...Byrnes had continued to stand for patience with Russia while Vandenberg stood for firmness, U.S. policy might have been paralyzed by division.

...bear fruit after a year of frustration and delay in the making of the peace. After the New York adjournments Byrnes left for a well-earned vacation. The Cleveland speech will be his first since the New York sessions. It will also be the first time that Byrnes and Vandenberg have ever appeared together before the general public; the audience will be large - for the final session Mayor Burke has afforded use of Cleveland's big Public Auditorium (seating capacity...
