THE WHITE HOUSE
architector
behavior,
Sept. 16, 1946
This Wallace affair is very embarrassing. Wallace asked for an appointment.
I had no idea what he wanted. We discussed his trip to Mexico and he told that
conditions were good there since Padilla had congratulated Aleman on his election.
Said the Soviets were sending in a lot of money for propaganda and that the Com-
muni st Labor leader was getting it. Said that Aleman wanted to come to see me
and that he also wanted Josephus Daniels to act as a special envoy to the inaugu-
ration.
Then he pulled a typewritten speech from his pocket and asked me to read
it. I saw then that I was up against something. It was on our relations with
Russia and Britain. One sentence said that we held no special brief for Britain
and no special brief for Russia but wanted to be friendly with all alike. I re-
marked that that is the policy we are pursuing and he remarked he would say that
was the administration's policy. There were one or two things in the paper which
I
thought were a little wold but I didn't interpret them as contrary to the general
policy.
Wallace and I have always been friendly and I am sure he is not unfriendly
to me, and I don't think he would want to put anything over on me. If the speech
had been made by anyone else anywhere else it would have attracted no attention.
Then my statement at the press conference that I had read and approved the speech
