Highly Polished Type

Welles is the most finished and

diplomat and has devoted his en-
tire life to that end.
Secretary of State Hull may not

the power and authority over adj
miniStration Of state department
affairs will in any event remain
in Welles' hands through presi-
dental preference as we'll as
Welles' own ability and vigor.
At as, Welles has a record OF
service as immaculate as his
grooming and equally impressive.
He was the first to recognize
the Importance of Latin America,
as a neighbor and policy, and
stubbornly promoted his theories
through an era arid of interest in
that direction.

with the diplomatic service came
during the Coolidge administration

was holding down the job of chief
Iof Latin-American affairs in
Washington at the unheard of age

Some claim the break came be-
cause of party differences-Welles
being a Democrat, while the late
President Coolidge was a Repub-

Move TO Country Estate
At Oxon Hill, Maryland

Shortly after his marriage TO
Mathilde Tow send in 1925,
Welles and his bride moved into
the magnificent country estate
Oxon Hill. Maryland-which is
now their Summer home.
Whatever the battle with Coo
lidge not little of it was based on
Welles' violent dislike and disap-
prevail of Americ as dollar
diplomacy" of that era.
His dreams for a working and
substantial good neighborship with
South America date back TO his
appointment TO the American en-
baSSy in Buenos Aires in 1917,
after two years in Toxic where he
acquired an unrelenting hatred of
the Japanese.
When Roosevelt moved into the
White House in 1888, he promptly
made Welles assistant secretary OF
state.
His first foreign assignment
under Roosevelt was as ambaSsa-
dor TO Cuba-and there are con-
!, fliCting reports as to whether he
made fizzle of the job or not.
\ Revolt had Cuba in a turmoil
and both sides appealed to Welles
for help.
/. He scrupulously refused IL use
! United States pressure to solve the
dilemma and was hanged in effigy
in Havana streets.
f If Welles' recall rung up fail
ure for him. he did scrape a VIC
tory from the debacle by removing
the Platt amendment and thereby

eventually followed also had

ticateS.
Ladies are flattered and de-
lighted to receive any attention
from the six-foot-three gentleman
with the wry smile, and courtly,
if stiff, manners.
Welles is a handsome man and
the high forehead, neat clipped
mustache and white-touched tenn
pies give him a decidedly roman
tic air whether he likes ii or not
and the chances are he likes 1t.
A first encounter with the un-
dersecretary is apt to be rather
numbing in its lack of warmth
and state department smaller fry
called on the carpet often come
out blue around the gillS and
hunch-shouldered - as if frost
bitten.
Diplomats who have felt the
blast of icy WelleSian wrath de-
scribe him variously as MIR.

Standing plumb-line straight 10
one side of his shining and unlit-

awe-inspiring. First words come
hard and the thought keeps pop
ping up that you are boring the

His trick of standing absolutely
still for long periods of time, eyes
directly on the caller, does not
exactly put one at ease and has
been known to unnerve many a
less disciplined diplomat.
Nonetheless, if Welles is reSpon-
sible for many cases of chilbains,

and enemies agree that he is a
