Under this provision. whenever any
country wished TO raise its Minister 10
the rank of Ambassador, this govern

in only one instance has the United
States taken the initiative. That was in
the case of Turkey, and che reason was
that il has been impossible for any

bin and the need of such a remedy for
the deplorable situation into which the
schools of Washington have been
plunged
