SummaryResumen

The *Washington Daily News* reported on the diplomatic elevation of missions between the United States and seven Caribbean and Central American nations, including the Dominican Republic and Haiti, from legations to full embassies. Under reciprocal agreements, the respective ministers were elevated to ambassadors, leaving Canada as the only Western Hemisphere mission remaining at ministerial rank. Latin American diplomats gathered in Washington to celebrate the confirmations and exchange congratulations.

*The Washington Daily News* reseñó el acto solemne de jerarquización institucional por el cual las misiones mutuas entre Estados Unidos y siete repúblicas centroamericanas y antillanas —entre ellas la República Dominicana y Haití— fueron elevadas de legaciones a embajadas de primera clase. Conforme a convenios de reciprocidad, los respectivos ministros pasaron a ser embajadores extraordinarios, quedando Canadá como la única sede diplomática continental que conservaba rango de legación. Los dignatarios hispanoamericanos se congregaron en Washington para festejar las acreditaciones e intercambiar salutaciones de estilo.

What a world in which wel

the U. S. decided, with the five

republics of Central America,

Haiti, and the Dominican Republic, to exchange ambas

sadors instead of ministers. Soooo—the works went thru

yesterday. James B. Stewart, one of the men longest in

our own foreign service, was confirmed by the Senate.

When he leaves shortly for Managua he will be the first

ambassador in history to go from Washington to that

capital.

And by reciprocal action youthful Leon De Bayle will

than any lesser salutation. It’s about true.

ONLY ONE MINISTER NOW

On this whole vast Western Hemisphere there remains

from this side of the world!

republics were on hand yesterday to congratulate their

popular host and to receive good wishes themselves.

"No, I'm still just Maria Recinos to my friends,” laughed

pretty Senora de Recinos, wife of the Guatemalan Min—,

no. Ambassador, when I greeted her as "Madame I’Am
