Monday, Aug. 11, 1941
Died. William Rhodes Davis, 52, the oil world's "mystery man" of World War ii; in Houston, Tex. In 1938 he fixed the barter deal which gave Germany and Italy some 20 million barrels of Mexican oil, some of it expropriated from U.S. and British oil companies, and in late 1939 he came back from Germany with a negotiated peace conference proposal.

......10. “Pryor telephoned Wilkie from Davis’s home and told him of the oilman’s willingness to pay for the Lewis broadcast. Wilkie wanted to immediately meet this mysterious man who would make an offer of such dimensions. Pryor used his private plane to fly Davis to meet with Wilkie, who was then at his home in Rushville, Indiana. After Davis repeated his offer to Wilkie in person, the Republican nominee pointed to the contribution limits of the federal election law and suggested that the money be given to various Wilkie clubs to maintain the legalities. Davis concluded the meeting by reiterating to Wilkie his offer to carry the cost of a nationwide radio speech by his friend John L. Lewis, who would publicly endorse Wilkie. [Italics are Mr. Emory’s.]” (Ibid.; p. 152.)
11. “Wilkie later said that he had never heard of Davis before being informed that Davis would sponsor the Lewis broadcast, and that he would have rejected the offer if he had known who Davis was. Wilkie’s profession of ignorance seems implausible, because by this time Davis’s Nazi connections had been widely publicized in the newspapers. Soon after the Lewis broadcast, Wilkie wrote Davis a letter asking Davis not to publicly endorse him because of the allegations that Davis had German connections.” (Idem.)
12. “Wilkie’s willingness to take Davis’s money puts a tarnish on Wilkie’s incorruptible image both because of Davis’s known Nazi connections and Wilkie’s early public insistence that the federal campaign finance laws be adhered to in the spirit as well as the letter of the law. When Wilkie was later asked if he was aware of Davis’s contributions to the Republican Party, Wilkie lied and said he never knew about these funds. These questionable actions show that Wilkie, like many politicians, was more interested in winning than in the morality of what he had to do to win.” (Idem.)
13. “At the conclusion of the Davis-Wilkie meeting, an arrangement was made for Wilkie to meet Lewis in New York on the night of September 28. To prepare for this meeting, Davis and Wehrle met with Pryor and several other Wilkie supporters, including Gene Tunney, the famous boxer, to discuss his support for Wilkie at New York’s Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Pryor wanted assurance that Lewis would endorse Wilkie. Davis said, ‘I’ll call Lewis and I think he is ready to make a pro-Wilkie statement.’ Davis telephoned Lewis and Lewis agreed to endorse Wilkie. Davis returned to the meeting and told Pryor of Lewis’s answer, and the Wilkie supporters left the meeting excited about the boost that Lewis endorsement would give Wilkie’s campaign. [Italics are Mr. Emory’s.]” (Idem.)
14. “Soon after, Lewis called Wilkie from Davis’s home in Scarsdale to confirm their upcoming meeting. Wilkie met with Lewis at the Manhattan apartment of Sam Pryor. Joe Martin, the national chairman of the Republican Party, was also present. Late into the night, Lewis and Wilkie engaged in a brisk conversation about their politics. [Italics are Mr. Emory’s.]” (Ibid.; pp. 152-153.)

