"Mr Duff Cooper's position is not meetain, but it is possible that he may he involved," says the paper. "It is believed that more than once he hus expressed
dissatisfaction at the
Ministry's position."
Meanwhile, Mr Arthur Krock, Washington correspondent of the "New York Times" deplores the Iack of co-ordination between Whitthall and Washington la the handing of Betish publicity with which is hoped to stimulate the American war effort.
