1)
4 page letter
which refers to Mr. Colbys New York American article of June 17
th
1932. Mr. Sack in this signed 4 page letter extends his congratulations to Mr. Colby for his article. The letter itself is an extensive look into Mr. Sacks opinions of the times in reference to the gpeople..h as opposed to or in reference with the Government as it was during this period of time.
Mr. Colby extends in his carbon reply an invitation
to have Mr. Sack lunch with him at his convenience. He speaks of the so called constructive solutions to the issues with the Russian problem. He references that if the gso called capitalist nations..h could be compelled to deal with their own issues that perhaps they could offer help to the Russian situation. He also quite overtly states that there is a gstrange gendeavor to glorify the lack of leadership as a truly democratic approach to the solution of problems upon which the fate of our civilization dependsch (so reflective of todayfs anarchy in the GOP and Democratic parties still today!! He so clearly reflects the issues of the gpassivity of the government in the face of human misery crying to heaven, is portrayed as a democratic virtue, and that the people themselves are somehow expected to solve a problem in which the individual is hopelessch Again such a reflective notion so aptly applied easily to todayfs world issues. He explains that the gravity of problems besieging our civilization today, but the lack of a decisive policy in meeting and handling them..h He mentions an article he served to Yale University on the topic as his only pessimistic article I have ever written in my life He describes his incorrigible optimism that the instinct of self –preservation will reassert itself. In the eleventh hour  Again today we find ourselves indeed the world both financially and politically within this same eleventh hour..h. He mentions the Bolshevism thought and how the world thought it would last only weeks but by this time was in its 14
th
year. He also speaks of WW1 and of the billions spent in gwasteful expenditures..h. He states that Bolshevism finds its strength in gproportion with the fallacy and weakness of the civilization it attacks and to work out a constructive solution being faced since WW1. He speaks of the only way to means to gdefeat Bolshevism is by demonstration that the nations living under democratic institutions and capitalist economics are in position to insure the masses at least the necessities of lifech. He explains in poetic ease that gevery one of these millions is a potential sore on the body and soul of our civilization He then states that gstatesmen of today should understand that where millions of such sores are permitted to exist, a dangerous infection is possible at any moment.h My god how these words just mirror todays world. Mr. Sack states that Mr. Colbys gadmiral plan evolved by Mr. Hearst is a contribution for which not only this country, but the world at large, should be grateful to you .
Mr. Colby carbon replies
to Mr. Sack stating that his thought is gpenetrating, realistic and restrained in expression. Scans 1-6.

2 page letter signed by Mr. Sack
– letter dated Sept. 14 1932- This week we in Hawaii are supporting the APEC meeting od worldwide leaders and just coincidentally this letter from 1932 actually envisions a similar large meeting of leaders of finance and Government engaging in conversations dealing with both political and economic situations worldwide. Mr. Sack talks of the pleasant conversation they had the day before and that Mr. Silas H. Strawn being president of the United States Chamber of Commerce. He speaks of setting up a travelling exhibition of American industries in a large and impressive scale in cooperation with the government, industrial and commercial agencies. He expresses his satisfaction that Mr. Colby finds a sympathetic ear to such an endeavor. He wishs to discuss further with Mr. Colby and other prominent men/woman on these topics and possibilities. He states that he and his supporters are willing to cover up to ,000.00 in expenditures on such endeavors. And of his hopes to involve several hundred prominent firms in such endeavors. His intent is to take this message to at least twenty international ports that upcoming year. He states that this sort of project should be of great interest to American firms interested in foreign markets (just as today we are hoping to do) He states he feels that this project on a large scale should be feasible.

) 2 page letter signed by A.J. Sack
. Dated Sept.22 1932. Involves pleasant conversation with Mr. Griffith? About the proposal of the project mentioned in # 2 letters above and his serious interest. He thanks Mr. Colby for his introduction to Mr. Griffith who has introduced him to a man (Mr. F. W. Ridgway of International Mercantile Marine Co. who is preparing an estimate for such a chartering of a suitable ship to accommodate such an endeavor. And the costs for remodeling it and operational costs for a year. He says after the meetings he will contact Mr. Colby with the details. He speaks of a General A. Denikine and a Col. A. M. Nicholaeff whom he is working with. General Denikine was a commander of the Russian army during WW1 and later in 1918 and 19 after the deaths of Gen. Korniloff and Gen Alexieff he became the Commander in chief of the Russian Voluntary Army. He wrote a four volumes after the Russian revolution titled THE WHITE ARMY. He states he is writing the general about Mr. Colbys kind attitude towards his work. Scans 8 & 9

