Description

Some months later, Robert M. McKinney, the chief of the U.S. delegation turned in an official report on the General Conference. Vedeler's letter was more candid, but the final report gave more comprehensive coverage. On the Soviet role, they were "in general restrained in their political efforts and ... presented the appearance of a reasonable delegation willing to consider a compromise on certain points at issue." On Cole's election as Director General, the Soviet "decision not to oppose [it] was generally greeted as a statesmanlike act."
