...Russia, so far, has not actually rejected the principles of Teheran; it has qualified them, as her spokesmen probably did when they talked to Messrs. Hull and Roosevelt. On the Russian record to date, the Soviet qualification is that the U.S.S.R. insists on making its own regional position secure before it actually enters any framework of "general security...
...angered many officials in the lower levels of U.S. diplomacy. They in turn have inspired many veiled, semiofficial expressions of irritation with almost every aspect of Russian policy since Teheran.

Washington newsmen heard that the Department looked to the PIR to set matters aright; that the PIR was nothing but a Soviet tool, and therefore suspect. (The sources of this report had apparently not heard about Teheran.) Secretary Cordell Hull conferred for an hour with British Ambassador Lord Halifax, discussing the Bolivian crisis. Obvious topic would be a possible united front against Argentina and her suspected machinations...
