Changes

After leaving the Communist party, Chambers' politics shifted right. In the late 1930s, Chambers joined the staff of Time Magazine, where he would eventually rise to the position of senior editor and earn a yearly salary of $30,000. While at ''Time'', Chambers became known as a staunch anti-Communist, sometimes enraging his writers with the changes he made to their stories.

In late 1939, after the Soviet Union and Germany signed a non-aggression pact, Chambers approached assistant Secretary of State Adolf Berle and spent three hours detailing what he knew about Communist activity within the United States. In the wake of [[World War II]], Chambers' story was mostly ignored.

Chambers translated Felix Salten's children's book, Bambi, in 1927 while editing at the ''Daily Worker''.  As recounted on page 239 of ''Witness'', Chambers did so because wages on the ''Daily Worker'' were "intermittent and so small." He was asked to do the translation by Clifton Fadiman of Simon and Schuster, and the translation became an instant success, thus making Chambers an established translator.  Chambers also wrote reviews of the early volumes of Arnold Toynbee's ''[[A Study of History]]''.
