Mr.. Carr believes that in the last
analysis Americas future as well

viewpoint. depends upon the es-

them interchangeable, permitting
able consular officers to become
readily diplomatic officers. Under
this plan, ambassadors would be
sure to be trained diplomatists of

In his testimony before the House
