Willkie is going to the Near East and Russia to tell those countries the truth about the Am- erican war effort and unity be- hind it. The President made this state- ment to the newsmen at a con- ference and said that in addition to Russia, Willkie’s itinerary will in- clude Egypt, Arabia, Palestine, Syr- ia, Turkey, Iraq. He said the best thing to call Willkie is “special representative of the President” since he will carry letters not only to various Americans but also to officials of otht countries includ- ing Josef Stalin.
