Washington, July 9.-The resigna-

consul general to Cape Town, has been

resignation was based on the utter in
adequacy of the salary of the post.
The cost of living in South Africa,
under normal conditions, is exceed
ingly high, and in time of war, such as
prevailed for the past two years, the
$1,000 salary allowed by congress for
the United States consul general would
not defray the cost of maintaining a
family in modest conditions at Cape

eral is the worst salaried consular Of

pointed from Kansas City, Mo. The
