Description
Ambassador Stanton Griffis sits at his desk, smoking a pipe, in Warsaw, Poland. The plaque on the wall behind him reads, "Above all things, a regard for the American tradition is required. The topical American readiness to assist those in need of help, to discount vicious propaganda and outrageous criticism, and in the end to seek only to do what is right. So far as we can determine the right. George C. Marshall, Secretary of State, October 13, 1947." The flag of the United States of America is beside him on the left.
