Background

Frank Marshall Davis was born in Arkansas City, Kansas December 31, 1905. Davis reported he had nine years

of elementary school, five years of high school, one year at Friends University, Wichita Kansaas, three and half

years at Kansas State College, Manhattan, Kansas, from September 1924 to February 1927, and from September

1929 to June 1930, studying journalism.

After College Davis went to Atlanta, Georgia and became Managing Editor of the Atlanta Daily World in 1931.

Davis became interested in the Communist party in 1931 during the Scottsboro case.[3] In 1934, he again moved

to Chicago, where he served as Executive Editor of Claude Barnett's Associated Negro Press from

1935-1947.[4]

In 1936 Davis was listed as a contributing editor to the Spokesman, the official organ of the Youth

Section of the National Negro Congress, a Communist front organization.[5] Davis was regarded as a primary

outlet of CPUSA "for the distribution of news and propaganda which the CPA wishes to get out to the Negro

people. As Executive Editor of the Associated Negro Press Davis is in a position to determine what news

releases shall be made by the Associated Negro Press to the various numbers of newspapers to whom it supplies

1 of 13

news." Davis also was the Executive Editor of the communist publication the Chicago Star.[6]

His poetry and writings became popular during the Harlem Renaissance and during the African American Arts

Movement in the 1960s and 1970s.[7]

Davis met Langston Hughes, Richard Wright, and other leading black

writers while participating in the federal Works Progress Administration Writers' Project and other

organizations.[8]

Nazi-Soviet Pact

The Nazi-Soviet Pact of 1939 presented the most troubling dilemma for American Communists. It came on the

heels of the bloody anti-Trotskyite Great Purges in which many CPUSA members quit the party with

apprehension and fear over what the Party had become. Those who remained during the purges were, for the

most part, dedicated anti-fascists. However, with the coming of the Communazi era wherein German Chancellor

Adolf Hitler became an ally of the Soviet Union against French and British Imperialism, only the most ardent

Stalinists continued in the party who were willing to overlook, and justify, Stalin's murderous excesses. Among

them were Frank Marshall Davis.

On June 22, 1941, Soviet policy was rather abruptly forced to change, and CPUSA policy changed likewise;

from "The Yanks Are Not Coming!" to "The Yanks Are Not Coming Too Late!" shows how shallow and trivial

the subsequent CPUSA devotion to the war effort was. Dated June 20, 1941, it

Soviet instructions called for unflinching opposition to the U.S. defense effort.[9] Davis became an articulate

opponent of President Franklin Roosevelt's policy of Lend Lease aid to Great Britain. Speaking to an audience

of the communist front National Negro Congress in 1940, Davis said,

“Negroes and the whole American people are being called upon to 'sacrifice for national defense.'

Our country may soon be actively engaged in another war. Facing this crisis, the people are

forced to think and to act lest, under the wave of war hysteria, they be bludgeoned into

situations against their best interest.[10] ”

Roosevelt was known among communists at this time as an "imperialist war-monger"[11]

and "Franklin

Demagogue Roosevelt," but when Hitler turned on his ally and attacked the Soviet Union, American

Communists echoed new dictates of the Kremlin by abandoning isolationism overnight and supporting Lend

Lease.[12]

Communist activities in Chicago

Jarrett

Davis was involved in Chicago's South Side Community Art Center, "a meeting place for young African

American writers and artists during the 1940s".[14]

An outgrowth of the New Deal Federal Art Project, the Art

Center was a hangout for the "Culture Group,"[15]

a circle of Communist Party members and sympathisers

including Richard Wright, Margaret Burroughs, Marion Perkins and Arna Bontemps. Another center regular was

a young journalist named Vernon Jarrett. Davis and Jarrett worked together on the black run newspaper, the

Chicago Defender.[16]

Even throughout World War II, when the CPUSA "soft-pedaled" the fight against racism

the editorial policies of the Defender were virtually indistinguishable from those of the Daily Worker.[17]

when questions about his mental

capacity arose; he ran against his

replacement, Harry S. Truman with

strong CPUSA backing in 1948. Vernon

Jarrett (right) had high praise for

Barack Obama's communitiy organizing

during a 1992 event sponsored by the

Chicago Defender.[13] Jarrett's

daughter-in-law, Valerie Jarrett, is the

Bridges

According to Davis he met CPUSA Central Committeeman Harry

Bridges in 1945 while on the faculty of the Abraham Lincoln

School[18]

in Chicago, cited as a subversive organization by U.S.

