Mrs. Ephra V. Townley,
Via Castruccio
Corso Umberto
Rapallo, Italy

My dear Mrs. Townley:

I am in receipt of your letter of January 10th, enclosing letter from Ezra Pound. I would dearly have loved to meet him, although our time was very limited.

I have been so busy here in Washington with other matters that I have not had the time to consider the foreign situation.

It begins to look to me as if a war between Japan and Russia would take place most any time, unless the cooler heads in Japan are able to prevent it. I was convinced when I was in Japan that they would have an explosion in the near future.

I think Italy made a mistake by going into Ethiopia as she has. Public opinion in the United States is overwhelmingly against her, notwithstanding anything to the contrary you may hear. The cost to Italy, in my judgement, will be far greater than any advantage which she may get out of it, no matter if she should take over all of Ethiopia.

Japan will find out, in my judgement, that her militant occupation in northern China will be extremely expensive to her. In fact, she is finding it out already. I have no particular sympathy with Great Britain, and feel she is generally looking out for her own selfish end, and certainly has not much right to complain over what Italy is doing.

The thing that I am interested in is keeping the United States out of this conflict. As I view the situation, the capitalist system is breaking down very rapidly, not from agitation by Socialists or Communists, but because of the selfishness of the financial crowd that guides the destiny of most nations.

I can assure you that Mrs. Wheeler and I were very pleased to meet you, and I personally appreciated your sending me the information which you have.

BKW*M

someone you trust on the other end of this wire, and
let me force a few facts on the bloke's attention. ??

Might also do something to IMPROVE the education in Montana
(economic AND literary, cultural etc. TO BREAK up the
god damn fugg and papier maché monopoly of a lot of stiffs
in New York, born dead and anny annoyed that life shd.
exist ANYwhere.)

My Dear Senator

Why shd/ the horse sense you are here quoted
as using on the Senate be bitched by an " ex "member of the
British Intelligencem namely Wiseman, now a director of Kuhn Loen.

Did someone say Kuhn's in the wood shed ?

Why didn't YOU tell me about W.W. when I was in "Washington"?

dont you people ever think in concrete cases ?

loan sharks are worse than gun salesmen.

re. stuffed shirts, as you called 'em. neither "ridges whom I
like or Vandenberg who won't help moneary reform, are
exactly stuffed. I don't suppose your damn party wd. nominate
you or anyone from west of the mississi pi ?

Still you and bro. Bankhead might think up a few useful moves
he don't like the eastern view any better than you do. In fact
the eastern view is too damn near "Palestine."

yours

Some of yr/ remarks are being quoted in continental papers.

My Dear Senator Wheeler. With postage at the present price it
is a mild luxury to write to you at all. Our ass of a government
with 140 million Americans " behind it " has done nothing to protect
the American mail bag. With England the shopkeeper, England that
uses the blood etc/ of its citizens etc/ as " basis of bargaining "
anybody but a JEW run executive wd/ have bargained for freedom of
the seas at least to American mail. Roosevelt hasn't even proteced
the clipper mail at Berm da ( at least not so far as I know.)

The second point/ I have read a regulation that only those
foreigners are to be admitted to the U.S. who are deemed to be
useful etc/.. The dirtiest jews from Paris, Blum, ??Mandel, certain
the pimp Reynaud have gone or are going to the U.S. Some sense of hist-
ought to be aroused. These pimps for Hazard, Rothschild, Beit,
Sieff etc/ are all part of a pox. England rotted since 1694
; France since Necker took in his Swiss syphilis. Every country
where these swine have been allowed to set up a rule within
the rule, has been rotted. France has gone under. England's last
Poland. The forces that put that utterly utter Morgenthau into the
treasury will do the same to the U.S. unless stopped. England
is hog rotted/ condition of people etc/ you can't need my notes on
that / but I will pay by 9 lire the 5 grammi, if by any chance you
want 'em. Yr/ remarks a year ago re/ stuffed shirts have had
considerable emphasis since. If you haven't read Brooks Adams, read
him ( and save me postal expenses. ) If the repubs/ are feels, it
is up to YOU ( in person ) to do a job that no one else seems likely to
try. The timing is yr/ own. Nobody can fix it for you. Either you have
got to succeed the jew clique and its dupes in 1944. OR ( and a year
age I wdn't have preached it at you ), the supreme issue must be tackle
now. Four years more of rot/ 4 years more of gold buying at 15 dollars
too much per ounce ( HELL ! he has already put ten Millions of the
people's money into the pockets of the gold swine, and 4 billions of it
excess profits. ) four years more of this sort of thing; and they
may be still stronger, and yr/ chance of delivering the country GONE.