.......19. “On October 21 Davis called the three radio networks to schedule the broadcast and identified himself as a personal representative of Lewis. He arranged for the payment of $55,000 for a thirty-minute radio broadcast in which John L. Lewis would deliver a speech on the national election to more than 362 stations on all three major radio networks. Davis also paid for the printing of millions of copies of Lewis’s speech to be distributed across the country after the broadcast.” (Ibid.; p. 155.)
http://books.google.com/books?id=xur...4gFQ#PPA559,M1
20. “Davis financed the Lewis broadcast by passing the money to the Democrats for Wilkie political committee, which included in its leadership such prominent anti-New Deal Democrats as former presidential candidates Al Smith and John W. Davis. This political committee then paid the radio networks for the broadcast. This indirect arrangement was used to get around the federal campaign finance laws and to hide the source of the contribution. There was a furious exchange of checks to ensure that no one individual would be listed as contributing more than the $5,000 limit of the federal campaign law, and Republican lawyers scanned all the transactions and scrutinized the checks to make sure there were no violations.” (Idem.)
21. “The White House was aware of who paid for Lewis’s broadcast almost immediately, but chose not to publicize the information until after the election. . . .” (Idem.)
22. “ . . . With an estimated 25-30 million listeners, Lewis delivered in his deep baritone voice a bitter attack on Roosevelt and asked trade unionists to oppose his reelection. He accused the president of not ending unemployment and of neglecting labor, but his most emphatic accusation was that he was leading the nation into war. What was the president’s objective, asked Lewis? ‘It is war. His every act leads to this inescapable conclusion. The President has said that he hates war and will work for peace but his acts do not match his words. The President has been scheming for years to involve us in war.’ Vehemently denouncing Roosevelt and asserting that his election could very well mean both war and dictatorship, Lewis declared for Wilkie.” (Ibid.; pp. 155-156.)
23. “He praised Wilkie’s integrity and described Wilkie as someone who was not an aristocrat but a common man. ‘He has the common touch. He was born in the briar and not to the purple. He has worked with his hands, and has known pangs of hunger.’ This description of Wilkie was pure fantasy and was intended for Lewis’ labor constituents. Lewis then reviewed the candidate’s promises and aims, including the promise that Wilkie would give labor full representation in his administration.” (Ibid.; p. 156.)
24. “Lewis concluded his speech with a dramatic pledge. He placed his personal prestige squarely on the line in support of the Republican nominee by vowing that if Roosevelt received a third presidential term he would consider it a vote of no confidence in his own leadership of the CIO. Therefore, he would resign from his position as president of the CIO if Roosevelt were reelected. He implored his followers: ‘Sustain me now or repudiate me.’” (Idem.)
25. The Davis/Nazi/GOP/Pryor stratagem was unsuccessful. “After the speech, Davis and Lewis waited expectantly for labor to move into the Wilkie camp. If the CIO vote were captured, it would ensure a Wilkie victory. However, virtually all of Lewis’s followers, whether they said so or not, were dismayed by his endorsement of Wilkie. The pro-Roosevelt faction in the CIO had hoped Lewis would limit himself to vigorous criticism of the president. What had been expected was a vitriolic attack on Roosevelt and a new ‘plague on both your houses.’ After his endorsement of Wilkie, Lewis pressured union officials to support his stand for Wilkie or resign. Several union officials resigned, including the head of labor’s Non-Partisan League, Gardner Jackson.” (Idem.)
26. “Jackson may have been referring to the Davis dealings in his letter of resignation: ‘These are critical days when, more than ever, men seem to become captives of their personal ambition for wealth, social position and influence, and when their adventures in power politics and in finance politics, both at home and in the international field, also make them captives.’ It is possible that Jackson’s resignation was closely tied to the Lewis-Davis link. Because the radio networks sent the bill for the broadcast to the Non-Partisan League, which then passed it on to the Democrats for Wilkie, it is likely that Jackson was aware of the source of funding for the broadcast and that he could not condone taking money from a Nazi sympathizer. . . .” (Idem.)
27. Another malefactor on the US political scene in the 1940’s was Attorney General Tom Clark—the father of Ramsey Clark, himself an Attorney General. (For more about Ramsey Clark, see—among other broadcasts—FTR#’s 350, 398, 401, 408, 433.) O. John Rogge—a Justice Department official who was investigated Nazi subversion in the U.S.—was working to expose the Third Reich’s links to U.S. industrialists, financiers and politicians. Among those he was working to expose were the figures who had conspired to defeat Roosevelt in 1940. (See above.) “The Rogge mission painstakingly scrutinized thousands of confidential documents from the files of the German War Ministry, Foreign Office, Propaganda Ministry, and Abwehr. Rogge later said, ‘Our investigation showed us that we had completely underestimated the scope and scale of Nazi activities in the United States. When I went to Germany I felt that the biggest threat to American democracy emanated from the machinations of persons like the defendants in the sedition trial [i.e. Fascist crackpots]. I found that a far more dangerous threat lay in the inter-connections between German and American industrialists, and that some of the best known names in America were involved in Nazi intrigue.’” (Ibid.; p. 206.)
http://books.google.com/books?id=vh7...lMTFbA#PPA6,M1
28. Tom Clark blocked the public release of the report. “When Rogge returned to Washington toward the end of June, he was confident that he had uncovered sufficient evidence to warrant federal prosecution of a number of Americans. Working at fever pitch, Rogge began preparing a comprehensive report to Attorney General Clark on the voluminous data he had collected in Germany. In early July, Rogge submitted to Clark a draft of the first section of his report.” (Idem.)
http://books.google.com/books?id=vh7...TFbA#PPA197,M1
29. “To Rogge’s surprise, the report’s references to links between the Germans and American business and political leaders clearly disturbed Clark. . . After reading the report, Clark declared that it could not possibly be published and would have to remain a secret document. Rogge was not happy with Clark’s proposal and asked that Clark hold off on a final decision until the report was completed. Rogge continued to work on the report through August. As he neared the end, one of Clark’s aides proposed that Rogge omit all names of American politicians and businessmen. Rogge refused.” (Idem.)
30. “By the time Rogge finished writing the report, he knew that the Department of Justice would never agree to publish his findings. Accordingly, he decided that he might as well put everything in the report regardless of whether it was politically expedient. The incendiary final recommendation of the report was for the Justice Department to begin an investigation of the collaboration between German and American industrialists before the war. On September 17, 1946, Rogge delivered his 396-page report to Attorney General Clark. As Rogge expected, Clark told him ‘the report would not be made public.’” (Idem.)
31. Rogge took a leave of absence to make a college speaking tour, on which he was able to successfully publicize some of the contents of the suppressed report. “ . . . Shortly afterward, Rogge obtained permission to take a two-week leave of absence to make a lecture tour on the fascist menace in the United States. Rogge told Attorney General Clark that he was going to make a speech on Nazi penetration of the United States. Rogge said Clark ‘asked me whether I would say that the department had not attempted to restrain me in any way. He again stated that my report was not going to be made public. I told him that I would not mention the report.’” (Ibid.; p. 207.)

