and the subcommittee knows, of great importance at the time White wrote them Although with the lapse of time the necessity for secrecy on these subjects has disappeared But the record which was available to the Truman Administration in December 1945, and thereafter, should have been sufficient to convince anyone that White was a hazard to our government The question which had to be decided at that time was not whether White could have been convicted of treason in court there was ample evidence that he was not loyal to the interests of our country and that is enough Government employment is a privilege, not a right, and we don't have to wait until a man is convicted of treason before we can remove him from a position of trust and confidence' 1953 Cold War Accusations Anti-Communist
