Mach Denies Charge in Attorney General Inquiry Letter to the Post
Alfred L Becker charges against me as deputy attorney general are denied. I explain my role with the Citizens' Committee for Food Shipments in New York starting December 1915, including funds handling, separation of administrative funds, and proper accounting. I refute claims that I enriched myself or controlled the fund and note repeated audits and bank procedures. I dispute Ladd's alleged pro German articles and clarify my distance from any conspiracies linked to the German University League while noting Rosenberg’s ambiguous ties.
