In the basic Resolution passed by the Legislative Council, the Attorney General was invited to conduct the interrogation of the witnesses. The subject of subversion is a delicate matter. It has been said that a man_may_be robbed of his money and worldly goods, but when you rob him of his good reputation you have stolen his most valuable treasure, With this thought in mind, your Attorney General has insisted that any statement by a witness be substantiated with pertinent documentary evidence, but I believe it to be my duty and yur duty, under our oath of office, to submit proof of those who "fly in formation with the wild geese,” and noisy disclaimers to the contrary will not refute the fact that he, she or the organization is subversive at heart if time after time they are found flying in formation with others who teach, preach and follow the communistic line. -7«
