Interesting, the US government seemed to do a fair job finding & prosecuting Nazi spies, even in pre-war 1938.

In all the Franklin Roosevelt years, did they ever even look for Soviet spies?

Might we suppose that Soviet spies of the time outnumbered Nazi spies by a factor of, what, maybe 10 to one?

Clearly, Roosevelt even then hated Nazis, had no fear of Communists.

What was J. Edgar Hoover's position on counter-espionage? I thought he kept strict control over how his enforcement resources were used.
