'''Solomon Adler''' (or '''Sol Adler''') was born in [[Britain]] and became a U.S. citizen in 1936, when he obtained employment in the [[United States Department of the Treasury]].  Adler also was a [[Soviet]] [[spy]] who supplied information to the [[Silvermaster espionage ring]].

Adler served in China and shared a house with [[Chi Ch’ao ting]] and "China hand" [[John Service]].  From China, Adler sent back reports opposing President [[Franklin Roosevelt]]'s gold loan program of $200 million to help the [[Kuomintang|Nationalist Chinese Government]] stabilize its currency in 1943.  Secretary [[Harry Dexter White]] and [[Frank Coe]] supported this view (to de-stabilize the anti-Communist government of Chiang Kai-Shek). Hyperinflation in China amounted to more than 1000% per year between 1943 and 1945, weakening the standing of the Nationalist government domestically in China. This helped the Communists eventually to come to power in China, delivering hundreds of millions of people into their hands.
