...Pierpont . . . did not lend any money on [a] second shipment of carbines.' Lewis Corey, in The House of Morgan (1930) quotes the Reports of the House of Representatives to show that Morgan filed a bill with the Government for 58,175 for a second batch of carbines, a claim on which an investigating committee later allowed him $11,008." Mr. Corey misled your reviewer. Morgan never filed any bill with anyone, or made any claim against the Government. No committee, commission or court ever said that he did.

Ketchum testified that Morgan "refused to allow the others to go until he received the money for the first shipment" (House Reports...
...mail from the American Clipper as it landed in Bermuda. Explained a spokesman of the Ministry of Economic Warfare in London: "If it was generally known that we were not examining the mails, they would prove first-class methods of smuggling contraband into Germany." British claim was that of 25,000 packages examined in three months, 17,000 did contain "contraband"; besides food and food orders, cash was being sent in Argentine pesos, Swedish kroner, other foreign currency, to bolster Germany's dwindling supply of foreign exchange; also diamonds, pearls, and maps of "potential military value...
