Diplomats Not Guilty

Diplomats Not Guilty

World Affairs Council is protesting over the expulsion of diplomats without the public being given proof. The Council's Secretary (Mr P. J. Shanly) transmitted the following resolution to the Prime Minister:

"That World Affairs Council expresses concern at the lack of evidence adduced to support the allegations of espionage made against the two Soviet Diplomats who were recently expelled, and that in accordance with elementary principles of justice the Diplomats must be considered innocent until proven guilty."
