The French objected violently to his singleminded, often stubborn determination to put Germany on its feet economically. Germans of all parties considered him too sternly unyielding. The State Department, sometimes slow in spelling out policy, fumed over his penchant for making policy himself. There were constant wrangles with the EGA.

It sounded familiar-almost as though the Russians now had printed forms for these occasions. Wrote Varga: "I formed a whole chain...
...plant elections, and provide for legal machinery less abrupt, than the present injunctions rules. In the Senate, there is some hope of compromise between the Administration bill and a minority proposal drawn up this week by Senator Taft. In both Houses, though, labor forces will have to contend with stubborn opposition from Republicans and Southerners--opposition which is itself past the point of compromise...
