State Department Outlines
Plans to Develop For
eign Trade.
TO EXTEND LEGATIONS

Plans of the State Department to
aid American business interests in de-
veloping foreign trade in a large way
and to encourage good will essential
to permanent foreign trade were ex-
planned today to the House committee
or foreign affairs
The State Department intends to ex-
pand its diplomatic and consular rep
resentation abroad, SO that the United
States will receive, as the largest pro-
ducing nation, it's legitimate share of
the worlds business.
DR.. Wilbur j. Carr, director of the
consular service. explained this ex-
pansion, which if approved by Con-
Sress will be the greatest in the coun-
try's history. New legations will be
established, many additional repre-
sentatives will be attached to the
United States foreign offices and sal
aries generally will be increased.
Consular service salaries will be
nearly double. The total in the last
Year was S1.20s,500; the total for the
fiscal year of 1920. if approved by
Congress. will be s1,974.50O. A new
scheme recommended by the depart
ment provides for the employment OF
large number of "economic as
sstants" who will be attached to all
ceive salaries of not more than $4,000
each. The economic assistants will as
semble trade statistics and trade in
formation of value to. this country.
The department also recommends
that all commercial attaches be placed
under it's jurisdiction. At present they
work under the Department OF Com
MERGE. Feeling is strong in Congress
as we'll as in the department that
these attaches need the background of
the Department of State.
Extent of Expansion Plan.
Mr.. Cars recommendations indicate
the extent of the proposed expansion.
He asks, for instance. that $6SS,000 be
n appropriated for clerk hire at en-
bassies and legations; the yearly ap-
preparation for this purpose before
the war was approximately 100000
He also asks that the appropriations
Tor clerical assistance at conSulateS be
increased from $500. 900 a year before
the war to s1,200.000. He recommends
that secretaries and diplomatic corps
he graded from $1,000 to $4,000 a year.
Until now the secretaries have re-
oeived from $4,000 to $4,000. and only
men of wealth have been able to &C
cept the appointments. The depart
ment emphasizes that it wants men
of ability, irrespective of their pri-
vate means, and it says that their
services can be obtained only by in
creasing the salaries paid. The de-
partment asks permission to employ
