... (c) www.lobster-magazine.co.uk (Issue 19) May 1990 Last¦ Contents¦ Next Issue 19 Way out West: a conspiracy theory Stephen Dorril A current example of a conspiracy theory is the continuing attempt to paint Roger Hollis as a member of the so-called 'Ring of Five'. There is, it should be said, not a shred of evidence that Hollis ever passed a single piece of information to the Soviets, nor that he had any contacts with Soviet intelligence officers or agents. But this doesn't hinder the conspiracy theorists who ...

You would be wrong- or so says the doyen of British espionage writers, Chapman Pincher. In a piece in the Western Daily Mail on 4 August 1998, Pincher reported the following. ...

... between pro-Soviet socialists and even liberals, ordinary communist militants, and people working for Soviet intelligence, leads not only to unscholarly work but to nasty witch hunts. What first drew my attention to this trend was when Peter Wright came out with his accusation about Sir Roger Hollis. Chapman Pincher was wheeled out to back up the claim that Hollis had been recruited to Soviet intelligence by Arthur Ewert when in China. Ewert was in Shanghai between autumn 1932 and summer 1934, as the Comintern's advisor to the illegal Chinese Communist Party. A ...

... there was another smear campaign against John Strachey, the Minister of War. (These campaigns bear remarkable similarities to the later plots against Ministers in the Wilson governments.) According to de Courcy, on 14th September 1951, two MI5 officers under the orders of Roger Hollis were sent to Paris to interview French officials looking for dirt to discredit the Paris branch of de Courcy's Intelligence Digest. This, so de Courcy says, had been undertaken with the blessing of the Labour Party and Strachey. (23) The significance of this ...

... from Britain and Europe to discuss tactics of disrupting industry throughout Europe in the ensuing five years'. Steve Dorril adds: There is one little gem in Wright's book which is worth noting. On p. 93 Wright reveals that the Director-General of MI5, Sir Roger Hollis, deliberately destroyed a document before the Denning Inquiry into the Profumo Affair. This showed that Hollis had tried, via the Cabinet Secretary, to enlist John Profumo's help in an entrapment operation of the Soviet diplomat, Eugene Ivanov, in July 1961. Tony Summers ...

... them laughing with their early evening cocktails over in Langley, Virginia. 'At a critical moment, an important meeting was held between Cabinet Secretary Norman Brook, Pat [Patrick] Dean representing the Foreign Office, the director of MI5, Mr (later Sir) Roger Hollis, and Norman Reddaway representing the IRD. At the end of it, Brook instructed Hollis to make available to the Foreign Office, with security collateral, intelligence about communist malpractices in the unions that could be used by IRD. This led, among other things ...

... That Rothschild did reactivate Wright is beyond doubt; his aim was to vindicate his own reputation, which had suffered after the exposure of his friend Anthony Blunt, not to mention his association with MOSSAD. Unfortunately Wright seized the opportunity to pursue his own vendetta against Roger Hollis, who is now known by all honest men to have been innocent of any involvement with the Soviets. This is, perhaps. the only merit of this tedious book: it does not rehash the Hollis saga. Last¦ Contents¦ Next ...

... similar scheme, 'Workers' Travel Grants', was run by the English-Speaking Union (ESU). 'In January 1953 the ESU, with funding from an American source described as a private donor, established a Current Affairs Unit under the direction of intelligence expert General Leslie Hollis and the chairmanship of Francis Williams' (p. 175). I would need to see the evidence of the 'private donor'; the presumption must be that this is another state – possibly CIA – operation. And you get many bonus points if you ...

... the day. In America, for example, this was reflected by Edward Epstein (one of Angleton's most devoted followers) in his book Legend; in this country via the likes of MI5 channels like Chapman Pincher, the 'Fourth Man' episode, and the so-called Hollis affair. Golitsyn now has a book out, New Lies For Old (London 1984) written with "the help of Western intelligence officials" (Sunday Times 11th March 1984), and actually two ex-members of MI5 and (I believe) two ex-members of ...
