Now snobbily NAZI.

I tried for their good to get thru...with suggestion that
Adolf's BEST propaganda is AAA economic LIGHT.

Plenty of the best lads will rally/ and will combat
anti-ADOLF PROPAGANDA. IF he can be got to broadcast
a little economic news/ either stamp scrip
( which is his BEST quick road away from ruin )
or some anti " poverty amid plenty "

or some anti-high finance instead of
mere Judenhitze ( or however they speak it ).

There is still a substratum of Germany where

will explain if you are interested.

ad interim/ must digest yr/ printed matter
(for which , again , thanks ).

Have read MOST of yr Handschrift.

I know class war exists. That's why I ask the question. To make people think.

I've made a close study of Germany for twelve years; and know some of the leaders. There is a crudeness which the best intelligencies recognize, but you will see it shape all right. Among Englishmen, probably none is listened to with greater respect in Germany than myself, especially in Bavaria. They have been deeply impressed by my book "Arya", mainly philosophic and about the East, India. Remember Germany has been outlawed for twenty years, and now suffers from a terrific economic (financial) boycott. They want friendship. We can give it. They'll follow our ideas, when they believe we are sincere. But there'll never be peace or confidence so long as Ramsay, Simon, Atlee, Cripps and Co., are at the head.

I read you with interest and inspiration. I liked a phrase of yours in "The New English Weekly" about the blokes who come back from the edges of the Empire. True. We've seen things and heard voices.

I don't believe you are right about the Thyssen-owned Hitler. I've explored that carefully. No evidence of it at all. Germany isn't militarist to-day. I'm sure of it. The Stavisky-Litvinoff-National Government crowd may drive Germany mad. If you are interested I could put you in touch with some brilliant minds who have really grasped the possibility of a Germany in the Twentieth Century Revolutionary Era, and are working for it.

I am all for Douglas. I'm not interested to split hairs about Policy, if only any government will do something. I laid down this outline of Policy in the "N.W.", because most of it can be done simply by the will to do it. It requires no endless debates, no complicated legislation. We've got the machinery and the knowledge.

Of course I have been boycotted in my profession as a writer for more than a year. I was a newspaper darling when I wrote fantastic thrillers. When I deliberately wrote "Meteor" and "Arya" and published "The National Worker", I committed economic suicide. But I believe these ideas

paid work , so drastically that NOW there will be some
work for everyone.

Doug/ inhumanly keeps hammering on LEISURE
but Mass/ sees that you got to have WORK (noral effect...
but damn IMMORA L to have people hog the work, so long
as insufferable fixation about " work and rest ".

I think I have moderate statement in my ABC.

As far as labour goes / MARX was for shortening hours of labour
so this merely interfies that already NEEDED idea.

The other undeniable advance/ that doesn't rile anyone is
Doug's " source of value is cultural heritage ",

not a more history of how it happened.

At any rate I am for all yr/ Objectives, save " socialist state "

which is simply a term that I don't understand. I mean

My dear Pound,

Excellent, yours of 18th June. Reason why so
many intellectuals furious with Hitler is because it
seems to them that Adolf having debunked so many intell-
ectuals in Germany, insulted English intellectuals. Eyes
turned inwards. One of the most virile nations, far
advanced in science, medicine, architecture, etc., couldn't
almost unanimously have supported Hitler if he wasn't two-
thirds right. There is a vacuum at present. It will be
filled. In England, there is not study of sociology.
Middle class will not accept responsibility for poverty.
They don't want to know anything about sociology. You
see this in education. They turn to physical sciences.
That's half the trouble. It is the same throughout all
parties and classes.

Heeps of good fellows in the Blackshirts. Ignorant.
They don't like Mosley. They know nothing of Rothermere.
But Mosleys clever enough not to allow any man of real
quality to get into his Headquarters. Testimony to his
funk and insincerity. B.U.F. ought to demand that all
men acting on these lines should be heard. Hitler did
it: his darre feder Goebells highly intellectual should
pursue the revolutionary economic lines.

