WOULD KNOCK
OUT RED TAPE
OF CONSULATES
BUENOS AIRES, July 12 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Consul General Rob
ertson was applauded by the United
States Exporters Association of
Buenos Aires when at a luncheon
here, he declared that there should
be but one authority in foreign coun
tries to represent the United States
in foreign trade relations.
The luncheon was given in honor of
Dr. Julius Klein, United States com
mercial attache, who is retiring from
the service. He was asked by Mr.
Robertson to urge on his return to the
United States the necessity of plac
ing the commercial and financial
functions of consuls and commercial
attches under one head. The consul
general declared that they overlapped
and were the cause of confusion and
a detriment to efficient service.
“Business firms are frequently em
barrassed by not knowing the func
tions of each official,” he said, after
paying tribute to Dr. Klien. “They do
not know where to go to. You can
not conceive of a great American bus
iness concern sending representatives
down here to perform the same dut
ies. It would be a waste of effort and
expense. The United States govern
ment should have a central organiza
tion for the performance of all duties
in connection with foreign trade. I
d'' not care whether the functions
are taken away from the consulate
and given to the commercial attache
or whether the commercial attache
is placed under the authority of the
consulate. My only interest in this
is that the work to be done by a sing
le authority and not two.”
