CHOICE OF WOMEN AS ENVOYS LAUDED | Diplomatic Audience at A. U. Hears Further Appointments *Inevitable.” Praising the reported selection of | Mrs. J. Borden Harriman as United | States Minister to Norway, Dr. Ellery C. Stowell, professor of international | law at American University, yesterday | predicted that women “inevitably” will | be appointed in larger numbers to such important posts. Dr. Stowell was asked by a member of his diplomatic audience at a lecture at American University, “What do you | think of women as diplomats?” | “I think women are born diplomats.” he replied. “There have been women | sent on important missions. I expect to see further developments in the appointment of women. It is inevit- able. “If you put distinguished women in the diplomatic service,” he declared, “they will give a good account of them- selves, and will be of general advantage to the United States.” | For the present, however, Dr. Stowell believes it would be better to place American women as Ministers by ap- pointment instead of in the regular foreign service. If they go unmarried into the regular career foreign service, he warned, they might get married, in which case they would have to either separate from their husbands, carry them around on their various assign- ments, or else leave the service, with the Government thus losing the ad- vantage of the woman's training. Discussing the State Department, its functions and operation, Dr. Stowell declared “the worst defect in the department is the lack of a career service in the home work of the department. “We have as good a foreign service now as is to be found anywhere,” he said. ‘The next speaker in the series of lectures for the diplomatic corps, at American University, on “Political Institutions of the United States,” will be Dr. Henry B. Hazard, assistant to the Commissioner of Immigration, who | will deliver an address next Tuesday afternoon on “Immigration and Natur. alization.” ADMR.

Peary, discoverer of the North Pole. Officials recalled that 28 years ago, | on April 6, 1909, Peary achieved renown and culminated years of effort | by reaching his goal.
