According to “The Venona Secrets”, Roosevelt’s 2 closest associates, Harry Hopkins and Laughlin Currie who lived in the White House, were both Russian spies. When the Roosevelt’s discovered that the Army Signal Corp was monitoring Russian spy dispatches, they ordered the practice stopped. Fortunatley, the Signal Corp ignored their order. Read Roosevelt’s second bill of rights which was his post war aim.

I did not know this about Hopkins but then I don't know very much about Hopkins at all except that he is very fulsomely praised by Churchill in his war volumes.

Of course VP Wallace was almost certainly a communist and that is the main reason the party bosses forced Roosevelt to accept Trueman as a substitute. Evidently Roosevelt was so sick or so arrogant in his belief in his own powers and immortality that he was indifferent to the possibility of his death and the consequent importance picking a proper vice president. He was either so sick were so indifferent that gave the party bosses Truman.

Can you imagine if Wallace had inherited the presidency and the atomic bomb just as Russia was sweeping toward the channel? Against whom would he have used the bomb? So if we now add Hopkins to Wallace and do not forget Alger Hiss standing behind the Roosevelt shoulder at Yalta, we have something that would make any good McCarthyite like me very nervous.
