Call On the President.

The delegates called in a body this af
ternoon at the White House. There the
President addressed them. After greet
ing them he said:
Il need hardly say that our one chance
for getting the consular service put on
a really effective basis lies with just such
organizations as this. | appreciate that
the consular service should be In its es-
sence a part of the general scheme of
business development of the country.
Il have not / am sorry to say, been
able to persuade people thus to look
upon even such question as the Santo
Domingo treaty which is purely nom
partisan measure; for IL it was treated
as it should be, purely on its merits, there
would not be one shadow of opposition
to or criticism of It,"
After predicting that progress would
soon come in the consular service, the
President said
"One point let me dwell on. You cannot
expect to get permanently good service
when that service is unattractive and i'll
paid We have had a great deal of diff
ficulty with our consular service In
China. II came partly because men were
appointed for political reasons with scant
regard to their qualifications, partly be-
cause men found themselves in remote
eastern ports where there was not much
that made life attractive, where there
was very little SUPERVISION over tHenl'
and great temptations. We made pref
ty thorough clean up there. But we can
not keep the service as high as it should
be kept. unless we have adequate sal
aries.
Make the entrance to the service as
far possible nom partisan. and make 1t
at the lower grades so that desirable posi-
lions shall come to those who have rem
dered good and faithful service In the
lower grades and see that those enter
ing the lower grades shall feel that If
they do WELL they have long and worthy
career ahead of them"

WORK To BETTER
CONSULAR SERVICE
Secretary Root Defines Needs
to Convention
CALL ON THE PRESIDENT
Roosevelt Tells Delegates That One of
the Most Important Things Is
to See That Men Are
Better Paid.
CALL ON THE PRESIDENT

Washington, March H-Soon after the
consular reform convention convened to-
day, Secretary Root was introduced. He
assured the convention that the gov
eminent welcomed most gratefully the
interest of citizens in every branch Of
activity. It is not possible, he said. for
the affairs of the government success
fully unless the people take an interest
in them.
Continuing, Secretary Root said the
consular service at present was most
uneven one, having grown out Of the time
when the people We're expending their
energies at home. A great many men
were appointed to the service he contin-
ued, who were good illustrations of the
best quality of American people-strong,
keen, active and intelligent men-fond of
work and DESTROYS of doing good work.
Many other, he said. sought the places
because they were tired of the conditions
under which they were living or had
failed in the business in which they were
engaged or wanted the places in order to
rest or educate their children abroad Thus
he said, there were two classes. The in
crease of wealth of the American people
is showing itself in pushing out in trade
all over the world.
Consuls Have New Duties.
The Secretary said that a new strain
has come ON the consular service and that
every consular officer ought to be an in
terpreter of his own people to those to
whose country he had been sent, and an
interpreter to his own people from those
countries in which he may be consul.
They ought to be giving information to
the people at home of the opportunities
abroad
Continuing, the Secretary said we want
a service manned by men who have not
burned out the fires or the ambitions of
their lives.
The Secretary said Congress was now
dealing with the subject sagaciously and
effectively, he hoped the convention would
give Congress support in it's efforts and
help carry the bill now before that body
through.
The convention unanimously adopted the
following report of the committee on
resolutions:
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1906-03-15
Petition to Congress.

ITO the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America,
in Congress assembled:
Your petitioners, the national consular
reform convention, consisting of accred-
tied delegates from the business organiza-
tions, whose names are hereonto attached
and representing several hundred addi-
tional commercial bodies, respectfully
urge that 1t is of immediate and vital
importance to the commercial welfare of
the United States that our consular SER
vice be placed on a plane which COM
ports with the dignity and the increasing
need of the country
1.-THE rapid development of our agricul-
tural and industrial interests demands
that we acquire a much larger share OF
the worlds trade than that which we
control today.
If the enterprise, the initiative, the
ability and the resources of our people
were supplemented by that assistance in
foreign markets which can be given by q,
body of thoroughly efficient consular rep
resentatives it is UNREASONABLE that it
would facilitate in no small measure the
efforts of the United States to achieve
that prominence in foreign trade which
they have in other directions.
"Unless we have that assistance, how
ever, the department of our foreign com
merce will be seriously retarded TO the
great detriment of our people.
1T is the opinion of the constituent
bodies of this convention that the consul
lar service of the United States should be
reorganized as provided for in the Senate
bill introduced by Senator Lodge.
.''Yuir petitioners regret that some or
the vital provisions of that bill have been
removed from it but they none the less
recognize it as a step in the right direc
ton In view of the gravity of the in
terests involved, they earnestly demand
that the bill be passed at this session of
the Congress"
A publicity and promotion committee
was decided upon. 1t was also decided
to invite every commercial body in the
United States to become member
