THE CONSULAR SERVICE
Bv FREDERIC J. HASKIN.

Americans do the Interpreting both in the
diplomatic and the consular service.
Foreign governments give the American
consular service credit for being alert. &C.
tive and wide awake. The consuls have
done much for the advancement of Amer
lean export trade. Recently Argentina
placed an order in this country for two
battleships, and armament worth S23 Co.,
600. This was due to energetic work by
the consular and diplomatic services. In
conjunction with the State Department.
A good illustration of how a consul NAV
be valuable to American export trade is
given by a consul who wrote the State
Department recently that fifty safes had
been ordered from America. all because
business men in the city where he Is
stationed had seen a new safe which the
State Department had sent 10 the con-
sular office.
When Elihu Root was Secretary OF
State he devoted much energy to the
cause Of consular reform. He objected TO
"the placing OF square pegs in round holes
and round pegs in square holes" He
sought to have appointments and promo
lions made on merit and to transfer men
to those places for which they were most
fitted. Secretary Of State Knox also Is "a
strong believer in promoting the efficiency
of the consular service. 1t is looked on
as great enginery for the extension OF
American trade.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1911-01-31
Large Revenues in
Consular Offices.

Ter OF 1acts the
service is almost self-sustaining. During
the last fiscal year the receipts from con-
sular offices amounted to 81, 76o, 1913. while
the cost Of service was only $l,92S, j61.
Thus the government was only out OF
pocket $166, 42s. From some Of the
large Offices, such as London and Paris.
the fees are heavy. This recalls the fact
that under the old system OF paying con-
suls in fees, the appointees to the more
important Offices waxed afluent. 1t is
not remote In history when the London
consul generalship was looked on as
worth So. 600 to $4,000 q year. The Paris
office was another Office rich in fees and
highly desirable. 1t Is said that the Paris
Office in the exposition years was worth
about $4,000 to the man who was fortu-
nate enough to hold it.
Now the highest salary Of a consul is
$4,000 year. This sum is paid the con-
sui general at the London Office and also
the consul general at Paris. The lowest
salary of consul Is $1,000. This country
maintains upward of 600 consular offices.
OF these, about half are consulships and
the rest agencies. When one enters the
service it is by way of the lower grades.
If one is examined for consul and Is ap-
pointed, 1t Is to be one of class 8 at $1,000
q year. or of class 8 at $2.500 a year.
From such an appointment one may work
up to be head OF the important Offices of
London. Paris, Berlin, Havana, Hamburg
Hongkong, Shanghai or Rio de Janeiro
Consular assistants and student interpre-
tiers. as we'll as deputy consuls, vice con-
suls and consular agents. may also rise
ing certain prescribed examinations.
