Explanation of Proposal.

In explanation of the proposed re-
organization scheme, 1t is stated that
many of the ambassadors and ministers
were appointed originally without spe-
cial knowledge on their part Of the pc
culiar requirements of their posts.
Some had no intention. it is declared
of remaining abroad more than one
term of four years. In other cases
some who expected to make even
shorter stays abroad. it is said, have
from force of circumstances. especially
the exigencies of the present war, con-
tinued at their posts only to meet the
wishes of the State Department
Foreign policies will engross a large
part of President Wilson's attention in
the immediate future. 1t is regarded
as essential that in the development
of the larger plans of the administra-
tion in foreign intercourse the Presi-
don't should have specially selected am
bassadors and ministers to meet the
demands in each case.
Some Retentions Certain.
That considerable number OF the
incumbents will be asked to remain in
office is declared to be certainty, but
some do not wish to remain and some
have proved unequal to the heavy re-
quirements OF their stations. In the
course of one of his informal talks to
newspaper men some time ago, Presi-
dent Wilson probably had this situa-
tion in the diplomatic service in mind
when he remarked some men grow in
Office and others swell up"
IT is expected that the general tender
of designations in the near future VIII
relieve President Wilson from the ne
cessity of adopting the course taken
by President Roosevelt and calling di-
rectly for the designations.
