appointment of an ambassador to the Vatican. I
am getting letters on every side as I am sure you
are too and I feel that perhaps I should tell you it
seems to me since we are a Protestant country, we

Vatican. I understand that an ambassador can be
appointed only when you have signed the Concordat,
but it is not possible for a state which is not a
Catholic state to sign. Automatically, if the
Vatican has an ambassador in a Catholic state be

This, in a non-Catholic state would make a very
embarrassing situation. In the case of Great Britain,
they have a minister at the Vatioan for this very
reason because then a minister sent by the Vatican
has the same standing a. the papal delegate and
