He predicted RusMa woud In-
vade Turkey and and seize the Dar
danelles unless confronted with
force.
He said that what the United
States should do thenceforth was
to make Its own demands on Rus
sia, Including internationalization of
Communist-held waterways like the
Danube and a settlement of Rus
sia's lend-lease debt to this coun
try. And Truman said the United
States should "maintain complete
control of Japan and the Pacific."
Truman's account gives no hint
as to Byrnes' response. But the
impression is Inescapable that the
affair marked the beginning of a
period of Intensifying friction be
tween the President and his secre
tary of state at that time.
Byrnes resigned a year later.
The absence of any word on what
other differences developed be
tween Truman and Byrnes during
the year that followed makes the
bnnk notable for Its omissions as
well as Us disclosures.

On. Oeorgo C. Marshall, then sec
retary of stale, killed off.
Here are the chief points the book
does make about Truman and for
eign policy mailers:
1. When Russia's blockade of
Berlin was six months old, the
President was briefed by his mil
itary chiefs on Sept. 13, 1B48. on
"bases, bombs, Mo-scow, Leningrad
and the like".
Truman wrote afterwards: "I
have a terrible feeling that we are
very close to wur. He nad re
corded earlier that he had made
the decision to stay In Berlin at
any cost although the late Secre
tary of Defense Forrcstal wanted
to hedge apparently meaning to
leave some way out If the Russian
pressure got too heavy.
2. On Dec. 9, ItiSO, a month after
massive Chinese armies struck In
Korea, Truman wrote that the na
tion faced a Jittery world and con
fided: "I have worked for peace for
five years and six months, and it
looks hke World War III la near."
4. In the Byrnes memorandum
of January, 1940, Truman called
for an end to compromise with
Russia and said: "Unless Russia
I faced with an iron fist and strong
language another war Is In the
making. Only one language do they

S. A message to Stalin in March.
1940, sent through Ambassador
Wnllor Bedell Smith at Moscow
said Truman was disappointed that
Stalin had not kept his word to get
Russian troops out of Iran by
March 2. He also told Smith to
"urge Stalin" to visit America.
6. In 1947 Truman wrote Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt that he had
been trying to carry out her late
husband's policy and that he had
been surprised at Roosevelt's pa
tience In correspondence with Stal
in. 7. Also In 1947 the President not
ed: "I can't agree that because
Russia violates treaties we should
follow her example and do the
same thing."
Like many others, Truman had
his early troubles with the State
Departmen). After telling how Ed
ward R. Stcttlnius. his first sec
retary of state, had photostated
and presented to the President in
May, 1945, a copy of the Presi
dent's own markings on a policy
paper. Truman wrote: "Evidently
some of the State Department boys
believe nobody, not even the Presi
dent of the United States , . . Must
make changes." Stcttlnius was suc
ceeded by Byrnes a lew months
later.