McNair Wilson, medical correspondent of "The Times",
or was I think, speaks for Astor at Dover. So did I when
I was working for "The Times". I've positively refused
to do so again. "The Times" stands for Gold Standard

very strong friends among Indians, e.g. Sapru,
Maharaja of Baru and Haksar, P.M. of Gwalior.
They back my interpretations. They know that
"Safeguards" mean Bank of England, and they'll
resist. Mosley wont meet me, though I'm will-
ing. I think Olympia and the Black shirt have
killed him. He's hauled down his flag and
closed headquarters in St. Albans, and so else-
where. In Goethe's Faust, the Schülerscene,
occurs the passage: "He who seizes the moment
is the right man" (translation). Mosley's
movement might now be used if only he'd listen.
You might prompt him. Two outstanding English
qualities of the past - courage (not king and
country stuff, but moral), and integrity. If
Mosley had courage to reshape his movement and
some of his policies, he'd win. Who wants the
Leadership? The Empire's big enough. But if
Mosley goes on his way, he'll bust. I'm going
to see "New Britain" and "11th Hour" crowd. Also
hope to see your good wife. Pity Drummond's

nings, R.A. about Germany. Agree entirely your

Dear Pound,

"Your Verdict?" under separate cover.

Long talk last night with my friend A. de V. Leigh, Secretary London Chamber of Commerce. Tells me he has impressed Godfrey Thomas, and the Prince has got some notion, though very vague, that the trouble is finance. The Queen, British Israelite, has got the idea all wrong and things International Financiers are going to produce the Messiah. H.R.H. is believed to have had a rap on the knuckles for his speech to the London Chamber written by Leigh. Leigh has addressed a good many meetings and House of Commons, forty members. They wont think, don't want to. "Eleventh Hour" people saw Leigh yesterday morning, asked him to write for them. Looks as if we're focusing.

All facts about motion to investigate Monetary system prove that proposal ruled out of order for sinister reasons. Leigh drafted the second amendment. D. M. Mason (sound Currency, Gold Standard Maniac) put proposal to investigate monetary policy. Leigh's amendment, tabled by Craven Ellis, was to investigate Monetary System. Government then withdrew the whole thing, so as to prevent debate. In any case Leigh tells me not one man in the House capable of expounding Monetary system.

Labour Party simply hopeless. They are either innocent or deliberate tools of High Finance. Endless chatter about obtaining control of production. Production is all right, individual genius. We've justified ourselves up to the hilt. Its credit that's all wrong. It is change of system that is wanted, not change of policy. Of course it will work out

in terms of Guild Socialism, bound to.

There's only one way to clarify this situation. That is for Orage, Odle, and all other reformers to make an attack on Labour Party pundits. Williams, Financial Editor "Daily Herald" is chief booster for usury. Labour Party leaders must be attacked for their stupidity or corruption. They're either nit wits or dishonest. Strong groups must shake up Trade Unions. Otherwise swing of political pendulum at next Election, I think October, will produce stalemate or small Labour majority. Perhaps best that this would happen. Inevitable result must be National Socialism, that is combining best Tory and Labour element focused in personality.

I've written to Germany, General Haushofer, highly intelligent, stupendous worker, adviser to Hess, broadcasts and orientalist. I am Deeply interested to read your philosophic basis.

would have sent without this. I'm posting you some
spare copies. Most important that a copy should get
to the Mussolini fountain head in Italy, together with
my notes which I enclose. Through round about ways
I've got access to privileged information. Belgians
are terrified out of their lives. The Anciens Combat-
tants secretly support me and my ideas. They want the
truth. Prince Charles is not satisfied; and some diplom-
atic push through Queen Astrid, per Italy, would produce
public post mortem. King's body belongs to the people.
"Le Peuple" and Communist Deputies as well as some Court
authorities have spread rumour of suicide. My informat-
ion, to be confirmed, is that King was shot in right
temple and body battered about afterwards. Murder's name,
Widender. He was murdered behind the Corneille, that
is, Bonines side. Truth has got to come out to save
European situation. Italian authority could now do a
lot. Public post mortem with non-Grand Orient doctors
and officials, would show facts. Any other country would
have said to me "Come and see for yourself." Belgian
Ambassador insulted me and incited Belgians against me.
Therefore proof.

