intelligence. In this way the liberty of the 
 
subject has been reconciled. with the security of the 
 
state.
 
          (C) Subversive activities. It is the duty 
 
of the executive towatch through the various in-
 
vestigating departments the activities of all 
 
movements which are or maybe subversive and to
 
recommend whatever action may be necessary from 
 
time to time.  Thus the executive has recommended 
 
action against the British Union of Fascists and the
 
prescription of the organization. The activities of 
 
the Communist party of Great Britain have been closely 
 
watched and their effect on public opinion carefully 
 
estimated.  Official action has been recommended 
 
from time to time and the Executive has been able 
 
to expose the penetration of tof the party into many
 
apparently reputable organizations and in particular 
 
its attempts to undermine the authority of trade 
 
unions, Pacifist organizations have been similarly 
 
watched though it has not been necessary to 
 
recommend any special action.
