FOREIGN SERVICE Usefulness in Interna- tional Affairs, To give wider scope to its usefulness +in the study of international affairs, the authorities of Georgetown University have authorized the School of Foreign Scrvice to publish’ a periodical to be known as the Forelgn Service Review. Besides furnishing a permanent organ \ for the dissemination of its educational efforts, the proposed publication is de- | signed to provide a forum for the pres- | entation of practical problems in inter- | national relations and foreign commerce in their juridical, economic, political and social bearings. Distinguished scholars, jurists and publicists of other | countries have been invited to associate themselves with the new review, as con- tributors, and two members of the Georgetown faculty, Rev. Edmund A. | Walsh, S. J., and Dr. James Brown | Scott, are already in Europe to com- | | | | \ | plete arrangements for such collabora- | tion. Change Wrought by World War. Since the outbreak of the World War in 1914 there has resulted a wide di- vergence of opinion and practice in reference to the fundamental bases of international relations, Both interna- tional justice and peace are impossible, | the sponsors of the review believe, with- | out agreement as to the principles un- derlying the conduct of international | aflairs. “The School of Foreign Service has noted with concern during the 10 years of its existence,” said a statement e: plaining th2 purpose of the publica- | tion, “the growing divergence of opin- | ion and practice resulting in instabil- ity and confusion. It is felt that the | time is now opportune for a careful | analysis and restatement of the com- mon’ principles which would guide | nations in their conduct toward each | other.” | Georgetown hopes to make the For- | eign Service Review something more than a duplication of existing period- icals devoted to international relations. As the organ of a faculty special! ing in the training of an adequate per- sonnel for the conduct of mternnuon‘a uniqus character will permit it to be not only informative but analytic, critical and constructive, Padagogic Methods Included. Among other features it will under- | take, from time to time, to illustrate certain pedagogic methods in the broad field of international education now employed by the school and thus make available to a wider audience the ad- vantages already enj yed by the large journey to Washington from every State, and 20 or more foreign countries to_enroll in its student body. The School of Foreign Service will celebrate its tenth anniversary next ' the Review before then. A preliminary number containing # manifesto and a statement of policy will appear in the late Autumn, and the first complete number will be ready for January, 1929. It is to be published every two months. As at present contemplated, each number of the Review will contain four or five contributed articles from compe- tent American and fore! authorities; editorial comment contributed by the faculty of the school: a Bookshelf, de- voted to discussions of publications, elc.; an international chronicle; a run- ning Teview of major events affecting international relations, and communi- cations from alumni of the school now in the foreign service and from other correspondents. Since the Georgetown school has graduates in 42 foreign countries or more, the range of this type of correspondence is almost uA- limited. Committee in Charge. The committee which is making ar- rangements for the publication com- prises Father Walsh, vice president of Georgetown and regent of the Foreign Service School; Dr. Scott, chairman of the graduate committee ‘and professor of international law and foreign rela- tions; Dr. Willlam P. Notz, dean of the . s H. Healy, assistant dean of the faculty. Word has just been received that Dr. Glenn Levin Swiggert, professor of world economics at the school, has just been appointed head of the department of economics and fessor of world markets for the college cruise around the world.

A number of recent graduates of the Yoreign Service School have recelved appointments, among them Joseph Ber-" gere and Eugenio Ribeiro. The former will sall soon for Venezuela, where he has been assigned to the staff of the American consulate at Maracaibo. Mr. Ribeiro has been assigned to the staff of the foreign office of the Brazillan government. His home is in Rio de Janeiro, and he attended Georgetown four years, having received his degree at the commencement last week. He safled for home immediately after the exercises to take up his new duties, Other Honor Reciplents. Mr. Ribeiro was a member of the staff of the Pan-American Conference in Havana. He was at Georgetown on @ scholarship offered by the school to the Brazilian government and while here performed various duties at the embassy. Wilbur Gass, son of Frank E. Gass, who has been connected with the Smithsonian Institution for many years, was a former Central High Bchool grad- | uate who received his diploma last week from the Law 8chool. He is 25 years |old and has been a life-long resident of the District, graduating from Central in Program at Lewis Hotel Train- ing Bchool.

