Despite the protests of military officials, Hopkins demanded that the American government give the [[Soviet Union]] a large amount of uranium as part of the Lend Lease program. On a diplomatic trip to the Soviet Union in 1945, he shunned the American position of free elections for [[Poland]] and told [[Stalin]] that America’s goal was actually to have a post-war Poland that the Soviet Union was comfortable with.  Earlier, when a Soviet government official defected, Hopkins unsuccessfully urged Roosevelt to return the man to the [[USSR]] even though he knew that it would mean the man’s certain death.

Roosevelt biographer John T. Flynn remarked of Hopkins, "Men of high intellectual and spiritual caliber soon make themselves disagreeable to rulers who want abject subservience in their subalterns. They soon find the atmosphere of the court repulsive. They either depart or are dismissed. In the end, the only ones who remain are men of the type of Hopkins. ...one by one the abler men with some sense of personal dignity who were unequal to the role of [[sycophant]] drifted away ...The palace guard that survived were such men as Harry Hopkins... [[David Niles]] and [[Henry Wallace]]... men who were not interested in policy but only in discerning Roosevelt's pet mental drifts." <ref>''Roosevelt Myth'', Flynn, Book 1, Ch. 6.</ref>
