By the Associatet Press Herbert Hoover closed his desk last| night for his trip to New England, where | tomorrow night he will speak at Bos- tori, the principal .city im an area over whose vote Republican leaders have | been frankly concerned. The Republican presidential candi- | date during a busy day welcomed a| group of representatives of the trade | press and of various individual trades and industries and went into a renewed study of the general political situation in a series of conferences with party | leaders. | Expressifig his appreciation to the group of trades and industrial repre- | sentatives, the nominee welcomed the | members of his own engineering profes- | sion and called to their attention the | new relation of Government to business. | “The presence of representatives of | the business associations here takes me back over seven years of work in the Department of Commerce where we have endeavored to carry on with you many enterprises in the public inter- est,” he said. Federal Co-operation Cited. “That work has been carried out through co-operation by the Govern- | ment representing public interest with | representatives- of - various busiriess | groups of the country in the further- | ance of matters which are in public interest. “It is in fact a new relationship of | t to business.

Twenty-seven “career men” of the 54 American Ambassadors and Min- lers are threatened with termination of their service with the Governme; because they have shown enough abil- ity to become chiefs of their posts, | should the custom which dictates that they offer their resignations to the followed next March. | Officials of the State Department in revealing these figures yesterday also | admitted that the career men who are forced to resign face not only the| ruin of their life work but the loss of at least a part of their retirement ny. ¢ This condition. which long has been the subject of criticism, has become especially serious since the enactment four years ago of the so-called Rogers act, which placed the foreign service on a permanent basis and which w ed to offer to ambitious young Americans life careers of honor, dignity and distinguished service to the Nation. | Under the Rogers act the induce- ment is held out that young men enter- ing the foreign service and meeting its stringent requirements successfull eventually may hope to work them- | selves up through the service to the high post of minister and even am Because of the custom which | calls for the resignation .of officers of this rank, however, the attainment of | these goals of a lifetime of service brings with it the threat of a speedy | separation from the diplomatic corps | for political reasons alone. { ‘This unfortunate state of affairs has | been forcibly called to the .attention of | the American people during the past few days. Several Ministers, in this city on leave from foreign posts, have | been asked informally whether they will bow to custom and tender their resigna- tions when President Hoover or Presi- dent Smith takes oath of office next March 4. Agree Among Themselves. One published report, which has not been affirmed, and which, in fact, has been denied by Secretary of State | Kellogg, in dicates that American Min- | isters in approximately a score of | foreign countries have agreed privately to flout custom and withhold their resignations next Spring. State De- partment officials, however, hold it to be extremely unlikely that any such acreement has been made, owing not only to the geographical scattering of the envoys, but also to the common knowledge that the withholding of a could not prevent the re- the President. It is known, however, that the question has been discussed freely by foreign service -men of all ranks. Many of the chiefs of United States embassies and legations have been ele- vated to those posts as reward for long, faithful and meritorious service in the | in the diplomatic corps that for them even to go through the form of sub- mitting a resignation, even thought it may not be accepted, is essentially un- Jusc. ‘The hardship of the custom is il- lustrated ‘in the cases of two foreign service officers who have just been ap- | pointed to the posts of Minister and | whe. have pot yet_bad “ln&ylg assume | their new posts. They are H. F. Ammr; Schoenfeld, of the District of Columbia, | counselor of embassy at Mexico City, | who has been appointed Minister at | Sofia, Bulgaria, and Warren D. Rob- bins of New York, counselor of em- bassy at Rome, appointed Minister to Mode Service Life Work. Robbins years. Schoenfeld, who is but 39 years old, is the youngest Min- ister n this Nation's foreign service. | ‘Though their appointments .have been made in the fag end of the present ad- ministration and they will not even | ive an adequate opportunity to dem- onstrate their ability as chiefs of of- fices in the countries to which they have been assigned, custom requires that, after less than six maqnths of service, they must hand in their resig- nations next March. Should the resig- nations be accepted 'the fruits of two decades of struggles must be lost to them just as success is within their Among the former “career men” who | have risen to the highest honors open | to them in the diplomatic corps are | five Ambassadors: Henry P. Fletche. at Rome: Edwin V. Morgan, Rio de | Janeiro, Brazil: Hugh S. Gibson, Brus- sels, Belgium; Joseph C. Grew, Con- stantinople, Turkey, and Robert Woods Bliss, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Among the Ministers who have been appointed from the foreign service and | whose resignations will be in order March 6 are three who have been ap- | pointed within the past year: Hugh R. Wright-Budapest, Hunga land Harrison, Stockholm, Sweden. Under the terms of the Rogers act a retirement system has been set up for { the foreign service, each member of the service contributing 5 per oent of his salary toward this fund. “The law provides that appointment of a mem- : ber of the foreign service to the post of Minister or Ambasszador automati- cally terminates his career in the for- eign service, but the retirement law protects his interests by providing that he shall continue to be entitled to re- tirement benefits in the same manner POSTS MARCH 4 Above: H.

