DIPLOMIATIC PACE * 0SES LAVSHNESS U. S. London Embassy Needs| Paint—Entertaining Not So Elaborate. ! LONDON.—With diplomatic enter- taining today very much off the gold standard scale of pre-war times in this and other world capitals, the arrival of Robert Worth Bingham to assume his duties as American Ambassador at the | Court of St. James, inspires no visions in Mayfair of social activities at the n embassy in Princes Gate on| nd scale. In fact there have surmises that Uncle Sam really | ust be off the gold standard, judging | by the embassy's need of a thorough scrubbing on the outside, or & new coat of paint. Since the war, but more particularly since various currencies suffered d preciation, the diplomatic corps in Lon- don has been circumspect in its expen- ditures on social activities. Of course the cellars in those establishments have not been reduced to a few bottles of beer or mn odd bottle of wine, nor have the emissaries of foreign powers been placed on iron rations. But few of the diplo- mats are rated as wealthy men, and the necessary expansion of their en- tourages has reduced the grants for entertaining. It is probable, however, that during the World Econcmic Con- ference there will be a loosening of lhe! purse n| for not all the time of the delegates of the 66 nations repre- sented will be spent at the conference table. Grand Scale Pace. Before the war the Russians and Germans were held responsible for lav- ish diplomatic entertaining in most capitals. and only the personal means of a number of American emissaries made it possible for the United States em- bassy to hold its own under the cir- cumstances. In one or two capitals, however, the grand scale pace was at- tributed to the American representa- tive. According to veterans in the diplo- matic corps the need for economy is| not the only damper today on banquets or soirees. It is asserted that there has heen such a widening of diplomatic ac- tivities since the war that the sociall side no longer holds the importance | that it did. In the officlal entourage of most Ambasadors and Ministers room has had to be found for financial and commercial exmerts, and trade re- ports are among the most important| documents emanating from embassies and legations. In the last two or three years the commercial and trade attaches of the British service have made a world-wide survey of business and economic con- ditions. Their reports have been pub-| lished in London by the department of overseas trade for the benefit of British manufacturers and exporters. A treas- ury expert has lately been attached to the British embassy in Washington. There was a time—and not so long ago—when one of the greatest worries of the American Ambassador in Lon- don was the allocation of invitations to the royal courts and to the royal in- closure at Ascot, because of the num- ber of applicants and the wirepulling done on their behalf. Although com- petition is still keen for the few invi- tations at the disposal of the Ambas- sador, there are such major matters today to be dealt with as disarmament, tariffs, stabilization of currencies and war debts, Anether U. S. Ambassador. A newcomer to the European diplo- matic scene is an American ambas- sador at large, a post now filled by Norman Davis, a man of extensive Eu- ropean experience. Though Col. E. M. House occupled a somewhat similar role when he crossed the Atlantic early in the war as the personal of President Wilson, he swung round the circuit of capitals without a specific diplomatic title. Rapid means of communication in the Old World and the practice of ministers of state attending interna- tional conference make it doubtful whether other countries will add an ambassador at large to their regular diplomatic establishments. It is in a similar role, though, that Dr. Rosen- berg has been visiting London on be- half of Adolf Hitler, the German chaneellor. On occasion Britain has sent a special plenipotentiary to a| country where it was already repre- | scnted by an Ambassador. but there has | ]hm‘ no equivalent of an ambassador at arge.

Isaac Gregg. chief, information serv- ice, Post Office Department, was the speaker at the meeting of the Alexan- dria Stamp Club Wednesday evening last. He told of his experiences as a collector and as a writer about stamps. “When a youth at boarding school,” he said, “I was bitten by the stamp collect- ing bug. All the spare nickels and dimes that I could scrape together went for foreign and domestic stamps. I accumulated a very valuable collection of United States. stamps, especially of departmental issues. But one day one | ly. ple now engaged in collecting postage stamps, and he told me that there are today approximately a million col- lectors ¢f unused stamps in this coun- try and that throughout the civilized world there are more than twenty mil- lion. He said he based these calcula- tions on information received from philatelic authorities. “Speaking of Mr. Eidsness, it may be | interesting to you to know that the Philatelic Agency, over which he has/ direct supervision, was established in | 1921 with one part-time employe.‘ Stamp sales for the first fiscal year| approximated $100,000. During the | past three years sales have averaged in | excess of $300.000 a year. A large part of such sales represents profit for the Post Office Department, since no postal service is rendered for stamps ' purchased for collection purposes. So there is one agency of the department which has contributed its share toward wiping out the much talked of postal deficit. During the current fiscal year to date mail orders to the number of | 36,000 have been filled by the Philate- lic Agency.” Mr. Gregg paid tribute to Postmaster | General James A. Farley for his helpful interest in stamp collecting. “Mr. Far- ley,” he E:ophesled. “is going to be just as liberal as he possibly can in authorizing special issues of stamps. Naturally, he cannot act favorably upon all requests of this character that have reached the department, but he will give consideration to all worthy re- quests which have a historic or sci- entific bearing. He does rot intend to lower the standerd of philately by ap- proving issues simpl: because of a de- mand. Each case will be decided on its merits.” The George Washington Bicentennial series, Mr. Gregg said, brought the | Post Office Department a profit of ap- | Md. bhas announced a long list of | - g P | cachets for historic anniversaries.

They argue that auctions throw on the markets too large a mass of merchan- dise for collectors to absorb at present, with the result that stamps rapidly lose value. “But the open-air stamp market of Paris, situated just off the Champs Elysees, is a different matter.

Some one called up to say that a collection of stamps was being sent to Chicago, and inquired if he would care to see it before it went. “Being an ardent stamp collector himself, he expressed great interest. When asked to set a time for seeing the collection, he said, ‘Bring it over now.’ “When it arrived he dropped the business of state and for five minutes | immersed himself in stamps. Then he closed the album and, with a fresh look in his eyes, turned back to the problem of how to raise $3,000,000,000.” | ‘The children of the Woodridge Stamp Club, including Jane Baldwin, Peggy and Bobble Bonar, Raymond Borland, Betty Cross, Mary Jane Fauntleroy, | William Hines and Wallace Nye, have | sent stamps to this department of The Star for distribution to shut-ins.
