USSR Ex-Aide Accuses Barnes and Lattimore as Our Men
Former Russian general Alexander Barmine testified before the Senate Internal Security subcommittee that in the 1930s Soviet intelligence chiefs referred to Owen Lattimore and Joseph Barnes as “our men.” He said Berzin offered Lattimore and Barnes for intelligence work while he supplied arms in western China in 1933. Barnes, a former Herald Tribune foreign correspondent, later headed the IP R committee roles, while Lattimore was editor of Pacific Affairs at the time. The hearing probes subversive influences on U S Far Eastern policy and IP R activities.
