Among the s in the United States, many of ‘are in Key West, exiled from their Wwe Jand and fleeing from the tyranny ofa ttator, the cry is as full of meaning and ignificant as sounded in the tur- bulent days of 1894, Tn one sense the battle royal soon to be staged between the wets and drys is an “unequalgontest. The wets must muster 36 states win their cause, while the drys have but 13 adherents to garner in order out a single defection, that number will be | unlucky for its opponents. A Senator Carter Glass in congress Mon- day asked to have the Reconstruction Finance Gorporation abolished and called it a “Destryetion Corporation.” It is sup- posed to lend money only to self-liquidat- ing projeets, but those $89,000,000 lent to banks which failed after the loan was made af gone where the Wee 33 DEVIL TURNED SAINT Thirty-odd years ago, outstanding menace, John D. Rockefeller ! was probably the most hated man in Amer- j ica. That the methods employed by him j in building up his great fortune were often ruthless and against the publie interest in | those days can hardly be denied. But now, at the age of 90, this same man finds himself beloved almost as cor- dially as he was formerly hated. In the | five hundred and fifty million dollars for the benefit of mankind. His benefactions touch the health and life of every person in the civilized world, ; and many who are still in a semi-savage state. Largely through his gifts in aid of scientific research yellow fever, which annually took its toll of thousands, has been practically banished from the earth. In a recent year only three cases were re- ported in both North and South America. Likewise hookworm, typhoid fever, diph- theria, malaria, small pox, leprosy and other diseases have been wholly or par- tially conquered through the millions poured into the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research ana the Rockefeller Foundation. Many other millions have been de- voted to the cause of education, thirty- one million dollars having been given to the University of Chicago alone, and gifts for all these worthy purposes are being continued from year to year. Thus, through a series of benefactions without a parallel in the history of the world, John D. Rockefeller has been trans- formed :in public estimation from a_ devil of the past to-a saint of the present. TO SEE NEW STARS Millions of new stars will be brought within the range of man’s vision through a new telescope, four times as powerful as any now in existence, to be built for the California Institute of Technology with funds furnished by the International Education Board. It will bé located on a high California mountain to be selected later. The present world’s largest telescope is the 100-inch refleetor on Mount Wilson, Calif. The new telescope will have a 200- inch reflector of fused quartz, which will present a more nearly perfect surface than glass. The General Electric Company has undertaken to built it, with the coopera- tion of Dr. Robert A. Millikan and other leading physicists. When it is considered that the present largest telescopes are able to ex- plore the universe to a distance of 100 million light years, the depths to which the new monster reflector may penetrate may be figured, but can not be grasped by the human mind. The most startling objects to be re- vealed will doubtless be connected with nearby heavenly bodies such as our moon and the planets of our own solar system. The question of whether life exists on Mars or Venus may possibly be answered. No statement as to the time required to build the new telescope has been made, but actualework~.will..begin soon. The scientific. world, and laymen as well, will eagerly await the new knowledge which is bound to be obtained through its revela- tions. TRAGEDY AS TEACHER It seems that it often takes an ap- palling tragedy to impress mankind with the necessity for ‘ordinary safety pre- cautions, and even tragedy fails to teach its lesson in most cases. The first systematic efforts to make | theaters fireproof followed the Iroquis fire in Chicago in 1903, when 574 persons lost their lives, although 600 had died 72, as 18 in Brooklyn in 1876. A new policy of constructing muni tions depots in unsettled areas followed the explosion of the Lake Denmark arsenal | The sinking of the Vestris has! in 1926. brought about the adoption of a new code of safety at sea, framed by representatives | of 18 nations. The explosion of X-ray films in the Cleveland Clinic, causing the woodbine | loss of more than 200 lives, resulted in a | twineth.

[1 is another type of training, but just as intensive. It has been less than a score of years since congress finally our foreign Service one of a career type, a ser¥ice in which capable individuals might. properly expect | promotion. That has been done and now only our ambassadors and min- isters to foreign capitals remain as political plums to* be picked by the victorious party each four years. It seems to me that they, to be “career” men, but it has not happened. Some of the foreign na- tions maintain their ambassadors and ministers in that classification and it has long been the conviction of students of the subject that such diplomats are among the best to be found in the corps at Washin: into the -y for the ap- piicant to pass a stiff examination, {t is not a test of grade school na- ture, The applicant has to know or more foreign languages; he as to have a rather broad acquaint- ance with business and finance and he has to satisfy a boarc of exam- iners that he knows how to conduct himself when he meets people whether on the business of his gov- ernment or in a social way. After he has done things satisfactorily, he starts to “school” under guidance of the De- partment of State which has a group of men who have been through the experience necessary to enable them to teach the newcom- ers what to do. The course of study entails not only study but work in the various divisions of the depart- ment where the applicant can see what is done and how and why it is done. He learns there all of the questions that have arisen between his government and others; he learns how they were handled and ihe results, and he ts informed of how pending matters are viewed. In other words, the course provides a perspective of American policy re- specting international affairs, and it he is good timber, the training he has received fits him to start shap- ing policy on his own initiative once he is assigned to a post in a for- j eign land, The. young diplomat who goes abroad enters on his duties with special instructions concerning ques- tons concerning the particular peo- ples and government where he is detailed. It is obvious that there are different questions to be consid- ered in western Europe than in Latin-America. Likewise, they are different in the Near East than in the Far East. ‘The department of State, therefore, has divided its work so that one section supervises relations with a particular part of | the world where the problems and the people have some common basis. To accomplish this end and sim- plify administration, six divisions have been created in the depart- ment, They are the divisions of Far Eastern affairs, Latin-American af- fairs, Western European affairs, Near Eastern affairs, Mexican af- fairs and Eastern European affairs. It will suffice to show the scope of these groups to point out that China and Japan are among the nations in- cluded in the Far Eastern division; that all of South and Central Amer- | fea are included in the Latin-Amer- ican Ust; that Great Britain and France are among those under Western European supervision ; that Albania and Bulgaria are listed as | Near Eastern; that Finland and | Poland are termed Eastern Enro- | pean and that Mexico is dealt with | alone in one division. Acting under the general vision of the secretagy, secretary, the chiefs of these divi- sions are the direct contacts of the foreign service personnel with their | government .: home. Of course, in a time of crisis, the secretary or the | under secretary is kept constant- { ly informed of every development, | but the routine guidance of our foreign policy after all is quite | generally conceived and executed in those divisions in conjuacgion | with the diplomat at his post of duty, be it a few hundred miles from Washington, such as ip Cana- Thus great tragedies sometimes serve | ay of in faraway Sumatra. to teach their costly lessons; too late, how ever, to do their victims any good.
