DIPLOMATS PLENIPOTENTIARY

Germany's representatives at YER
sailles must be plenipotentiaries if
she wants peace. A plenipotentiary
is supposed to have authority to rep
resent the government absolutely.
As a matter of fact representatives in
these days never have such authority.
Our diplomatic representatives
abroad are known as ambassadors
extraordinary and plenipotentiary.
When monarchs were absolute they
could send ambassadors clothed with
full power to act, but our ambassa-
doris have no plenipotentiary authori-
ty in its strict meaning. At the time
of the Russian-Japanese peace con-
.erence held at Portsmouth, N. H., the
saying was coined that a "plenipoten-
tIary is a representative who has full
power to. act as he is told"

Government is so in need of reform as
diplomatic service, and other ma
lions may be no better Present-day
diplomacy is shrouded in mystery as
it was in medieval times.
Morever, diplomatic affairs are still
in the hands of the aristocracy. The
iUreign service of this and other
countries is recruited chiefly from
men of wealth and social position who
have private fortunes on which to
draw.
Now that international relations are
of such great importance, it seems
that SOME radical reforms in our
diplomatic service would be entirely
fitting at this time.
