Alfred Kohlberg

Alfred Kohlberg (San Francisco, California, 1887 – New York City, 7 April 1960) was a Jewish American entrepreneur and staunch anti-Communist—being the head of the so called "China lobby", a close ally of Roman Catholic Republican Senator, (1946–1957), for Wisconsin Joseph R. McCarthy, a guide to former candy lollipops manufacturer Robert W. Welch Jr. and founding director of the staunch right-wing activist John Birch Society.^[1]

Kohlberg was also a board member of the Institute of Pacific Relations, which he thought was infiltrated by communists.^[2] He was the financial backer of Plain Talk, edited by Russian-American Jew Isaac Don Levine, which merged with The Freeman: Ideas on Liberty, published by the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE) in 1950.
