LET'S TRADE SOME SPIES, TO&
e notion has been kicking around Washington for
quite a while that the United States and Soviet Russia
ought to trade more and more official visitor.,;, tourists, et al.
It is now expected that the President will soon approve
a detailed policy under this head, aet worked out recently in
high Administration circles.
East -West W1'edon't thrill to the idea; but it may
Visitors profit this country some if Washington
will he as realistic as Moscow surely will.
That is to say it's a cinch bet that the Soviets, among
any visitors they allow to come here. will include plenty of
spies, to contact Red agents already planted among us,
start new spy nests, and so on.
So let's do likewi.-~P to the Reds-meaning let Allen W.
Dulles' Central Intelligence Agency deletate a suitable
number of spies to go each year as official or unofficial
visitors to Russia. Let these akents enc?urage the anti-
Commie underground, contact any C. S.-pies now operat-
ing behind the Curtain, and the like.
In short, let's make these East-West visitor exchanges
a two-way operation in all respects- not iln4t in an.na
