JOHN BETHUNE ON WAY|) TO BELGIAN CAPITAL Leaves Capital to Take Up Duties as Representative of U. 8. in ! Solving Tariff Problems. Bound on one of the most singular missions ever undertaken by a Govern- ment official, John F. Bethune, former secretary of the United States Tariff Commiasion, left Friday night for Bel- glum to represent this country on the Continent as an official economic good- will’ ambassador. * This new post was created for Mr. Bethune in the belief that tariff prob- lems have outgrown national boun- daries, to take on proportions of an in- ternational character. His duties abroad, as outlined to him Priday night at a smoker given in his honor by fellow townsmen in the Falls Church, Va., School, will be of a dual nature, As this country’s European represent- ative in tariff matters, he will be ex- pected to make a detailed study of the tariff systems used by fore! nations and re, his findings in this respect to local tariff officials. Of perhaps greater importance, how- ever, will be the service he is expected to render in smooting out misunder- standings created abroad by the new American tariff.
