HERE is a big story in the air in Washington. In the air is where it is, in spite of all efforts to bring it closer to the ground.

The story is that King George, in Washington asked President Roosevelt to visit him in London and that the President is going to try to do it in the autumn of this year.

It does not take much imagina- tion to see what such a trip might mean--what kind of reception Lohdon would give Roosevelt, how much closer his coming might bring British people to the Ameri- ran people, what influence a visit from the strongest and perhaps the most successful advocate of peace might have on Europe.

Vague and rather woolly hints were being picked up in Washing- ton at the beginning of this week. They seemed to be coming from the Diplomatic Corps. At least one Embassy was understood to have informed its Government that it was probable that the Pre-

"NEPTUNA"sident would make the journey.

It seemed that one way of be- ginning to discover what was in

the President's mind might be to ask him. I therefore requested a colleague in Washington to raise the subject at the White House Press conference,
