BROOKS looked helplessly at his
y friend whose eyes were still
glued to the same story on the same
page.
I've expressed myself in my
letter" he finally answered.
"All right Now let's get to your
letter to the New Masses. You say
you never heard Of william Good
ales, the name under which William
Dudley Policy was registered at the
Hotel Edison?"
That's right"
Had you ever been to the Hotel
Edison?"
yes. I've been there number
Of times"
"whenP Do you remember the
dates?"
Il know the dates but I refer you
to the Hotel Edison for that in
formation"
Did you ever meet Pelley7"
mo"
Did you ever meet Royal Scott
Gulden, Of the mustard king family,
who is the director Of the Order of
1852"
"Yes-but not while 7 was regis
tered at the Hotel Edison he
added desperately. 81 don't re-
member just when I met him. I
guess it was on the day I made
the application to join the Order. 4"
"Your father, Col. Edwin Emer-
son, is in the United States. Has
he communicated with you about
the articles in The New Masses?"
BROOKS looked helplessly at the
y man with him and bit his lip.
yes" he said coldly his mouth
thin line.
What did he say?"
THAT is a matter between my
father and myself"
you knew that your father and
his wife we're broke at times. Then
they suddenly got some money. Did
your father ever tell you where he
got that money and from whom?"
That is an unnecessary ques-
ton"
"All right You saw your father
at II Battery Place in New York,
Gid you not?"
yes"
"You knew that his rent was be-
ing paid by the German Consul
General and that he was engaged
in organizing anti-Semitic move
ments in this country?"

A Letter TO the
New Masses
Il know nothing about that"

II know nothing about that"
did your father ever take you
into his confidence as to what he
was doing in this country?"
It knew he was connected with
the Friends Of Germany"
Did you ever hear him speak on
anti-Semitism?
II heard him speak once at the
Harvard Club in New York His
subject was Pirate Treasure
BROOKS looked at me and grinned
u triuInphantly.
Wasn't it at this innocent meet
ing that you met Gulden and Guen-
Their Orgell, head Of the German
Foreign Secret Political Service in
this country and
IT don't remember whom met
at that meeting"
isn't it strange that the leaders
Of anti-Semitic propaganda in this
country all happened to gather at
the Harvard Club to hear your
father speak on Pirate Treasure at
that date?"
Brooks Gid not answer.
do you know how your father
makes his living?"
"The details of what my father
does for a living are not my bust
ness" Brooks exclaimed.
Did your father ever talk to you
about anti-Semitism?"
Il believe So" he said slowly,
Eyes. he talked to me about anti
Semitism but can't remember
when"
you say in your letter to The
New Masses that you never met Mr..

said. He lighted another cigarette.
His fingers drummed nervously on
the arm of his chair.
What YVES Mr.. Kelley's business?"
II think he was a consulting en-
gineer. I don't know"
He is a friend Of yours and you
don't know his business?"
Brooks did not answer. he drum

Washington.
I MET a scared agent of the secret
l espionage Order of '76 by appoint
ment in the Racquet Club on 18th
Street where Washingtons blue
bloods, diplomats and big bust
ness" men gather to inveigh against
Communism and the Menace of
the jew"
I was in the State Department
when I telephoned Sidney Brooks,
of the Republican Senatorial and
c Congressional Campaign Committee
for an interview. Readers of The
New Masses will remember that
Brooks, close in the condolences of
Senators and Congressman, was
shown to be the son of Col. Edwin
Emerson, notorious Hitler agent,
who first organized the anti-Semitic
movement on national scale in the
United States.
I had just been informed by The
New Masses that letter from
Brooks had arrived. The questions
Mr.. Brooks raises as to the accuracy
of certain statements in my article
of Oct. can be settled only after
examination of data which is not
available here in Washington. 1
hope to be able to settle that ques-
ton next week. But meanwhile 1
tried to get an immediate appoint
ment with Brooks. He asked me
to call later.
TWO hours later, with Seymour
1 Waldman of the Daily Worker
Washington staff beside me 1 tele-
phoned his Office again. His secre-
tary answered.
"Oh, yes, Mr.. Spiyak Mr.. Brooks
isn't here just now, but he asked
you to call him at the Racquet
Club"
1 had never been to Washington MS
Racquet Club. I had heard a lot
about it. I knew that Kurt G. Sell,
the Nazi foreign press correspond
ent, lived at the swanky club, and
Sell is always in touch with the
German embassy. I thought it was
fitting that a New Masses reporter
see an Order of rs espionage agent
at this place.
1 took a stenographer along with
me to take notes of the interview
so that Brooks could not say he
was misquoted. The club, how
ever, would not permit her in and
with Waldman beside me I took
my own laborious and detailed
notes. Mr.. Brooks came down the
wide luxuriously carpeted stairway

