citizens dying in his jurisdiction, keep informed with
respect to local and national regulations and laws, the
sentiment of the press. and, on occasion, keep this
country informed as to any preparations which may
be quietly made with 4 view to hostile action against
a neighboring country And. Of course. he should be
able to speak, read and write foreign languages. the
more the better.
In these days of intense competition Of all sorts, a
splendid consular service is one of the greatest assets
of 4 country engaged in international trade or bust
ness of any character. America has a service today
far more competent than it possessed prior to the re-
Of state, and adopted in 1906. There is still great
room for Improvement, enlarged by the fact that the
last Democratic administration did nothing TO perfect
the service and considerable to demoralize it Con-
sidering what is expected of them, our consuls are
perhaps the poorest paid Of our public servants, their
salaries barely ~sufficing to meet household expenses
by the application of an economy which in any other
whatever made for the time when age has deteriorated
their value to the state. Thirty years a consul and
declining years in poverty seems to be the policy, yet
who can estimate the value of that single piece Of in
formation which the consul in Australia gave to the
American manufacturer Multiply it by a thousand.
or then thousand. as the aggregate value of the con-
sular service to the state each year and while still no
estimate is possible the notion is conceived.
1t should be n part of the Republican program of
reconstruction TO perfect our consular service. To
exhibit parsimony in this direction may sound well
when the nations budget Is read from the political
hastings, but il will not read so well in the nations
commercial balance sheet. Trade is real. It is also
trained, better equipped eonsuls, better paid and as
certain of retirement pay as any member of the pro-
fesSion of arms is a program of economy, an assur-
ance of increased sales abroad, and something which
COMFORTS agreeably with the dignity and Importance
of our countrys' station in the world.