During his year in the State Department's Foreign Service School the applicant is paid an annual salary of $2500. Should he pass the exceedingly rigid examinations upon the conclusion of his long training period, he enters the service as a vice consul and faces yea! of work in which there is little of col or glory. It is only after long applica- tion that he is able to rise to positions of responsibility and real opportunity. No foreign service officer ever has been appointed to even a ministerial post in the smallest foreign country where this office is maintained. without at least 18 years of activity in the forcign service. Oppose Political Action. ‘There is no disposition on the part of career men, however, to take the power of appointment and removal of Am. bassadors and Ministers from the Presi- dent. They feel that this is a right the President should have, and a right which is guaranteed to him under the Constitution. ‘They do believe, however, that a man who has devoted his life to the service of his country abroad, who has severed his ties with home and friends and submitted himself entirely to the ¢alls of his dutles, should not be re- moved from the service merely as a political expedient. President Coolidge has shown no diss position \to go into the matter, it was learned at the White House. Whether the career men who have been elevated tq the posts of chiefs aft embassy or legation’ should remain &t their posts after the present administration goes out, he has 16t it be known, is a mef ter for the next President to decide. The President is satisfled that the Constitution gives him authority to select his own diplomatic representa- tives and that it is for him to decide whether ‘they shall be from the ranks of the career men in the foreign serve ice or from the outside. President Coolidge, it is said, real- izes that this country has been en- deavoring for a number of years to build up a foreign service of‘the high- est quality by promotions within the ranks, but he feels at the same time that there should be some precautions taken to prevent the establishment of & purely self-perpetuating foreign serv- ice system.

