The Mysterious figure of Bir Basil Zaharoff (left), British-knighted Russo-Greco-Franco profes. sional merchant of death," shadowed the recent inquiry of the Senate committee headed by Gerald P. Nye (centre) into the relationship of American armaments concerns to the European combine which makes wars and munitions. He was revealed, by the testimony of Henry R. Carse, President of the Electric Boat Co., to have received heavy payments from the United States concern and to have used his influence in United States Navy matters.
