Currue refuses to help Greenberg
Greenberg's FBI file is highly redacted. A wiretap in 1945 revealed Greenbergs's co-workers discussing "the charges against him", and remarking that Greenberg would have been better off if he had worked, but that he had never turned out a piece of work in the three years he had been employed by the government.

In the Hatch Act investigation conducted of Greenberg a number of persons described him as being definitely a [[leftist]] if not a [[Communist]]. One source interviewed, George Taylor, Assistant Director of the [[Office of War Information]], stated that Greenberg always advocated full and complete cooperation and support to the [[Chinese Communist Party]]. Greenberg's knowledge of the Near East and China was described as being second-hand. A source declared, "He (Greenberg) has never been there, and he hasn't been able to go because he is not a citizen. Be should not be given a position of trust in the United States Governmenit."
FBI eavsdropping surveillance in 1945 on a conversation between [[Philip Jaffe]], [[Andrew Roth]], and Theodore Cohen of the Foreign Economic Administration revealed them discussing the charges brought against Greenberg of the FEA by the Civil Service Commission. Greenberg had been charged with Communist connections and affiliations. Jaffe, in referring to Greenberg's case, stated that Lauchlin Currie "was the guy who could help" but refused to furnish assistance.
Upon return to England, Greenberg went back to Cambridge and completed work on his Ph.D. thesis, which was eventually published as a book [http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0853454973 "British Trade and the Opening of China"] (1947, [[Cambridge University Press]], reissued in 1970, republished in the USA in 1979, and again in 2000 as part of an 8 volume set "China Trade : British Commerce and the Opening of China, 1635-1842"). This book, based on the then recently released archives of the [[Jardine Matheson]] Company, a major player in the development of Hong Kong, describes the forceful exploitation of China by British colonial power in establishing and maintaining the colony of Hong Kong (see also [[Opium War]]).
