Re Young's warning that allegations may come of Schoenman's "misbehaviour" at Helsinki. "As we were not there, we cannot pass upon the accuracy of the reports that you have heard, but the report given us by Mr. Schoenman—in whom we have faith—and the congratulations which he has received from delegates who were at Helsinki, including the Americans with the exception of Mr. Goodlet ... make us think that he was undoubtedly right is standing out for the right of the Chinese and, especially, the Vietnamese to speak at some length, and, particularly, in opposing the American resolution which was at first passed. He acted as he did because he was begged by the Vietnamese to take action which they were unable to do, and he thought that their position was valid." Schoenman is definitely not anti-communist, she adds.
