ing been sent to the United States to
represent and interpret modern demo-
cratic Germany, he evidently cannot
reconcile himself to the new deal, Teu-
tonic model, which Chancellor Hitler
and his now all-powerful cohorts have
ordained. So, out of respect for his own
ideals, DR.. Won Prittwitz voluntarily sur
renders the Washington mission and
leaves a service to which he has dedi-
Gated his lifetime.
The American people will understand
the Ambassadors motives and applaud
them. The United States, neither its
Government nor its citizens, has any
concern with the sort of ruling system
the German people prefer to set up
and maintain. The sole American emo
ton In that connection Is one of sin
cere hope that the Fascist experiment
may prove all that Germany expects
it will be, despite the natural regrets
that must be felt in this republic that
Germany has elected to discard the
system which the American people pre-
fer and have retained throughout many
vicissitudes.
Ambassador Won Prittwitz and his
wife will take away with them the
cordial good wishes Of the people among
whom they have lived on this side of
the Atlantic Americans can wish for
Germany, Fascist or democratic, no
happier fate than that it may con-
tinue to be represented on the Potomac
by man of Dr. Won Prittwitz's uncom-
promising principles and high minded
conception Of honorable duty.

Foreign Interests Should
Be Handled by Specialists

To the Editor Of The Star:
President Roosevelt's denunciation ol
those white collar racketeers, the un-
scrupulous money changers who mus-
cled out the honest trustees Of deposi-
tors funds, affords deep, though belated,
satisfaction to reputedly moronic career
diplomats who. almost without excep-
tion, warned against the postwar spec
ulation in foreign securities.
What q contrast between the Million
dollar-a-year banker and his highly
rated subordinates, With their boasted
vision and deep knowledge Of foreign
conditions on the one hand, and, on
the other, the trained observer with no
question Of personal gain to warp his
judgment.
AS one OF those who, - early ~ 1872,
IN Europe and later tn Latin America,
repeatedly, both verbally and In writing,
warned Of the inevitable debacle which
was apparent to any one who, with un-
prejudiced mind, fearlessly analysed
the situation on the spot, there is q
certain satisfaction IN this proof Of the
value Of the trained diagnostician.
The quadrennial trafnc In titles II on
again at full blast! As . partial IN
surance toward reelection, the eflcacy
OF the diplomatic bargain counter has
been exaggerated in the minds of Pres
idents, while Secretaries Of State have
Deen handicapped by unskilled agents
abroad. A remark attributed to an ex-
PRESIDENT that he had to send . per-
sonaI representative abroad because the
Ambassadors whom he had chosen
would report only what was told them
Dy the foreign Offices, would seem a
sumcient indictment of the present
system. 1t Is also a witherina reply to
the contention that in this day OF essy
communications, diplomatic represent
atlVes nave no other role than that Of
rubber stamp.
The British have worked out a better
scheme. According to their editors
party services are rewarded by recourse
70 tne harmless expedient of conferrine
nopihary titles. Lacking such q con-
Venlence In the United States we create
amateur ministers plenipotentiary and
AMBASSADORS extraordinary whose repu-
tatlons Tor success all too frequently are
built up through a careful propaganda
Dy personal press agents or by an ad-
mmlstration hungering for further con-
tributions.
Is 1t not time that the Secretary of
state and the Nation be given a
nreak"? Why not, then, confer honorific
titles on deserving political grandees
and have our foreign interests looked
after by competent specialists. recruited
from whatever walk of life? The writer
has always maintained that the ideal
governmental foreign agent would be a
composite Of a high-class newspaper
correspondent, a linguist, LAWYER and
good contact man. Can such men
not be found among our one hundred
ana twenty millions or could we not
develop them. U. GRANT SMITH.

Ordinarily this is not an easy

dogs, just dogs.
A mirror is the last thing he Is ex-
pecting to look into.
Turning away from some kennels
where fine specimens of English bull
dogs caught his eyes, he turns on his
heels to 60 down yonder corridor.
He sees fellow looking at him in

Instantly he becomes angry.

He frowns.
The fellow frowns back.
He steps forward.
The fellow comes forward, too.
1t Is with a sickening sense that the
gentleman suddenly realizes that he
has been looking at himself all the
time!
Strangely enough, the "other fellow
Is often not the type of man our hero

Mrs. Julietts Low Of Savannah, O..

Mrs. Juliette Low Of Savannah, da.
who, on March H., 1912, summoned
eleven girls of her acquaintance to con-
stitute the first patrol. In England
she had seen what Scouting was doing
for the boys and girls Of that country
She had met Sir Robert Baden Powell,
and had caught the fire of his enthu-
siasm. She was deaf, not strong, not
wealthy, but she was an authentic
builder. Thousands of her countrymen
old and young, pay her the tribute OF
their gratitude and reverence.
But, Of course, Mrs. Low had . de-
voted army Of collaborators, and they,
too, are entitled to general appreciation.
Among them have been Mrs. Thomas J.
Preston, widow Of President Cleveland;
Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Mrs. William
Howard Taft, Mrs. Calvin Coolidge, Mrs
Herbert Hoover and now MRS. Franklin
D. Roosevelt. 1t has been an inspira-
ton to see the gracious and generous
interest which these first ladies" OF
the land have taken in their little sis
tiers. They have been leaders among the
scores of unselfish women who have
contributed Of their time and energy in
the good cause.
However, it would be an error to
imply that the Girl Scouts is merely a
colorless philanthropy. Truly, 1t Is
vigorously alive with the natural es-
sence of healthy and vigorous child
hood. Good citizenship is its goal, but
good fun is its method. The girls are
in intimate touch with the frank and
undisguised joy Of living. Especially in
their Summer camps are they en-
franchised with exuberant happiness.
A visit to one of their democracies Of
the woods and fields is an experience
worth having
America salutes the Girl Scouts and
bids them: March on!

Members of Judiciary
Should Curtail Salaries
To the Editor of The Star:

40 the EDITOR OF The Star:
During the current year the salaries
OF all persons on the United States pay
roll were reduced. excepting the salaries
OF members of the Federal judiciary
whose salaries could not, under the
Constitution. be reduced during their
terms Of Office. Provision was made in
the law, however, enabling those whose
salaries could not be lawfully reduced
to refund to the United States Treasury
sums from their salaries correspond
ing to the reductions in the salaries of
others. Members Of the judiciary, how
ever. have not made any such refunds.
Salaries of members Of the judiciary
range as high as $20,500. Other than
the constitutional prohibition against
reducing their salaries while In Office
there is no reason why they should re-
cefve treatment different from that ac-
corded to other Federal employees. Dur
ing a national emergency such as that
through which We are now passing it
would seem to be the patriotic duty Of
the judiciary, If not their legal duty.
to make refunds corresponding to the
reductions Of others. They should prac-
tice patriotism as well as preach it.
