Henry Prather Fletcher, who last week assumed his duties as chairman of the United States Tariff Commis- sion, has upon him the burden of per- forming a task which, on the one hand, is technical and on the other hand is political, and a large theme of Wash- ington discussion is found in analyzing | his personal character as an omen to his possible performances in a post which deals with the most historic fundamental issue between our two | great political parties Mr. Fletcher, to begin with, is a soldier and rough enough. There is in him a great virility, a great brisk- ness, a great hardness. It was not inappropriately that he served in Roose- velt's “Rough Riders” in the Spanish American War as a private and after- | ward as a first lieutenant for two years in the suppression of the “Philip- pine insurrection.” He would make a | perfectly good Marine Corps comman- dant. Leathernecking would not be out of his line at all. Treating 'em rough would be easy for him. For some 25 years he was a professional diplomat. ~ It would take at least 10 ordinary professional diplomats to provide enough leather to equip the psychology of one Marine. Mr. Fletcher | could by himself rough-stuff a Marine and have plenty of material left over ites in our diplomatic service, it may be | that a dozen or so of them were put | there to balance Mr. Fletcher. | Also Man of Polish. Next, though, Mr. Fletcher is a man of polish. He can be an exquisite not a delicate one, but a very ing one. He knows all the necessary social routine and has all the requisite social address—and more. He also has all the obligatory hats, coats and shoes He additionally has a country house. He further has memberships in our best clubs. His dining orbit is in our best circles. He can dine and tea up to the severest diplomatic standards To this point, then, he is the soldier socialite. Add to his ingredients now a realism which gives him what few soldiers and few socialites have—strong | political horse sense. | Thorughout his long diplomatic career —in Latin-America, in the Orient, in Europe—rising from legation secretary all the way to Ambassador—he never lost touch with the actualities of the politics of the United States. He also | never ceased to be wholly American. He is as unforeignized as if he had never set foot outside this country He is aware of the whole world, but | mended | aware of it through the medium of an incurably American consciousness. In flowering, he never lost his roots. He knew precisely how to get along in Rome with the Romans, but could re- sign his ambassadorship to Italy to become at once a figure of interest in the politics of Pennsylvania. There is perhaps no_other instance in our history, since John Quincy Adams, of an American so much diplomatically abroad and yet still so politically at home. He has never joined® himself to those traveled Americans who preach to the United States a career of world- wide self-sacrifice which domestic TARIFF BOARD STATESMANSHIP CAECK FORCOSTE SGNED BY TEXAN |Easterwood Returns From Europe With Trunkful of Dallas Flight Clippings.

Easterwood, who is something of a fiyer himself—he always travels by air when he can—has been trying for three years to get some one to fly from Rome to Dallas, or Paris to Dallas or Dallas to Hongkong or the other way, some sort of spectacular flight with Dallas either as the starting point or the fin- ishing point. Now he’s happy. One teason he offered the prize was because he's intensely interested in avi- ation.
