Robert Stripling

From The Red Plot Against America (1949) by Robert Stripling

Personally, I seem to have committed the crime of attempting to expose people who seek to destroy our way of life. It is a job for which I was hired by chosen representatives of the people of the United States ; a job which I attended to the best of my ability. It is not a very good job, really, for the simple reason that it is now unfashionable, if that is the word, to be primarily interested in America and the preservation of its liberties. Apparently it is bad taste to expose the fact that Government documents of great importance are being stolen ; that a President demanded the admission to this country of Mrs. Earl Browder, over the protests of the State Department, because he did not want to be embarrassed by Joe Stalin�s questions ; that a number of Government officials, by their admission or refusal to answer, have been mixed up with a gang of cold-blooded subversives ; that choice military secrets, including A-bomb data, have been passed on to the leaders of a country which since V-E day has overrun Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Czechoslovakia, Finland, Albania and most of China.
