It seems obvious that methods to catch spies must be tempered with some of the same tactics that spies use to evade capture. The excitement and furor that would be created by any mass roundups. or by sensational methods directed against those who for the most part are innocent. lawabiding. and valuable residents of our country. would only furnish a cloak to cover up any failure to perform properly the job of apprehending spies and violators of various defense statutes. Our country cannot possibly be endangered by any opinion. expressed or unexpressed. by citizen or noncitizen. We cannot and have not ever legislated against the holding of opinions. for our Government rests on a sound foundation of freedom of speech and thought. This is taught every school child in every schoolroom in America.
