LETTER H
-RLN H
BY RODNEY BUTCHER
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON. - Internal diSSen-
sion continues in the department OF
state, and the consular insurgents
hope to obtain a congressional inves-
tigation of the foreign service promo
ton system.
Members of the preponderant con-
sular branch continue to charge fav-
oritism and unfair discrimination on
behalf of small group Of wealthy
and socially elect members Of the
diplomatic corps.
They are doing missionary work
among members of congress and claim
to have excited considerable interest
although high officials of the depart
ment will exert every effort to FORE
stall any formal investigation on ne
ground that it is unnecessary ana
that if there is anything wrong with
the promotion system it is fast being
remedied.
Public revelation of the bitter row
within the service three or four
months ago was followed by some de-
velopments for the better, according
to the consuls, but they are far from
satisfied.
SguabbIe Over Plum Passing
Their complaint that members Of
the diplomatic branch we're being
promoted much oftener than the con-
suls, although all were supposed to
be equal under the Rogers act, has
been met by a promotion list which
affected some 80 consuls and no dipr
lomats A smaller list of promoted
conSulS is expected to follow, but the
insurgents declare that 125 consuls
must be promoted before they will be
on a parity with the diplomats.
Furthermore, they contend that the
little diplomatic clique which they
say formerly drew the promotion
plums has now been given its coun-
terpart in the consular service.
For instance, it is cited that the
Rogers act provides for promotions on
merit and that the foreign service is
supposed to be concentrating on
Latin America, with the theory that
It is more important to have high
grade men there than elsewhere. But
only two of the last list of % promo
tions went to consuls in Latin
America and the majority went to
Europe.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES ]. MONTAGUE
THE EASIEST WAY

When the pause in the years occu-
patton
Permits me to pack up my grip
And embark on my two weeks vaca-
ton
By train, or by motor or ship;
I spend no long hours Of worry
Over hints that my friends may
impart,
But make up my n.nd in hurry,
And start.
I never peruse the gay folders
With pictures of gorgeous hotels,
Or trout brooks that wind amid
boulders,
Or valleys where happiness dwelIs.
I never consult with my neighbors
AS to where, on some green little
isle,
A man may find rest from his labors
A while.
I calmly conceal my derIsion
At all manner of tips and ADVICE,
And come to a hasty decision
With nonchalent flip of the dice.
The dice may of course be mistaken,
But I stake those two weeks on a
throw,
And as soon as the cubes have been
shaken
go.
For I know that wherever I wander
BY train or by motor or ship
1t is fifty to one that I'll squander
The money I've saved for the trip.
So the bright little ivories clatter
And make up my mind when they
fall,
For the place that I go doesn't matter
At all.

The old fellow was seated over the
edge of a dock, gazing intently at an
