Mr. Brendan Bracken has achieved something very consider in persuading

Mr. Harold Butler, the former Director of the In national Labour Office, to go to America as head of the Bri Information organisation there. The need for someone of first rank to put that essential machine in order has been ap for some time, and no better appointment than that of Mr. B can be imagined. He knows America well, he is an adrIm speaker, quiet and convincing, and having been in this country Regional Commissioner, as Warden of Nuffield College, and recently as collaborator with Sir William Jowitt in the prePara of reconstruction plans, since war began—he will be able to Americans what they seem to want to know most, the extent which the social structure of this country is being modified by war. His advent will substantially and most opportunely men the personnel of the British Embassy at Washington.
