MR SUMNER WELLES.
RUMOURED RESIGNATION,
NEW YORK, August 25
“Well-informed circles disclose that the Under-Secretary of State (Mr Sumner Welles) handed a letter of resignation to Mr Roosevelt before the President left for Quebec,” says the Washington correspondent- of the New York “Herald-Tribune.” “Acceptance is a matter of course, since the Secrete ly of State (Mr Cordell Hull) demanded a show-down.
“The latest rift between Mr Hull and Mr Welles was over Russia, Mr Welles favouring greater collaboration, which is not acceptable to Mr Hull. Informed circles point out that this situation is closely linked with Mr Litvinov’s recall to Moscow.”
