After TORCH, relations between British and American intelligence were some what strained. Hoover tells Stevenson that his request for information about subversion wasn't answered and blamed it on Communist sympathizers. At this time, Soviet spy Kim Philby worked at British Intelligence in a sensitive position. Hoover knew something was wrong but did not know what. Stevenson also knew that things were being sabotaged in London. Philby's purpose was to force a wedge between the BSC and the OSS.
