See also Gellman, Irwin F., Secret Affairs: Franklin Roosevelt, Cordell Hull, and Sumner Welles (Baltimore, 1995)Google Scholar. The scandal was not reported in the mainstream press but was widely known in the department and in Washington. According to Assistant Secretary of State Breckinridge Long, “There is a lot of talk about Welles’ departure being on account of difference in opinion about policy. That is not the case. The trouble was purely and simply that Welles was accused of a highly immoral bit of conduct, that Bullitt became advised of it, and spread the story. … Bullitt is a person without honor. … I have known him a long, long time and know him well but I have never had any confidence in him. …The lurid story has been circulating for months.” Breckinridge Long Diary, 29 August 1943, Long Papers, Library of Congress, Box 5, folder 3 (emphasis mine). For Bullitt’s stature in European affairs, see Kaufmann, William, “Two American Ambassadors: Bullitt and Kennedy,” in The Diplomats, 1919–1939, ed. Craig, Gordon and Gilbert, Felix (New York, 1963), 655Google Scholar: “Bullitt was something more than the American ambassador to France. He acted as both a roving emissary … and the informal inspector-general of the Diplomatic Service. He was in contact communication with the President”; cf. Gellman, Secret Affairs, 122–23, and Norman Davis: [Bullitt’s] feelings are so strong on certain subjects as to prejudice and becloud his judgment. I have had several responsible persons tell me that for the past year he has been quietly conveying the impression that he is the spokesman for the President in Europe. … It is a tragedy and a disgrace that American representatives abroad do not pull together as a team for their country.” (Davis to Hull, 3 April 1937, Cordell Hull Papers, Library of Congress, Box 41, folder 98A.)

15. Harold Ickes reported Bullitt’s views in February 1940: “Greatly to my surprise, I found that Bullitt does not want to go back to Paris [from Washington]. He would like to have a job here but it would have to be a big one. … One reason that Bill does not want to go back is that he is carrying such a heavy responsibility. He said that the French consult him on everything and do everything that he suggests. He speaks of Daladier in high terms but some of this may be due to the fact that Daladier does accept his advice so readily. … Bill thinks the war is about to break out in an aggravated form. … He doesn’t believe that Germany will invade either Holland or Belgium. … He believes that French pilots are by far the best. The production of planes in both France and England is way under Germany. … This is his explanation of the apparent reluctance of Germany to do much in the air against France and England.” The Secret Diary of Harold L. Ickes, vol. 3, The Lowering Clouds, 1939–1941 (New York, 1955), 132–33. See also Bullitt to Jane Ickes, 16 October 1939, Harold Ickes Papers, Library of Congress, Box 26, folder 16.
16. Bullitt had expressed interest in being named Secretary of State, Secretary of War, or Secretary of the Navy in 1940. Roosevelt appointed him a roving representative instead, then later as an assistant to Navy secretary Frank Knox.
17. Bullitt’s congratulatory note to Welles betrayed his usual sense of superiority but was cordial nonetheless: “I congratulate you on your appointment as Under Secretary of State. I had hoped that the post would go to Judge Moore … but I am sure you know that you will have my fullest and heartiest cooperation. … I trust that you will be able to find time to write to me occasionally not only about the work of this Mission but also about the European situation in general.” (Bullitt to Welles, 28 May 1937, Sumner Welles Papers, Franklin Roosevelt Presidential Library, Box 39, folder 6.) See also letter (5 August 1938, Box 44, folder 20) from Welles thanking Bullitt for hosting Welles’s younger son, Arnold, in Paris. For Bullitt’s earlier career ambitions, see Brownell and Billings, So Close to Greatness, 34, 189.
18. Of course there was more to it than met the eye. Welles’s longtime friend, the columnist Drew Pearson, who knew of which he spoke, noted, “Inevitably a man pays when he marries a rich wife and Sumner, although he has had great advantages, has paid in the end rather heavily.” (Drew Pearson Diaries, 1949–1959, ed. Tyler Abell [New York, 1974], 37.)
19. Psychohistorians, among whom Bullitt numbered himself following his collaboration with Sigmund Freud on a life of Woodrow Wilson, may find it interesting that both men had deep attachments to strong mothers who died prematurely. See Benjamin Welles, Sumner Welles, 8–9, 18, 119; Brownell and Billings, So Close to Greatness, 17–19, 37–38.

30. Contrary to popular belief, Pasvolsky was probably not Jewish, nor was Bullitt, even though his mother was of Jewish descent. “Memorandum for the Record Re. Leo Pasvolsky,” 8 April 1963, Herbert Feis Papers, Box 23, folder 7; Bullitt to Julius H. Amberg, 21 May 1934: “my mother, unfortunately, was only 1/180th Jewish.

