SAVE GOLF FROM
CONTMERCTAIJSN

From the New York Herald.
Officers OF the United States Golf
Association are 20 be commended for
their warning to the golf clubs of
America TO beware OF the rocks of
commercialism. Golf has attained its
great popularity because II is a game
for the player far more than for the
onlooker. The devotee OF baseball
usually is passive. He sits in the
stand and watches his hero slam the
ball over the fence. The, golfer on
the other hand, glories in the fact
that he can 20 out into the open
and do the slamming himself.
In the last two years there has
been a stronger tendency to over
emphasize the exhibition golf match
by prominent professionals and of
course the gate receipts. This has
developed a situation which threat
ems to make the commercial aspect
Of the sport almost as salient as e
is in baseball. Champions gradually
have Increased their fees. Big
matches have been advertised exten-
sively. Professional golfers have
sought championships largely be-
cause they could capitalize their
fame and titles in these exhibitions.
The first sign of revolt against
this condition came recently when
he Highland Club of Pittsburgh re-
fused an increase in salary to Gene
Sarazen, the new national open
and permitted him to
leave the clubs employment. The
golfers of Highland decided that,
while It was a fine thing to have
a national titleholder as their pro-
fessional. his fame did nothing to-
ward lettering their individual styles
and his championship repaired no

UNIFYING THE
FOREIGN SERVICE.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
Secretary Hughes has Endorsed rhe
Rogers bin for the reorganization
of the diplomatic and consular SER
vices. This bill provides. among
other things, for the interchange
ability of men in the consular and
diplomatic services. for increased
pay and for retirement pensions.
The purpose Is to unity the two
branches of the foreign service,
which heretofore have been kept
apart, and at the same time TO offer
to men entering either branch the
inducement OF a career of recogni-
ton and distinction. AS at present
organized men in the consular ser
vice can never hope 20 be moro than
consul general, a position often OF
genuine importance but not com
parable TO the rank of minister. or
ambassador in distinction or infu-
ence. Men in the diplomatic service
can rarely hope TO be retained in che
higher diplomatic posts on account
of the present custom OF appointing
chiefs of mission largely for political
considerations. The new bill aims to
make it easier to promote men from
both branches to the highest post In
either.
BY increasing the pay OF consular
and diplomatic representatives it
will be possible TO induce men OF
limited means to enter the service.
In this way the field for recruiting
able men will be wldeped.
This proposed reorganization has
met with the opposition OF numer-
Gus persons formerly connected with
the diplomatic service. They say that
the nature of the work of oonsulates
and embassies is so different that
Il IS impractical TO make the per
sonnet interchangeable. The con-
sular service requires a thorough
Of trade conditions and
OF the mechanics OF international
The diplomatic service, on
the other hand, requires full
knowledge OF international politics
and international law and a good
Of the history. customs
a nd traditions OF foreign nations.
It does not follow that a man
trained in the diplomatic service
will make a good consul. But the
Eases are rare in which men trained
FOR the diplomatic service would not
be more competent If they had sev-
eral years of experience IN the con-
sular service. Only too often are our
ilplomatic secretaries lacking IN a
Of business and trade Of
intercourse. There was
L time when such knowledge was
not so important. But nowadays
when TO further or to protect the
commerce of the nation is one of the
principal functions OF the foreign
ervice, Il IS necessary that the rep

THE suIrAN's FLIGHT.

From the washington Post.
The flight OF the sultan on board
a British warship and his transfer
TO Malta adds vet another oompli-
cation to a situation already rich in
them. Mohammed VI for months
past has not exercised any political
mower. Summoned TO abdicate by
the Angora government and desert
ed even by his personal bodyguard,
he remained in his palace on the
Bosporus, a mere shadow of his for
mer greatness. When the Angora
government went a step further and
announced its intention of putting
the sultan and his ministers on trial,
II was clear that as soon as the
Kemalists were in possession OF
Constantinople Mohammed VI
would be arrested and that his life
would be in danger.
It is notorious that Mustapha Ke-
nal and most OF his chief support
ers are free thinkers and that re-
liglous belief carries little weight
with them. They were, however,
willing 10 make a concession TO the
religious feelings OF the Mohammed
world and still maintain the caliph-
ate as the religious head of Islam.
The caliph was, however. to be
shorn of all temporal power and to
be merely the spiritual head. Here
tofore Mustapha Kemal's prestige
with the Mohammedan world has
been largely due to his apparent de-
Tense OF Islam against threatening

tend 10 weaken his position. The

A BUDGET FOR THE Y. W. @. A.

Il
From the New York Tribune.
Instead OF haphazard campaign
for funds after a deficit is discov-
cred, the Young women's Christian
Association OF New York has adopt
ed budget system. Accordingly,
before the end of the fiscal year,
statement IS prepared showing the
estimated operating expenses for
the coming year. payments on mort
cages that must be met and the total
Of available receipts. The differ
ence between the established income
and the expected obligations repre-
sents the growth and expansion OF
the association, which its friends are
asked to finance II they believe in
the work. The statement this year
indicates that 100000 will be re-
quired to carry out the plans for
the new year. II pledges are re-
ceived UP to that amount the associa-
ton will proceed according 10 esti-
mate. II the amount contributed
falls short, the work intended TO be
done will be cut to fit the new In
come.
This is a fair and business like
proposition and makes the public
share the responsibility before in
stead Of after the expenditure of the
funds. No wheeling is to be done.
The case is stated and the public is
asked TO say whether or not the
work IS to be supported. The fact
that the association is already SO
per cent. self-supporting IS indica-
ton OF the strong hold Il has upon
those interested. Endowment and /
trust funds. together with member !
ship fees, make up this income, so /
that for 1928 new contributions Of /
only II per cent. are needed. Even I
the colleges do no better than this.
The success OF the budget system |
may be measured by the experience
of the last two years. In 1920. when
t was inaugurated, not enough
money was contributed to carry out
he plans for 1921. Consequently.
he work had to be cut IS per cent.
IN the fall of 1921 the budget for

ION to expect that this years. budget
