It was pointed out further that the for- eign rolicy of this country is fash- ioned by Byrnes as secretary of state, and that Wallacé went out of his way to try to soften ‘state- ments Byrnes had made about this country’s attitude toward Russia. As the speeches were diametric- ally different, critics snid they were unable to determine how the President had approved each of them beyore it was delivered.
