" Says
Judge Anderson: "I cannot adopt the contention that Government spies
are any more trustworthy, or less disposed to make trouble in order
to profit therefrom, than are spies in private industry. Except in
time of war, when a Nathan Hale may be a spy, spies are always
necessarily drawn from the unwholesome and untrustworthy classes. A
right-minded man refuses such a job. The evil wrought by the spy
system in industry has, for decades, been incalculable. Until it is
eliminated, decent human relations cannot exist between employers
and employees, or even among employees. It destroys trust and
confidence; it kills human kindliness; it propagates hate."
To what extent have the governmental authorities of America been
forced to deny to the Reds the civil rights guaranteed to good
Americans by the laws and the constitution? The reader who is
curious on this point may send the sum of twenty-five cents to the
American Civil Liberties Union, 138 West 13th Street, New York, for
the pamphlet entitled, "Report upon the Illegal Practices of the
United States Department of Justice," signed by twelve eminent
lawyers in the country, including a dean of the Harvard Law school,
and a United States attorney who resigned because of his
old-fashioned ideas of law.