How 'SeditiOn' Came
To DanielsOn, Former
Yankee Stronghold

from Lenin in Russian. Wiley was
amazed at the excellent library Of
the Danielson State Troopers Bar
racks-but he was unable 10 do any
translating much as ne would have
liked to DO so.
Said the Officers: Can you speak
Scotch?
Wiley had a hard time telling
them he was a graduate Of Penn
State and a student for two years
in the Union Theological Seminary
where he had come under the in
fluence Of such holy triumvirate
as the Reverends Henry S. Coffin
tmiIlionaire) Henry P. Van Dusen
("Unregenerate kulsk" in his own
words, and the Reverend julius
Bewer tHitlerite bishop.
The Officers: They ought to
shoot some Of those darn radical
professors that will take one Of our
own good American boys from u.s.
That night in the barracks prison,
Wiley overheard a conversation:
He didn't do much--he's nice
fellow. He just handed out a few
pamphlets"
mo, he knows what it's all about,
and that stuff spreads like fire"
These officials were referring to
reprints Of editorials in the Daily
Worker that goes second class
through the mails.
nANIELsON was warned that
" warrant was out for him, but he
didn't feel like roaming away from
the old homestead On Monday
morning the prisoners were charged
with sedition before Judge John W
Gallup by Prosecuting Attorney
Sesrls Darlington who had issued
the wsrrants. The large audience
present literally ate up Wiley's
words. The strikers remembered
well what these fellows had done
for them in collecting relief. They
had gathered enough produce from
sympathetic farmers to supply two
neighboring towns.
Wiley even won over the SYM
pathy. at least for moment, Of
the Judge and prosecutor when he
said that he didn't smoke, drink,
or bother much with women. He
! Immediately made a connection OF
such virtues with how the Commit
mist Party was trying to prevent a
sell-out by German. The overbur-
dened intelligence of law and order
finally stopped beautiful speech,

Danielson had not distributed any.
The same morning Of the trial,
Joe West was arrested for passing

this time the overburdened intel

NOWN in Danielson, where they
" grow good Connecticut Yankees,
the police have taken up a theme
song on Communism. Some of the
towns better citizens, including a
judge and prosecuting attorney,
rather like it and are now singing
it, too. This is how it goes:
For they're Jolly good fellows
But in with the wrong, wrong
gang"
And
You must be Jews or Russians,
Impossible-can you speak
Scotch or Russian?"
Now Connecticut Yankees don't
go around singing Communist songs
or songs about Communists with
out due inspiration. Inspiration
came fast-too fast for the strike
breakers to think up any better
charge than sedition against Rus
sell Danielson and Donald Wiley.
two young men who were supposed
to be supplying striking textile
workers with propaganda about a
threatened sell-out of their strike.
At this stage of the strike. this
writer knows that thousands Of
textile workers III Eastern Connec-
ticut realize with bitterness the be-
trayal by German g. Co.
Wiley and Darielson are arrested
on a serious charge even though
the prosecution stands on legal
farce. Their presence in the Dam
ie1son area was too well liked by
the strikers, so the State Police,
not the local, were ordered to stop
those men,
On FRIDAY night at II o'clock
September 81, as Wiley stepped
from a theatre to hitch a ride TO
the farm on the outskirts of the
town where he was employed, a
disguised police car very politely
accommodated him-to the bar
racks. On Sunday afternoon they
seized Danielson.
NOW Wiley halls originally from
N Fawn Grove. Pa, but Danielson,
strangely enough, bears a name
identical with that Of the town in
which he and his father lives.
Stranger still, Danielson's fathers
father and a few more fathers in
the family managed to hang on to
a homestead that was the first
white settlers in the region-which
earned them the right to have a
New England village named after
them. And so when a scion of such
a family, and ? graduate of Dart
mouth to boot, was arrested for
sedition. the gravestone in an
ancient cemetery nearby must have
/ toppled over because the village
rang with alarm.
Danielson, having lived so long
in Daniclson, did not greatly mys-
tify the overTorked intelligence of
the police, for a thirteen year old
brother had passed cut literature
in the local high school But the
police pumped Wiley.
The Officers: Are you sure there
is no Russian or Jewish blood in
you?
Wiley told them he wasn't sure
and how far back his Scotch-Irish
ancestry went, but that he had
positive proof somebody in this
family had fought in the American
Revolution and was thrown out OF
his Quaker community because OF
the blood on his hands.
The Officers: Can you speak any
other language?

Russia and throughout the U. S.
s. r. We have among the Jews
excellent metal workers, machinists,
filters, navigators, a great number
of shock brigaderS who are leading
others in mastering production.
This kind of question would seem
too ridiculous not only to our lead
ing workers, but to every school
child of any nationality in our
country.
mo less ridiculous is the ques-
ton about the Jews and the Red
Army. The history of the prole-
tartan revolution and of the Civil:
War has in its records many ex-
cellent fighters and commanders,
both on the barricades and on the
fronts of the Civil War, emerging
from among Jewish workers, en-
ployes and agricultural workers.
The same must be said about the
Jews in the Red Army at present.
Our Red Army is a class army
and it is international. 1t gives
military instruction to the toilers Of
all the nationalities of the U.SS.R,
In the territorial divisions of the
Red Army, military instruction is
conducted in the native tongues.
In White Russia, military instruc-
ton in the ranks of the territorial
army is conducted in White Rus
sian. The cultural work within the
Red Army is conducted in all Ian
guages, including Jewish. The
toiling Jewish Red Army men are
just as good fighting material
as the Red Army men of the other
nationalities. If territorial divisions
were to be located, say, in Bro

ton in those divisions would be
