Ford investigators, member. of the
Daniels organization of near-detec-
tives. as follows: "Mr. f. Hunter
Creech. Dear Sir: 1 have had, no il

least six months, since his failure to
carry out any part of his agreement.

whate was agreed to between us
was upon his initiative. and after re

dunned him about his delinquency.
You volunteered the statement to me-.
We nre trying to settle up DIR.

This is the substance if not the exact
words l naturally suppose that we
meant yourself as Wise Wood told me
that you had full charge of all the
work in the East. This will explain
what l wrote TO you and probably will
take away any feeling of surprise you
may have felt about my letter. The
wise Wood here mentioned is Henry
A. Wise Wood, the well-known pro-
tector of the United States civilization
against radicals, listed in the Daniels
office as 1O5 A. Mr.. 1O5 A was for
long time the leading spirit in the Ma
tional Security League: Hl
These matters were well under way
when there appeared on the scene the
man who could furnish any number of
Protocols of any type. The purchaser
had but to make known the laand pre-
ferred. Mr.. RodionOff was taken by
the. Ford employees with complete seri-
business. He presented himself as part
owner of the original PrtoOclOs in He
brew, and declared he was the posses
sor of thirteen new Protocols. He was
the champion ProtocOler of the world.
Investigator Creech wrote to Mr..
Ford's editor. Cameron. Ms follows: 1T
occurs to me that it would he quite
valuable IL we had Photographic copy
of the Protocols in Hebrew and place
same in our files against investigations
we might encounter in the future"
Operator 1O3 A was especially assigned
to deal with this ROdiOnoff. No. 1O3

DIR. Houghton, formerly of the United
States Secret Service. This 1O3 A re-
ported that Rotlionof had shown pa
pers that he had worked for the Tsar's
government. He quotes Rodionor as
saying. that he has the originals Of
the Protocols In Hebrew and that these
were the originals which were in the
possession of Serge Nilus. The twenty
four that have been published in this
country, continues DIR. Houghton, re-
porting to his superiOrs, ''are the orig
inal Protocols which were gotten up at
the Basle conference in 1897. There
have since been written thirteen more
which had never been published. All of
these he has in the original Hebrew.
Everyone who has come in contact with
Rodionoff is impressed with his sin
cerity and dependability. We all be-
lieve that he has what he says he has.
Would not recommend visit of Ro-
tlionoff to Dearborn for several reas-
ons." No. 103 A did not. for several
reasons" wish Rodionoff to see Mr..
Ford. Therefore, Rodionoff endeavOr-

1O3 A to get to Mr.. Ford himself. His
letter was turned over by the manu-

also had been Government investiga-

Smith sent for Rodionoff Immediate

1874 Y. He told him Il story. with all
the detail necessary to a picture in five
reels. Rodinoff described himself us
actually acquainted with Serge Nilus,
the Russian publisher who first put the
Protocols on the market. Nilus ac-
the Russian order, and tiuently spoke
eight languages, including Hebrew, One
of the most important of'these details
was that the original Protocols in He
brew are at present in the possession
of a secret Russian anti-Jewish propa-
ganda institution with headquarters
near Harbin. Russia. "Near Hardin,
Russia" is perfect setting for this
type of melodrama. RodionOff hinted
clearly enough to be understood that
for n consideration he could obtain for
Mr.. Ford Photographic copies.

such serious place in the secret work
of the United States Government that
