Description
Joseph E. Davies, American Ambassador to Belgium, Dec. 26 was named by President Roosevelt as a Special Assistant to Secretary of State Cordell Hull to handle war emergency problems and international trade questions. Davies, who will assume his new post on or about January 10, is shown all smiles in New York Dec. 26 when he declared that "Keeping out of the war is America's emergency problem." The 63-year-old diplomat will retain the rank of ambassador until a new envoy to Belgium is appointed and sworn in.
