It is as though the Venona papers never confirmed that Alger Hiss and the rest of them were in fact traitors operating inside the State Department and at other levels of our government. Despite unimpeachable confirmation of the guilt of these leftists, the anti--anti-Communist forces remain ascendant.
When I was a kid a speech by Joe McCarthy in West Virginia electrified and nation with the mere allegation that there were communists in the State Department. The Venona papers proved much of it to be true. Now we have the revelation of spies operating for three decades and one scarcely detects a ripple in the public consciousness.
The triumph of the leftists is complete.
