But concerning our embassies abroad I have some personal knowledge. as I served for nearly seven years as secretary of legation at Paris. and I know that we were sometimes obliged to work until 11 oclock at night. The duties of these embassies are really serious and considerable. A matter which I might bring to the gentlemans attention. because he is not perhaps aware of it. is this: There frequently arise in the business of those three embassies questions of personal liberty and personal right touching naturalized and other American citizens. and in dealing with such questions our officials have no limitation of business hours. The whole country would be indignant in case of a neglect of the rights of an American citizen falsely imprisoned or in any way suffering injury in a foreign country. We have millions of foreignborn citizens in the United States.
