These, he warned, would require the creation of a federal police force of mammoth proportions, would result in a "police state" and an "informer" psychology-"neighbors spying on neighbors, workers spying on workers, businessmen spying on businessmen, where those who would harass their fellow citizens for selfish and narrow purposes will have ample inducement...