Can you engineer something here?

Germany. I've written Haushofer get in touch with
you. Both he and his wife write and read perfect Eng-
lish. Revolution throw up gangsters as well as ideal-
ists. But even Rohm had his points. Adolf was a mut
not to throw him out years ago, but he's got the loyalty
complex. Men I know in Germany, though occupying
no high positions are Theo Scharf, caricaturist to "Volk-
isher Beobachter," but what a mind, Australian born,
first class diplomat, straight as a gun. Hauptmann Lud-
wig Steil of the Reichswehr. I scrapped him like hell in
the War. He's the poet of Bavaria. Everyone devoted
to him. Half English wife. Graff Armansperg, soldier,
musician, one of my best friends. Incorruptible. These
people ought to be pushed up. Why doesn't Muss. give
Adolf some tips?

The war gang are very busy here. I expect you've
read new Trade Union resolution on war. Barthou, Weg and
conspiracy. Ramsay pushed off on a holiday and everything
ready for the guns to go off. I hear we're making a
present of Somaliland to the Italians as a sop to get them

on our side. If the truths in "Your Verdict?" could get publicly known and disseminated, it would put paid to the war mongers' bill. Why don't "New English", "11th Hour", "New Britain" and so forth cheer Adolf along the road of financial reform and peace. Germans, naturally, have got inferiority complex badly since the War. The policy of damning Adolf is bound to produce fury, hatred and desire to hit back in his enthusiastic followers. If these papers don't do this, there's no opposition to the armament gangsters. Can't you put this across. I doubt if they'll listen to me on Germany, though I've been consistent about Versailles since 1920 when I resigned from the Foreign Office on the Silesian decision.

The men primarily who are running Monetary policy reform are either very young or have never been out of their country. We are an Empire. We can be the biggest influence in the world. These people have got jaundiced, ready-made views on Germany, Italy, Russia and world politics. There's not one of my type in ten thousand who have any foundation in economics or philosophy. These people ought to make use of knowledge. They wont. That's where they come to grief. You can put some ideas in their heads on this line. If we want peace with Germany, its no good abusing Adolf. That will simply make for war; and in war Governments always take sides, backing the big battalions. Result will only be sets of allies, conscription and loss all round. Let them look for the good in Hitlerism, etc. and boost that. Sound psychology. If an opinion which I respect tells me that my landscapes are good, I stick to landscapes. Of course. Therefore, if our groups want to influence Germany or the world let them follow suit. It's the same with India. Literally true there is not a man in England of my age and type of thought possessed of my experience of the world and public affairs. Why don't these people use them? Together we could force the issue with the Labour Party. They're all confusing realities with false definitions.

Dear Pound,

Returned from France where I have been painting. French
peasants, both in south and north seem fully alive to the
fact that finance causes war, and I found them, resulting
from the Stavisky affair, strongly anti-Jewish.

"The Week" seems to have degenerated into blatant Bolshie
propaganda, filled with blazing inaccuracies. If Press
reports are true Mussolini is pitching his war talk on the
top note, while the German Corporal talks of other things.

I have passed on your circulars to where we ought to
obtain useful replies. The T.U.C. Congress has delivered
itself of more meaningless drives this year than ever before.
England is hopeless. I find more sense among Catalan peas-
ant than I hope in my day to find in the nation of shopkeepers.

My dear Pound,

Ever so many thanks for your long and instructive letters and advice. How you find time to do all this beats me. But I am most grateful. It is curious that the outlying parts of the Empire seem more interested in financial reform than is England. Australia has run Doublas candidates; and I have great support from Rhodesia, even an invitation to return and lead the political battle.

