'''Merwin Kimball Hart''' (June 25, 1881 &amp;amp;ndash; November 20, 1962) was an [[American  nationalist]] and [[anti-communist]] political figure. Hart presented himself as a [[political economist]] and a supporter of [[Franco]]’s [[Spain]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Early life==&lt;br /&gt;
Born in [[Utica, New York]], Hart attended [[Harvard]] in 1900, graduating in 1904 in the same class as [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]]. He was elected to the [[New York State Assembly]] in the [[New York state election, 1906|election of 1906]], and was involved with the [[Progressive Movement]]. He would sponsor what became the [[Hart-Agnew Law]], an anti-[[gambling]] bill passed by the [[New York Legislature]] on June 11, 1908 that led to a complete shutdown of [[horse racing]] in the State during 1911 and 1912.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Merwin Hart later practiced law, being admitted to the bar in 1911. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the [[World War I|First World War]], Hart served in [[France]], as Captain. After the War, Hart returned to practicing law.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Career==&lt;br /&gt;
In 1930 Hart and others founded the New York State Economic Council, a legislative lobbying organization that sought to curtail government interference into the economy in aftermath of the economic collapse in 1929. Roosevelt's [[New Deal]] would provide for new challenges to the organization, especially to Hart personally, who saw in the New Deal something far removed from the American way of life. Another factor, Hart believed, too, was interfering with society: [[Communism]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1937 he toured Europe, and Hart was happy to see that at least one country could stop the Communist menace, [[Francisco Franco|Franco]]'s [[Spain under Franco|Spain]]. In 1938 he founded the pro-Franco group the [[American Union for Nationalist Spain]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;''The future catches up: selected writings of Ralph M. Goldman'', by Ralph Morris Goldman, page 90&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the 1940s, Hart became briefly a target of Jewish [[Secretary of Interior]] [[Harold L. Ickes]]. Ickes spoke about &amp;quot;fifth column&amp;quot; interference in the United States at an address at [[Columbia University]], and classified Hart as being part of the &amp;quot;native fascist minded group.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Ickes Denounces 'Appeasers' Here |publisher=[[New York Times]] |page=30 |date=1940-12-18}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Hart demanded a retraction by Ickes, saying that his &amp;quot;statements are absolutely false.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=M. K. Hart Demands that Ickes Recant |publisher=New York Times |page=22 |date=1940-12-19}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In reply, Ickes offered Hart a &amp;quot;trade.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I will retract my statement gladly when I hear that you have come out to fight against the asserted gangs of native Fascists and fifth columnists that are trying to pave the way for the dictators here as they prepared it in other lands; when I hear that you have come out in defense of civil liberties and American democracy. Until then, my dear sir, you remain in my eyes, and in the eyes of the American people, what I said you were.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Ickes Offers Hart Retraction Trade |publisher=New York Times |page=10 |date=1940-12-21}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; An unsatisfied Hart replied, &amp;quot;I am and always have been absolutely opposed to fascism, nazism and communism in the United States... [they] are building up in Washington a government well-nigh as fascistic, as despotic, as anything in the dictator countries of Europe.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Hart Again Accuses Ickes of Distortion |publisher=New York Times |page=28 |date=1940-12-22}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Ickes would later denounce Hart as a bigot, one of the five American &amp;quot;[[Quisling]]s.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Ickes is Honored as Foe of Bigotry |publisher=New York Times |page=13 |date=1941-02-26}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Hart accused Ickes of slander again.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Hart Denies Charge of 'Treason' by Ickes |publisher=New York Times |page=9 |date=1941-02-27}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==National Economic Council==&lt;br /&gt;
In 1943, Hart renamed his organization into the [[National Economic Council]], for which a few noted [[libertarianism|libertarians]] did some work, [[Albert Jay Nock]], [[Frank Chodorov]] and [[Garet Garrett]], but none joined the Council. The National Economic Council later worked with [[Frank Gannett]] and the [[National Committee to Uphold Constitutional Government]]. Hart and his National Economic Council sponsored radio commentator [[Upton Close]] on the Mutual Radio Network starting in February 1946.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;''A Measure of Freedom'', by [[Arnold Foster]], page 55&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The [[Jewish Question]]==&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, conspiracist views had entered the worldview of Hart, which became now even more overt in the writings of the Council. In 1960, Hart became a chairman of the New York branch of the [[John Birch Society]]. Although he denied allegations of [[anti-Semitism]] before the Buchanan committee, the 1961 letter of the National Economic Council carried the following statement: &amp;quot;...if there were 6,000,000 Jews within reach of [[Hitler]], which number is [[Holocaust denial|widely questioned]], and if they have all disappeared, where are they?&amp;amp;nbsp;... Is it not likely that many of these 6,000,000 claimed to have been killed by Hitler and [[Eichmann]] are right here in the United States and are now joining in the agitation for more and more support for the state of [[Israel]]—even if the American Republic goed down.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Merwin K. Hart of Birch Society |publisher=New York Times |page=88 |date=1962-12-02}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
