DIPLOMATS AND CONSULS
THE BRITISH SERVICE LABOUR SEEKS OVERHAUL LONDON, June 10. One of the most vital debates at the Labour Party’s conference at Bournemouth is due on Wednesday, when Mr Bevin will reply to critics of his foreign policy, says the Evening News. Mr Bevin is likely to agree in principle to the rank-and-file demands that the men and women appointed to offices abroad should be more sympathetic to Socialist doctrines than many of the present ambassadors and consuls. Seventeen resolutions have been tabled by local parties, seeking in one form or another a thorough overhaul of the diplomatic and consular service. “A ‘black list’ of men in the foreign service whose records damn them in the eyes of the more progressive elements of the Labour Party has been brought to Mr Bevin’s notice,” says the Evening News. “If Mr Bevin concedes this issue, he is assured of a blank cheque for his policy.”
