David Warren Ryder (May 8, 1892 - May 1975) was a San Francisco author, journalist, historian, and publicist. In 1942 he was convicted for being a unregistered Japanese agent. David Warren Ryder was born in Elk Creek, California in 1892. He graduated from Stanford University in 1912. He taught himself law and was part of the legal profession until 1920. Many of his political writings were on the Social Credit movement. Rider was a friend and correspondent of H. L. Mencken. They two exchanged dozens of letters over the years. In the 1930s he published as series of Far Eastern Affairs pamphlets. In June 1942 He was convicted as being a Japanese agent and violator of the Foreign Agents Registration Act. He accepted funds from the Japanese Committee on Trade and Information for bulk purchases of his monthly pamphlet, Far Eastern Affairs. Along with Frederick Vincent Williams he was sentenced 16 months to four years in prison. After his release from prison Ryder began to write several books and pamphlets on the histories of San Francisco companies. In the 1960s he was an opponent of bussing and school racial integration. The Publisher states that: "These pamphlets are being published as an experiment--to see what public response there will be to an effort to present the truth, frequently the neglected truth and quite often the unpopular truth, concerning issues and problems which involved the well-being and perpetuity of our political and economic institutions and, therefore, vitally affect the welfare and destiny of us all. " During the 1920s, the author's interest turned to writing and at various times he was a special correspondent for the Springfield (Illinois) Republican, the Baltimore Sun, and the Chicago Tribune. He also served as Contributing Editor and Columnist for Controversy (San Francisco), Columnist for New Democracy (New York) and West Coast representative for The New English Weekly (London). Mr. Ryder was also the publicity director of the Industrial Association of San Francisco and handled public relations and advertising assignments for the Southern Pacific Railroad and the American Lines Steamship Co. In 1942, he was convicted after the prosecution showed that he accepted funds from the Japanese Committee on Trade and Information for bulk purchases of his monthly pamphlet, Far Eastern Affairs. During his trial, Mr. Ryder insisted that this did not make him a Japanese agent. In fact, he stated that he accepted larger payments from Chinese interests to help defray his publication costs. Throughout the ordeal, he maintained his innocence.
