.ablishaent of stations in further countries should be open for
