Armour May Be Named Envoy to England
Associated Press reports Norman Armour, veteran diplomat and US ambassador to Argentina, is a candidate for the British ambassador post. With no London envoy after the Marquess of Lothian’s death, President Roosevelt may name Armour soon, potentially succeeding Joseph P. Kennedy who resigned last November. Kennedy recently attended Lord Lothian’s funeral and has since returned to the United States. Armour’s extensive postings include Japan, Russia, and Europe, and his experience in Argentina’s economic ties with Britain is viewed as advantageous for the London role. Kennedy visited Washington from Florida for routine matters after returning from the funeral.
