| US senator and governor, born in Providence, Rhode Island, USA. A lawyer by training, he went on to work in the financial sector (1912–27).

He went on to a long career in the US Senate (1937–61) and made his major mark with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee (1938–59), serving as chairman (1957–9).
