MR, HOPKINS LEAVING
THE HEART OF BRITAIN (British Official Wireless.) . (Received February 6, 11.30 a.m.) RUGBY, February 5. Within the next few days Mr. Harry Hopkins will leave England for the -:. United States. He has been here one "month as President Roosevelt's personal representative and will take back with him more knowledge of. the inner workings and policy of the British Government and a more accur- •"" ate estimate of the scope of the British ~ war effort than any other visitor. When Mr. Hopkins reports to President Roosevelt there will be few secrets of the War Cabinet that he will not be able to repeat, having, since Janu- • ary 9, attended conferences at Downing Street from which all but a few of the service chiefs are always excluded. • The "News Chronicle" says that Mr. -Willkie will take home with him a " wider and perhaps more detailed picture of the external situation—the face of Britain—and that Mr. Hopkins will know far more about the internal ... situation—the heart of Britain.
