Stettinius Lifted To Presidential Field With Roosevelt Nomination
Roosevelt's selection of Edward FR Stettinius Jr for secretary of state boosts him as a potential 1948 Democratic presidential candidate. If confirmed, the 44 year old undersecretary would lead American foreign policy and oversee postwar international cooperation, shaping a possible run if Roosevelt does not seek another term. Hull’s resignation and brief note on pending staffing changes frame the transition as Stettinius prepares to continue key policies and advance the World Peace organization effort alongside allied powers.
