DIPLOMATIC TROUBLES
LAID TO WILSON ILLNESS
Ambassadors Here, Unable 70 See
President, Placed at
Disadvantage

The manifest disorganixation Of the
American diplomatic service abroad,
coupled with the inability Of foreign
diplomats here to see President VIII
son for conferences on important
matters, are explained here as being
due entirely to the continued illness
Of the Chief Executive.
The presence OF ambassadors in
Washington, however. who do not see
the President. and cannot hope to
see him for some time, places the en-
voys in a distinct disadvantageous
position, as their rank entities them
to an audience with the President
whenever they desire one.

ton that now prevails. 1t gives the
names Of a number Of ambassadors
