FOREIGN SERVICE
| PAY HELD0UTRAGE
House Committee Shocked
by Tales of Hunger of
U. S. Employees.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee is on the warpath again over
the low pay of foreign service en-
ployes.
In the opinion of Chairman Nc
Reynolds, it is Outrageous"
Testimony before the committee has
been that the State Department is
violating the minimum wage laws, so
low is its remuneration In some cases.
Committee members thought it bad
enough when the falling value Of
the dollar. salary cuts and increased
living costs combined to make Amer
ica'S, representatives abroad scratch to
make ends meet, but they expressed
open shock to hear that the normal
salary scale abroad ranged so low
that some State Department employees
actually hadn't enough to eat.
$50 per Month.
Chairman McReynolds has asked
the State Department for a list of its
employees in all countries where sala-
ries are under investigation.
State Department officials told the
committee that in one consulate In
Italy young American woman who
handled the payment of visas was
paid only $40 month and a $40 rent
allowance. This did not take into
account how much less that sum rep
resented when her check from the
United States was converted into the
foreign currency.
There are several posts in Spain,
the committee was told. where en-
ployes receive less than the minimum
wage required by the law in that
country.
Forced Onto Charity.
A salary equalization bill will be
pushed, McReynolds said. He hoped
to get rule today permitting early
consideration by the House. He looks
for no material opposition.
Representative Edith Nourse Rogers
Republican, of Massachusetts,. said she
thought one of the most shameful
examples of the conditions coming to
light in the United States foreign
service was that of representative at
Ottawa, Canada, whose salary and al
lowances had been reduced to total
of S99 a month, and who, when one
of his four children was injured, had
to transfer him to a Canadian char
ity hospital because he was unable to
pay the private hospital bill already
run up.

destruction of evidence by parties un-
der investigation can leave but one

From the standpoint of Jones and
Johnson, and Secretary Perkins also,
it must be said they are doing a
superhuman amount of work. 1t is
not inconceivable that they believe
they cannot take time out Of their
day-and might labors to go running
up to Congress every time any one
wants to ask them a few questions.
However, that will not make the sit
uation any better.
News Leaks UnsOlved.
The gr-r-reat national problem OF
news leaks from congressional COM
mittees was met with unprecedented
force recently by Representative Sam
Hill.
He noted that while his subcom-
mittee was writing the current tax
bill, accounts of the secret sessions
appeared in the newspapers every day.
Members were sworn to secrecy, but
still the news got out somehow.
So he adopted the strong method
of the school room. Each commit
tee member was given number and
a draft of the bill then being written.
The number of each Congressman
corresponded with the number on his
copy of the bill.

Perkins Case Cited.

House Appropriations Subcommittee
was hesitant about giving it to her.
She went to see the committee at a
secret hearing.
House men consider such hearings
strictly confidential If there is any
talking to be done about the sessions,
they want to do it themselves.
Miss Perkins apparently was una
ware of that, for she came out of the
meeting and gave the newsnen a
complete account of what occurred in
side. 1t was all favorable to her side
of the question, and not to theirs.
Cut Request in Half.
Whatever chance Miss Perkins had
of getting her four millions probably
was lost when the Congressman read
an account of their secret session in
the newspapers.
They slashed her hobby allotment
money exactly in half, offering her
two million.
That iUds quite an unusual step.
Ordinarily CongreSSmren accept
budget estimates 10ithout serious
question. especially tDhen they are
accompanied By teruent admins
trdtion appeals to Congress con-
trolIed overwhelmingly by the dd-
mintStration.
Some of Miss Perkins friends tried
to get her four million fund restored
when the matter was debated later
on the floor of the House. The vote
was Overwhelmingly against her.
Conditions Reversed.
In the pre- Roosevelt era it was con-
sidered bad for cabinet members tc
permit such misunderstanding to
arise. In those days the Congress
man, like the customer, always was
right in any of the Government de-
partments. 1t was not question OF
courtesy, but of self preservation.
House members based their decision
on the ground four million was not
needed at this time They had a
right to that view. But perhaps they
also recalled that the House Labor
Committee once invited Miss Perkins
to appear as a witness and she re-
piled by telling them to come to see
her. Or they may have read the
story about Senator Pat Harrison be-
ing kept waiting in an anteroom at
the Labor Department so long that
even his unusual patience was ex-
hausted and he stormed out, saying
he would not be back.

qualified by training and experience
to lead, and if they laugh at the gold
standard and no longer shake with
an ague at the specter of imitation,
what is to prevent tons of wooden
money. the confiscation of property,
and the chaos of the san culotte?
Nothing at all except the intelligence
and integrity of the public and their
sense of fair play.
If the people were an ignorant rab-
BILE, as Lord Macaulay assumed all
populations were, or If they were or
felt they were oppressed and ground
down by an arbitrary government,
very likely some such result would fol-
