...Washington, the State Department had braced itself for a thundering Russian denunciation of the conference and a refusal to attend. Only last week Secretary Acheson warned reporters to expect an all-out Russian propaganda campaign against the signing of the treaty. Moscow has already demanded that Communist China be invited to the conference and has blasted the treaty-draft as illegal, a violation of the Cairo, Yalta and Potsdam agreements, and an invitation to "rebirth of Japan as an aggressive state...
Temporarily out of things, grandfather Foster's turbine actually was just at the beginning of something new. In March 1950, at the insistence of Arthur Vandenberg, Dulles was restored to a position in the State Department. Dean Acheson assigned him to the job of formulating the treaty for Japan, a chore which had been on the back burner for almost three years. The Pentagon was not sure that it ever wanted to see Japan turned loose-at least...
...Washington rumor that will not down bobbed up again last week, with a new twist and from a new source. Secretary of State Acheson will quit before Oct. 1 on the wave of acclaim that is expected to roll out of the Korean truce and the signing of the Japanese peace treaty, reported the pro-Acheson New York Post.

But on Capitol Hill many top Democrats continue to think that Dean Acheson will...
...generals (or politicians) run out of ideas on how to win a fight, they are apt to lean heavily on the hope that the enemy will collapse from some weakness in his own ranks. U.S. foreign policy strategists comfort themselves with just such a hope. Secretary of State Dean Acheson has called Tito's defection from Moscow the most hopeful development in the battle between Russia and the West; what is implied is that Yugoslavia's Tito-and future Titos elsewhere-may do the U.S.'s job of defeating Communism. U.S. policymakers particularly cherish the notion that...
Morgenthau directs his most bitter criticism to appeasement on the home front. "Sometimes Mr. Acheson acts as a great statesman, and sometimes he acts as a member of the Truman administration. Appeasing MacCarthyism domestically does not pay anymore than foreign appeasement does. Acheson operates under political obstacles and does things he can't approve of intellectually. The administration underestimates the people and fails to take them in its confidence...
