Admiral Emm? S. Land who is both defense coordinator of shipbuilding and chairman of the Maritime Commission, will direct the program.

Why is it necessary for Hop kins to go to London now when the President plans to name a new ambassador next week? The comparison between Hopkins and House stemmed primarily from the fact that both were close friends and political advisers to the presi dents who entrusted them with se cret missions. House had been the close politi cal supporter of Wilson at the 1912 Democratic convention and, eschewing public office, had served in any capacity Wilson wished in helping to shape some of Wilson progressive legislation.

As early as May 1914, House went to Europe to dis cuss with leading statesmen the possibility of preventing the World War wnicn tnen tnreatenea. Hopkins has been an energetic supporter of the President since before his first nomination. He helped shape early policy. He became prominent as a political ad visor only at the last convention when he managed the third term renorrunation. Mr.

Roosevelt emphasized that IT would not be the new bassador to Great Britain, the post recently vacated by Joseph P. Kennedy. Recent developments have indi cated that Mr. Roosevelt may hav felt that the United States needed ri reporter in London. Some observers speculated on whether Hopkins might visit the Eire government to convey the United States interest in developments there.

Hopkins plans only a short visit possibly no more than two weeks. Observers Denevea tne new am. bassador would be a seasoned diplomat both because of the delicacy of the situation In London and because Britain named Its foreign minister. Lord Halifax, as ambassador to this country. A survey of the field, however, Indicated that few diplomats of such calibre and standing will be easily obtainable.

While Under secretary of State Sumner Welles was mentioned, the need for his services at home, particularly to handle Latin American Affairs vital to hemisphere defense, was believed too great. William Bullitt, who resigned as ambassador to France, is believed definitely out of the dipolmatic service. Norman Armour, ambassador to has been mentioned but best informed sources indicated he would remain on his present assignment. Anthony J. Drevel Biddle.

ambassador to Poland, and John A. Cudahy, ambassador to Belgium, now are in this country.
