Philippines as bringing much
nearer an ultimate landing on the
China coast.
In an atmosphere that was the
most hopeful in weeks, the Chinese
expressed belief that already the
Japanese operations in China
might have been affected. For
example, they said, the japanese
apparently were keeping the bulk
of their strength in reserve in
Changsha, Hengyang, KWeilin and
Liuchon so they could move east
towards the coast, rather than
hurting these forces westward
against the Chinese.

HOPKINS PREFERS
PRESENT POSITION

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16. - up -
Harry L. Hopkins wants TO sta.
put.
The mystery man of the White
House feels he is handling war as
signments of surprising impor
lance as chairman Of the Anglo
American munitions assignment
board and special assistant tt
President Roosevelt.
He doesn't want to become g
diplomat, therefore, even though
It would insulare him against some
Of the criticism which has been
his lot. He doubts his boss will
give him a chance, any way.
Yet there has been considerable
talk about prospects of Hopkins
going to London, either as ambas-
sador or as a personal represen-
tative of the president. Some of the
talk has centered among persons
who had an idea that so many
brickbats were hurting his way
that he might like to duck out to
Europe.
Among the latest heaved in his
direction:
Stories that he alone of all White
House officials could reach the
president by telephone.
Statements ty Senator Chand-
Ter D-Ky) that Hopkins was the
man to ask for inside information
on six new nominations for top
state department jobs. Chandler
called them Hopkins nomina-
lions"
But friends of the slender presi
dental helper have been told that
criticism doesn't bother him much
any more-he's used to it; he's
willing to take it as long as he
thinks he can be useful to the presi-
dent.
Hopkins will concede that con-
gress would rise and cheer en-
masse should he quit tomorrow
though associates say he believes
he could convince most legislators
he is not a sinister influence on
government.
But he has no more intention of
telling them now he operates, who
he sees, what he does, than of de-
scribing his activities on billboards.
The mystery pertains principal
~ to his operations as an assis-
tant to the president. In general
way what he does as chairman of
the Munitions Assignment Board
is known. He and the board try
to figure out what munitions are
going to be needed, and where
and when, by the various Allied
fighting forces. Then they attempt |
to guarantee delivery on time.
So far as his none too robust
health is concerned, Hopkins tells
associates he is feeling better
than at any time in ten years. He
has had repeated sieges with doc
tors and surgeons. Earlier in the
year he was away from his desk
for months, and during the time
had another major operation.
