The Russians Often Took Advantage

Yet The Whole Preamble Of The Second Authorization Act For The Marshall Plan Showed The Direction Congress Was Ready To Take About Breaking Down Barriers Within Europe.

Roosevelt Was Determined To Stop Stalin From Taking Over Eastern Europe. He Thought They Finally Had An Agreement On Poland. Before Roosevelt Died, He Realized That Stalin Had Broken His Agreement.

As Far As The Russians Were Concerned, I Felt The Reverse; They Had Adequate Gold, If They Wanted To Buy, And They Weren't Dependent Upon International Trade. I Felt They Were More Self-sufficient.

I Think Stalin Was Afraid Of Roosevelt. Whenever Roosevelt Spoke, He Sort Of Watched Him With A Certain Awe. He Was Afraid Of Roosevelt's Influence In The World.

Americans Wanted To Settle All Our Difficulties With Russia And Then Go To The Movies And Drink Coke.
