A little over a year ago a, Canadian Royal Commission startled people in both Canada and the United States by issuing its famous "Blue Book" on alleged spy activities in Canada. Of the twenty-six people accused of subversive acts nine have now been completely exonerated, five were never brought to trial, two have vanished and are wanted by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, seven have received sentences totaling thirty-seven years, and the cases of three are still before the courts. Though they were declared not guilty in a court of law, their reputations have been damaged. The nine persons who were exonerated have attempted to return to their normal way of life but have met with discrimination and prejudice.
