Text of Statement Issued
By Burgess and MocIeon

Tert OF a statement issued in
:ish diplomats Guy Burgess and
by MoscoD Radio:
As regards Maclean, he was
in the official diplomatic service
lin London and Paris. Washing
ton and Cairo from 1885 to 1851
thus being part of the machine
which, with the exception Of the
war period, was pursuing a policy
unacceptable not only to Mac
lean, but also to many others,
l He was by no means the only
one in the Foreign Office to ex-
press before the war his negative
attitude toward Britain's foreign
policy, particularly as regards
Abyssinia ethiopia, the civil
war in Spain and the Munich
events.
l However. after the war he
found himself more and more
; alone.
}. It was becoming increasingly
difficult to find anyone to think
of something else than the Com
munist menace. to understand
the senselessness and danger OF
American policy in the Far East
and Europe.
To remain further in the dip
lomatic service was becoming
impossible. In May, 1851, there
were clear signs that whatever
plans he may have been making
for his future, the Foreign Office
and the Security organs had
their own intentions as regards
him.
The telephones both in his
office and at his home were being
used as microphones for listen
ing in. Counterespionage agents
followed him wherever he went
and one Of his colleagues was
sent to him for provocative pur-
'Iposes.
Decided to Leave
For this reason, Maclean de-
cided to go to the Soviet Union
in order to contribute from
there, to the best of his ability
to the achievements of mutual
understanding between East and
West.
The difficulty of leaving the
country while under police sur
peillance was solved by q meet
ing with Burgess who had jus,
returned to London from Wash
Iington. where he was occupying
Ia post in the British Embassy
The latter not only agreed to
Organize everything necessary
for departure. but he himself
also took the decision to leave
Britain.
This journey was too danger

expecting a baby.
She arrived with her children
in the Soviet Union in 1858.
| AS regards Burgess. having de-
cided to leave Cambridge. he
Joined the BIC. Later, he was
offered other posts. Having
: agreed to this, he worked al
first In one of the departments
Of the British Secret Service

and later in the Foreign once
During all this time. he sympa'
Ithized with Soviet policy.
At the same time. he was In
lcreasingly alarmed by the post
war character of Anglo-Ameri'
can policy.
No Effort for Peace
The greatest anxiety wa:
caused by the fact that at first
no modus vivendi was reached
between East and West and la
ter on no attempts were made
to reach it.
| Neither when he was working
in the BIC, when he was q
Foreign Office official, nor when
he was connected with the
Secret Service or counter eSpi-
onage-M. I. Sid he make q
secret with his friends or COL
leagues of his views or of the
fact that he had been a Com
muniSt.
His views at the time he held
the aforementioned posts clearly
refute the assertion that he was
a Soviet agent.
This explanation Of the views
Of Burgess is necessary to un-
derStand the circumstances
which arose a week or so after
his return to London from
Washington in 1851.
He visited MacLean as the
American department of the
Foreign Office.
During this meeting they dis
covered that their knowledge
and appreciation Of the political
situation and the danger of wal
were identical.
Further Events
| The further course of events
was determined by the following
circumstances.
/ Burgess, who already a few
months previously had started
looking for other work. intend
ing to leave the diplomatic serv-
ice, was faced with the fact that
the Foreign ONCE. somewha,
later and independently Of Bur.
CESS decision. had decided moi
to employ him any longer In the
diplomatic service.
/ There can be no doubt that
no agent would have left the
Foreign ONCE on his own initia-
tive.
/ However, at the decisive mo.
ment Burgess had doubts as Il
whether he wished or could dc
work for which he was striving
without acting against his owr
conscience.
| For this reason. when Mac
lean told Burgess that he him.
self had decided no longer tc
work for the Foreign Once ano
its policy. and also proposed that
both Of them should go to the
USSR. 1t was not difficult fol
Burgess to agree to this.
Only there, 1t seemed to them
was a possibility to put into
practice in one form on another
the convictions which they had
always held.

at that time the correct decision

Donald Mdclean, as broadcast
It seems to us doubts and
speculation as to our present
whereabouts and our former &C.
tivity may represent a small but
significant factor which has
hitherto been used and may
again be used by opponents Of
Anglo-Soviet understanding.
In view of these considerations
we thought it better to publish
this statement.
We arrived in the Soviet Union
in order to make our contribu.
ton to a policy aimed at achiev-
ing greater mutual understand
ing between the Soviet Union
and the West. having become
convinced on a basis Of officia.
information which was at oul
disposal of the fact that neither
the British, nor still more the
American policy at that time
was seriously pursuing the object
The position which we &C.
cupied gave us every reason tc
think such mutual understand
ing absolutely necessary if We
wish to preserve peace.
We had every reason for COM
ing to the conclusion that such
mutual understanding was the
object of Soviet policy.
Feared for Future
We had every possibility tc
know the plans of a small but
powerful group of men who OPP
posed the achievement of such
mutual understanding and foI
this reason we had every
grounds to fear these plans.
When we were in Cambridge
we were both Communists. W.
ceased our political activities
not because we were to any ex'
tent not in agreement with
Marxist analysis Of the situation
which we still observe at tn,
present moment, but because al
has now become clear to us, WI
wrongly presumed that being II
the service of the state we coulc
more than anywhere else pu'
into practice our ideals.
Wrongful Interpretation Of oul
actions-the need to cease po.
litical activities when entering
the service of the state-appar.
emily led to the statement of tn,
Foreign ONCE that the Foreign
ONCE presumes that we had be.
come Soviet agents in Cam,
bridge.
The Foreign ONCE can. O.
course, presume anything 4
wishes. But what matters is tina
we, not the Foreign ONCE, ar,
competent In this question.
We neither of us have evel
been Soviet agents.
Up to that moment the path.
OF our lives were alike.
Later the career of each of u,
followed a different course. Fo,
this reason it will be better t.