2 page letter signed by Mr. Sack.
Dated September 27 1932. Letter involves the Russian nation and recent discussions between himself and Col. A.M. Nicholaeff ( military attaché at Wash. D.C.) regarding General A.I. Denikine. The letter details who the General was. Born in 1872 he gained prominence during the Russo-Japanese war as a Cavalry commander under General Brussilov. He later gained fame as the Commander of the famous IRON DIVISION. He is noted as having captured 64,000 prisoners. In 1917 after the Bolshevist coup-dfétat he founded the Volunteer army and after Gen. Korniloffs death he became the Commander-in-chief of the United Bolshevist armed forces. He basically is trying to introduce to the American public the 4 books that had been written by General Denikine called the White Army..

2 page letter signed by Mr. Sack,
dated September 30 1932. Again speaking of the project that he is working on in regards to the Russian & Bolshevist revolution and growing influence on world and American democracies. He tanks Mr. Colby for his generous time and great knowledge. He especially expresses his view that the Russian situations in reference to this project is and should be treated as a Global economic sphere and in this letter copies forward to Mr. Colby a recent statement given by Gov. Roosevelt in Sioux City Iowa, he as well reports to Mr. Colby another recent article written by Sir Arthur Salter which in general terms was in agreement with the Governors speech. He notes that statements ofthis sort were being seen very often lately and that it shows that their project is indeed of great importance and should meet with approval and cooperation in all important quarters I think it is very interesting and timely to note that Mr. Sack mentions that the WORLD must start viewing the times as a whole and not as individual situations.
6)
4 page letter signed by Mr. Sack
dated October 4 1932. Again referencing Mr. Griffith and his reviewing of the project. and states that the project if properly executed, may mark a new and important page in the history of American relations with the outside world.h He takes note that with the proper association with multiple American organizations that just as the Prince of Wales is the salesman for the British empire.. That the Ship carrying this project will send g forth a message of good-will and create a much better atmosphere for American industry throughout the world.  Again these documents are so very spooky in the effect that they seem to be the exact situation in which America and the free world finds itself in today as far as economics and political chaos. Mr Sacks offers his size of this worldwide exhibit to be in the size of a ship which can carry u to 400 representatives with 400 exhibits in containers each 10fX10f and run at a cost of approximately 0,000.00 a year, but he as well questions if it can either equal or possibly create a excess in the form of a profit. He states that his intended
name for said project be THE AMERICAN FOREIGN TRADE & DIPLOMATIC SERVICE INSTITUTE..He speaks of its faculty consisting of multiple professors with areas of expertise such as to offer courses in International Law, Commercial law, Maritime Law, Political & Commercial Geography, American Government & Institutions, Foreign relations, History of Europe since the 19
th
century, History of Russia since 1860, History of the Far East and of Latin America. He states that lectures would be given in multiple languages such as French, Russian, English and Spanish and suggests that each graduate with a diploma be helped (facilitated) by the U.S. Diplomatic & Consular Service with visas if they have secured connections with private firms involved in foreign matters. He states that it is his belief that this sailing university should indeed not only facilitate friendship with other nations but also should be a very profitable enterprise. He notes that because this enterprise would be sanctioned by the U.S. that it would be a great asset in future foreign affairs matters worldwide. Mr. Sacks in order to show the feasibility and the potential for great financial proceeds and profits details in short the costs per student and per exhibit that after adding up totals out to be ,150,000.00 He then estimates using a failure margin of 30% that revenues should give net revenues of greater than 0,000.00 per year and that Mr. Griffith and he both find this number practical. He mentions that possibly the President of the United States could offer support by way of an address at the opening of the ships maiden voyage. He states that the arrival in every port will be a great representation of commercial potential and will find a welcome by that nations leading ambassadors, consuls, etc. Mr. Sacks is very open and sincere after reading this series of correspondences that he knows that the future of the project has a lot to do with the support and interest shown by such a gentleman as Mr. Colby.

