it does not bring the confliction that having an
ambassador does. For the purpose of the U.S, I
have always felt that a special representative of
the President gave all the advantages and avoided
the pitfalls which the appointment of an ambassador
or minister brings about.
It is easy to understand this present objection.
The recognition of any church as & temporal power
puts that church in a different position from any
of the other churches and while we are now only hear-
ing from the Protestant groups, the Moslems may one
day wake up to this and make an equal howl. For us
who take a firm stand on the separation of church and
state, the recognition of a temporal power seems
inconsistent.
I write these random thoughts because I am sure
someday someone 1s going to ask my opinion and I do
not vant to say that I think it is not a good idea
without having expressed myself to you beforehand.
I will write you a report on this session before
I leave on the 8th if all is well and finished here.
