BETTER CONSULAR SERVICE
SECRETARY ROOT MAKES PLEA
FOR REORGANIZATION OF
7dAT DEPARTMENT.

Washington, Dec. 14.-Secretary Of
State Root attended the meeting of the
senate committee on foreign relations
during the day. He discussed the bill
introduced by Senator Lodge providing
for the reorganization of the consular
service. It is understood that the Isle
Of Pines treaty and the treaty relating
to Santo Domingo were considered
briefly.
The secretary OF state asked that
the consular service be classified and
the president authorized to assign
members OF the classes proposed to
such posts as the interests OF the serv-
Ice require instead OF having appoint
ments made for specified posts. The
creation OF an adequate inspection
service and the abolishment Of the fee
system was recommended by Secre-
tary Root In accordance with the rec
concentrations made by President
Roosevelt In his message to congress.
This would necessitate material In
crease In salaries at consulates where
the fee system has been followed. An
Increase In working forces was asked
for, the secretary saying that at .
number Of foreign posts there are not
sudicient employees for the perform
ance Of duties imposed by the immi.
grafton laws. The need Of suitable
quarters for embassies and legations
was emphasized by the secretary, who
declared that the poor accommoda-
lions provided detract from the re-
spect to which the diplomatic repre-
sentatives OF this government are en-
titled. Secretary Root also asked the
committee to make provision for the
creation OF the post Of minister to the
|new kingGom Of Norway.
