Henry Wallace's description of American foreign policy was somewhere between the positions of President Truman and Soviet ambassador Novikov. Wallace acknowledged that America's policy was an attempt to establish and safeguard democracy in other nations. But he also noted that attempts to do so in Eastern Europe would inevitably be seen by the Soviets as a threat to their security, even as an attempt to destroy the Soviet Union.
President Truman's position (as stated in the speech in March, 1947, in which he laid out the "Truman Doctrine"), was that those who supported a free and democratic way of life had to oppose governments that forced the will of a minority upon the rest of society by oppression and by controlling the media and suppressing dissent.

Henry Wallace had been Vice-President of the United States under Franklin D. Roosevelt from 1941-1945, prior to Harry Truman serving in that role. When Truman became president after FDR's death, Wallace served in the Truman administration as Secretary of Commerce. After his letter to President Truman in July, 1946, and other controversial comments he made, Truman dismissed Wallace from his administration (in September, 1946). Truman and Wallace definitely did not see eye-to-eye on foreign policy, especially in regard to the Soviet Union.
