Foreign Ministers Cannot Oper-

Without License.

Representatives OF foreign govern

he considered guests of the nation,
cannot drive their automobiles on the
public roads OF Virginia without TAX
ing out the license and paying the fee
required BY law. Applications for
permission are not infrenuently .eceiv-
ed at the office OF Secretary OF the
Commonwealth James.
The latest case OF this sort comes
from Francisco ]. Peyhado. minister
from the Dominican Republic to the
United States. He filed his request
FOR Il license, but IT. was unaccom-
panied by a check SO he writes
again. asking why he has not receiv-
ed the license. Chief Clerk Hayes has
replied to the effect that the certin-
cate and number plate will be for
warded promptly upon receipt of the
fee of $50. No doubt Minister Pey-
hado Will be unable TO understand
why he should have to pay 10 operate
his machine in Virginia. especially
when his request bore tile official O.
Is. of the Department of state. But
no; even Secretary Bryan can get
him a license in this State free of cost.
This point was ruled upon several
months ago by Attorney General
Davis. in response to an inquiry from
Governor Mann. The corresponds
appears IN the dnnuHl report OF the
Attorney General. Just made public.
Count Won Bernston, the imperial
German ambassador at Washington,
took the matter up with Assistant

could not exempt members OF the en-

Mr.. Davis ruled that under the law.
tho Governor would have the power TO
relieve citizens or the District of
Columbia from the payment OF these
licenses. provided there were rccip-
rocal agreement by which the Dis
trict exempted Virginians from license
