director of the Bank of England, and the Anglo
International Bank; S. Loewe, the German arms
magnate, Loewe & Co.; Sir Vincent Caillard, President of
the Ottoman Debt Council, financial expert on the Near
East; and Sir Basil Zaharoff, the "mystery man of
Europe".
The highwater mark of "the merchants of death" hoax
was reached in the Nye Committee Hearings of 1934,
copies of which are invariably missing in government
libraries. Alger Hiss was investigator and counsel for the
Committee. Typical was Chairman Nye's questioning of
Mr. Carse of the Electric Boat Co. (a subsidiary of
Vickers):
Chairman NYE: In 1917, Mr. Carse, you drafted a letter to help Zaharoff
avoid paying income tax on your commissions to him of $766,852. There is
Exhibit 24, a letter dated Sept. 21, 1917, addressed to Mr. H.C. Sheridan,
Washington, D.C. Who is Mr. Sheridan, Mr. Carse ?
CARSE: He owns the Hotel Washington. At that time he was the agent of
Vickers Ltd. in this country, and he was also a representative of Zaharoff. Mr
Sheridan handled Mr. Zaharoff's income tax with White and Case.
CHMN: Did you know that this was false, that this omission of a million
dollars referred to was actually Sir Basil Zaharoff's income ?
CARSE: No, I did not know anything about Zaharoff's income.
CHMN: But you have told us that a letter by Zaharoff six weeks earlier that
82,000 francs he received was his own personal income.
CARSE: I do not know what Zaharoff did in his business. He did not tell me.
CHMN: Did Zaharoff succeed in escaping the payment of income tax to the
United States ?