1 page signed letter
dated Oct. 5 1932. Letter again in reference to his proposed
sailing university and his dealings with Mr. Griffith. This letter states that he and
Mr. Griffith are in the final stages of completing the data and is requesting in
advance an interview with Mr. Colby. He mentions that prominent American
industrial and financial leaders would be desired to have on board. He mentions a
report from the week before in reference to Mr. James A. Farrell. Again he
impresses that he feels his project is a timely and advantageous proposition at the
time in America and the world. He again issues his gratitude for Mr. Colbys
advice
and guidance. (Sadly however the carbon replies to all this series of letters is not
found in the collection)

2 page signed letter
dated November 9 1932. Letter references and congratulates Mr. Colby on the
splendid victory which the progressive forces in this country have won yesterday
at the polls.  He states his knowledge of Mr. Colbys work in reference to the party
and states that it will mark a new and a most promising page in American and
world history.  He brings up Mr. Colbys sharp and uncompromising criticism
of the Hawley-Smoot tariff.  He states that he sees that the Democratic victory
will create a new attitude in Americas International relationships. He notes that in
the world since the decision that an economic war has existed. He VERY
sincerely states that the REPUBLICAN PARTY AGAINST THE REST OF
MANKIND..has actually started this situation. He states that he feels it is time
to reverse this policy by expanding the spirit of friendship and mutual
cooperation to the world, and in this respect the project which we have in view
should prove of momentous interest to this country and the rest of humanity. I sit
amazed as I read these words from the 1930s and how directly the relate to the
situation we have worldwide today as well as the dark and salacious nature with
which the Republican party has once again set its nature and sights upon reliving
without even the simplest of reminiscing upon the facts that this area of world
chaos has indeed been ventured into before and instead of learning from the pasts
errors in judgment and bullheadedness they are blindly stepping forth on the same
thin ice which led our nation (and the world) into a void which does not as much
affect the rich right but instead falls to rest upon the shoulders of the men and
woman who in these times can least afford the frivolities and grandiose schemes
meant to protect the fortunes of those who are already the sons of fortunate men.
And will continue to be regardless of their folly and of their ineptness at the game
of chess which they apparently feel they can lay upon the feet of those people
whom their fathers and themselves have reaped such grand harvests in their
endeavors to garner support by false smiles and insincere promises ( of course this
is only one mans viewpoint, but I might be self-righteous enough to say that I
believe that in these words that the 99% may actually follow my thoughts with
more interests than to follow those who giggle as they forget the very 3 principles
that they adhere to as statesmen who are trying to get our votes in the next
election.)
(Historical note- Mr. Sack was an author whose area of interest apparently was the
relationship that Russia was developing with the world in particular with the
U.S.A.

Up for auction are the items shown in the scans. The Honorable Bainbridge Colby- (Woodrow Wilsons last Secretary of State and Mark Twains lawyer, as well as the man who ratified the 19th amendment which gave woman the right to vote !!!, I have seen on the net that Mr. Colbys autograph alone has sold for between .00 and .00. And since carbon relies of the era did not come with signatures I have decided to add a check and signature so as to add a direct provenance to your acquisition. . He was a gentleman who helped shape the U.S. Political foreign affairs during the 1920's - 1940's. I grew up in his hometown and the caretaker for the family estate called Little Brook Farm, at Sunset Bay, near Bemus Point. The Colby family farms caretaker after Mr. Colby’s death in 1950 and Mrs. Colby’s death in 1963 was my Sunday school teacher (Mr Sydney Taylor) in the Maple Springs Interdenominational church from when I moved there in 1964 until his death in 1967. Us kids would walk Mr. Taylor home several miles each Sunday after church through the beautiful woods that later became Long State Park after Mr. Taylor passed away and we would help him in his duties of cleaning up the property and my father would haul the truckloads of junk we piled up every few weeks to the Ellery Center Dump which is when I kept a couple small boxes of the stuff and carried around until I began to research it this past two years. I just kick myself now realizing that we must have thrown away several tons of paperwork and old books that were most probably filled with original mark Twain items and other significant words of men and woman’s gifts, books, manuscripts that today would be a treasure of Americana history. I just thank God that Mr. Taylor told me to save the little bit.
