Spy Case Kept Covered

SSLIBI COS WAS ScIlOuSly dldIIlcu ONcl
the information obtained through
the Washington grapevine.
1t was known that not q single
top secret document was safe ane
that all information such a docu'
ment contained would find its WAY
to Moscow more speedily than to re.
sponsible American officials. In dis.
regard of existing laws, because O.
the war emergency" the Sovie'
government was permitted to install
a powerful radio transmitter in tht
Pentagon itself. 1t sent tens o.
thousands Of words to Moscow every
day.
In 1914 War Department cryptog.
raphers had almost succeeded ir
breaking the Russian code. Thes
wanted to learn what the Soviet
Representatives in this country were
sending in such large volume to the
Kremlin. They were elated over
their success in breaking what was
considered to be the most compli-
Gated code in existence when the
head Of the section working on II
was called one morning by his
superior officer and told to clay off ;
When this officer tried to argue his
case he was told CURLY: This is
an order"
The testimony Of the confessed
Soviet spy, Elizabeth Bentley, two
weeks ago, that she had caused q
near panic among her Soviet con-
facts when she learned froln her
pipelines In the White House about
the Russian code, explains at this
late date the order" not to tampe1
with Russian secret cyphers.
Other Codes Read
The unofficial explanation at that
time was that 1t would be unethical
for us to pry into the secret COM
munications of our Allies, although
it was an open secret to all that we
were reading the codes of many
other nations which were our associ-
ates in the war.
When this was pointed out to
high officials the explanation was
that this might be true, but that
Russia was highly sensitive and su-
spicious and might take offense. 1t
might have had serious repercus-
sions on the war effort If we read
her communications. That was
correct. 1t would have been a serious
blow to her conspiratorial plans II
We had discovered what her agents
or high and low levels in the gov
eminent were transmitting to
Moscow.
The desire not to offend Russia
in any way unquestionably was be-
hind the secrecy maintained by the
highest men in the Government on
the activities of Russian agents in
this country. The war is over and
we have been in q cold war with
the Soviets for nearly 10 months.
1t would seem reasonable for the
Chief Executive to make available
to congressional Investigators the
files containing the names and de-
tails Of activities Of those who have
been working for Russia in this
country. There is no reason to be-
heve that this would not have been
done ct another time than an cleo
ton year. Since most Of the culprits
gave actual or lip service to the New
Deal. the revelations contained In
these files might affect the result OF

van, stated that ut takes Com
munist to catch q Communist"
Couldn't Help Themselves
Neither the Secretary of War
the Secretary Of State, nor the
heads of other Government depart
ments and agencies relished the
presence of Communists in their
organizations. But they could not
help themselves. The pressure from
the top of the executive branch not
to discriminate against liberals
was SO great that no executive could
stay in his job unless he complied
with such instructions.
When highly efficient admiral
head of Navy communications
protested too loudly that the files
of radio operators in merchant ships
where wen-known Communists had
gotten a hold, were refused to him
by the Federal Communications
Commission, he was removed from
active duty and retired, although
he was one of the ablest communi-
cation experts In the United States
The few attempts to purge Com
munists, who were proved to have
transmitted highly secret informa-
ton to Russia during the war, were
frustrated. Such was the case with
former Soviet citizen, one Jaffe
VINO with a number of others was
indicted by grand jury in Wash
lngton. Although the proof of their
guilt was overwhelming, Jaffe, who
was the ringleader, drew a small
fine, while the others were white
washed.
Canada Broke Case
1t was not until the Canadian
spy case broke in 1916, with the
revelations made by Mr.. Gouzenko
code clerk at the Soviet Embassy In
Ottawa, that the public began te
learn some facts about the activi-
ties Of the Soviet government In
the Western Hemisphere, facts
which were fully known to the
FBI and to the armed forces in
telligence services and consequently
should have been fully known to
our own Government.
Neither the FBI nor the intel
ligence branches Of the Army and

The Change IN Our Economy After 100 Years

me Inan9e IN Our Economy After 100 Years
LITTLE over a fortnight ago the Virgin Islands cele-
brated its Tooth Anniversary of freedom from slavery. It was
a significant celebration, not so much for the event itself, but
because of what it held forth at a time when the rest of the
New World had not yet been shaken at the thought Of keep
ing humans in chains and all that went with it because of
what temporarily seemed an economic advantage. It was free
dom complete in itself, for those early slaves knew and under
stood the meaning Of freedom, and fastened to accept all for
which it stood Oddly enough, the mother country, Denmark,
six or seven years before freedom was proclaimed, had made
public education compulsory, as was brought out in the his
tory given during the celebrations. This was significant be-
cause those who were in power had vision enough to see the
need for training prior to freeing a group whose sole economic
dependence was upon the masters.
LOOKING over the past 100 years we come, naturally, toi
a stopping place where we may compare what has been with
what now is. That is the significance of history. History as
such is valuelesS unless we inherit the riches which the ex-
periences Of past generations have given. And so we look back
critically to compare.
100 years past our economy has undergone a com
plete and very significant change. Sugar, which was our prin-
cipal product of export, still is, but the world market and com
petition has pushed us from our position. Old St. Croix rum,
which was a word-famous product, and which sailed theI
seven seas with the swash-buckling, sea faring Adventures;
has toppled from it. enviable position, and is now just one
more product. Where, a hundred years ago, slaves TILED the
field in practically every corner Of St. Croix, and vegetation
was luxuriant, justly giving the name of the Garden of thel
West Indies, today the visitor sees wide open spaces devoted
to cattle raising. The result that where 100 estate hands were
needed to keep it going as a unit, a cattle estate today needs
but two or three men. Which brings US to the great population
changes. One hundred years ago the population Of these IS
lands was estimated at over $4,000. Today it is $4,000. And,

THIRTl-ONE years ago,
after having flown over these
islands tor l85 years, Old Dan
nebrog (as the Danish flag was
affectionately known among
the nativeS) was hauled down,
and the Stars and Stripes hoist
ed in its place. Those 81 years
have seen highly significant
changes, as the rest of the
world, struggling to create per
manent peace, and a well-or-
dered world society, has made
many efforts in that direction.
These Islands, too, have been
affected by such efforts. Nov
ing towards greater autonomy,
these Islands received its
form of civil self-government,
after l6 years Of Navy rule,
And in 1916. with the true
meaning Of democracy and

saw its first Negro Governor.
THESE were a few of the
significant highlights Of the
past 100 years. AS we continue

OF the times-greater and full

OF democracy, equality rising
high above race, color, or.
