...Yelling on the Fairground." Blum was helped not a whit by Foreign Minister Georges Bidault, who tactlessly made explicit what everyone knew was implicit in the Blum mission-the contention that unless France got U.S. aid she would likely turn to Communism. Said Bidault: if France does not get a big loan "we would almost inevitably be compelled to organize our economic policy in other directions." The world knew "other directions" meant Moscow-ward...
...London and Moscow would accept. Vishinsky was willing to drop his charges against Britain-provided that this Russian retreat was not mentioned in the Council's official resolution. Bevin took a long, hard look at the record, decided it spoke for itself, and withdrew his demand for an explicit "not guilty."

There, the reiterated refusal of the U.S. to recognize "any government imposed upon any nation by the force of any foreign power" was all too clear to the Russians. Elsewhere, in focal Germany, in restive Asia, words and numbered paragraphs which seemed explicit enough to Americans at home would seem vaguely general to the Russians, Britons, Chinese, et al. trying to evaluate them, and to the U.S. officials charged with applying them. Still needed were clear directives, clearly integrated actions to make the policy intelligible at the point where it must work...
