Edward Clark Carter (June 9, 1878 – November 9, 1954) was Secretary General of the Institute of Pacific Relations, chairman of the National Committee for Medical Aid to the Soviet Union and Russian War Relief and a member of the Executive Committee of the American Russian Institute,[1] alleged Communist front groups.
In 1938, when many other formerly loyal friends of the Soviet Union were becoming disillusioned by Stalin’s Great Purge,[2] Carter defended the show trials, saying the Russian people “are thankful that their government has at last been firm in dealing with what they regard as Fascist-supported intrigue to overthrow the Government of the Soviet Union.” This apologia was reprinted in full in Soviet Russia Today, which identified Carter as a frequent contributor to “our leading periodicals.”[3][4][5]
