...would meet this week as one democrat talking to another in an autocrats' world, for Mr. Eden quickly made it obvious that he had come to the U. S. as an apologist for Britain. Personable Mr. Eden had many an advantage for his job. Having quit as Neville Chamberlain's Foreign Secretary because he opposed the Chamberlain policy, he could talk easily to U.

...tall, youthful, handsome Mr. Eden, who resigned as Foreign Secretary rather than try to appease the dictators, it didn't seem cricket to criticize the Chamberlain Government while in this country. But the British Government had bestowed their blessings on Mr. Eden's seven-day visit to the U. S. (which was also his first), and many were the rumors in Britain last week that, if his U.
