Russian Spying
ussian agents are on ei
spying and subversion as industriously as
ever. Allen W. Dulles, head of our Cen-
tral Intelligence agency, reports the new
Geneva spirit has not damped the con-
tinued ardor of the Communist Govern-
ment to ferret out secrets and promote
confusion in other lands. Such activity
has become almost second nature in the
Russian regime.
Because of our tradition of free discus-
sion and publicity the Russians without
spying can get a fairly ' complete picture
of what is going on in the United States.
No matter how. tight our security regula-
tions are, enough is published in -our
newspapers and magazines to give the
Russians information.
The weak point in a spy system is that
what the spies report,is not properly
evaluated at home. Mr. Dulles reminds us
that we ourselves made - this mistake
about Pearl Harbor. Our Intelligence
warned us of what was coming, but the
information was not correctly interpret-
ed.
Speeches of the Kremlin leaders show:
the grossest ignorance of America. The
iron 'curtain cuts the Russian people off`
from any authoritative news of other
countries. Moscow's subversive work can
gain an occasional traitor for its purpose,
but so far it has made the Communists
and their fellow-travelers the most un-
popular and suspected people in this coun-
try.
