STATE DEPARTMENT
BEING REORGANISED. TO FACILITATE CONDUCT OF FOREIGN POLICY. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.20 a.m.) RUGBY, January 16. The American State Department is being reorganised to facilitate the conduct of the foreign relations of the United States in war and peace. The object is to free the Assistant Secretaries and principal officers from administrative duties, so that they may devote the greater part of their time to important policy. Two new committees are to be created within the Department, one on policy and the other on the post-war programme; also an advisory council on post-war foreign policy, headed by Mr Cordell Hull. Messrs Norman Davies, Myron Taylor and Isaiah Bowman are vice-chairmen of this council.
The reorganisation has been expected since Mr Stettinus succeeded Mr Sumner Welles as Under-Secretary. All functions are grouped in twelve offices, four of which deal with Europe, the Far East, the Near East and Africa, and a fifth with special policy.
