arrived here this morning from his
post as Ambassador to Berlin, would
be assigned to the State Depart

Wilson would take up duty as a
consultant as soon as he returns
from a conference over the week
end with President Roosevelt at
Warm Springs, Ga.
Mr.. Wilson's duties will be to
advise State Department officials on
German affairs, Mr.. Welles added.
Although no further information
was given. it was indicated this
action might be preliminary to Mr..
Wilson's permanent transfer from
his Berlin post.
Decision Is Delayed.
Indications at the State Depart
ment are that the decision whether
he shall return to Germany has not
yet been made and probably will
not be made for several weeks.
1t is probable that German AM
bassador Hans Dieckhoff, who sailed
this week for Berlin, will not return
until MIR. Wilson's status is clarified.

Ambassador for more than an hour.
To Go to Warm Springs.
Mr.. Wilson said later he would
arrive in Warm Springs late tomor-
row evening to report to the Presi-
dent, and that his plans thereafter
were uncertain.
Asked if he intended to spend
Christmas in the United States, he
smilingly replied:
Il have no plans after seeing the
President. It's all up to him."
Mr.. Wilson indicated, however, he
would come back to Washington for
further conferences and await the
Presidents return to the White
House.
Following his conversation with
Mr.. Welles, the envoy began swift
round of conferences with leading
State Department officials. He con-
ferred with James c. Dunn, State
Department political adviser, among
others.
Talking with reporters, the Am
bassador declined to make any state
ment about conditions or the situa-
ton in Germany.
