AMERICANS TO GET OWN.
Congress to Be Asked to Displace
FOREIGNERS in Consulates.

The question of supplanting with Amer
lean citizens The great number of foreign
ers who hold positions in the consular
service of the United States will be taken
up with Congress at its next session. The
State Department will ask for an addi-
tional number of consular assistants to
take the places of the men owing allie
glance to other countries. These for
eigners are employ ed as clerks, and some
times occupy the relation of vice consul.
The custom of bringing foreigners into
the service has grown up, 1t is said, be-
cause of the impossibility Of securing
Americans for this clerical work far
away from home, with ms sximum sal
airy limitation of $1,000.
With greater number Of consular as
sistants appointed by competitive exam
nations, who would be eligible for pro-
motion right up through the line of the
consular service, II is believed that the
situation can be met In some cases the
foreigners in the service are also mer-
chants in the towns to which they are ac-
credited. Officials of the State Depart
mentpoint out that this seems rather in
oongruous in view of the fact that the
primary object of the consular service is
to promote American trade.
