Throttled! The Detection of the German and Anarchist Bomb Plotters
Tunney, Thomas J. (Thomas Joseph)
World War, 1914-1918 -- Secret service -- Germany
We have succeeded in laying foundation
for _future work_. Our _work_ in _Japan_ has been unique. Even
_Lajpat Rai_ who slights our _work_, quite often admits in
three months more _solid work_ done there than any other part
of the world outside _India_ in number of years. I understand
_Chakravarty_ has charge of affairs. Met him. _Tarak Harish_
says he was given instruction to form a _committee_ of five
including _myself_. He did not agree. Said all depended on his
discretion. Fact is he has grudge against me and the fault lies
with _you_. Report went to _Berlin_ concerning his _relations_
with _Mrs. Warren_. You told him I did it. I did not. Even if
I did you had no business to mention my name. I like also to
know how did the _committee_ satisfy itself as to the charge
being false. From _Chakravarty’s letters_ only? He wanted me
to _apologize_. I did not: will not. First I did not _report_;
secondly suppose I did, in the interest of the _cause_. I was
of opinion he had _connection with Mrs. Warren_. She came to
know many things about _work_ through _him_. Am still of same
opinion. I do not care how many _women man enjoys_ but he has
no right to talk about serious _work to women_. I do not know
what _work he_ doing. Does not give me any information. The
_house_ he took with _princely furniture_ shows at once _German
connection_. Some of his _pamphlets_ nothing but _German
propaganda_. It may be your _policy_. We have _centres in
Japan, Burmah, Manila_; regular _communication_ with _India_
through _Japanese_ sources. _Working_ but badly _in need of
funds_. Started _work_ with impression _balance of funds
credited_ to my _account_ would be forthcoming but no sign of
it. For better _work_ need send at least one more _man_ to
_Japan_. _Tarak_ going _China, Chakravarty_ told him his
men would _watch Tarak_ for a month. If behaves well will be
helped, given facilities. What _grand diplomacy! Chakravarty_
told me _committee_ not sure of _Tarak_ so sent him away.
_Tarak_ said large _funds_ have been sanctioned. He can draw
without receipt. Will you blame me (if this be true) if I fail
to understand the policy? _Ram Chandra working_ in his own
way. I did not interfere for _fear_ of creating divisions.
Only helped getting _funds_. Have now influence over him but
as _Chakravarty gone San Francisco_ I consider my duty keep
quiet until hear from you. Have _worked_ to best abilities and
shall work but cannot do so at the instance of people who I am
sure do not know the exact nature of work _done last year_ and
_half_. Am surprised at _mean jealousies_, even sacrificing
_work_. Am shocked at your _faith shaken in me_ and _my work_.
Hope to hear soon all regarding _work_. Remember me to all.
Did not mail the first letter as waiting for information from
_Berlin_.”
