Close-up of Lord Halifax, British Ambassador to the United States, during his press conference at the Winthrop Hotel. Halifax spoke of his affection for America and of the great job being done by war workers. Impeccably attired in a slate-gray suit, black tie and loganberry-colored handkerchief, the ambassador smoked a briar pipe during his conference. His primary reason for being in Tacoma was to accept an honorary degree at the College of Puget Sound later that day but he also was scheduled to take an extensive tour of the Seattle-Tacoma Shipyards to view escort aircraft carriers being constructed.
