I don't know if it is in her book but Truman in his oral biography published 40 years ago, says that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt referred to Joseph Stalin as Uncle Joe. Truman implied that Roosevelt thought of Joe Stalin as if he were a blood relative.

Truman said Stalin often got Roosevelt drunk at meetings. Truman said Stalin always drank vodka. At the Yalta meeting Truman picked up Stalins glass and tasted it.... Truman said it was plain water.

There was much spin put on the close relationship between Churchill and Roosevelt, but by examining in the conflicts between Churchill and Stalin you will see how often Roosevelt came down on the side of Stalin... That is some confirmation of Roosevelt's underling status to Stalin.

Roosevelt used the media "Drew Pearson" to take down General Patton. Roosevelt would not tolerate any statements against Stalin and Communism. Patton certainly recognized the threat posed to us by the Soviet Union. But Truman also bought the spin of ("can't we all just get along") Dean Acheson. Truman called the case against Alger Hiss a read hearing. When Acheson was Secretary of State under Truman... many referred to Acheson as the RED DEAN. It was Acheson who told the world we did not care about Korea... That stupid statement lead to the Korean war and 50 thousand American deaths.

Nearly all of the Soviet Spies were recruited and placed in our government during the Roosevelt administration.

I think Roosevelt like many who are born to riches and power they did not earn, are very attracted to a system of enforced equality. They espouse a system in which they could not even exist. Jane Fonda is an example. Who believes her movie success is because of her dad Henry Fonda. The funny thing is such people do indeed embrace the Communist ideal, but never want to give up their own wealth, power, or fame.

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt referred to Joseph Stalin as Uncle Joe.

Theodor Giesel (Dr. Suess) was an admirer of Stalin and Vyacheslav Molotov as well. Giesel mocked Martin Dies and HUAC.

Truman didn't go to Yalta...he remained in the U.S. Having both the President and the Vice President absent for several weeks in the middle of a war wouldn't have been very prudent...and one torpedo could have made Sam Rayburn President. Or would it have been the Secretary of State (Stettinius) in this era?