Attorney General Tom Clark[19]

and again under Executive Order

10450.[20][21]

Davis was associated with several other organizations

on the Attorney General's List of Totalitarian, Fascist, Communist,

Subversive, and Other Organizations including the American Youth

for Democracy, National Federation for Constitutional Liberties,

League of American Writers,[22]

and the National Negro Congress,

according to the Reports of the Commission on Subversive Activities

of the Territory of Hawaii.

Davis, like Nathan Gregory Silvermaster, was in the FBI's security

index, meaning he could be arrested and detained in the event of a

national emergency.

Robeson

Davis stated singer Paul

Robeson, a secret

communist, was

instrumental in helping

Davis move to Hawaii.[23]

Robeson and Davis both

were active in the Civil

Rights Congress[24][25]

and other subversive groups.[26]

Robeson

invoked the Fifth Amendment when asked if he had known Nathan

Gregory Silvermaster, Leon Josephson, Louise Bransten or Gregory

Kheifits.[27]

Greg Silvermaster was the head of an extraordinarily

large apparatus[28]

of Roosevelt Brain Trusters working for the KGB.

Robeson also invoked the Fifth Amendment when asked if he had

ever been in the home of Louise Bransten. It was in the home of

Bransten that Bransten's lover, West Coast KGB Station Chief

Gregory Kheifits, met another unlisted[29]

member of the communist

party, J. Robert Oppenheimer head of the Manhattan project, who

agreed to share information with the KGB.[30]

Communist activities in Hawaii

ILWU

Upon Davis's assignment to Hawaii he met with ILWU regional director Jack Hall,[31][32][33]

convicted under

the Smith Act for conspiracy to overthrow the United States Government. The ILWU controlled the Honolulu

Record[34][35]

and the ILWU Book Club. Among the authors made available through the ILWU Book Club

3 of 13

were Saul Alinsky, Howard Fast, Philip S. Foner, Carl Marzani and Victor Perlo.

Marzani, like Ariyoshi, was a KGB agent working in the Office of Strategic Services during World War II. Victor

Perlo headed the notorious Perlo group[36]

of which the full extent of damage done to American national

security may never be known. Perlo's book, American Imperialism,[37]

offered through the ILWU Book Club,

was used for brainwashing American prisoners of war in North Korean reeducation camps. Perlo always denied

being a communist, claiming he had only been "helping in my humble way to carry out the great New Deal

program under the leadership of Franklin D. Roosevelt"[38]

until 1981 when he was appointed to the CPUSA

Politburo and openly criticized CPSU General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev and Russian President Boris Yeltsin

for betraying Stalinism.[39][40][41]

Hawaii NAACP charter revoked

The Senate Internal Security Subcommittee (SISS) published a report in 1955 entitled, The Communist Party,

USA — What It Is — How It Works.[42]

The study intended to differentiate the CPUSA from "bona fide"

political parties after the Subversive Activities Control Act proscribed into law the following:

“The Congress finds and declares that the Communist Party of the United States, although

purportedly a political party, is in fact an instrumentality of a conspiracy to overthrow the

Government of the United States...the policies and programs of the Communist Party are

secretly prescribed for it by the foreign leaders...members of the Communist Party are recruited

for indoctrination with respect to its objectives and methods, and are organized, instructed, and

disciplined to carry into action slavishly the assignments given them....Its role as the agency of a

hostile foreign power renders its existence a clear present and continuing danger to the security

of the United States. It is the means whereby individuals are seduced into the service of the

world Communist movement, trained to do its bidding, and directed and controlled in the

conspiratorial performance of their revolutionary services.[43] ”

Without going into detailed analysis of Communist activity in the labor movement, among African-Americans,

women, youth, foreign language groups, or in front organizations the SISS report described a fundamental

CPUSA strategy of infiltration and subversion using divisiveness:

“it thrives upon promoting clashes: Between employer and employee, landlord and tenant, white

and Negro, native-born and foreigner, Catholic, Protestant and Jew; between the American

people and their Government, and within every non-Communist organization.”

