We have the Conspiracy Act of 1861. and we have the Smith Act under which the 11 Communist leaders were jailed. an act which could be employed against other Communist subversives. Furthermore. all foreign agents are required to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Presumably this applies to Communists. inasmuch as they are agents for Russia. In addition. of course. we have our immigration laws. some good espionage laws. and the Governments loyalty program. We are not unprotected from the communistic menace at the present time. I am aware of the fact that we must make compromises in almost every type of legislation.
