To the 8th Department. Material from "RUBLE."[i]
I am transmitting the contents of a telegram from a
representative of the "BANK"[ii] in Helsinki telegram
#265 of 29 May addressed to the "BANK":
"The following communication was sent;to London under
number 16, to Berne under number 2 and to Stockholm under
number 73.
According to information, received from a source of
uncertain reliability, two Germans - WILLI DAUGS (a known
agent) and-OTTO ENRICH, protected their assets in Finland,
by a bogus transfer In November 1944, of about one million
dollars, to an American living in Zurich E.V. DWIGHT (WIGHT?),Jr.
DWIGHT (WIGHT) until 1941 worked. for Henry MANN, formerly
living in Berlin but now is in New Yorlc, at 64 Wall. Street.
ENRICH and DAUGS, [C% it was confirmed], were owners of the
firms ERGOSSCO and GIKKAKOSKI[sic], makers of machine guns.
The firm TIKKAKOSKI is on the Proclaimed List. DAUGS and
ENRICH since the first half of 1944 have been living in
Stockholm and at the present are wanted by the Finnish police
for smuggling securities out of Finland.
It is reported that the Finnish embassy in Washington
has the sum of 323 thousand American dollars, kept in the
dossier on Suomi machine guns. This money was placed there
for TIKKAKOSKI by Irjosaa STAMOINEN, who visited the U.S.A.
in 1940 on a diplomatic visa, as a minister on a special
mission. The money was to finance the production of Suomi
machine guns in the U.S.A., however the project was not
accomplished. Inasmuch as DAUGS cannot use this money
himself, he transferred his rights to it to DWIGHT (WIGHT).
Under an agreement between DWIGHT (WIGHT) and ERGO of 24
November 1944, based on judgments of the Magistrates Court
letters number 145 and 146, the "Bank of Finland" apparently
told GATES to pay on 30 June 210 thousand American dollars
in Argentine currency in Buenos Aires or in Brazilian Currency
in Rio. Under armistice agreements Finland undertook not to
permit export of German property, without preliminary consent
of the Allied Control Commission, but if steps are not taken
immediately, the above indicated sum will be exported as
property of an American citiz?n. An unofficial. memorandum
was delivered to the Foreign Office with the request for an
investigation and suspension of action until [4 groups unrecovered]
[37 groups unrecoverable]
