MINISTERS MAY Be PROMOTED
Spain and Argentina Plan to Raise

II Is Understood Secretary Knox Is

II is understood in this city that before

Neither country would be likely 10 take
this step unless the State Department
signified its willingness. Whether Sec
retary Knox will accede 10 the desires OF
the two countries Is a question.
In the case Of Spain. there would
probably be no objections from this gov
ernment, but with Argentina the case is
different. Ever since Brazil sent an am
bassador 70 the United States. Argentina,
and Chile have wanted 10 do likewise. IN
order that their diplomatic representa-
tives IN Washington should not be out
ranked by the representative from Bra
zn
The State Department has never been
inclined TO encourage the sending Of am
hassadors from the South American re-
publics, and most officials think Brazil
should have been discouraged. II a coun-
try raises its mission here from the rank
Of legation 10 embassy. it is necessary,
according 20 custom. 70 raise the Amer
lean establishment in that country 10
the same rank
There Is now an ambassador in Rio de
Janeiro. and II Argentina sends an am
bassador IL would be necessary 10 have
an ambassador in BuenOs Ayres. Chile
would probably not be far behind Ar
gentina in raising its mission and that
would place another ambassador on the
American diplomatic list.
There has been some talk here during
the last few days, in connection with the
recall of Minister WI. that the Chinese
government Is planning 10 raise its lega-
ton here 10 an embassy. There is no
official confirmation Of this report. and
officers Of the government are not IN
clned to believe 1t.
II China should send an ambassador
here the United States would have a
man OF equal rank in Pekin. with the
usual right Of personal audience with the
sovereign. In the eyes of the Chinese
the character OF their ruler Is such thae
II is not likely that they would make
It possible for foreign representatives 20
see him upon demand.
