Burt: That line you are looking for is in a one-page bio or curriculum vitae that was in the opening pages of a book Pound published in the 20s or 30s; I'd guess it was a New Directions imprint. They might help you. I think it was a collection of poetry but not Personnae, in fact I can't think now what it might have been. But I know the thing existed. I had the book but don't seem to have it any more. It might be the one called Selected Poems in the ND catalog. Hope this is some help. BTW: the causes EP discovered rather resemble my own conclusions concerning the current mess. Credit him with marked prescience.
