THE PRESIDENTS SECRETARY.
He Must BE a Diplomat, and HE POSI-
tion 10 Not an Easy One.

The duties Of a secretary to a presi-
dent Of the United States are not con-
siGered at all secondary in Importance
to those OF a cabinet officer. He is thu
man who first meets the thousands OF
visitors to the president. He must know
just whom the president desires to see
or should see without bOthering the
president These visitors come from
all parts Of the United States on all
sorts OF missions. some important. but
mostly Of q very trivial character. and
they come bringing all sorts OF letters
OF introduction from all sorts OF people.
Were the president to see all these
folks he would not have time for any
thing else. and the secretary must win
now the wheat from the chat and
send the chaff away actually delighted

ed States senators and members Of the
house OF representatives with myriad
axes 10 grind. He must be a diplomat
with the most famous diplomats Of the
world when they call at the White
House to take up the time OF the presi-
dent Indeed. it has been often said in
Washington that the presidents secre-
tary must be as much OF a diplomat rs
any member Of the diplomatic corps il
he is to be OF substantial value to his
chief.
Again. the secretary must have rela-
tons with the hundreds Of correspond
ents who represent the great newspa-
pers OF the country. Public opinion 10
nodded by these correspondents, and
they are keenly affirmative In their
characteristics. In their ambition 40
serve their newspapers they alwa.rs
know exactly why they visit the White
House. Frequently matters are not
exactly ripe. and it is one duty OF the
presidents secretary to parry the Incl
sive u probing questions OF these
alert correspondents. This must b
done smilingly and in good form.

THE
 MARCONI SCANDAL

London, June 13.-The proceedings of the parliamentary committee inves- tigating the Marconi scandal are pub lished in detail. They include the draft report proposed by Lord Robert Cecil, leader of the anti-government- al members of the committee. The draft report stated that while no minister or government official had been. influenced in his public duties by any interest in the Marconi under takings, those concerned had acted with grave impropriety. The draft report was negative by eight voted against six.
 Unionist public opinion describes the committee reports as 'whitewash'. The Unionist press and public are showing great resentment against Sir Edward Carson and Frederick E. Smith, two of the Unionist leaders, for having associated themselves with ex- oneration of the cabinet ministers by acting as counsel for Godfrey Isaacs, managing director of, the Marconi Company, and brother of Sir Rufus Isaacs, in the recent libel suit against Sir Cecil Chesterson.
