PARTIES GIVEN =
FOR FOREIGNERS.
The International Labor Conferences
held last week the interest of every
one, both In society and out. Almost
all OF the embassies and LEGATIONS
gave some sort of an entertainment
In compliment to the delegates from
their own particular country, while
members Of the Cabinet and other Of
ncials or our government entertained
various groups OF the delegates. But
understand that there are daily lit
tie tea parties staged at the conf ,r-
ence that we didn't hear much about.
The conference usually lasts until
after the tea hour. SO the British
members installed in a small room
adjoining the conference room a tea
SET They quietly slip in there for
cup OF tea every afternoon. The Eng
isn must have their afternoon tea.
don't you know
A great deal Of interest was dis
played on all sides In the elections. A
few went home to vote. Though resi-
dents Of the District can't vote. AL
most everyone here is interested in
elections either back In their home
state or else in the adjoining counties

seem to think that the outcome of the
elections would indicate the trend of
public opinion and suggest the out

but / don't agree with that idea. OF
course, don't know much about such
matters. but my observation has been
that local issues and personalities only
were considered In last weeks cleo
tions.
DIPLOMATIC CORPS
ALMOST COMPLETE.
Two new ambassadors arrived in
our midst during the last few days
and the announcement that two
more have been appointed to this
country was made last week.
Marc Peter. a member of the Fed
eral Parliament of Switzerland, has
been appointed Swiss Minister to
Washington to succeed DR.. Hans
Sulzer. who asked some time ago to
be relieved as Minister to the
United States. Mr.. Peter is a prom
inent Geneva lawyer and is related
to former President Lachenal.
Augusta Cochrane de Alencar has
accepted an invitation to become
Brazilian Ambassador to the United
States.
Senior Alencar was formerly Bra
lillian minister to Peru and recently
held the post of undersecretary for
foreign affairs. He is to sail for his
post here within a month. coming
by the way OF London. The Bra
zilian government has received as
surances that he is acceptable. The
services he rendered to the United
states in The Peruvian negotiations
when he was Brazilian charge DAFT
faires to Peru are recalled.
The japanese Ambassador. Kijuro
Shidehara, and the Polish Minister.
Prince Lubormirski. arrived only a
few days ago. but both have already
presented their credentials to the
State Department. They will pre-
sent their credentials to the Presi-
dent as soon as the latter's health
will permit. There is a rapidly in
creasing number of diplomats wait
ing to be formally received by the
President. Meanwhile they perform
their duties as ENJOYS though any
entertaining done for them is usual
ly more or less informal until the
President receives them. The Sec
retary of State and Mrs. Robert
Lansing gave a dinner recently in
honor OF the new British Ambassador.
Viscount Grey. but though really Of
fetal was small and informal.
With the arrival Of the new Am
bassador Of Brazil, every ambassa-
dorial post in Washington will be
filled once more with the exception
Of that Of Peru. 1t has been stated
that Frederic Pezet will fill that
post but I don't think he has been
officially appointed yet. Anyway.
the depleted ranks of the Diplo-
matte Corps are being rapidly filled.
Last summer diplomats were con-
spicuous by their absence.
There are now only about seven
ministers who are absent" Quite a
few wandering ministers have re-
turned lately. including the Minister
of Bulgaria and the Minister of Siam.
both of whom took a long vacation.
The Portuguese Minister. Viscount
d'Alte, went home a short time ago
for a six months vacation. DR.. de
Cespedes. of Cuba, DR.. Koo. Of
China, the Minister of Panama, of
Greece. Honduras and Montenegro
are all absent" just now. But at
that, the number of ENJOYS in town
is larger than has been the case for
many months
The new Polish Minister. the first
man to represent his country in
that capacity seems to be quite "a
live wire" He is already very much
ION the job" For one thing he