Davis discusses his move to Hawaii in late 1948 in his memoir,

“I had also talked with Paul Robeson who the previous year had appeared there in a series of

concerts sponsored by the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union (ILWU),

the most powerful labor organization in the territory.... I also wrote to Harry Bridges, head of the

ILWU, whom I had met at Lincoln School. He suggested I get in touch with Koji Ariyoshi, editor

of the Honolulu Record, a newspaper that was generally similar to the Chicago Star."[44] ”

Robeson, Bridges[45]

and Ariyoshi were all Communist party operatives. Davis was given a regular weekly

column in the Honolulu Record entitled "Frankly Speaking." When Davis' column first appeared in May 1949,

the Record boasted he was a member of the national executive board of the Civil Rights Congress, cited as a

Communist subversive organization by Truman Attorney General Tom Clark. Under the sponsorship of the Civil

Honolulu Record editor Koji Ariyoshi

with Chinese Communist Party

chairman Mao Zedong. According to

Prof. R.J. Rummel, 38,702,000 persons

were murder victims of Chinese

Communist democide.[47]

Rights Congress, Davis signed a statement in defense of Gerhart Eisler, the notorious Comintern agent who

escaped jail for passport fraud by fleeing to East Germany.

Edward Berman of the local chapter of the NAACP sent a letter in 1949 to the acting National Secretary of the

NAACP, Roy Wilkins, stating

“I was at one of the election meetings at which one Frank Marshall Davis, formerly of Chicago

(and formerly editor of the Chicago Communist paper, the Star) suddenly appeared on the scene

to propagandize the membership about our 'racial problems' in Hawaii. He had just sneaked in

here on a boat, and presto, was an 'expert' on racial problems in Hawaii. Comrade Davis was

supported by others who had recently 'sneaked' into the organization with the avowed intent and

purpose of converting it into a front for the Stalinist line….

They create a mythical racial problem here. They agitate with the same fervor that the

Communist press does on the mainland. The result is discord and distrust, not unity.

…Already, scores of Negro members were frightened away from these meetings because of the

influx of this element. Only by a reorganization with a policy that will check this infiltration, can

we hope to get former members back into a local NAACP branch. We are going to have to have

that authority over here―otherwise you’ll have a branch exclusively composed of yelping

Stalinists and their dupes―characters who are more concerned about the speedy assassination of

Tito than they are about the advancement of the colored people of these United States."[46] ”

The national NAACP acted by revoking the local Hawaiian chapter of the NAACP's charter to prevent

Communists from taking over the organization.

Honolulu Record

During April of 1951, a national convention of the ILWU was held

in Honolulu. This convention was attended by Al Richmond, editor

of the Daily People's World and chairman of the press commission

of District 13 of the Communist Party USA. Richmond attended

meetings of the executive board where the policy of the Honolulu

Record, as an agitational outlet of the policy of the Communist

Party was discussed. Policy lines were set down by the executive

board in regard to the Record policy. The editorial policies of the

Record editor, Koji Ariyoshi, came under fire by Richmond in that

Richmond criticized Ariyoshi's policies as being deviationist. In

particular, Ariyoshi was criticized for not giving the biggest issue of

the current Communist line, the so-called "peace line" during the

early Cold War, proper emphasis in the Record.

A former official of the Communist Party of Hawaii stated under

oath,

“It is interesting to note that up until this time the

issue of peace was only pushed by Frank Marshall

Davis in his regular Record column. Increased

emphasis was given the peace line by the Record ”

5 of 13

generally, since.

Davis was an outspoken proponent of the Soviet sponsored Stockholm Peace Petition.[48] The 1957 SISS report

noted,

“Strong ties between the Honolulu Record and Communist China have become increasingly

apparent....the editorial policy of the Record regarding the United States position on the Orient

has been simply a paraphrasing of the Moscow and Peiping views on the subject.”

