While the date has not definitely been set, Mr. Eden will probably leave here for Washington by air the early part of next week, the date of his arrival depending upon the route taken which has not yet been determined. He will be accompanied by Sir Alexander Cadogan13 and probably by Oliver Harvey, Mr. Eden’s private secretary, and by Gladwyn Jebb, Chief of the Economic and Reconstruction Department at the Foreign Office. Mr. Eden plans to remain in the United States at least a fortnight, after which he may spend a day or two in Canada.
