In 1944 the Institute of Pacific Relations, according to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, "disseminated and sought to popularize false information including information originating from Soviet and Communist sources," <ref>US Senate, 82nd Congress, 2nd Session, Committee on the Judiciary, Institute of Pacific Relations, Report No. 2050, p. 223.</ref> published a fifty-six-page pamphlet, ''Our Job in Asia'', which was allegedly written by Vice-President Wallace. "The Russians," the author of the pamphlet claimed, "have demonstrated their friendly attitude toward China by their willingness to refrain from intervening in China's internal affairs." Some years later—after the collapse of the American allied [[Kuomintang]] government to the [[Comintern]] sponsored [[Maoist]] regime and in the midst of the [[Korean War]] which cost 53,000 American lives, on October 17, 1951, Wallace testified before the [[Senate Internal Security Subcommittee]]. Wallace admitted: "It begins to look, for the time being at any rate, that my size-up as made in 1944 was incorrect." <ref>US Senate, 82nd Congress, 1st Session, Committee on the Judiciary, Institute of Pacific Relations, Part V, pp. 1302, 1206.</ref>  Wallace further admitted under oath that most of a book entitled ''Soviet Asia Mission'' written under his name detailing his official trip to Soviet Siberia and China in 1944 had actually been written by Andrew J. Steiger, a person identified under oath as a member of the [[Communist party]]. The Communist party at that time advocated the violent overthrow of the [[United States]] Constitution.  To [[Joseph Fels Barnes]], [[Owen Lattimore]], and Harriet Lucy Moore, all of whom had been named under oath as Communist party members, Wallace expressed his gratitude for their "invaluable assistance in preparing the manuscript." <ref>[http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/6315/yaltabet.html ''The Yalta Betrayal''], Felix Wittmer, Caxton Printers, 1953, pg. 59.</ref>

==Later career and death==

Following the 1948 Presidential campaign, Wallace resumed his farming interests and resided in South Salem, New York. During this period, Wallace made a number of advances in agricultural knowledge, including a breed of chicken that at one point accounted for the overwhelming majority of all egg-laying chickens sold across the globe. The USDA Beltsville Agricultural Research Center is named for him.

In 1950, Wallace supported the United States' involvement in the Korean War.  In 1952, Wallace published ''Where I Was Wrong'' which stated that his prior support of Stalin was based on not realizing the acts that Stalin had taken against the citizens of Russia, so the book took an anti-Communist view. He also supported the re-election of Republican Dwight Eisenhower in 1956.

Wallace experienced the onset of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in 1964. He died in Danbury, Connecticut, on November 18, 1965.