Correspondence of the Associated Pross, MEXICO CITY.--There are 30 trac- Mexico City where a few years ago no tractor had ever been operated. ‘The land, now given to alfalfa, young orchards, dairy cattle, had previously been a semi-arid waste, either produc- cies of cactus from which pulque, an in- toxicating native drink, is made. It was thought the land was useless for anything else. To Follow Farming. A man with a square jaw, a stern face and a firm eye—a doer, a fighter, but withal a dreamer—bought some of this land, pumped water on it, planted al- | falfa and fruit trees, put fine dairy cat- tle there, brought in a tractor. The | farm, where before there had been pulque production or nothing, became | self-supporting, then profit-paying. Others imitated the example. The dairy farmer is Plutarco Elias Calles. Likewise he is educator. clal idealist and reformer, military strate- ber 1 he expects to be dairy farmer and former president. One of the things he is proudest of is thal as a result of his demonstration 30 tractors are working in a little sec- tion where none were known before. Upon a small scale it is what he wants to see all over Mexico, That farm and tractor are his fore- He is never so happy as when at daylight in overalls he is out in his fields running his tractor him- self. He is at this job several mornings weekly as the snow crest of Popocate- petl and the mountain peaks encircling the Mexican plateau are crimson in the dawn. After several hours of hard physical labor at the farm he shifts from overalls to business or formal dress, depending upon his engagements, and motors to the National Palace to put in a full day at his other job of be- ing President.

Dorsett and Son Gather Thousands of Bulbs, Tubers, Seeds and Cuttings Be- lieved Adaptable to Agriculture. P. *H. Dorsett, agricultural explorer for the United States Department of Agriculture, returned to the United States after two and a half years of searching in China and the tropical | islands of Sumatra, Java and Ceylon for plants that may be useful in Amer- ican agriculture. With the assistance of his son, J. H. Dorsett, he made thousand; of selections of seeds. plants. scions, bulbs, tubers and cuttings. ‘This plant material, after passing in- spection to determine its freedom from insect pests and discases, and after be- ing grown for a time in detention as an tional safeguard against the intro- duction of pests, will be sent to scien- tific workers of the department, State, experiment stations and other testing gardens to determine its adaptibility to our conditions of soil and climate, its possible use for breeding work and other qualities. Such testing takes considerable time, often requiring 10 years or more, before the worth of a particular introduction has been suffi- ciently established to warrant giving it to the public. New Varieties of Wheat and Barley. Because of the importance of wheat and barley in this country and the in- creasing importance of soybeans and mungbeans, special attention was giv- en o securing new varieties of these crops. What is considered as perhafs the best collection of soybean varieties ever brought to the United States is the one collected by the Dorsetts in Manchuria with the help of R. W. Bkvortzow, a Russian botanical teach- ing agriculture in the high school in Harbin, Manchuria. Upor learning the mission of the Americans he planted 100 varieties of soybeans in the local botanical garden. When the Dorsetts visited the place in the Fall after har- vest they were told to take what they wanted, plant and all. This willing foresight on the part of the Russian scientist enabled these explorfrs to send the 100 -arjeties of soybeans to the United Btates in their entirety, thus saving investigators in this country a year's time in securing material for study. "yll estimated that 70 per cent of the soybeans grown in China are pro- duced in Manchuria and that upward of 9,000,000 acres in that region is de- voted to this crop. Bomething like 4,000,000 acres of soybeans was grown in the United Btates last year as a re- sult of previous introductions. It is hafnd that among the new varieties will be found some that are suitable for culture in regions farther north in this country and In other sections where the crop is not now grown. Mungbeans Held Staple Crop. Mungheans is another staple crop in Manchuria and many parts of China proper which is of coming economic im- rtance in the United States, sald Mr. rsett, In their native country they are used as mungbean sprouts, and are an important source of their best bean vermicilll, ‘There is a place for the munghean in this country and we ought wmne growing more of the crop, he »al Bixty per cent of the barley grown in the United Btates is the result of one introduction from Manchuria. Many varieties of barley were included in the collection because of their possi- bilities, Mr. Dorsett will ultimately recelve more than 500 seed packets of wheat, harley, soybeans and other grains from the far corners of northern Manchuria where agricultural explorers have been | unable 1o penetrate, No railroads en- ter that region and mail, carried by foot runners, may be several months on the way. Through the co-operation of the postal commissioner of Man- churia, D, McLorn, samples