IN the bill introduced by Representative Sherley Of

technical.
The first amendment provides in substance, that
receivers in bankruptcy proceedings shall

and that creditors shall notice of all applica

OF the case, and. further, that they object
only when authorized at meetings Of creditors. and
that false mercantile statements, II made to the
trade and relied by the creditors, shall be

other amendments are merely those OF practice and
administration of the law.

THE FOREIGN SERVICE
PURPOSE OF INQUIRY.
Dir. Lodges Project Endorsed By
Messrs. Taft, Knor and Root.


Washington Feb 1.-THE broad purpose be-
hind the amendment to the diplomatic and con-
sular appropriation bill which was introduced
by Senator Lodge Thursday. appropriatng
$4,000 to defray the expenses Of commission
of three Senators and three Representatives to
investigate the foreign service Of the United
States. has now been made known to Senators
generally. Not only has this step the hearty
approval of the future Secretary of State. Mr..
Knox. but IL is also part of a project OF ex-
Secretary Root, and Will have his support as
Senator from New York
Mr.. Root has communicated to members Of the
Committee on Foreign Relations interest
ing facts regarding the foreign service Of the
United States and has explained that only the
urgent necessity OF devoting the greater part OF
his time to bringing TO a successful issue nego-
tiations which had been pending for months.
and in some instances for years prevented his
undertaking its general reorganization.
Mr.. Root has become convinced that in order
to obtain the best representation It will be neces
sary to make the diplomatic service practically
a permanent vocation for asplrants for high
honors. He believes that there should be
system Of developing candidates. with the assur-
ance that capable service will insure promotion.
He realizes that It will be necessary to obtain
the cooperation OF Congress, and to that end
he thinks that members OF Congress should go
abroad and see for themselves the difficulties
with which every Secretary of State must con-
tend under the present system. He maintains
that If the right men chosen for the pro-
posed commission. his successor will enjoy their
hearty cooperation in his efforts to develop the
service along lines of practical efficiency. ana
that the needed legislation Will be much more
easily obtained
Mr.. Knox will assume the portfolio Of state
with the same convictions Mr. Root. and with
determination. has been indicated in these
dispatches, to weed out the inefficient and to
make appointments always with an eye to adj
vancing the standard of the service, and he will
be rejoiced If he can far obtain the co-opera-
ton Of Congress to insure the enactment of
the neces sary legislation. The President-eIect
is in thorough sympathy with this movement.
and with the Chief Executive, the Secretary of
State and the new Senator from New York who
has had wide experience in that office. working
together there is reason to look for material
Improvement of the diplomatic and consular ser
vice during the coming administration.
