TRANSLATION FROM FRENCH
' One article from “France-Soir" a French daily newspaper,
appearing on 5/6/65, is entitled “Burgess MacLean, Philby:
Everyone 'Knew’ and Yet They Defected to the East.” (Translator's
mote: It is noted that this article appears to be one of a series
begun on April 28 by “France-Soir," and = entitled “A Great
Inquiry,” by Philippe Labro.)
A GREAT INQUIRY BY PHILIPPE LABRO

_ courtesy. But, in the final analysis, decorated as he was,
Lionel Crabb was really not a gentleman.
However, the diplomats Burgess and MacLean were. After
vanishing in 1951, they were found in Moscow five years later.
England had to yield to the proof: yes, the two gentlemen were

MacLean «- at the left - Burgess - in the center -
Philby - at the right (Translator'’s note: Pictures of the said
men appear above.) All three were formerly from Cambridge
University; all three were former officials from the Foreign Office
all three defected to the East (the first two in 1951; the third
in 1963). It was Philby who sounded the alarm for MacLean and
Burgess. Yes, but who sounded it for Philby?
