Enlightened business men of the Unit
ed States. as well as of other commercial
nations, are of one mind in regard to the
necessity and value of adequate eduea-
tional preparation for business, domestic
and foreign, and nearly all countries are
making plans to establish courses of
study that will meet the business needs
of these countries, particularly in the
field of export. Mr.. James A. Farrell,
president of the National Foreign Trade
council, in the course of his remarks,
sums up this situation as follows:
"Those who are taking the initial steps
by creating export departments in their
organizations, and adjusting or changing
their products to meet conditions prevail
ing in the markets they would reach,
are first of all. confronted by the prob
lem of obtaining workmen, Office men.
statesmen and executives traiend to han
die their business, difficulty which, it Is
safe to say, but few companies find easy
of solution, This condition prevails be-
cause the foreign trade of the United
States is in its infancy and only recently
has the question of special training been
considered by public men, corporations,
public schools and universities.
I'VE are only just realizing that this
is one of the handicaps we have been un.
der in the competition with our Euro
pesn rcommercialrivais,a and this is why
shipping, exporting and manu-
offices are employing an ever
number of foreign born per-
sons who acquire the requisite special
training in schools, universities and bust

France"

ANOTHER SUBMARINE VISITORS

The government and the people of The
United States have been victimized SC
much by the hoax of German submarines
on the American seaboard that they were
inclined at first to receive with incred,
ulity the report of an attack by sub.
marine on British Workmanship 80
miles off Nantucket light, although there
were certain features of the report which
seemed to indicate reliability. The gov
eminent especially is inclined to wait for
definite confirmation before arousing the
people unduly, an attitude which is
greatly to be commended. An element
of doubt regarding the reliable founda-
tion of the report is presented by the
knowledge that submarine or a feet
of submarines could not operate in wa
tiers contiguous to the American shore
without having bases of supply at some
convenient points; and those bases Of
supply would be of very uncertain length
of existence because of the diligence of
the naval department in ferreting out
any suspicious appearances. 1t would,
therefore, be extremely foolhardy for
German submarines to attempt to oper
ATE in American waters; and the gain,
whatever there might be, would be hard
" worth the candle. Moreover, it seems
certain that Germany needs all the sub
marines it can assemble to continue the
attack on British shipping. 1t has been
eight months since the Germans set out
to starve the British into submission,
and the job is not yet anywhere near
lone. To accomplish that, or to en-
leavor to accomplish that, Germany can
not spare any submarines to be de-
,troyed on the American seaboard.

TRAINING FOR FOREIGN SERVICE
Based on Satisfactory Courses in Com
mercial Education.

Training for foreign service is dis
cussed in bulletin 81, 1917, just issued
/ by the bureau of education of the depart
ment of the interior. This bulletin gives
an account of the recent conference on
! this subject. which was held in the city
of Washington, on invitation of the com
missioner of education in cooperation
with the director general of the Pan
American union, the director of the con-
sular service, the chief of the bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce, and the
organizing secretary of the conference,
DR.. Glen Levin Swiggett, assistant secre-
tary general of the second Pan American
scientific congress. The bulletin prints
in full the addresses OF the director of
the consular service and the president of
the National Foreign Trade council.
Training for foreign service" says DR..
Swiggett, who prepared the bulletin,
must be based upon satisfactory courses
in commercial education. Industry,
trade, and diplomacy are working CON
Jointly in creating a new International
policy for the nations of the world. The
technique of commerce must be familiar
to the consul and diplomat Of the future.
The social and religious welfare of a ma
ton in foreign fields, with or without the
supervision or patronage of the govern
ment cannot be efficient without training
in foreign relations courses based on the
fundamentals of commercial education"
The address of the director of the con-
sular service, Mr.. Wilbur j. Carr, deals
at length with the functions of consuls
Of the United States, the organization
and administration of the consular sery
ice, and the qualifications for entrance.
Mr.. Carr does not accept the view that
business experiel is indispensable to a
consular career. Some of our
business men," he says, ARE fond of the
view that the consular service should be |
made up of men who have had practical
business experience, and this view exists
not only to some extent in the United |
States, but also in Germany and Great |
Britain, and presumably in France and /
,ther countries II is based, however, on |
he fact that business men see only one
'hase of the activities of consuls, namely,
hat of direct promotion of commerce,
md they overlook several other impor-
ant duties of consuls. Anoth-
r objection to the proposition that con-
uls should be trained business men is
hat the government will never be able

that he performed fine service for the

Every revolt which the Kerensky gov
eminent successfully weathers makes
more substantial the foundation on which
the new government of the republic is
to stand; so it may be taken for grant
ed that the reported success in with
standing the assault attempted by Gen.
Korniloff the deposed commander of the
Russian armies, will add greatly to the
strength of Premier Kerensky and his
colleagues. Each failure of revolt weak
ems the determination of the malcontents
providing the existing government goes
about its work of organization in the
broad minded attitude. The first duty of
the Kerensky regime is to solidify its
position at home and the next will be to
build up defense against the enemy
which is striking from the west. Thus
far the Kerensky regime, it may be stat
ed, has been doing well although it is as
yet too early to state with any degree
of certainly whether the government win
stand.