of these m‘k" crops are being secured from each of the areas served by 600 rural golul stations. Many packets of seeds nve alread, continually being received. When the collection 1s finally accumulated it will be a valuable source of new plant ma- terial for direct production and also for selection and plant breeding experi- ments, and one that was made at a very slight cost to the United Btates, #0 fur as the actusl cost of the plant | materinl s concerned, The expedition was further aided b‘v the Chinese Eastern Rallroad, through the hearly co-operation of M, K. Gordeyeff, chlef of the land depart- ment, in supplying to the United Blates Depariment of Agriculture ex- plorers, free of expense, & Pr!vflr CeAr completely equipped with living quar- come in and others are | | ters. They were thus enabled to travel from station to station, making stops {of a week or more to travel on foot into the interior. While the four major cultivated crops were sought in particular, the | ex) rs were on the lookout for | other plants, especially fruits, nuts, flreeu and ornamentals, that might | have value in extending our crops far- | ther north. On their return trip the Dorsetts came by way of Peking and brought with them a collection of 100 Chinese fruits and nuts from the re- gion Fa Hua Ssu Temple in the West- | ern hills some 50 miles or so to the | northeast of Peking. Among the newer species of plant life | collected worth special mention is a certain wild apricot found growing on the rocky Manchurian mountainsides otherwise barren of vegetation, except | for & few weeds and a little grass. The | fruit is very small, dry and mostly seed. | The tree is so hardy, however, that it | may possibly have use in developing | an apricot for regions farther nort | than the apricot now fruits. Since it 'grown but 4 or 5 feet high it has possi- | bilities as a dwarfing stock for orchard- | 1sts in the growing of other commer- | clal fruit crops In the Northwest. They also found a wild grapc that grows rank all over the mountains, where it is a heavy yielder and is used largely for claret. Its hardiness makes it of potential value for the breeding of a hardy table grape for our more North- ern section where grapes are not now being grown. Years of testing and breeding may be required, however, be- fore these introductions are available fo. the public. Wild Grapefruit from Jungle, A wild grapefruit, unlike anything ever before brought to the United States, very bitter and of practically no use as it grows at present, was located on the trip through the trop- ical jungle of North Sumatra. It may be valuable for citrus growers in breed- ing work. Propagating material of numerous bamboo varieties was collect- ed to reinforce the coming bamboo in- dustry in our Southern States. ‘The King coconut, the bect milk co- conut in Ceylon, also was made a part of the collection. It grows into a beau- tiful palm and may useful here for milk or as an ornament. The hull of the fruit is of a rich golden yellow color, - A unique feature of a frult industry noted by the Dorsetts was that of Win- ter storage, in the open, of the per- simmon in North China. There they say/ the unusual s.ght of fruit stored out of doors in & climate of snows and ice and unprotected except for a light covering of straw mats which, later in the season, is supplemented by an ad- dition of a light covering of loose hay, straw or litter, cornstalks, etc. Each fruit averaged about 4 inches in diam- eter. They were corded up in beds 12 feet by 18 or 20 feet in length and to a depth of 6 feet, Hundreds of Beds in Sight. Hundreds of beds were in sight along the terraced river banks, in orchards along the rivers and on the gravelly river beds. The open-air storage of such an important and valuable fruft crop, s0 unusual and interesting, is made possible on account of the com- paratively dry Winter with a quite even cold temperature and the addi- tional fact that the persimmon is & frult which 15 not only benefited by frost, but is not injured. by freezing. The practice |s perhaps without a par- allel elsewhere in the world, The per- simmon already has boen established in California, Florida and other places in the South by introductions from Japan and China made years ago, but there 18 a possibility of extending its culture through the use of new Intro- ductions, and especially In finding and Introducing stocks for the commercial varieties which are best suited to our reglonal soll and climatie conditions, - it Greenland's First Colony. ¥rom the Now Yok Herald Tribune Greenland was originally colonized by Beandinavians about the year 1000, but the wlull{ dwindled and became ex- tinet shortly before 1500, owing chiefly to the inroads of the Eskimo, The existing Danish colony was established in 1721, The nborigines, says Smithsonian Institution, are all of kimo stock and number altogether about 11,000, malndln% A very large propors ton of mixed bloods, who as a rule adhere o Eskimo cystoms and langunge, Down the slope of the hill there is a | | | | i | | | Student | editor of The Easterner, student publi- | cation at Eastern High School, at the | ters were awarded WRITER APPROVES | the rounds of art galleries and saw his EASTERN SCHOOL BESTOWS HONORS Editorial Board Headed by Donald A.