Britain is doped, and I think will have to go
Bolshie before there is any chance of resurrection.
The Labour Party resolutions are simply hopeless, and
worse than that with Cripps and Attlee as the principal
sinners. My book "Challenge" is coming out just after
Christmas. So far "Blood Money" has been completely
boycotted by the Press. But some of the book-stalls
are giving it a very good show. I enclose review

I will look up Leese one day again. Last time I saw him he tore Douglas to shreads, but if people sit and think the brain cell is bound to open.

From Fuller's last letter to me, I'm beginning to wonder whether he hasn't over Napoleonized his ego. Although a crank on mechanization he has a sound sense of strategy and a great knowledge of world affairs. His influence in the Army is considerable. He's gone to assist Mosley in reorganizing the Blackshirts, and writes "should this not be done within the next few months I shall quit" which suggests that either Fuller or the Blackshirts have no ideology.

It would be just like the plutocratic Kajah, his yes-men and psychophants of the Bombay Presidency to suggest I was crazy. But boys have a much surer sense of these things, especially Hindus with their amazing philosophic sense. And Indians have reacted most kindly to my book "Arya".

I can't quite make out what Mosley's up to except to put himself on top. Here he is bound to fail.

I have electrified huge audiences in quiet Dorsetshire by telling them the truth. No Mosley fireworks and

now they're all talking.

Re autopsy. on Orage, I hear MacKay has been very
mysteriously very ill at Oxford. He is over here until
about the 29th. Looks fishy, and I just missed Mark
at Cambridge where he was staying with my friend Mans-
field Forbes. So here is a joint contact.

Ian Hamilton could never read economics. He's got
decent instincts, that's all.

I hope the Diwan will correspond. I have had a
bang at Haksar, Diwan of Gwalior and at the Nawab of
Bhopal along these lines. Both highly intelligent and
reacted immediately. Most favourable. Of course I
ought to be in India. Attached is a question asked in
the House the other day. That would blow the lid off
the White Paper if only people knew the truth behind it.
Reading is of course chairman of I.C.I. who among other
things have just secured the monopoly to supply bullets
to the British Army, all the old stuff which was so ser-
viceable during the War, have been condemned.

Adolf is obviously behaving very well over the Saar
while the agent provocateurs are busier than ever. I
wish Muss would weigh in on the subject of the Saar. It seems
is quite certain Italy is being accommodated with chunks
of African Territory because I meet officers from the
Sudan Defence Force, Jubaland, etc., who confirm activities
and re-arrangements which have mystified them? The
strongest possible rumour suggests also that the Sudan is
to be handed over to Egypt, where they're concocting a
new money power government in line with the Palestine stunt.
So there are some curious things happening at the strategic
centre of the earth which the general public wants now of.

IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES, LIMITED.

Extract from Official Report (Hansard) 5th November, 1934.

8. MR. T. SMITH asked the Secretary of State for India whether he is aware that indignation has been aroused in India at the news that Imperial Chemicals, Limited, are negotiating with the government of India for a 50 year monopoly to exploit the chemical resources of the Punjab; and, in view of the fact that India will shortly be given a new constitution, what steps he proposes to take to ensure that in the event of any such contract being entered into the interests of India will be adequately safeguarded?

SIR S. HOARE: I have no information beyond what is contained in the official report of the proceedings of the Legislative Assembly of the 14th August, of which I am sending the Hon. Member a copy. The matter is one within the discretion of the authorities in India, who will, I have no doubt, see that the interests of India are properly safeguarded.

MR. HANNON: Would it not be a very valuable thing for the economic development of India that corporations like the Imperial Chemical Industries, Limited, should take part in it?

SIR S. HOARE: I can quite imagine that such would be the case, but as I say, I have no details, as to this matter in my possession.

Dear Pound,

I used to know both Mairet and Newsome.
With Mairet I found myself much in sympathy
in many ways, though not with several members
of the old Chandos Group, with three of the
foremost of whom I have nothing in common.