Communists infiltrate the Democratic party

In 1950, the Hawaiian Communist Party went underground. Quoting Robert M. Kempa, a communist party

informant who agreed to cooperate with government investigators, an FBI memo states,

“In 1950 after the Communist Party had conducted a series of control interviews. Dwight James

Freeman known to me as a Communist Party Organizer, told me that the Party was being

reorganized and was going underground. Freeman explained to me that the Party was being

broken down into 'Groups of 3's' and that I was being made chairman of Group #6 and in

addition given the assignment of being contact man for my own group and four other groups.

Freeman advised me that Chairman of Group #10 was Frank Marshall Davis and I was to

contact him ....

Late in the fall of 1950, I started contacting Frank Marshall Davis in connection with

Communist Party matters, and relaying to him information received from my superior contact in

the Communist Party, either James Freeman or [redacted].

During a portion of 1950, 1951 and part of 1952, I continued contacting Frank Marshall Davis

and also transmitted dues for the Communist Party received from him to my contact above.

During the period of my contacts with Frank Marshall Davis, he advised me that his wife, Helen

was a member of Group #10. I was never advised of the identity of a third of that group, or the

fact that there was a third member in the group. During a portion of 1951 [redacted] took over

contacts with the Davis group but I resumed contacting Davis in 1952 and continued meeting

him on Communist Party matters until I left the Party in June of that year."[49] ”

A 1950 memo reports that members of the subversive element in Honolulu were

“concentrating their efforts on infiltration of the Democratic party through control of Precinct

Clubs and organizations. He said they were spending considerable time urging support for their

candidates in these Precinct Club elections. In this regard, he noted on April 6, 1950, that

subject [Davis] had been elected Assistant Secretary and Delegate to the Territorial Democratic

Convention...attendance of Davis at the Territorial Democratic Convention was verified by

[informant]. This convention took place on April 30 at Kalakana Intermediate School.[50] ”

Andrew Walden of the Hawaii Free Press[51]

has said the story of Frank Marshall Davis is completely

intertwined with the story of the Hawaii Democrats rise to power.[52]

Communists controlled the ILWU, the

ILWU controlled the Hawaii Democratic Party, and in 1954, union-based election campaigns launched the

Hawaii Democrats into control of the legislature. Walden quotes Hawaii’s first Democratic Governor Jack

Burns,

6 of 13

“Every guy in the ILWU was at one time or another a member of the Communist Party of

America. This is where they got their organizational information and how to organize, and how

to bring groups together and how to create cells and how to make movements that are

undetected by the bosses.”

In 1959 Hawaii was admitted to the Union.[53] After Burns captured the governor’s office in 1962 the

Democrats created a one-party state unbroken for four decades until the election of Republican Governor Linda

Lingle in 2002. During those decades in some sessions sat as few as one Republican legislator. In 1976 the

Democratic-controlled Hawaii State Legislature passed a resolution honoring Koji Ariyoshi. Herbert Romerstein,[54][55]

formerly head of the office to Counter Soviet Disinformation at the United States Information Agency

commented, "this was the atmosphere that young Barack Obama grew up in...We honor Soviet spies."[56]

International affairs

In 1963 FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover made a hand written note in the file authorizing a direct approach to

Davis who had been under investigation for 19 years[57]

and had never been interviewed.[58]

During the

interview Davis claimed he was motivated by social policy and not interested in international politics[59]

yet the

record shows otherwise. Davis's column of January 24 1957 for example says,

“I received a copy of the National Guardian on Dec. 31 In it was an article headed 'The Negro

Press on Hungary and Egypt--Do hearts bleed for white skins only?' and containing a summary

of the opinion formed in assorted Negro newspapers...Because I think the opinions of the press

serving 18,000,000 colored Americans are of importance to the people of Hawaii, I am

reprinting the Guardian summary:...[60] ”

This was shortly after the violent and bloody anti-communist Hungarian uprising in 1956. The Guardian was

founded by KGB operatives Cedric Belfrage and James Aronson. During the Korean War, Guardian carried

false reports on American use of germ warfare which many American leftists still charge America with to this

day.[61][62]

Documents from Russian Archives prove, more than four decades after the fact, the United States

was the victim of a disinformation campaign.[63]

The Guardian correspondent who reported the disinformation

actually assisted North Korean interrogators in extracting bogus confessions from American prisoners of war.[64]

Shortly after North Korea invaded the South across the 38th parallel on June 25 1950, Davis wrote

“In addition to muffing the moral leadership we have given the colored people of the globe still

another count against the U.S. as a nation. The U.S. is considered to be a white man's country.