Damn it all my granddad split from his party for the sake of keeping Bla-
out of the white house... if anyone has been taught how dangerous it is
to split FROM a party, it is the undersigned... But if one party
is rotten, and the other headless... At any rate go on and educate.

Give 'em hell, and give 'em the NAMES of the compenens of the
"anque de France/ the Bank of England/ the press agencies/ whereinte Meyen
told the yidds to GET ( back in 1930 ). I don't remember having told you
of a talk I had with Berah( for what it is worth). At one point I said :
" Good God ! you don't mean they are worse than the other lot ( the dems)
He said slowly" No oh ! But I can't workwith 'em." Another illuminating
sentence of his was , to me " I'm sure I don't know what a man like you
wd/ HHH find to DO here ( Washington ). // Damn it/ with only 5
newspapers that are NOT ( or were then not ) run on borrowed money;
the idea of a free press is a farce, and the " seeereYus Cauthor " is
NOT in his habitat. No serious discussion is possible. "Can't you get
the senate put on the AIR ? at least a step toward popular
education that wd/ not be WHOLLY controlled by canned meat, jews , ladies
underwear ads/ wall gawd bless you.

The Sherman, Ikleheimer Rothschild correspondence and Hazard circular of 1863 ought to be in the SCHOOL BOOKS. People ought to know that the crime of 73 was a flea-bite along side the crime of 1863.

Silver in one sense distracted people from a deeper issue. Possibilities of COMMERCIAL SILVER never been seriously considered as alternative to coinage. People get SET ideas. Look at those damn frawgs, fer havin' their ideas SET and fixed ! ! !

American silver COULD be sold to german silversmiths IF silver were made sufficiently fashionable.

At any rate the U.S. should NOT be bitched as France has been and as England is in process of being makes no difference whether the central office and Hell Ltd. is in London or in New York.

The Hon

Burton .K. Wheeler, Washington

My Dear Senator

I trust you will get due credit for what you have done to keep young America from being slaughtered for Hazard, Hambro and Rothschild. I take it the danger is not wholly eliminated, but that if Germany moves fast enough it may be postponed 15 years.

All the filth that has worked for US to start the war appears to be concentrating in the U.S. and needs watching.

On INADEQUATE information ( no american news papers, only air mail) I take it that Farley and Garner were lesser evils , new by program removed for the moment. The great evil is Morgenthau, or the force that keeps it in office. WHEN is the public going to be TOLD efficiently that the U.S. was sold up the driver in 1863 by traitors and the agents of Rothschild and their gang ??? This is the cardinal fact of U.S. history. It was the start of ALL U.S. history of the past 77 years. Hon. James, Hon. Adams, the lot smelt a stink but never found out WHAT caused it , or at any rate never explained it to the( gawd ellup us ) cultured reader.

Foreign press don't yet knowankhead from his brother/ impossible to make out whether Senator or Speaker is meant by brief news items.

To keep war fever from rising again/ what about a little NEWS about German land laws, Bauerufabig, etc. U.S. errer after Jackson opened the land to settlers, was in NOT preventing it from being bought up and turned into latifundia.

Can the people understand that Germany and Italy represent democracy ( the REAL ) much more than a gang of refugee mortgage holders ? Has the pubk/ learned WHERE it gets its news ?? Leves, Neuter, ten more agencies ALL jew owned , Rothschild Lazard, etc.. England run by its FILTHIEST swine, as was France.

aNaturall ten billion toodled to gold sellers keeps farm population poor/ now the cream will go to gun sellers/ well, we CUGHT to be armed , but the people who pay TWO rents go to ruin, and are superceded by people who pay only one. ( ref. Brooks Adams fer further detail ).

I take ( on inadequate data + that the republican skirt isn't even stuffed ? Rip van Wendel, slept for 20 years , and NOT heard of new europe ?? ( or do I err ? ) Don't yet know who is vice-pres. nominee. Morgenthaler idea of corralling everything and starving the world is NOT very nice. Japs say three ply Monroe , well WHY NOT ?

Lending money to China don't spell peace. IF ( oh naiveté ) anybody wanted to help China, they wo/ give Japan the Philippines, but this don't sound popular to me. AND the principles of New Europe are not reflected in the jew drive to corner S.America. The RIGHT to keep out of debt ; is the basis of freedom. non-dumping is preb. the basis of peace.

with which pious sentiments, and best wishes

for more power to yr/ elbow, I remain

Have Lewis and the farm people ANY knowledge of money ?
Gawd knows yr/ OWN monetary views are not clear to me; but they
must be better than Morgenthau's, cant you push him out, while

you are goin strong/ we ought NOT to be governed by foreign influence
however tenuous, one place he shows up is the top of Uncle Sam's treasures.
