...been at the Navy's Bethesda Hospital for three weeks with a bad throat; he had needed extended vacations in the last few years. For his place, if he were forced to quit, the dopesters had many candidates: Henry Wallace, Sumner Welles, Ambassador Winant, Under Secretary Stettinius.

Apparently the U.S. State Department intended to speak for the hemisphere...
