President Roosevelt would like Acting Secretary of State Bacon to meet with Fathers Kelly and Callahan, who have just returned from a trip to South America. Kelly and Callahan have reports about the ministers, ambassadors, and consuls in various countries. Although the ministers are respected, they believe the consuls are “a poor lot,” except for Consul George E. Anderson of Brazil.
