Talmadge Lashes
State Department
Atlanta, Ga. — Sen Herman Tal
madge has called for a “house
cleaning” in the U. S. Department
which would oust staffers who
constantly apologize for America.
Talmadge said the nation needs
“men and women who are inter
ested in promoting rather than
apologizing for American interests
and institutions.”
He declared that “entrenched
subordinates in the State Depart
ment” exert entirely too much poli
cy-making power in the depart
ment.
These deputies and clerks are
“responsible for all the Stat De

to obtain relief for American in
dustries which are being destroyed
by unfair foreign competition,”
the Senator said.
