f° ( L 1950 eratic Christian world and the Communist atheistic world? Unless we face this fact, we eball pay the price that must be paid by those who walt too long. Bix years aro. at the tima of the firat con- ference to tap out the peace—-Duombarton Oeks—there was within the Borlet orbit 180,- 000,000 people. Lined up on the antitotall- terian side there wer® in the world at that time roughly 1,625,000,000. people. Today, only 6 years later, there are 800,000,000 peo- ple under the sbeolute domination of Boviet Russis—an increase of over 400 percent. On our side, the figure bas shrunk te around 800,000,000. In other words, in lem than 6 years the odds have changed from 9 to 1 in our favor to 6 to 6 against us. This indicates the swiftness of the tempo of Communist victories and American defeats tn the cold war. As one of our outstanding historical Ggures once said, “When am great democracy ie destroyed, it will not be because of ene- Indes from without, but rather because of enemies from within.” The truth of this statement is becoming tarrifyingly clear as we see this country eaéh day losing on every front. At War's Gd we Were Physically the st eet nation on earth and, at least potenigalls, the most powerful intellectually and morally. Ours could have been the honor of being a Deacon in the desert of dest¥uction, a shin- fing living proof that cifilization was not yet ready to destroy itself. Onfortunately, we have failed mixerably and tragically to arise t the opportunity. The reason why we find ourselves in @ posi- - tlon of impotency is not because our only fpowerfu) potential enemy has sent men to invade our abores, but rather because of the traitorous actions of those who have been treated so well by this Nation.

This Is glaringly true in the State Depart- ment. There the bright young men who are born with silver spoons in their mouths are the ones who bave been worst. Mr. LODGE. Mr. President, wil) the Senator yield? Mr. McCARTHY.

When the Benator casts doubt on the pergonne] of the State Department that, of 52, is aomething which interests me very es- pecially. Inot only fee! that there should be no Communists in the State Depart- ment, but that there should be nobody in the State Department who is not af- firmatively, enthusiastically loyal to the United States and what it stands for, eee Bee Ses Woes Se ee Therefore I say to the Senator from Wia- consin now, that so far as the junior Benator from Massachusetts is con- cerned, he will at the earliest appropriate opportunity make a motion to have a subcommitteé of the Foreign Relations Committee take up every single one of the accusations which the Senator from Wisconsin makes. Mr. McCARTHY. I was hoping the Senator would. Mr. LODGE. I make that statement at this point, when the Senator from Wisconsin is beginning to speak about No. 35-—18 + ge ee CONGRESSIONAL RECORD—SENATE the Btate Department, because I think that I for one have a special responsi- ’ bility in thet fleld. “and red-penci! anything = Mr. McCARTHY. In case the Benator from Massachusetts is not able to re- main and listen to all of my remarks. Mr. LODGE. I cannot remain and listen to the whole of the Senator’s speech, because I have another engage- ment, but I shall read it all in the morn- with the utmest care. f=_ B25 £2 SET TT. aoe the Gane “ELL. SAUL FIER SDE, 20 GESE LOE Ge tor must leave—and I say it will take me a jong time to conclude, tf I continue to have the interruptions I have previously had—I should like to call attention to three of the cases which I intend to cite: Case No. 1, case No. 2, and case No. 61. Those, I think, represent the big three. While there are vast numbers of other Communists with whom we must be con- cerned, if we can get rid of those big three we will have done something to break the back of the espionage ring Within the State Department Suehss Mele Se aero I might say also, “in case the Senator will not be present to hear me, that in giving the records J have been very care- ful about doing two things: No. 1, not to cite anything which has not been con- firmed by the intelligence agencies which have been investigating these men; and No. 2—and this I think is very important—I have tried, and I hope suc- cessfully, to red-pencil anything that might be embarrassing to any investi- gating agency. I know it is easy to call for files, and when I call for a disloyalty file I do not mean that I am calling for the soqurce of information. I do not think ghy intelligence agency can work and do a good job if the Senate or the House, or any other body is entitled to make public the source of the informa- tion. The files which I have here show the source of the information. I con- tacted one of the Federal intelligence agencies, one of the investigative units. I asked ‘them if they would care to go over what I have to say ore I say it, which they thought might in any way divulge the source of information, that would in any way inform the Communist spy ring of the information they have. The answer was, “Well, you have gotten all of it from the Btate Department files, and the Pe ee tebe meet 2 Th mee es WK CALLUS ee WEL WE LA LE see those files, and I wil] show you which Commies have the top-secret clearance, so if they have seen it, it does not do much damage for the Senate to see them.” Mr. LODGE. Let me ay to the Sen- ator from Wisconsin that I am not un- dertaking to say whether he is right or wrong. I have no way of knowing that. What I say is that the matter he is dis- cussing is of such vital importance that I think it ought to be investigated by & Ee te ee iam Thm WAL LRAPEEILELILVEE 071 UIT Of Le Pore Bags c= lations Committee. Mr. McCARTHY. Mr. President, I may with my whole heart, I hope I am wrong. There ia nothing as disturbing as is this picture. But if I am wrong. I shall be very happy indeed to Know that an. , 2045 Mr. LODGE. I say to the Senator that I shall do 41] I can to leave no stone unturned to get to the bottom of the matter. Mr. LUCAS. Mr. President. will the Senator yield? Mr. McCARTHY.: I cannot yield any . further. : Mr. LUCAS. Perhaps I can save some time. The Senator from Wisconsin in his discussion with the Senator from OY ee eee eS eee a — a oe MaAssachusetis said that he fas & wns speech and had to read it. If the Sens- tor will answer my question, perhaps we can save some time. Mr. McCARTEHY. I cannot yield at this time for the Senator's question. I eannot yield for that purpose until I complete the speech. : Mr. WHERRY. Mr. President, wil) the Senater yield? Mr. McCARTHY. I yield to the Ben- ator from Nebraska if I do not lose the floor thereby. Mr. WHERRY. Mr, President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senator may yield to me without losing the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? The Chair hears none, and it is so ordered. Mr. WHERRY. Mr. President, I do not want to interrupt the proceedings. Iam perfectly willing to cooperate with the majority Jeader in every way. But when I Jook around the Senate Chamber T see only two or three Senators on the other stde of the aisle, and half a dozen on this side of the aisle. The matter seems to me to be of such importance--—- Mr. LUCAS. The Senator from Ne- braska and I are present. . Mr. WHERRY. Yes: but I believe more Senators should be present. I be- Heve more Senators should be on the fioor to hear this statement. I do not want to interfere with the majority leader's Program, but I ask him if we cannot take &@ recess at this time, or, if necessary, have a quorum call to bring Senators back to the Senate Chamber so they can hear tha enserh healing mada he the Dene _ aS! tt EPeceo Sag Gade OF toc Scua- tor from Wisconsin. It seems to me the oniy sensible thing to do at this time Is to take a recess or have a quorum call. Mr. LUCAS. AsTI look around the Sen- ate Chamber I see about as many Sena- tors present as I usually see present when & speech is being made. Last Friday we discussed the creation of a Smali-Bus!- ness Committee all afternoon, and at times only 3 Senators were present. The resolution then before the Senate was a very important one.

Very well, if the Ben- ator from Hlinois feels that way. Mr. LUCAS. I am perfectly satisfied to ait here and lsten, Mr. WHERRY. Perhaps the majority leader is, but I say that a very important speech is being made. Terrific cliallenges are being hurled. I am perfectly willing to stay until 9 o’clock. but I submit to the majority leader that I fee] more Sen- ators ought to be on the floor if the Sen-
