Among these are Burma India, Ceylon, Nepal, Pakistan, Sudan and" Jordan formerly part of the British empire and Cam bodia, 'Laos, Vietnam, Morocco, Tunisia, Lebanon and Syria nations once under French con trol. Iceland formerly belonged to Denmark, Indonesia was part of Dutch overseas holdings, Korea was controlled by Japan, Libya by Italy, and the Philippines were U. S.-governed. Israel was created by the United Nations in 1948. The National Geographic So ciety reported that the great in crease of embassies here 40 since 1945 has been the nat ural outgrowth of America's emergence as a world power of first rank. This increase reflects Washington's position as a mecca of the diplomatic world. Upgrading of lesser-ranking legations to embassies has be come a trend since World War II. An embassy usually is presid ed over by an ambassador who is empowered to deal directly with cihefs of state and foreign ministers. Ministers or charges d'affaires who head legations must deal with lesser govern of ficials. In 1945, the nation's capital with chiefs of state and foreign legations; in 1950, 56 embassies and 14 legations. At present there are 75 embassies and six legations. These six legations represent Switzerland Yemen, Hungary, Romania, Latvia and Lithuania. Switzerland traditionally has no embassies anywhere in the world.
