| Description | World War II cartoon shows former Ambassador to the Soviet Union William H. Standley bidding farewell to the new ambassador Averell Harriman who is about to board the "Moscow Clipper." Standley warns that "ambassadors should be seen and not heard." Standley, an admiral and former Chief of Naval Operations, had discomforted his superiors in the State Department with his disdain for instructions limiting his discussions with Russian officials and his candid and forceful way of talking. He finally resigned in May 1943 and was replaced by Harriman who was known for his diplomatic tact and had been serving as President Roosevelt's personal representative in London. |
