London Paper Raps Choice of Whitney as Ambassador
The London Telegraph editorializes on John Tay Whitney’s appointment to succeed Winthrop Aldrich as ambassador to London. It notes that Washington favors trained professionals for top posts but often assigns “complete amateurs” to the most important postings due to social attractions. The piece cites Kennan and Bohlen as contrastive examples and recalls past American envoys who later rose to prominence, arguing Britain cannot complain about American appointees in London.
