President Roosevelt plans to appoint American diplomat Henry White as Ambassador to Italy after March 4 and the beginning of Roosevelt’s new term of office. He asks White to petition the British Foreign Office to send Cecil Spring Rice to the United States for a week, as he would like to be able to make his position regarding the Far East clear. He does not feel as open with British Ambassador H. Mortimer Durand as he does with Spring Rice.
