induced an important British oficisl
visiting in Washington-an official
who Is one OF the most important
worker for world peace to say:
Eve English are generally responsible
or partly responsible when there Is
trouble In the world, because our
'muddling through is sometimes done
in q very irritating manner. But II
war comes now, we for once shall not
have to take any Of the blame. The
person solely responsible will be the
President of the United States"
Even officials of the administration
hate to be reminded OF the London
Economic Conference. In that case,
after spectacular preliminary support,
Mr.. Roosevelt suddenly wrecked the
conference because domestic financial
and economic experiments were found
to be incompatible with its aims. This
right-about-face was a blow to all the
nations concerned. and was the be-
ginning Of the failure of world belief
in the good faith of the American
Government. II a man or a nation
is not believed his influence becomes
almost nil.
Bad Diplomatic Planning.
Nothing daunted with the failure
OF all the conferences it has attended,
with the exception Of the regularly
scheduled pan-American conference
in Montevideo, the administration has
called another great conference of
the nations Of the Americas to discuss
various problems which concern this
hemisphere. The story OF the prelimi-
nary work on this conference is the
story OF bad diplomatic planning.
1t Is customary for the inviting
government to suggest an agenda,
but in making this particular call no
outline for an agenda was included,
apparently because the American
Government had given little thought
as to subjects for discussion. Ques-
tions were naturally asked, and WASH
ington, at loss. got out OF it by re-
questing suggestions for the agenda
from all the governments invited.
The result Of this has been the pro-
poSal Of various matters the discus
sion Of which would be very embar-
RAISING. On the other hand, the
necessarily prompt elimination of
most Of them will instantly irritate
the countries which made the sugges-
tions.
Possibly the best explanation for the
calling Of the conference, which ap.
pears to be entirely unnecessary from
an international point Of view, has
been made by some Of the diplomatic
representatives of Latin American
countries. They said: ut must be a
matter Of domestic politics. An elec-
ton is coming on, and perhaps the
President felt that he needed a spec
tacular conference to help him along"
The very expression of such an idea
by foreigners gives a good idea of what
they think Of present-day diplomacy.
At any rate, the delay in getting
under way, has made it impossible TO
hold the conference before election.
For students of American diplo-
macy who have no political bias one
way or the other the diplomatic his

BY JAMES WALDO FAWCETT.

One of the most interesting WASH
ington finds" in recent philatelc his
tory was reported Friday when a rep
Power Co. carried to the Benjamin
Franklin Station of the City Post Of
fee box of unused stamped envelopes
Of the surcharged vintage of 1920-21.
The agent offered the covers for
redemption at the customary discount
proceeded in line with ordinary rou-
tine the company would have received
credit in amount of approximately s19.
But a postal clerk recognized the
philatelic significance of the material
and communicated his knowledge of
Its worth to his chief.
Thus it happened that the Pepco
representative was called back to the
Franklin Station and permitted to
retrieve the envelopes.
The covers later were shown to
Ralph E. Smith. who identified them
as Scott's No. 2705, technically de-
scribed as Type E-35, 2-cent on Accent,
U. S. Grant, chocolate, white, 1903
edition, overprinted for use In 80 diff
ferent cities in 1920-21.
Mr.. Smith appraised the envelopes
at so cents each and, since there
are $50 Of them altogether, it follows
that the Pepco treasury Is likely to
be enriched in amount of $50, or 80
times the expected redemption price
OF the discovery.

had no consistent policy-and could
carry out not consistent policy, If it
had one, when all sorts of people ap-
parently act as official spokesmen
without any consultation with each
other.
Opportunism In Control.
Opportunism has been in control.
Action has been taken, so far as one
can see, rather to enhance the do
mestic political standing .of the adj
ministration at the moment than per-
manently to improve international
relations. Lightly spoken promises,
forgotten as soon as made, have
caused foreign governments to dis
trust the American Government.
Our silver policy-an example Of
the fact that we act for domestic
reasons without remembering that
what we do at home must have roper
cussions abroad-has seriously in
jured several friendly nations and has
turned China away from its tradi-
tional dependence on America. Our
neutrality policy - not that laid
down by Congress. but its unwar-
ranted extension by the executive
departments-has brought a strain
on our relations with more than one
nation. If Italy had taken offense we
should have been on the brink Of war.
The attack on certain governments
made by the President in his address
to Congress on THE State Of the
Nation" irritated profoundly the
countries attacked. Everybody knows
that the world Is tense, that nations
are suspicious of each others motives.
The American Government during
the last three years has done nothing
Evening star., 1936-10-18

to allay those suspicious. to create
better international understanding.
On the contrary, it has added TO the
tension. 1t has talked sweetly Of peace
while 1t was interfering in the affairs
Of other nations and was feverishly
building up its military forces. With
inadequate human tools it has prac-
ticed an inept and often provocative
diplomacy. The record is one Of fl-
tDity at best. of positive harm to the
cause of peace in its worst aspects.