No truth in the rumour of more executions
of Brownshirts. I've never heard Hitler des-
cribed as Mädchen in Uniform. Seems to be
part of the whispering campaign whose technique
is quite familiar. Look up Hitler's War record.
Front line soldier, Western Front for four years.
Twice wounded, twice recommended for conspicuous
gallantry. And for past 15 years qualities of
highest courage.

I've asked my publisher to send you my new
book "Challenge". Out 4th January. Here is
the statement of a credo. I expect the Press
will boycott it as usual.

I've just sent to publishers MSS titled
"Passchendaele Unmasked - Mailed Fist and Hidden
Hand." I've raked history and F.O. Documents
etc. A terrible story. Passchendaele, Capar-
etto, Chemin des Dames, Russian Revolution, mut-
inies in the Armies all linked together. This
ought to blow the lid off war. It ties up
also with the Jutland story. Either the pol-
iticians and generals know the facts, in which
case they're criminals, or else they don't, in

17th May, 1936.

My dear Pund,

Many thanks for your letter. I tried co-operation with "Prosperity" and to push the Petition. Very difficult. I wrote Holloway an explanatory letter as to why I did not feel I could any longer co-operate. Frankly, the show seems to be run by very flabby people, and they do not seem to be purposive. Too many side-tracking movements in this Country as elsewhere. I have always had sympathy for Hargrave's stuff, but he has never come my way.

With regard to The Glasgow Forward, of course nearly all the conceptions of this group are in line with my own. It may not surprise you to learn that quite a number of Communists have joined me. They were merely ignorant and had been led astray. But Tom Johnston some while back made a violent attack on me personally. Just as the Blueshirts in Italy, joined the Fascists so in Germany the Communists joined the National Socialists. I have tried the N.E. Weekly with stuff, but they won't even publish a letter from me.

I am holding a good many meetings these days. I will send you very soon a most revealing new publication. Meanwhile, I enclose some of our latest pamphlets etc. You may have had these from Mrs. Buchanan. Things are moving all along the right line, and much more so behind the scenes than it appears. The resignation of Lord Queen-borough from the Treasurership of the League of Nations' Union, has fairly shaken the Cabinet and its reflections go on and on.

26th May, 1936.

Dear Mr. Pound,

Again many thanks for your letter and
perception.

I agree as to USURY but I am not prepared
to leave Yidd in complete control of all the machinery
and nearly every position in cultural life even after
their fixxx deemed financial position bust. No
question of race prejudice. On the contrary as I show-
ed in India. BUT, without using exact scientific
terms, cultural and race are part of nature and belong
to the ethnic plan. The Yidds have given us much in
place of all that is enobling and inspiring in the Arts
and cultural life.

I am moving the powers that be to see the
vital necessity for change of financial technique.
Got some very good names for the Petition. I enclose
two articles from Lord Queenborough in the Sunday
Chronicle and the Sunday Express. Note most pungent
phrase marked in Sunday Chronicle. I think this shows
the way the wind is blowing and can tell you I have
fully discussed this question in some of the highest
quarters.

I enclose two of my latest documents.
" Truth " has been broadcast by post to a select list
of over 20,000. Many more to come, Not so bad at
the time of the ' Thomas stink '. Every workman
knows that the pals of the Pando-Socialist were
gambling in millions. They will look more closely
at Attlee, Blum, Citrine and all that crowd. I find
the Communists are friendly to me. The Mosleyites
have sworn to have my blood.

" Truth ".

I would so like to have your opinion on

With a SMALL force under yr/ command you attacked in
1915, say a hill or a farm/ You didn't send yr/ men against
Koln, Berlin, Stuttgart and Bremen all at once.

Every page of" Truth " that starts irrelevant discussion
as the EPSTEIN pages DOIS, as the Sasoon ( parsee ) slip does.
WEAKENS the impact.

7th July, 1936.

