...reading the record of Welles' career: highly praised but abortive plans for peace conferences in 1939, polite missions to the Axis leaders, "lucid and well-informed" reports on the Munich crisis. It is a kind of tragic record of the death throes of personal diplomacy. A man of wit, fore-night, honor, and good-will was totally incapable of deflecting a catastrophic course of events.

...future President implied that Quemoy and Matsu were not worth defending. Doubts rose higher after the inauguration, when the State Department leaked out hints of such possible diplomatic moves as a new "two China" policy and recognition of Outer Mongolia; U.N. Ambassador Adlai Stevenson seemed to surrender be fore the battle when months ago he spoke of Red China's admission to the U.N. as being inevitable. Recently, Formosa's dismay over U.S. diplomacy rose to such a degree that Ambassador Everett Drumright was summoned home for consultation. At his advice, the White House arranged for last week...
