Improving Foreign Relations

In an address to number Of
Young men VINO had just entered the
d plomatie service Secretary Hughes
expressed the hope that as Amer
ica $ international relations were ox-
tended the people of the country
would appreciate the Importance of
The service more than heretofore.
"I hope" said he. that ain that has
been done to improve the diplomatic
service to establish and maintain
the hest standards Of work in the
service is only beginning of what
we shall accomplish as We are forced
INTO more and more important rcla
'ons with other countries as the
intimacy of relation is increased.
and feel that the American people
are so keen, so intclligcnt so observ-
ant OF their interests that it l.; only a
question Of time when the full dig
nifty worth and necessity Of the diplo-
matte service as those appreciate it
who arc intimately connected with it
will be recognized generally"
People are only slowly beginning
to appreciate the Importance of the
diplomatic service. They are only
gradually realizing that the service
is, a. a matter of TACT, our first linc
of defense in international affairs.
and that in the extension of al
American activities abroad it is des-
tined to play an ever-incrcasing role.
The diplomatic service must be
put on such a basis that it is open
to others than mon of wealth. 1t
must be made into a career of suf-
fcient promise to attract ambitious
men of genuine ability. 1t must
offer the promise Of recognition for
distinguished service.
As at present organized it is so
poorly paid and the demands of liv-
ing up to the standards expected of
the representative Of the United
States in foreign countries cat up so
much more than the salary that the
service is practically closed to men
without Independent means. The
present system Of promotion in the
service holds forth no surety that
men of ability will ever be raised to
the post Of minister or ambassador
And there is every prospect that any
one so promoted will find himself,
with a change of Administration.
out Of a job and having to his credit
training that is of little value in
other fields.
These things must be rightcd be-
fore the service will be adequate and
efficient.

Newberry Case Postscript
To the Editor OF The Tribune.

10 the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The Newberry contest is set

personally and the majority Of the
campaign committee They are Of the
best that Michigan produces.
There are two sides to every oucs-
ton. but only one side of this question
seems manifest in the discussions. II
would seem that Mr.. Newberry and his
committee of Michigan's best people
had done great injury to poor,
modest, defenseless patriot, Comment
is unnecessary.
1t must be remembered that the Re-
publicans of Michigan faced a very
grave situation, and that in their op-
ponent they had a man to be feared
on account Of his great wealth and the
nature and magnitude Of his business,
which reached into every nook and
corner of the state. Admitting that
more money was spent by the New
berry committee than should ordinarily
be spent in such cases, these circum-
stances should be considered.
And the question arises: Is it more
harmful that committee representing
very large number of contributors
should exceed a certain limit than that
one powerful parsonage should hold
threat of defeat over the heads of the
chosen representatives of the people in
Congress? 1t stands to reason that the
one person with unlimited means and
a disposition to use it oppressively is
far more dangerous to liberty than any
committee or association that must
raise its funds after consultation by
subscription. Ye guardians of liberty.
beware of the onc-man power.

More Truth Than Poetry

He wanted a partner, plain fa:ed

So he married a lady who SWING

And could build mince PIE

And he fancied her houseHork
his life would illume
Till they came to the end o.
the road.
But the lady grew weary Of sauce
pan and range
AS soon as the knot had beer

She sought out her earliest chance
of a change,
And let all her cookery slide
She learned to mix cocs2ls

And got all her meals at hotels.

And could talk about pictures

You probably think that this LADY

that from the moment the Now
Yorker fails to get up before the
alarm clock has stopped ringing un-
til he goes to bed at night, an hour
late. he is forever hurrying in order
not to be late and is forever arriv-
ing just late enough to make him
start late for his next appointment.
Late out of bed. he is late at
breakfast. Late at breakfast. he
runs to catch the subway or the
train. Late on the train, he arrives
late at the Office. Late at the Office.
he ondeavors TO make up for the
delay, with tho result that he is
late for his first appointment. The
entire day is spent therefore. in try
ing to catch up. The more he tries
the more he runs. The more he runs
the less he rests. The less he rests
the greater Is his futile cndcavor
to get somewhere on time
SO goes the vicious cycle. Not
only is there no rest for the weary,
but there is no reposc for the rushed.
Day follows day, piling up delays,
so that the New Yorker labors un-
der an ever-incrcasing burden Of
hurry to meet appointments. The
disease is incurablc and it is said
that even on his deathbcd the poor
Manhattanite is moved by the fear
that he will be late at his own fu-
moral.

The Nervous New Yorker

Franklin's 8 Spiritual Side
