edge Of international law and foreign
usages. There is a strong sentiment
at Washington in favor of promotion
from lesser to more important posts
in the diplomatic service of men who
show capacity for such work. Among
the promising young men among U
representatives in other countries Is
Huntington Wilson, who has been ap-
pointed United States minister to the
Argentine Republic and who has for
the past three years been third assist
ant secretary of state. He is In con-
sequence quite familiar with the pol
icies of the late head of the depart
ment, Elihu Root. In respect to cult
waiting close relations with Latin Amer
lean states. Argentina has become in
recent years a very enterprising. pro-
gressive and well governed country.
1t is u long time since there has been
any serious rupture of the peace. The
last time that this was threatened, In
the case Of the boundary dispute be-
tween Chile and Argentina. hostilities
| were averted through the successful
efforts as an arbitrator of William l..
Buchanan. then minister from the
United States to Argentina. The only
| war cloud that hovers In the sky in
| that quarter now is the one caused by
| the rivalry between Argentina and
Brazil over naval ornaments. The
trade of Argentina Is very valuable,
and 1t Is considered extremely impor-
tant that the United States should get
a fair share Of 1t. Altogether the man
who assumes the post once held by
| Mr.. Buchanan has tasks of no small
consequence on his hands. The Argen-
tine people have the best of feelings
toward the United States and look to
citizens Of the great North American
| republic for help In their solution Of
the many problems Of self government.
