NATIONAL CAPITAL H affairs is Uncle Sam’s “Shirtsleeve” Diplomacy ff/ /V) I ; 4®# ! m! l j \X7ASIIIXGTON.—Long strides to j * ” ward removing diplomatic posts from rewards for political service | have been made during President Harding’s administration, according to a report issued by the committee on foreign service of the National Civil I Service Reform league, j The report sav* the first year | “seems to indicate that an earnest cf- J fort has been made to retain the serv ices of men of experience and to ap j Point to diplomatic posts persons with qualifications in diplomacy.” The committee reports that five of i the nine ambassadors appointed by | President Harding were men with pre- I vious experience in diplomacy. Six of the thirty ministers now j serving In the diplomatic corps, the | committee found, were appointed on j the basis of their experience and eight were men appointed during previous Has Uncle Forgotten He Bought ’Em? I TV) YOU remember that Uncle Sam I purchased of Denmark in 11*17 i for $25,000,000 the Virgin islands, with . on area of 142 square milt's and a I population of 20,051? Well, if you do. that’s more than Uncle Sam does, ac cording to the Virgin islanders. Anyway, a delegation of three from the Virgin islands called at the White House recently and arranged for a conference, at which they hope to get the attention of this country directed to the troubles of our newly-acquired Islands. The United States purchased j the islands in order to keep them from falling into the hands of Germany. Wo placed a navy officer in charge, and seem to have all but forgotten the Islanders and tlielr islands. The dele gates who have come to get a hearing Insist that being under the Stars and Stripes is a hardship to them. Instead of a privilege. The original act of purchase pro vided that all residents of the islands would become citizens of the United I States, unless they recorded their wish jto remain Danish subjects. No pro j vision was made for natives of the | islands who previously had come to the United States or moved to other islands in the West Indies. They are Where’s the Hay Fever This Summer? t HOPE I'LLtST WENEKER toMMOttE COME 5 T "V eAl< ' O*-' TTNOLE SAM'S experts in several of the bureaus of the Agriculture department and the bureau of public health service of the Treas"**v de partment and the various medical bu reaus of the War and Navy depart ments are puzzled over the momentous question: What has become of the sneeze' artist this summer? Expert victims of hay fever, who usually count upon receiving the com miseration of friends and relatives about this time of year, are for some unaccountable reason pursuing the even tenor of their ways without the aid of a battery of handkerchiefs and nostrums. Of course, the disappointment Is Sugar, Senate and Charges of Scandal r"' IJARGES of a two-sided scandal | schedule of the tariff I*lll In the sen ate caused a furore that resulted in a general demand for an Invest!ga ! tlon. I Senator Pat Harrison (Detn., Miss.). who provoked the row, first charged ; that the United States government had attempted to Intimidate Cuba Into restricting her sugar crop for the year to 1,500.000 tons, so as to protect American cane and heet pro ducers f rom competition. He accused Senator Smoot (Rep., Utah) of writing a letter to Major ! General Chowder, In Cuba, ‘propos -1 ing that i? Cuba would reduce her ! crop to 2.500.000 tons, this country then would take under consideration i the maintenance of a reduction in the present rrifes on sugar." The Mississippi cum at or then read ; from a newspaper copy of a document j purporting to reveal an agreement he j tween certain unnamed senators and I the sugar interests whereby in lieu of |an Inereast of four-tenths of l ent a pound in the duty on s - ;gar, as de manded by American cane and beet producers, they were to he paid a sule sidy of $14,339,304. According to the alleged piar, Uds money wua to l*e administrations, but wore retained by President Harding. Four ambassadors, sixteen mins ters, t\\ < agents and one minister resi dent and consul general appointed by President Harding, the report says, were persons without any previous diplomatic experience. “While many of tl.e 21 appointments made of persons without previous diplomatic experience operated as a recognition of political obligations,” the report states, “the evil of such appointments is largely abated by the present administration and contrasts favorably with the records of the first year of other administrations. For this record. President Harding and Secretary Hughes are to be com mended. President Harding Is fur thermore deserving of commendation in that lie had selected for secretary of state a man of the highest qualifi cations and one devoted to the merit principle. The committee reported a still bet ter showing, “an unequaled record of adherence to the merit system” in its examination of appointments in the consular service. There lias been during the first 15 months of the present administration, the report states, “not a single exception to the rules requiring appointments through examinations in the consular service.” m Mw MSL citizens of Denmark, under the pres ent program, if they are citizens of any country, which some among them seem to doubt. They want that ques tion settled, so that those who wish will be granted American citizenship. The political troubles of the Island ers are not causing them half so much worry us are tlielr economic difficul ties, largely the result of extending the eighteenth amendment to them. The manufacture of buy rum was one of the foremost Industries of the Is lands under Danish rule. That has been killed under prohibition, as has been the manufacture of rum. They complain that the enforcement of our shipping regulations operates to liar Spanish vessels, n.d that the trade of the islands has been crippled. not hard to hear, but the reason therefor is perplexing. The fact re mains, however, that most of those who are every summer in the throes of hay fever and Incipient asthma are strangely free from the universal uil rnent. Many learned authorities have at tempted to explain the nature of the singular malady, hut your real hay fever addict takes no stock In tech nical descriptions. He knows that It comes periodically and leaves period ically, and that while It remains It Is violently and explosively In evldenea. lie has the consolation of knowing that relief is near In the higher alti tudes, but owing to the fact the neces sity of making a living interfere* with his freedom of action, that con solation has no practical value unless he can avail himself of It. Some hay fever victims fall heir to the affliction In August, 'but vet erans of the art acquire It early and lose it late. The dandelions ‘start It and the frost ends It. This summer, however, unexpected relief has been vouchsafed and sneezing has not been at all popular. Who An /Vk 'wsr/Gfr/oMWj raised by American refiners of Cuba* sugar by arbitrarily adding one-fourth of 1 cent to every pound of Cuban sugar gold In this country. The letter was signed for the “United States and Cuban Sugar Pro ducers’ Agreement Syndicate, Inc.,” by “Alfred Grover." Grover gave his address as 17 Stab- street, New York city, where. Senator Harrison said, he was In the office of Henry \V. Pea body Kt Cos. Strenuously denying any knowledge of Grover, his syndicate or any such agreement as alleged, Senators Smoot, Lodge and Nicholson of Colorado, Re publicans demanded that there should be an Investigation. Senator Harrison "gladly accepted the challenge," and Introduced k resolution providing for an inquiry.
