Former Commerce Secretary Given Post By Roosevelt; Quit in December To Attend to Private Affairs
Washington, May 1.(AP)-President Roosevelt sent to the Senate today the name of Daniel C. Roper, former secretary of commerce, to be minister to Canada. Roper has been out of office since last December. His nomination to the diplomatic post brought him into a new field of service, although he has been in government work almost continuously since 1894.
When he left the Commerce Department post, later filled by Harry L. Hopkins, the South Carolinian, who has just turned 72, explained he had to give "needed attention" to his personal affairs.
Born in South Carolina, Roper was graduated from Trinity College, now Duke University. He taught school before entering the legislature at 25.