38. Memorandum of conversation with Cordell Hull, 29 July 1943, Bullitt Papers, Box 40, folder 946. Bullitt also noted here that Hull had wanted to assign him to the postwar planning committee but thought it best to wait until Welles resigned. Harold F. Gosnell, “Under Secretary of State Welles, September 1939–September 1943, Draft,” Records of the War History Branch, State Department Lot Files 714, Box 1, folder 5; cf. Long paraphrasing Hull: “Welles thinks so fast and moves so rapidly that he gets way out in front and leaves no trace of the positions he has taken or the commitments he has made, and the Department is sometimes left in the dark as to his meaning and actions. … There are several persons in the Department in key positions whose presence is due to Welles and who act as if they were part of his organization as opposed to the regular establishment.” Breckinridge Long Diary, 15 March 1940, Long Papers, Library of Congress, Box 5, folder 3.

43. The Memoirs of Cordell Hull (New York, 1948), 1:523; cf. Weil, A Pretty Good Club, 81: “Dunn became a surrogate son to his childless boss.” Weil described Dunn consistently as the department’s gray eminence (146ff.).

45. The two groups were meant to be both “related” and “complementary.” Memorandum by Selden Chapin, 20 January 1943, State Department Central Files, RG 59/250 111/875, Box 161, folder 1. Both committees were abolished with the departmental reorganization in January 1944, with all postwar planning placed under the authority of Dunn as head of the new Office of Special Political Affairs. A smaller Advisory Council on Postwar Foreign Policy was retained with the geographer Isaiah Bowman as chair.

48. “This particular moment is indicated for making a really serious effort to have adopted by the principal free countries of the world a declaration of principles with regard to commercial policies, access to raw materials, and financial relationships on the broad and mutually beneficial basis which you have always advocated. … That in all this atmosphere of military operations, propaganda, territorial claims being made by the forces of conquest, the so-called ‘New Order’ being proclaimed over areas which are to be locked up tightly against other areas, there could not be a more impressively encouraging accomplishment announced than a declaration of the adoption of your broad program over the large area now free. … When one considers that that free area is all of North and South America, Australasia, the British Isles, India, and large parts of Africa, it would seem that the adoption of a program which would apply to such a large area would be extremely impressive. … It would also be a source of great encouragement to those in the conquered and controlled areas who are wondering whether it is worthwhile to hold out.” (Dunn to Hull, 24 July 1941, Hull Papers, Box 49, folder 145.)

This aspect of the committee’s work ceased in early 1941.

There was also the “Informal Agenda Group,” comprising, inter alia, Dunn, Bowman, Davis, Pasvolsky, and Myron Taylor, which Hull established in the spring of 1943 in order to marginalize Welles. Another especially active, unofficial postwar planner was John Foster Dulles, who oversaw the efforts of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America. For its influence, see, for example, Dulles to Walter Van Kirk, 13 October 1942, in J. F. Dulles Papers, Princeton University, Box 282.

58. Bullitt’s other pet issue was the creation of a National Security Council–type structure in the White House to oversee foreign policy. The two generally dined alone at Bullitt’s house, but occasionally others, notably Dunn and James Forrestal, joined. See, for example, William D. Leahy Diary, Library of Congress, 12 June 1942, 4 March 1943, 2 March 1946, 18–19 October 1947, reels 3–4. For Bullitt’s relationship with Missy LeHand, see Costigliola, “Broken Circle,” 652ff.
59. Henderson to Bohlen, 6 November 1967, Charles E. Bohlen Papers, Library of Congress, Box 36, folder 8. Richard and Pat Nixon also attended the funeral.
60. Isaiah Berlin to Horace Rumbold, 24 January 1945, Berlin Papers, Bodleian Library, Oxford University, Box 112, folder 15: “[Bohlen’s] general idea, with which I think I agree, is that the Russians have no concrete plans about Western Europe and that anything we present will be seriously considered; with suspicion, indeed, but still taken as the basis for discussion; whereas if we wait for them to speak, or settle everything bit by bit, their suspicions will merely multiple per number of cases for solution, and the aggression will make any set general settlement impossible, if you see what I mean. If this is too obscure, ignore it and ask for his views direct. He is still pretty touchy about Russia, like everyone who has sat there, particularly with Bullitt, but is thoroughly exited about the President’s “Great Design” for a real permanent alliance, thinks the adventures well worth risking since there is no other alternative, and is prepared to be very liberal and bold.” Cf. de Santis, The Diplomacy of Silence, 84–85, and Mayers, George Kennan, 94–97.
61. Given his heritage, there had been some suspicion that Pasvolsky was overly friendly toward the Soviets, a charge that was made worse by the close association of Pasvolsky with two Soviet spies, Alger Hiss and Harry Dexter White. But in Pasvolsky’s case there is no evidence of any treachery.
