JOHN MARSHALL'S
GREAT WORK TOLD
Lord CraigmyIe Praises Race
of Virginia Leaders in
18th Century.

John Marshall was characterized as
lone of that race of superbly intelligent
and capable men who appeared in. Vir-
ginia in the middle Of the eighteenth
century," by Lord Craigmyle, eminent
British jurist and statesman, in the first
of three lectures on the American Chief
Justice, at George Washington Univer-
sity yesterday.
Lord Craigmyle cited the great prob
lem of Marshall's time as the relation
between the individual States and the
central Government, and asserted that
under Marshall's sanalysis and impulse
q higher type of Federal nationalism
was substituted for the sturdy but stupid
isolation of the States"
Marshall, he said, COPIED with the
terrific problems largely by virtue Of the
"toughness of body and spirit supplied
by pioneer background, broad culture
and profound legal knowledge"
Prof. Charles Sager Collier Of the law
faculty of George Washington Univer-
sity introduced Lord Craigmyle as "a
distinguished defender of human rights
and liberty" He recalled Lord Craig
myle's long service in Parliament, as the
friend and associate Of such statesmen
as Gladstone, Brice and Rosebery, and
with the Liberal ascendancy in England
in 1905 as member of the privy
council with Asouith and Lloyd George
Lord Craigmyle will present his sec
ond lecture at pm. tomorrow in Cor
coran Hall, when he will discuss the
diplomacy of Marshall. The conclud-
ing lecture, at pm. Friday in Cor
coran Hall, will deal with the consti-
tutional judgments of MARSHALL

pleasant when the natives see the Brit
ish or the French or the italian con-
suls receive on given occasions with q
certain amount of dignity, while the
American consul cannot offer even a
glass OF lemonade on national festivi-
ties and must accept hospitality with
out ever returning 1t. But, even In
large places like London or Paris, the
suppression of the allowance of $4,000
year is not pleasant.
It is true that in these places the
American Ambassadors are, as q rule,
men with large personal incomes. The
new regulations, however, make 1t ab-
solutely impossible for a man, without
ton, officials declared. What the
absolute necessities of an Ambas-
sador in a large capital are can
be seen. from the scale of payment
given by other governments to their
Representatives abroad. While the high
est-paid American diplomatic officer re-
ceives $4,000 a year, inclusive Of all
allowances, the British pay their Am
bassador in Washington $4,000 year;
in Paris, $4,000 year; in Berlin,
about $4,000, and in Rome, $4,000
year.
The French pay Ambassador Claudel
mere ABOUT S5U,U year ana IlO leSS
than $4,000 year to their Ambassa-
dors in Berlin and Rome, while the
Italians have an almost similar scale
of payment. The Ministers in Wash
ington of smaller countries, like Ru-
mania and Serbia, receive about twice
as much as an American Ambassador
to the Court of St. James or Paris.
This system of Uncle Sam expecting
his representatives abroad to spend the
necessary sums to represent this country
in a dignified manner out Of their own
pocket puts a premium on the CHECK
Ambassadors" and on the rich mans
son, who alone can hencefOrth permit
themselves the luxury OF entering
Americas foreign service, 1t was
said. This defeats completely the
purpose of the Rogers bill. which
intended to encourage young, tai
ented and well educated men to enter
the diplomatic and consular service. The
purpose of that bill was to do away with
the practice that only those born with a
silver spoon in their mouth could enter
the American foreign service. For few
years, the somewhat deficient American
diplomatic service obtained new blood.
Young men with ability and intelli-
gence were attracted by the interesting
life offered them by the State Depart
ment They knew that they could not
hope to make money out Of this career,
Evening star., 1932-10-26

but they were quite satisfied with the
prospect Of working for a decent living
and were prepared to give up the possi-
bility of making money in other fields
Of activity for an interesting and safe
job.
The new cuts, which, 1t Is feared, may
be permanent. will render 1t impossible
for a man who has no private income
to enter the foreign service and 1t Is
possible that again will we be confronted
with the situation that no young man
without private means will be induced
to enter the diplomatic and consular
service, according to ofilcials.

The cut Of s27o,ooo of the so-called
special fund" of the Secretary. Of
State entails no particular disadvan-
tage, according to officials, in the
case of an important conference,
like the Disarmament Conference,
Congress has always been willing
to grant the necessary funds for send
ing an adequate delegation abroad. As
far as those special studies" are con-
cerned, the permanent personnel OF
the American foreign service agencies
abroad should be able to do the work
without employing outsiders. In the
case Of certain important developments
occurring in places difficult to reach,
where there are no American Official
representatives it has been the custom
for a long time for the Department
of State to rely on press reports from
American newspaper men.
The reduction of the allowance OF
the American diplomatic and consular
officers in foreign countries to only $6
day is, however, likely to become
very prejudicial to Americas interests
and prestige abroad, 1t was stated.
1t matters little whether an Ameri-
can consular inspector lives in a cheap
fourth-class hotel near Charing Cross,
in London or in the shady neighbor-
hood of the Care du Nord, in Paris.
But it is extremely important for Amer
ican officers of the State Department
who travel in the East to live in decent
quarters, department heads pointed out.
AS it happens, in certain parts OF
India or China, or in South America,
there are only two classes OF hotels
those built for foreigners and very Sec
ond-rate inns where the natives live.
The hotels built for foreigners are nat

same thing applies to Colombo. in
Ceylon. Shanghai, Tientsin, as well as
to BuenoS Aires, Rio de Janeiro or

sular officer, sent to these places on
special duty, must either have private
means or must be willing to .eaVe his
family in America to live on water
and bread, in order to be able to live
for a few days in any Of these places.
He cannot possibly live in inns which
are catering for the natives of India
in second-rate places in Latin Ameri-
can capitals, it was said.
Suppression Of Allowances.
But even the suppression Of the enter
tanning allowances of the diplomatic and
consular officers. it was said, is likely to
have a demoralizing effect. In certain
small consular posts in China or the Near
East these allowances did not exceed
$500 a year. Out of this fund the
consuls used to spend for the neces-
sary entertaining on the Fourth OF July
or whenever an American man-of-war
put into port. In small communities
these receptions. even on modest
scale, have a certain amount of moral
influence on the natives. The position
of the consuls will henceforth be un-
