with SNUG self-righteousness, to
personally abuse those who pre-
sented the facts and to assume a
hurt and injured air. Instead Of try
ing to perpetuate itself in part, the
Owl ought to 60 into complete
liquidation.
No pleas about how much the
country needs these trained men"
now that peace has come should be
allowed to prolong its life. At its
peak when it had nearly $4,000 en-
ployes the character and quality of
the Owl was never admirable.
There were, of course, some good
men but they were in an exceedingly
small minority.
High Level of Incompetence.
At its best the level of incompe-
tency was higher than any other
governmental agency. Long before
the German surrender the good men
began to leave.
With the German collapse there
were many voluntary designations.
The personnel has been reduced
from 10000 to below 5000. 1t is this
remnant the State Department
proposes to take over. No one will
contend that in what Is left is in
cluded the best of what was never
very good.
1t Is more reasonable to believe
that the remnant is largely made
up of those who hang on simply
because they have no other place to
60. Considering these things, it is
not surprising that our Ambassadors
and Ministers in the field shudder
at what is about to be loaded upon
them.
The Secretary of State ought to
give this scheme more thought
Members of Congress ought to look
into it's desirability. The whole tone
of the State Department will be
lowered if it is put through. Its
unwisdom will become increasingly
clear with the years.

the unusual weather stories told
