It puts into sharper focus the charge of Gen-. eral Douglas MacArthur, in his rebuttal of ex- . President Truman, that a spy ring was success- - ful in purloining his top secret reports to Wash- ington, including Korean war campaign plans, and passing them on to the enemy. MacArthur says significantly: , . - .“It was not until the recent exposure of the cece ne British spies, Burgess and Maclean, that the true facts began to unfold. These men with access to secret files were undoubtedly links in the chain to our enemy in Korea through Peiping by way of Moscow... “I myself have long been convinced that Red China’s decision to commit its forces to the . Korean peninsula was predicated upon assur- a ine tn ances previously given through Moscow that - such intervention would not precipitate retalia- tion against its attack bases.” MacArthur urged that the ring be exposed and treason trials instituted. Nothing was done. Red China emerged as the dominant power of the Far East. U.S. prestige suffered a blow. ~ The derisive laughter of Burgess and Mac- lean from their Moscow sanctuary is in answer _to those who minimize the continuing Communist conspiracy, and who shriek the sneering cry of 2 " “witch hunt?” at all efforts to expose the menace. i B14 ae Date te OTe alg MY eer th pee ye,
