HOMELESS
Joseph H. Choate tells the story of how he was approached one wet, wintry night on one of London’s lonely streets by a policeman.
“I say, old chap,” called the “bobby,” “what are you doing walking about in this beastly weather? Better go home.”
“I have no home,” replied Mr. Choate. “I am the American ambassador.”
This story is repeated in a pamphlet issued by the American Embassy Association, whose purpose is to promote and encourage the acquisition by the United States of permanent homes for its ambassadors in foreign capitals.
