Early Is Potent Source for News in Washington
Steve Early, once a state department correspondent and now secretary to President Roosevelt, has emerged as a potent source of foreign news in Washington. He holds a ground floor office near the President and holds frequent press conferences with White House reporters, delivering decisive statements and occasional sarcasm, contrasting with Secretary Hull’s cautious replies. Early’s briefing style has drawn larger crowds and sparked remarks about his influence on U.S. foreign policy reporting and even questions about Russian diplomacy.