You may be sure that the spectacle of white Americans shooting down Orientals of North Korea

will not be ignored by the rest of the Asia and Africa who are struggling to throw off the yoke of

what they call 'white imperialism'.”

In his column of August 3 1950 Davis devoted considerable space in quoting from The Situation in Asia by

Owen Lattimore in an effort to show that North Koreans supported their government more than the people of

South Korea.[65]

In his Honolulu Record columns Davis regularly condemned the Marshall Plan, the Truman Doctrine, the North

Atlantic Treaty and routinely sung the praises of Kim Il Sung's North Korea.

The future of the Communist party and Barack Obama

After Khrushchev's Secret Speech another generation of loyal Communists were again confronted with the

enormity of Stalin's crimes. As Ann Coulter stated, Sen. Joseph McCarthy "made it a disgrace to be a

Communist."[66] Singer Paul Robeson remained a lifelong denier of the Stalinist holocaust. Davis in his 1963

interview with FBI Special Agent Leo Brenneisen appears to offer some second thoughts about his work for the

Soviet Union. Davis states he would "consort with the devil to gain his end," and his end was the fight against

racial discrimination.

In Barack Obama's Dreams from my Father, the author disguises the identity of an old man named "Frank"

whose struggles the author identifies with.[67]

In 2007 Prof. Gerald Horne outed the identity of "Frank" at a

Communist party gathering and published in an article entitled, Rethinking the History and Future of the

Communist Party:

“At some point in the future, a teacher will add to her syllabus Barack’s memoir and instruct her

students to read it alongside Frank Marshall Davis’ equally affecting memoir...when that day

comes...a future student will ...examine critically the Frankenstein monsters that US imperialism

created in order to subdue Communist parties..."[68] ”

There is no evidence Davis ever abandoned his commitment to what Allen Weinstein described as "a murderous

and discredited ideology." In 1999 it was reported 3 million North Koreans starved to death[69]

in the Socialist

workers paradise Davis so cherished while others were eating grass to survive.[70]

Meanwhile, the people of the

Republic of South Korea, created with American assitance, have thrived and prospered. The Khmer Rouge - the

Communist government of Cambodia, exterminated three million people[71]

after the U.S. backed government

of Lon Nol[72]

fled the country. When the collapse of the Republic of South Vietnam forced hundreds of

thousands to flee the terror of the North Vietnamese communists, an estimated half million drowned in their

desperation to escape.[73]

In the final years of Davis's life the Soviet Union wanted to bring social change in a

new Soviet Socialist Republic of Afghanistan. One million eight hundred thousand Afghani's lost their lives.[74]

The United States actively opposed Soviet-Communist subjugation of the Afghan people. This is the record

of the "Frankenstein monsters" the U.S. supported and the communist parties they opposed.

↑ Both were active in the National Negro Congress;the 1954 Reports of the Commission on Subversive Activities of the

Territory of Hawaii (http://www.usasurvival.org

/docs/Scope_of_Soviet_Activity.pdf) , pp.3-4 states, Communist

Reactions to 1953 Report. The Communist Honolulu Record

devoted an inside-page article to the 1953 Report and its columnist,

Frank Marshall Davis, on August 6, 1953 wrote about the

commission and the report. In his column Davis was guilty of the

usual Communist editorial dishonesty. The following is copied from

his column, and purports to be a quotation from the 1953 report :

"Nor has Davis confined his inflammatory racial propaganda to the

columns of the Honolulu Record alone. His story, Hawaii's Plain

People Fight White Supremacy, appeared in the November 1951

issue of Freedom, a tabloid publication emanating from New York

City. * * * Chairman of the editorial board of Freedom is Paul

Robeson." However, the commission actually reported : "Nor has

Davis confined his inflammatory racial propaganda to the columns of

the Honolulu Record alone. His story, Hawaii's Plain People Fight

White Supremacy, appeared in the November 1951 issue of

Freedom, a tabloid publication emanating from New York City,

whose treatment of interracial problems strikingly conforms to

Communist Party policy. The chairman of the editorial board is Paul

Robeson, an identified member of the Communist Party."
