| Summary/Abstract |
ON AUGUST 26, 1936, the American press was abuzz with the news that William Bullitt, the first U.S. ambassador to Moscow, had returned to Washington before the end of his tenure. The New York World wrote that the critical situation in Europe required an experienced diplomat to serve as ambassador to the Soviet Union. The Baltimore Sun took up the refrain, stating that the appointment of a new ambassador was a serious problem, keeping in mind the role of Russia in European affairs and in light of America's traditional interests in the Pacific Ocean.
