    • Abstract:
      The article discusses political and economic conditions in the U.S. The persistent vagueness and softness of the defensive testimony by and about Alger Hiss has created a fine source of satire for Republican campaign speakers and for the school of journalists that works the line that Washington has been run by Communists since 1932. Despite the accumulating evidence in the financial pages of the press of far more important developments, the electioneering "spy" committees and nominee Thomas E. Dewey worked tirelessly at the line that the relief of a Communist beleaguered Washington," as fast as a Republican President can be elected," said Dewey was the real issue on which the fate of the Republic depended.
