of the Rogers act. The consular men
claim that they have officers emin-
emily better fitted for important posts
than the diplomatic officers, who
are getting a proportionate majority
of them
When the department wants an
expert on a foreign country, it has
to come to the consular service"
they say. 1.-The diplomatic men
specialize in tea-slinging and that's
why they say we don't make good
diplomats We do the work.
Then, as proof, they point to the
Mexican and far eastern division.
The head of the Mexican division
is Franklin Mott Gunther, a $4,000
a year Glass I man of means.
Gunther has served in Paris, Lisbon,
Flo de Janero, Christiania, London
The Hague and Rome. He has never
been in Mexico. Last year he is
said to have spent several months
touring Europe while the Mexican
crisis heated up.

credits him with II years as clerk,
letter carrier and stenographer. He
was born in Holland and rose from
a clerkship in the department to his
present high post. But he has never
been in Mexico and doesn't know
the country.
Last on the list-at $4,000 a year
is Major Edward Prindle Lowrey, the
only representative of the consular
service in this division. Consular
men say he does all the work for
his high salared superiors. He was
vice consul in Havana in 1921 and
in 1922 was sent to Mexico, where
he became a consul in 1925 He is
said to know Mexico from top to

situations in the purview of the

1t may be said that the two most
important bureaus in the state de-

The theory presumably is that the

consular functions, until the above demands shall
have been fulfilled.
The Soviet government limits itself to the above
elementary demands which in way are calculated
to humiliate the Picking government Every imper-
ialist government whose representatives had been
subjected to similar violence would have answered
with the sharpest reprisals. The Soviet govern
ment which has sufficient means at it's disposal to
exercise reprisals, declares however that it has no
intention whatever of taking such measures.
The Soviet government is we'll aware that ir-
responsible circles amongst the foreign mperialists
wish to provoke the Soviet Union into a war. The
Soviet government is we'll aware that the Picking
cabinet was the instrument of foreign imperialist
circles. However, in its policy, the Soviet govern
ment is guided only by the interests of the toiers
of the whole world, including the interests of the
masses of the Chinese people and the working
class of all countries. In answer to the Picking
provoeation which intended to worsen the In
ternational situation and to turn the de facto mill
tary operations already begun by certain imper-
lalsts powers against China into a new world
war, the Soviet government declares that it will per-
NIT itself to be provoked by no one and will fight
for the cause of peace between the nations with all
the means at its disposal. The Soviet government
does not doubt for moment that its efforts ror
peace will receive the unanimous support of the
toilers in all countries including particularly the
peoples OF China and of the Soviet Union.

sador, Udendeyk, to violate the extra-territoriaI
rights of the military attache, to use violence
against employees of the embassy of the Soviet
Union and to plumber and demolish their living
rooms. The cooperation between the soldiers and
police of the Picking government with the represen-
tatives of the diplomatic corps throws light upon
the real motives of the .unheard of violence and
the violation of elementary extra-terrtoria rights
and supplies the best evidence concerning those in
whose interests this violence was committed
The Soviet government emphatically protests
against the above mentioned acts of violence and
violation OF normal rights and considers it
necessary to insist upon the fulfilment of the fol-
lowing elementary demands:
a. The Chinese military troops and police must
