REFORMS PROPOSED
Reconstruction Of Foreign
Services
AIMING AT EFFICIENCY Rec. noon. LONDON". Juno 11. It is authoritatively stated that the Government has decided to introduce reforms for the creation of a combined Foreign Service, embracing the Foreign Office and diplomatic and consular services, and separated from the Home Civil Service, with the highest posts open to all members. The reforms aim at encouraging the entry of men without private means and encouraging efficiency by permitting the retirement, on pension, of men who have shown themselves unsuited for higher posts. It is considered that Britain needs a foreign service of exceptional efficiency, if her diplomacy is to be as effective as it should be. It is also considered that the reforms will make British diplomacy more representative of Britain as a whole.
