State Department Divided On Outstanding Problems
A widening split within the State Department may affect American foreign policy on major issues as Byrnes returns from Paris. Rumors swirl about possible later reassignments, with Alfred McCormack having quit and Will Clayton and William Langer central to future moves. The intra-department clash pits career foreign service officers against newer appointees over how to handle Molotov and the Soviet Union. Byrnes faced divergent expert opinions on Europe’s future, with political diplomats urging firm lines on Russia and Eastern Europe, while economy experts urged unity through Anglo Russian economic cooperation first. Byrnes brought veteran diplomats to Paris, but the session showed no clear consensus beyond a cautious approach to Europe’s broader questions.
