...free world may at times forget it, but the Communists have proclaimed, * and tirelessly pursue, the tactics of exploiting differences among the non-Communist nations. In one area, they have been nota bly unsuccessful ; Anglo-American unity, the rock on which the free world's alliance must stand, is not vulnerable to such tactics. Nevertheless, during the period of the Labor gov ernment, some serious cleavages did show themselves in dealings between Britain and the U.S. The important overall achievement of Winston Churchill's mission to Washington was to arrest and reverse the process of rift...

The disunity, in turn, is a result of careless and unskillful politics, not of any irreconcilable differences of U.S. and British policy in the Near and Middle East. When Acheson and other U.S. leaders sit down with Mossadegh, they can plead, as they did last week, for patience and good will on the specific question...
Bundy thought Churchill, working with his war-time colleague, Eden, would do better than the Labourites in foreign affairs. Churchill's popularity in the United States would be particularly good for Anglo-American cooperation, and differences such as those over Iranian oil or recognition of Peiping would probably not arise. But Bundy thought sections of the Republican Party here had shown "bootless ignorance" in thinking they now had "one of their own men over there...
