been inclined to take rather n humorous
view Of this commission. They have inti-
mated that TO set UP Looinis, with his we'll
ventilated record at Caracas, an an ex-
pert and tender critic Of American dplo-
macy is something like n screaming
farce. But It is only fair to say TINT
LOOMS, having been so recently lnvesti-
gated himself, should be thoroughly In
position to understand the latest and

Our European agents should remember,
too, that Paul Jones stood LOOMS with

Mr.. Rooscveit's concept of a square
deal to every man is somewhat blurred
by his singular inability to see any faults
in his friends. In sticking by his friend
LOOMS In his hour of public disapproyal
he undoubtedly proved the sincerity OF
his friendship. In sending him abroad
on double-headed and delicate mission
doubtless he was merely giving LOOMS
what he considered "a square deal" But
was it altogether Il square deal to Amcri-
can diplomacy? was 1t "a square deal
to old Paul Jones?

that there was nothing crooked about
this mistake, only error in the appica-