ROGGE TIES LEWIS TO NAZIS IN POLITICS; Tells of Talks With Ribbentrop, Goering, Who Sought Defeat of Roosevelt in '36, '40, '44
Special to THE NEW YORK TIMES.
October 23, 1946, Wednesday
Page 8, 568 words
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22--A political science class at Swarthmore College tonight heard from O. John Rogge, special Assistant to the Attorney General, a detailed account of efforts which Hermann Goering, Joachim von Ribbentrop and other high Nazi officials say they made to defeat President Roosevelt for re-election in 1936, 1940 and 1944....

32. Rogge disclosed the 1940 plot to defeat Roosevelt: “But in a Swarthmore College speech, Rogge revealed to his college audience some of his report’s discoveries. He stated that Goering and Ribbentrop had told him that John L. Lewis, William Rhodes Davis, Senator Burton Wheeler, former vice president John Garner, former postmaster general James Farley, and former president Herbert Hoover had all conspired with the Germans in an attempt to defeat Roosevelt in 1940 and keep the United States out of the war. He also mentioned that Hertslet played a key role in the German scheme to prevent Roosevelt’s reelection in 1940.” (Idem.)

NAZI SCHEME TO DEFEAT FDR TOLD BY GOERING
Pay-Per-View - Los Angeles Times - ProQuest Archiver - Jul 8, 1946
A Nazi scheme to use a huge fund to try and defeat President Roosevelt in the 1940 election campaign was disclosed today by Asst. Atty. Gen. O. John Rogge.

33. Tom Clark fired Rogge!! Covering up fascist intrigue apparently runs in the family—Ramsey Clark (his son and also an Attorney General of the U.S.) helped to cover-up the assassinations of John and Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. He has represented Nazi war criminals, the fascist Lyndon Larouche, and Sheik Rahman among others. (Sheik Rahman is linked to al-Qaeda and the first plot against the World Trade Center.) Clark also lobbied against the establishment of the Office of Special Investigations—the Justice Department unit encharged with ferreting out Nazi war criminals living in the U.S. (This unit was headed by John Loftus.) “On the morning of October 25, Rogge left New York by plane for a speaking engagement in Seattle, Washington. Due to bad weather, the plane made an unscheduled stop in Spokane. At the airport Rogge was informed that there was no room for him on the next leg of the flight. Stuck in Spokane, he was told that a Mr. Savage was on his way to the airport to see him. Soon afterward, a man approached Rogge at the airport and said, ‘My name’s Savage, I’m from the Federal Bureau of Investigation.’ He handed Rogge an envelope. The envelope contained a letter to Rogge from Attorney General Clark. The letter curtly notified Rogge that he was dismissed from the Justice Department immediately. Clearly, the FBI had been following Rogge and had arranged to keep him in Spokane so that he could be handed his termination letter. Attorney General Clark wanted Rogge’s authority as a federal official stripped away before he could speak at another college.” (Ibid.; pp. 207-208.)

So what we have here is a followup to the PTB thread, where it was shown that the father of this Wendell Wilkie campaign manager, Sam F. Pryor Jr., was Samuel F. Pryor Sr., business partner of both Bush grandfathers, and director of Remington Arms-Union Metallic Cartridge, largest small arms and ammunition manufacturer in the uS, whose manufacturing operations were directly overseen by Samuel P. Bush. Pryor Sr. purchased Jupiter Island, where the Bushes have lived in winter, since the 1930's. Smedley Butler testified that ammunition would be supplied by Remington for the fascist coup he war asked by bond saleman, Gerald Mcguire to lead in 1934.
Samuel F. Pryor Sr. was a founding director of both the Harriman/Bush Hamburg-Amerika shipping line, and of Union Bank (UBC), seized by the Alien property custodian, in 1943, when Prescott Bush and E. Roland Harriman were directors and stockholders....
An added intricacy is that Hermann Goering claimed, just before his own death, that William Rhodes Davis was instructed by Goering and Ribbentrop to fuse Nazi financing, if possible to defeat Roosevelt in the 1940 election, and the assistant Atty. General who revealed that, was fired by Attorney General Tom Clark (father of Ramsey Clark) for revealing these details from his report.
The O. John Rogge report was not made public until 1961:
http://books.google.com/books?id=82o...zi+1961&pgis=1
I am thinking that this story of murder and Nazi influenced political intrigue was suppressed, because it is true. I would be especially interested in your reaction, especially to the campaign financing of the Wilkie campaign and the implications it had for later house speaker, Joe Martin.
I'm making an extra effort, since it is campaign time, to support my suspicion that it doesn't matter much, which major party presidential candidate you vote for, because they both are vetted by this cabal that actually runs things. The ones with the power to suppress what is in this thread, all the way back to Smedley Butler's 1934 Dickstein McCormack committee testimony, and even before that, back to the decade before WWI when the major US industrialized made their pacts with the German Dye Trust, et al.
