Mr. Willkie's Duties On Coming Tour
Rec. 6.30 p.m. Washington, Aug. 22. President Roosevelt said Mr. Wendell Willkie's intinerary would include China, Russia, Egypt, Arabia, Palestine, Syria, Turkey, Iraq and Iran. He will act as the President's special representative. His principal task will be to tell the truth about the American war effort and ihe unity behind it and correct erroneous impressions abroad that American production is not all it should be. President Roosevelt expressed the opinion that as leader of the minority party Mr. Willkie's words would carry very great weight. He had been asked to convey to the nations a comparison of what would happen to them if the Axis won or if the United Nations won. The President declared that the heads of some Government departments were talking too much, and he directed all Government administrators to refrain from public debate on controversial questions of policy and to cease criticising each other. The President said such airing of divergent opinions in the public Press was being seized upon and exploited by their enemies.
