CONSULAR SERVICE
The consular service is now organized
under the provisions of a law passed in
1856. which is entirely inadequate to ex-
listing conditions. The interest shown by
the country in the reorganization of the
service is heartily commended to your at
tention. Several bills providing for a new
consular service have in recent years been
submitted to the congress. They are based
upon the just principle that appointments
practical test of the appl icants fitness,
that the promotions should be governed
by trustworthiness, adaptability and zeal
in the performance of duty, and that the
tenure of office should be unaffected by
partisan considerations
The guardianship and fostering of our
rapidly expanding foreign commerce, the
protection of American citizens resOrting
to foreign countries in lawful pursuit of
their affairs, and the ma intenance of the
dignity of the nation abroad, combine to
make it essential that our conSulS should
be men of character, knowledge and en-
terprise. 1t is true that the service is
now, in the main, efficient but stand
ard of excellence can not be permanently
maintained until the principles set forth
congress on this subject are enacted into
law.
