5. The object which 1 have in view can, I think, be best promoted along
four parallel lines, as follows :—
(a) Just as I have myself issued instructions to His Majesty’s Missions
as to the manner and matter of their reporting on politico-
economic subjects, so should the Heads of Missions issue
corresponding instructions to all the career consular officers under 1
their superintendence (with the exception of those to whom
direct instructions have already been sent, as explained in
paragraph 2), indicating the kind of information which they
wish to receive and the form in which it should be supplied.
(b) Heads of Missions should further arrange for annual, or, if
required, more frequent, visits to the respective capital by all
superintending consular officers whose posts are within
reasonable reach, and by such junior salaried officers as may, in
the opinion of the superintending officer, usefully be present.
Heads of Missions must decide at what time of year such
gatherings should take place, and whether all the consular officers
indicated should or could attend at the same time.
(c) Members of His Majesty’s missions should be given every encourage
ment, when the stress of work permits, to keep in personal
contact with His Majesty’s consulates by visits on convenient
occasions.
(d) If safe opportunity is available, His Majesty’s career consular
posts should receive regularly the Foreign Office print of the
country where they are located, including especially the annual
reports from the missions, and, in some cases, print relating to
other special subjects or other neighbouring countries.
G. These four points appear to me the four necessary steps to adapt
the machinery of the services to modern conditions and to develop their
potentialities.
7. As regards (a), I do not propose to His Majesty’s missions any
particular guiding line for the instructions to be issued to consular officers.
That is a matter which must be left entirely to the head of each mission, as
general conditions and the problems requiring elucidation vary in every
country and every district, and the missions are best qualified to know what
material they most require. In some cases it may be political where the
district plays an important part in the political life of the countrv; in others
