PEGLER of our laws and our
courts in our own
country and the frank threat TO
punish the United States because
our congress has dared to investi-
gate Russian espionage.
They never spoke thus until
they were ready to move into
the phase of prOvOcatiOn which
preCedes the breach Of diplO-

These relations were an advan.
tage to Russia from 1888 down to
the present. Hereafter, the Soviets
would be better off and we would
be worse off as diplomatic stran-

The supreme court has upheld
this law against attacks on consti-

only in the actual state Of war, this

Wallace probably had legal au-
thority to do as he did. If not, some
shyster in the department Of justice
or state would create an illusion Of
law to justify whatever be did.
The F. B. l. reported to President
Truman years ago that the wife of
one Of Wallace's close workers was
a cOurier-spy for Russia during the
war and carried packages from
spies on the New York waterfront
to Russian agents in North Africa.
She was employed as a highly con-
fdential agent in an American
counter-espionage service. Today
she is campaigning openly in Amer
lean politics for the candidate of
the Kremlin.
Mr.. Truman had this report
on his desk for years along with
all the other information which
has been gushing out in the re-
cent hearings. He tactiIy ad-
mits that he had it but defends
his suppression Of truth on the
grounds that a grand jury
which heard it refused to indict.
