Brisbane's $375000 Deal With Brewers Exposed by Palmer
Investigators disclosed documents showing German American brewers sent $878000 to Arthur Brisbane to purchase The Washington Times. The funds moved via the Growing Circulation Corporation with Hearst employees directing two directors. Payments originated from a pool across major U S cities and were funneled through Feigenspan to Brisbane, then to Brisbane’s sister, with checks eventually lost. The affair ties to Spymasters and German propaganda efforts, with details published in Washington and New York.