That | he turned over some farm votes to the Democratic perty is undoubtedly true, but that he has set the prairies on fire | as a crusader for the farmer is not true, | | not up to the present time. Plenty of | | the farmers out in this section have | been up in arms against the Repub- | licans ause legislation which they | wished was not enacted into law. ‘While some of the farm leaders have announced themselves as believirg that Gov. Smith was the better bet for the farmers of the two presidential candi- | dates, the rank and flle have yet to be convinced that such is the case. Not a few of them have been bewildered by Gov. Smith's talks on the farm problem. On the whole a great many of the farmers would rather take their shances with Hoover and the Republican party than switch over to the Demo- crats, Other Issues Figure. ‘There are Democratic farmers who do not care for Smith’s stand on the wet and dry issues; even out here the | religious issue, so-called is cutting its| n{ure‘ though there is little open talk of it. The Democrats are still look- ing hopefully to Senator Norris, the | progressive Republican leader in_the | Senate, to come out for Smith. Sen- | ator Norris has praised Gov. Smith's | addresses on water power and on the | farm problem. But he has made no i:eclnrmon for the Democratic candi- | date. | | I have talked with some of sen-i | ator Norris' close friends here. and | they say they do not expect him to make any announcement for the Demo- | cratic ticket. He may not come out | for the Hoover ticket either, they say.| But at least he will say nothing for | Gov. Smith in the way of an actual declaration for him. | The Democrats are constantly put- ting forth the suggestion that Norris is with them. It is not difficult to see, however, that if Senator Norris in the end does not come out for the Demo- | cratic nominee they may lose thereby. Four years ago Senator Norris was friendly to the La Follette candidacy for President, but Senator Norris did not, like Senator Frazier of North | Dakota. Brookhart of Iowa and the; late Senator Ladd of North Dakota, | come out for La Follette. | Would Swell G. 0. P. Vote. ‘While it is admitted that Senator Norris has a great following in this State and that if he came out for Smith he would carry some of the Re- publican and independent voters with him, however, there are keen observers here who say that no matter whether Norris declares for Smith or not the Democratic nominee cannot carry Ne- braska. The farm issue and the water- power issue are secondary here to the prohibition issue and the religious issue, with the Tammany issue running third in all probability. On the other hand, if Senator Norris should let it be known finally that he favored the election of Mr. Hoover, there is no doubt but what he would | help swell the Republican -vote. Indeed, there is here a very real in- terest in what Senator Norrls msy do. He has declared that water power is 8 paramount issue in Amerjca. today and that he is more interested in the re-election of a half dozen Progressive Senators, some Republicans and some Demoerats, than he is in the |presi- dential race. He is speeking- for thess Progressive candidates and will |come into Nebraska the latter part of this month to speak for Senator Howell, his colleague. Howell Out for Hoover. Senator Howell is & Progressive Re- Ppublican. He has aligned himself squarely with the Hoover ticket and has been campaigning for Hoover until a couple of weeks ago, when he fell and injured a leg. He is in a hospital in Omaha now and likely to remain there for another week or 10 days. He hopes, however, to be back in the fight be- fore the campaign is over. It is clear that if Senator Norris should cast himself into the presidential campagin on thé side of Gov. Smith it would not tend to help Senator Howell, “;h;lld.l stlapom?:h:lrb,efloovar‘.l Even, it , there mi reprisals agal; the Progressive Senator " AP From North Carolina comes the news that Senator. Simmons has delivered an address at an anti-Smith Democratic meeting, attacking the Smith candidacy. A declaration by Senator Norris in favor of Gov. Smith would be no more effec- tive in this State than is the activity of Senator Simmons against Smith in North Carolina, and might be less effec- tive. Indeed the fact that Senator Simmons has taken the stump against Swith even in one speech, may have a galr;renchmx effect in the Tar Heel Late. Hoover Is Favored. ‘The Democratic leaders, from Gov. Smith and Senator Robinson on down the line, have said over and over again that the Smith opposition is really o. religious grounds and that prohibition was merely put forward as a smoke screen to hide the real objection to Gov.

In Nebraska the religlous issue has been brought forward by Democrats. too, who have sought to make it appear that the whole opposition to Gov.

And here, as in other States, there is a tendency to divide on religious lines, There is a very consid- erable number of Catholics in Nebraska, but a far greater number of Protestants. Deplore Religious Issue. Both Republicans and Democrats de- plore the fact that religion has entered the campaign as cn issue. But they recognize it is there. The aroused is too strong, they say, to de- terminate it now. Outside of Omaha, Nebraska is strongly dry in sentiment. It_is true that many of the German-Americans are wet and wish to see the dry laws re- pealed or amended and many of them are on the farms as well as in the cities. | But take it by and large, the State is dry. . This sentiment is no aid to the cause of Gov. Smith here. Where he may gain Republican wet votes he will lose, it is said, more Protestant Demo- cratic votes. The German-Americans in this State are rather evenly divided between Cath- olic Germans and Lutheran Germans, Smith, it is sald, will get practically all of the former and few of the latter. 'FOUR HURT IN CRASH OF TRUCK INTO TREE Machine Driven by Police Captain's Son Leaves Road—Two Girls and Boy Also Injured. Four persons were injured, three of them serlously, early last night when @ truck, driven by Norman Sheetz, 20, & son of Police Capt. Ira Sheetz, crashed into a tree while rounding a curve on the Conduit road at Cropley, Md., near Great Falls. In addition to Sheetz badly injured were Ada Guillot, 15, and Helen Strobel, 14. The fourth victim was Clarence Penn, 14. All were taken to Georgetown Uni- versity Hospital by Francis Day and| Francis Hill, both of Cropley, who wit- nessed the accident. Day said he saw the truck on the road and just as it started to make the turn he heard the occupants scream, and a few seconds later it crashed into a tree on the side of the road, skidded around and went partly down an embankment, but did not capsize.
