The reports reflect McNaughton's own opinions on many issues. Although Time's publisher, Henry Luce, was a Republican, McNaughton is clearly sympathetic toward some of the policies of the Roosevelt and Truman administrations. He is highly critical of Roosevelt's isolationist opponents in Congress, who resisted U.S. preparedness and assistance to Great Britain during the early stages of the war. He also exhibits skepticism toward anti-Communist "witch-hunts"-although he seems to show more respect for the charges made by Whittaker Chambers, a senior editor at Time who in 1948 accused Alger Hiss, formerly a high-ranking State Department official, of having been a Communist. McNaughton's reports are arranged in chronological order. An index to the reports in this series is included as an appendix to this finding aid.