and his assistants. The bed of the
Secretary Of State has not been wholly
q bed or roses.
It has been difficult for Mr.. Hull
to assume the full policy-making
functions Of the Secretary of State
because he has not had proper as
sistants in his own department. In
Mr.. Phillips and Mr.. Welles, to be
sure, he has had two highly trained
men. But the Undersecretary is an
officer without imagination to initiate
policies-an excellent subordinate so
far as carrying out orders is con-
cerned. but unwilling or unable to
act independently and to assume the
burden of a large part Of the Secre-
tary's decisions.
The Assistant Secretary in charge
OF Latin American affairs is just the
opposite in character; he is perfectly
willing to assume responsibility and
to act independently even when such
action may possibly be contrary to
the policy of the Secretary. 1t would
probably be fair to say that Mr.. Hull
generally becomes aware of American
policy in Latin America only after
the event.
Looks After New Deal.
Mr.. Moore, who knows little or MOTH
ing Of foreign affairs, might be called
the political officer of the depart
ment. He looks after the interests
Of the New Deal and is powerful in
department councils because he is a
close personal friend Of the Secre-
tary and is in constant communica-
ton with the White House. Mr.. Sayre
is in charge Of the trade agreements,
and in his speeches echoes the Sec
retary's ideas on that subject. Mr..
Carr is an administrative officer; he
has never been policy man. With
the exception of Latin American af-
fairs, therefore, altogether too much
has been thrown on the shoulders of
Mr.. Hull.
But even if he had not had too
great a responsibility he could not
have assumed his rightful position
as policy officer because he has not
sufficient knowledge of foreign nations
and foreign peoples. Mr.. Hull is a
man of high character, OF sterling in
tegrity. But he does not know the
world: he does not understand the art
of negotiation. especially with those
of an alien race. He is an honest
politician.
Mr.. Hull is, theoretically, a rec
trader. He realizes that the su, len
adoption of free trade would wreck
the country, but he wants to reduce
import duties as soon as possible. He
saw in the offer of the Department
Of State the chance of a lifetime to
do just this through his reciprocal
trade ties. all of them to include
the general most-favored-nation
clause. From the beginning these
agreements have been his only deep
interest in his ofice-these and a
vague aspiration toward world peace
So Mr.. Hull announced to a not
very responsive world that his trade
agreements we're themselves instru-
ments of peace. Nobody quite knew
why, and nobody knows now, even
after the statement has received the
blessing of the President. Mr.. Hull,
let it be said. is quite as well fitted
by character and even by training
to be Secretary of State as many OF
his predecessors have been. He Ia.

John E. Lamiell, director of the
division of international mail in the
Post Office Department, is authority
for the statement that postal matter
from the United States is being de-
livered in Spain, despite conditions of
civil war prevailing there.
Collectors on occasion complain
about the great number" of new
stamps issued. But it may be won
dered if such criticism really is as
abundantly justified as it may seem.
A hurried survey of Scott's Stand
ard Catalogue for 1887 shows that the
United States has brought out since
January /. 1888, a total of 80 different
stamps, including the original and
unique imperforate gift sheets dis
tributed by Postmaster General Farley
to President Roosevelt and other
friends. The average annual produc-
ton was about %.
Germany printed 155 stamps dur
ing the same period, Russia 140,
France 35, Rumania 81. the Neither
lands AZ. Italy 50, Hungary 48, Bel
gium 10, Czechoslovakia 33, Switzer-

73, Great Britain 18, Canada 40,
Australia II. New Zealand 80. Cuba
43, Philippines 50, Mexico rs, Argen-
tina 80, Brazil 50 and Chill 81.
The total number represented in
this list Is Last or an average Of 81
for each of the ~ countries mentioned
approximately 18 stamps a year.
Different opinions, of course, may
be formed from study of the facts,
but the majority of collectors probably
will not fail to realize that new
stamps signify continued interest in
their hobby.
