On November 16, 1933, when the Roosevelt administration granted diplomatic recognition to the Union of Soviert SAocialist Republics, the Soviet Union pledged itself to refrain "from interfering in any manner in the internal affairs of the United States." That occurred three weeks after the founding of the [[Comintern]] affiliated [[American League for Peace and Democracy]]. Other Comintern affiliates sprung up in the ensuing years, including the [[American Youth Congress]] in 1934 and the [[League of American Writers]] in 1935. [[NKVD]] officers traveled the country in the guise of diplomatic and consular officials, conducting [[espionage]] activities freely and offering bribes. On 28 February 1934 Elliott Roosevelt, son of the President, and [[Anthony Fokker]] each received half a million dollars for selling fifty military planes to the Soviet government. <ref>John T.
