This complaint raises an interesting

there has been not tho slightest intimation

So as the people are paying NJ much ma

The upward trend of prices during the

opportunities for unusual profits to to-

SALARY OF THE DIPLoMATIsT.

Pity the American diplomat abroad.
His lot is frequently hard one. Not only
is he houseless, but the depreciation of
foreign currency is far worse for HIM than
the inflated value OF the American dollar
is for citizens at home.
A comparatively ancient law, enacted
when the present condition international
finance could be foTeseen, provided that
diplomatic and consular officers shall
utilize their fee collections in paying their
salaries and the running expenses OF their
offices, and remit TO the government what
ever excess there is In American gold or its
equivalent.
This is how the arrangement works
The normal salary Of an agent in France
may be SO. 600. At normal exchange rates
that would amount to about $4,000 francs
Today the same $1,000 is worth more
nearly 5000 francs. An American tourist
in France would enjoy that advantage.
But the diplomat must still pay himself
his normal salary of $4,000 francs only,
worth 81. 600 in the United States, and any
collections over that amount must revert
to the government
If it were not for the legal technicality,
the banks provide an international medium
for paying such an agent his full salary Of
SO, 600 at the current rate of exchange.
Unless this condition is remedied soon.
it is plain to be seen that general dis
inclination to serve in such position may
develop, resulting in real loss to the nation
through impairment of its diplomatic sCrv-
ice.-St Joseph (Mo.) Gazette.
