Description
Separate Foreign Services in Dept. of Agriculture and Commerce have presented problem, hampered U.S. in conduct of foreign relations, led to friction between departments, in Washington and between men in the field, and to inefficient and costly duplication of effort; President approved yesterday plan recommended by Depts. of State, Agriculture, and Commerce whereby Foreign Services of the three Departments would be consolidated into that of State; plan to be submitted to Congress next week; an editorial in the [Philadelphia] Ledger appearing shortly after might be helpful in preventing thoughtless adverse criticism of the measure; sending memorandum covering main outline of plan.
