Threat of Communism to National Security
人们常把共产主义描述成一种 存在于美国以外的意识形态或信念。
在美国以外的某个地方。
请问您，先生， 这些共产主义颠覆活动对我们的国 家
安全构成了多么严重的威胁， 如今在美国境内？
今天？
嗯，我认为它们很严重。 我认为这是一个
我们应当继续
呃，给予，呃，高度重视和关注的问题。
我们应支持，呃，美国已通过的法律， 以便
保护我们免受，呃， 那些企图从内部摧毁我们的人侵害。
保护我们免受，呃， 那些企图从内部摧毁我们的人侵害。
我们应支持，呃， 司法部所作的努力
以及联邦调查局，而且
我们应该时刻保持警惕。我认为， 如果美国正在维持一个
美国境内强大的社会， 我认为我们能够应对任何事情。
内部威胁。主要威胁 来自外部，并将持续存在。
因为我们在世界各地都面对一个 铁板一块、
冷酷无情的阴谋集团，
它主要依靠秘密手段
来扩大其势力范围，
以渗透取代入侵，
以颠覆取代选举，
以恐吓取代自由选择，以
夜间游击队取代白日 军队。
这是一个征调了
庞大人力和物力资源来 建造一部
紧密结合、
高度高效的机器的体系，
它结合了军事、外交、 情报、
经济、科学 和政治行动。
它的准备工作被掩盖， 而非公布。
它的错误被埋没，而非登上头条。
它的异见者被噤声，而非受到赞扬。
没有任何开支受到质疑。没有任何谣 言 被刊登。
没有揭露任何秘密。 它进行冷战时，简言之，
采用的是一种战时纪律，
任何民主国家都不会希望 或愿意与之匹敌。
然而，每个民主国家
都承认国家安全所必需的限制，
问题仍在于这些 限制是否需要得到
更严格的遵守
才能让我们抵御这种攻击， 以及
公然入侵。

Communism is so often described as an ideology or a belief that exists somewhere other than in the United States. Let me ask you, sir, just how serious a threat to our national security are these communist subversive activities in the United States today?
Well, I think they're serious. I think it's a matter that we should continue to, uh, give, uh, great care and attention to. We should support, uh, the laws which the United States has passed in order to
protect us from, uh, those who would destroy us from within. We should sustain, uh, the Department of Justice in its efforts and the FBI, and we should be continually alert. I think if the United States is maintaining a strong society here in the United States, I think that we can meet any
internal threat. The major threat is external and will continue. For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence,
on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted
vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific, and political operations.
Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned. No rumor is printed. No secret is revealed. It conducts the Cold War, in
short, with a wartime discipline no democracy would ever hope or wish to match. Nevertheless, every democracy recognizes the necessary restraints of national security, and the question remains whether those restraints need to be
more strictly observed if we are to oppose this kind of attack as well as outright invasion.
