The White House has released the following statement by President Roosevelt: "I have asked the Vice-Pre-sident of the United States, Mr. Wallace, to serve as messenger for me in China. He is taking with him Mr John Carter Vincent, of the division of Chinese Affairs of the State Department, Mr. Owen Lattimore, deputydirector of the overseas branch of the 0.W.1., and Mr. John Hazard, chief liaison officer of the division for Soviet Supply of the' Foreign Economic Administration. “Eastern Asia will play a very important part in the future history of the world,” said Mr. Roosevelt. “Forces are being unleashed there which are of the utmost importance to our future peace and prosperity. The Vice-Presi-dent, because of his present position as well as his training in economics and agriculture, is unusually well fitted to bring both to me and the people of the United States a most valuable firsthand report. “For the time being nothing more can be said of certain aspects of the Vice-President's trip. Suffice it to say that he will be visiting dozens of places which I have long wanted to see. He left today and will report to me upon his return, which is expected about the middle of July.