My dear Pound,

I enclose some copies of a new leaflet I have produced. I will certainly do all I can to meet in absolute harmony any groups of the ' left ' willing to discuss a common policy for the betterment of mankind. I am thinking especially of the ' Forward '. The experience of the General Strike shows that if any attempt is made, constitutionally or otherwise, to sabotage the State, that there is an immense bourgeois class, including large numbers of well-intentioned and humane people, who would rally to the forces of reaction, and simple arms would be on their side, such Revolution would prove as abortive as before. On the other hand, I do excercise a great deal of influence with those men who constitute true nobility, with masses of youth, Ex-Servicemen; and it is probably that the bourgeois would be more likely to accept my guidance than that of anyone whom they would term ' of the working class '.

I am more than ordinarily well-informed as to what is being done to sabotage the State by the Communist organisation, through shop stewards, in H.M. Ships, and elsewhere. I shall not enlarge on that. I also know that these gentry would very much like to bump me off, and already have experience of glasses, bottles,

and bricks being thrown at me, as well as other little tricks.

In order to accomplish what we seek for the welfare of mankind, it is absolutely necessary to form a bridge. I believe that you yourself might accomplish this.

I have held many meetings. I find always among all sections of the Working masses full support for the National Workers' Party on Programme as outlined. If anyone can improve it, such additions and interpolations are welcomed.

The fact is that our present Government from any standpoint, is hopeless. If one turns to the so-called Labour Party, there is hopelessly ineffective leadership, a mass of nonentities, largely ignorant, and a number of bosses not far removed from the type of Jimmy Thomas. Again I suggest a bridge. And the time is very short.

With all best wishes.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Hutchison

The CONCRETE problem is to get ANY of you BLIGHTERS to speak to ANYONE else.

I don't mean meeting in the open, but to get ANY two of you GOD-damned Englishmen to OPEN conversation with ANY other and to assist ME in trying to form a common ground.

You might THINK that an agreement as to the meaning of six or eight essential WORDS will be acceptable even to people of different views.

CAN you get these blighters in Cursiter St (supposed to think of themselves as intelligentzia) to consider such a preliminary step ??

There is a weekly paper, issued regularly and merely going to WASTE.

Someone OUGHT to guide Mairet.

Hargrave shows as much intelligence as anyone.

I will be delighted to go to 34, Abingdon Court on Wednesday the 29th. My difficulty for the moment is as of time, because I believe I have a public meeting that evening; but I believe about between 3.30 and 5.30 p.m. would suit me admirably.

For quite a number of years now there has been a great deal which Hargrave has written which I have liked immensely; for my part, I can see no barrier. I have tried to get Philip Mariat in an amiable mood; but the trouble with the intellegencia seems to be that they are far more concerned with literary forms than they are with ideas and direct statement. There is a Hell of a lot of debunking to be done. May God protect me further from the alleged nobility and stinking bourgeois ideas. I have got quite a lot of sympathy with the Bolshies for bumping off the parasites.

I find the public, especially the working people, will listen to economic righteousness; and what the Country we might make of this - rapidly, being despoiled with lousy advertisements, hideous bankers, sink cleaners, electric gadgets, and Heaven knows what.

If the Protocols are not a forgery, there is a lot of truth in them. We were far better off as Cavemen, and much happier.

Dear Pound,

I decided yesterday to lay off Jews, developing a purposive Policy. I need not go into the reasons. I will meet Hargrave on the 24th at 3.30 p.m., and will probably bring with me my closest associate. I am confirming this also to your wife in London.

My permanent address is as above.

I will get in touch with Gine Gario when he is here, and if he wishes give him some good names as contributors, such as Lord Queenborough, the former Treasurer of the League of Nations' Union, who resigned, and who is a warm supporter of mine, and some M.Ps if he wants them.

We are forming a new front from the Left Wing of Labour which is really my proper place ; and the Right Wing of the Tories. It is now moving fairly rapidly.

All the best,
