Time is shorter than we thought, Mr. Acheson said. We used
to think we could take our time up to 1952, but if we were right in
that, the Russians wouldn't be taking such t errible risks as they are
now. What they are doing now means that we do not have as much time
as we thought.
When the Secretary of State had finished, the President asked
- the Secretary of the Treasury if he had any comments.
Mr. Snyder assured the President that the Government was in
good fiscal shape to meet any sudden emergencies of financing.
The President asked Mr. Harriman to speak.
Mr. Harriman said he thought that the mood of the free world
at this moment was terribly important. He wished to recommend to
the President that he take immediate leadership in this situation and
that he see that the United States keeps its position of leadership
in the United Nations. Bold acts of leadership on our part are all
the
that can save us and "we must not lose our initiative. He agreed with
the others who had spoken that Europe is the most important area to
concern ourselves with. He hoped that we could get a Supreme Com-
mander "very fast." We should forego some of the details we have
been insisting on and we should get a man over there in a hurry. The
