VAL-KILL COTTAGES
HYDE PARK, DUTCHESS COUNTY
NEW YORK
June 1, 1946
Dear Mr. President:
I read in the papers this morning that
Mr. Stettinius's resignation has really
come in and that you and Secretary Byrnes
hope he will reconsider.
I am wondering just what his reasons
are, but in any case, I feel there is no
one who has had his long experience, nor
been as devoted to the ideal of the
United Nations, and if it is possible
for you and Secretary Byrnes to get him
to continue, I think it will keep a
great many of us from feeling that the
cause is a lost cause.
I can not help feeling that we need to
be firm but we haven't always been firm
in the right way in our foreign policy
because one can only be successfully
firm, if the people one is firm with,
particularly the Russians, have complete
confidence in one's integrity and I am
not sure that our attitude on questions
like Spain and the Argentine and even
in Germany itself, has been conducive
to creating a feeling that we would
always keep our word and that we would
always talk things out absolutely

sincerely before we took action. We
are bound to differ, of course, because
U.S.
GOVERNMENT
we have fundamental differences, but I
think these should be made clear, If
at the top there was a complete sense
of confidence and security and the
policies at the top were really carried
on at every level things might go better
Very cordially yours,
Shawer Rosewert
