The change will necessarily include Mr. Ismay's resignation from subsidiary positions, such as the Chairmanship of the White Star Line, but to meet the wishes of his colleagues he has consented to remain a member of the Board of Directors of the International Mercantile Marine Company and of the British Committee.
