His Critical Repor. OF Coffee
Merchants Was Both Truth
tuI and Effective.

Termillion, S. D.. April L. During
the early part of February an article
appeared In many of the newspapers
20 the effect tina Joseph Sieuatn, class
of %, in the university here, then dep
uty consul general TO no Janeito,
Brazil, had offended the Brazilian gov
ernmen because he had reported that
Brazil has a corner" on sAlf q! the
worlds supply OF coffee. Formal pro
les. was made by hat government 10
the state department at Washington
against what IL called az Contemporaries,
false. and undiplomatic report, and III
was expected that he resignation of
Mr.. Slechta would be requested.
When President, Roosevelt, whc is
noted for his square dealing" looked
into this matter. he decided that the
young deputy consul general was all
III the right. and instead OF tiring
Slechta, the president promoted him TO
full consul general from the United
States to Brazil, at the same time 1:iis-
ing his annual salary from $500 to
IS. COG.
Since the promotion Of Joseph Siech-
tn, reports from Rio JaneirC any that
the coffee merchants in that city have
acknowledged the truthfulness of the
charges made. n hav taken ii apon
themselves to right everything thai wan
wrong before.
