Spies Aren't AS Dang
erous as Saboteurs
Continued From Page One)

It may seem a little funny that
our spy hunters raise such a hue
and-cry before they've caught any
body. When a peacetime fly cop is
after a miscreant, he tries to sneak
up on the latter from behind as un-
ostentatiously as possible, he doesn't
take a brass band along with him
It isn't really so queer, though. The
F. B. l. and its assistants are getting
a heap of fun out of their perfor-
nance. And large part of the sport
consists in telling about it.
Spies Versus SabOteurs.
Spies don't appear to me to be as
dangerous as they're represented
anyway Sabotage is something else
again.
. A spy's job simply is to gather in
formation.
A 'saboteur's stunt is to do imme-
diate damage-to toss grit or a pine
lpple into an enemy's physical ma
chinery (like a munitions plant or a
Panama canal lock), thus putting il
)ut of commission.

out-and-out war is raging. Even then
le's a hard customer to head off in
ldvance. He's like a murderer or q
burglar. He can't be convicted OF
murder or burglary before he's COM
mitted it.
But a spy? His intentions are bad
doubtless. Yet how does he acquire
his dope?
By peeking through keyholes? Far
rom it. He gets books at tie con-
gressional library or official reports
from the government printing office
books and reports that anybody car
have by asking for 'em. He digests
this stuff, puts it into what looks lik.
confidential form and then peddles
it to some potentially hostile for
eign war office. Said war office
might reasonably prosecute any one
of these spies for obtaining money
oy false pretenses. Or maybe the spy
might reasonably complain to the
FLRB for underpaying him. Severa
