Hoover was able to call upon Gen. Pershing to provide<br />

hundreds <strong>of</strong> Army <strong>of</strong>ficers to aid him in his quest. In his<br />

"Foreword to The Special Collection <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Hoover<br />

Library", Hoover says that he recruited 1500 <strong>of</strong>ficers from<br />

<strong>the</strong> American Army, and <strong>the</strong> Supreme Economic Council,<br />

and sent <strong>the</strong>m to all parts <strong>of</strong> Europe. The New York<br />

Times Feb. 5, 1921 says that Hoover had as many as<br />

4000 agents in Europe, going from country to country to<br />

Stanford, had presented <strong>the</strong> school with a collection <strong>of</strong><br />

375,000 volumes. It included <strong>the</strong> most valuable collection<br />

<strong>of</strong> secret Bolshevik records in existence, among <strong>the</strong>m,<br />

<strong>the</strong> lists <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> original district Soviets, which had been<br />

bought from a doorkeeper for $200. The Times noted<br />

that <strong>the</strong> Soviet Government had no copies <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se rare<br />

archives! Times, June 30, 1941, noted that <strong>the</strong><br />

Bolsheviks had allowed Hoover to remove 25 carloads <strong>of</strong><br />

material, at a time when Russian refugees were
