is any guy who has money but

a guy who works for a living in
legitimate enterprises or con-
ducts legitimate businesses. A
sucker may be a professional
man, a doctor, lawyer or jour-

But l intend TO give him a

ROOSEVELT be.

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT be-
i came his own secretary Of
state after the retirement OF
Cordell Hull.
This was clearly understood
when the team headed by Mr..
Stettinius took over the actual
operation of the state depart
ment.
No member of that team is
of the caiiber of John Hay,
Elihu Root. or Charles Evans
Hughes and I am sure that none
pretends TO be.
It is not expected of them
that in the formulation Of policy
or the maneuvers for its imple-
mentation they will achieve the
heights of the classical figures
of our diplomacy.
Mr.. Roosevelt apparently pre-
ferred TO handle the foreign
policy of his country himself
and under our system of gov
ernment, that was his preroga-
tive. as il was Woodrow Will
sons.
The state department team
therefore was merely an or
ganizational arrangement TO
support a president who was
his own secretary of state.
UNFORTUNATELY, this par
~ ticular arrangement does
not serve because Mr.. Roosevelt
died.
Mr.. Truman has not had OPP
portunities for sonal fa-
miliarization with the problems
and processes of international
relations, and the team, with
out its coach, is not of the
strongest to function inde-
pendently.
True. Mr.. Stettinius has
strengthened it somewhat by
adding John Foster Dulles as an
adviser. l recently looked at a
list of the Americans who had
something important to do with
the Paris peace conference at
the end of the last war and I
found such names as Bernard
