457 AMERICAN
CONSULS SERVE
NATION ABROAD
Director Wilbur J. Carr Shows In
Report How Service Of officials
is Benefit to Government.

Washington, March "details of
how the 457 American consuls now
in the service OF the state depart
ment are gathering information,
extending protection. enforcing
American laws and exerting Amer
lean influence" in more than 400
cities of SO countries are set forth
by Wilbur J. Carr. director of the
consular service, in the first issue
of the American Consular Bulletin,
monthly published by the Amer
lean Consular association. an I'M
official and voluntary organization
embracing most of the members of
the consular service OF the United
States
There is probably no class of
officers of the government whose
functions are less correctly under
stood by the public than consuls,"
says Director Carr. ITO one man
a consul is merely a wiser Of pass
ports; to another the word consul
signifies a fortified travelling sales
man charged with the marketing of
American goods in foreign lands
Many a mother knows the consul
only as a good and kind friend in
a PARKWAY land who found and
sent her hayward son back to the
old home in the United States.
ut would hardly occur to any Of
these individuals that their contact
has been with an organization of
trained officers, an organization
employing $500 men and women,
costing about $4,500,000 annually
and returning to the treasury of
the United States in the year 1921
the sum of $500 900, thus showing
net profit to the government for
that year of more than $4,000, 900.
Neither would it occur to them
that the members OF that organiza-
ton were serving daily 10 depart
ments and numerous Independent
establishments of the government
in Washington, and. through them,
directly or indirectly, many thou
sands of individual citizens through
out the country"
Handle Many Cases.
In support Of that statement. Di-
rector Carr recites how American
consuls handled 4S,07S cases in
VOlVlng the pFOteCtlOn ana WeiIare
