As a child grows older 1t requires

to them.

months as Solicitor for the State Depart.
ement, overrode the reports and recon-.
mendations- OF every trained Official In the
State Department who had passed on the
Mentally case IN order to report favor
ably on McNally's case.
In the hearings before a subcommittee
of the Commerce Committee, however,
1t was brought out that the exoneration
TO which McNally referred was nothing
more or less than a suspension of judg-
ment pending further investigation, and
that the State Department SO informed
McNany at the time.
Urges Separation from Service.
At the conclusion Of his subsequent in
vestigation. Director Wilbur ]. Carr, of
the consular service, declared that he
believed the charges to be well-grounded
and recommended the separation OF NC
Nally from the service. This subsequent
report was ignored by Mr.. Folk in pre-
pairing a memorandum on /McNally's s
case
The memorandum prepared by Folk, in
Sondoning the bribery Of Chinese officials
by McNaIly. contained the following pas
sage which was one of the most effective
instruments used against McNally's con-
hrmation:
hile these acts might oe orlDery ac-
cording to American standards, the sit

Referring to the same matter, Gov.
Folks predecessor. Mr.. Van Dyne, while
acting solicitor, said in a memorandum:
Although bribery of Chinese officials
may be the most expeditions and useful
manner TO secure rights or desired favors
In, China, that is not a practice in which
an American consul should engage even
to accommodate his nationals"
McNally was a Republican. from the
home OF former Secretary of State Phi
lander c. Knox. and the present Junior
Senator from Pennsylvania, Senator Oil
yer, led the fight for McNaIly's confirma-
ton. While the name was sent up by
the White House in the course Of routine
business President Wilson himself knew
nothing of-the case, and the White House
iisclaimed any interest in the outcome of
the fight in the Senate. Senator Hoks
Smith. of Georgia; Senator Williams, Of
Mississippi and several other warm
friends of the White House, led the fight
against McNaIly.

When 'Iolanthe," the opening attrac-

first produced in New York, Gilbert &
Sullivan had still fresh in mind their bit

TO the lack of any stringent international

was exercised to prevent the publication
of the words or score OF .Iolanthe."
The music for each company was kept
in manuscript form in charge Of the

them in a safe.

is as follows: Monday and Friday even
