Launched as the '''''National Guardian''''' in October 1948 by [[James Aronson]], [[Cedric Belfrage]] and John McManus, contributors included pro-Communist writers such as [[Agnes Smedley]] and [[Anna Louise Strong]]. [[Wilfred Burchett]] was also a significant influence in the ''National Guardian's'' editorial policies. Testimony by [[Elizabeth Bentley]] and confirmed by the [[Venona]] intercepts, revealed that Belfrage made contact with Soviet espionage agents during [[World War II]]. In 1947 the [[FBI]] questioned Belfrage, who admitted to having provided confidential information to the Soviets.
