'''Harrison George''' was a senior [[Communist Party of the United States]] (CPUSA) leader, editor of the party's West Coast newspaper, ''[[People's World]]'', and member of the [[Comintern]]'s Pan-Pacific Trade Union Secretariat (PPTUS).
The PPTUS was established in 1927, with [[Earl Browder]] as its General Secretary. Document's from the Comintern Archive in Moscow reveal the relationship between Browder and George who at the time was an [[Industrial Workers of the World]] (IWW) leader and Communist mole in the Wobblies. Another document is the minutes of a PPTUS meeting signed by George and by Tsutomu Yano, who would later recruit people for the [[Richard Sorge]] spy ring in Japan. Intercepted [[NKVD|Soviet intelligence]] traffic reveal's a covert relationship George had as a [[Agent handling#Fronts and cutout|cutout]] transmitting information from [[James Walter Miller]], who worked in the U.S. Post Office's Office of Censorship to the San Fransisco KGB.
