Harriman Return From Soviet Trip Probed in Review
Washington confirms W Averell Harriman may return to the United States from the Soviet Union. The ambassador faced numerous unreported “slaps” from Moscow, affecting policy signals and signaling a tough, aggressive diplomacy as he reports on the second front and Soviet aims. Also noted is Peru’s dean of diplomats Manuel de Freyre Santander and a curious exchange over republican sentiment in Washington. Additionally, questions arise about who financed Wallace’s address to the American Business Congress and the role of small business organizing during the era.
