Kenneth on Edward Stettinius, Undersecretary of State

Stettinius, Edward R. (Edward Reilly), 1900-1949

The Secretary of State at that point was ill, so Undersecretary of State Edward Stettinius ran the Department. Kenneth tells how Stettinius once spoke at the same occasion as Margaret, the two of them having written books, and of how openly disgusted he was to learn that she was married to Kenneth, who was beneath his notice. Nevertheless, he had to deal with Kenneth on a daily basis, because it was a small department, with only eight officers to run all of East Asian affairs. Kenneth was the only officer on Southeast Asia
