WASHINGTON
DAYBOOK
i
By Preston Grover
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22. —The
slate department has received its
“representation fund” for 1937
and again for 1938 after being
long years without it, but even
so the sum is so small it is
almost futile in present trouble
some times when such a fund is
badly needed.
The “representation fund” is
money for use by diplomats in
throwing parties for other diplo
mats and people who count. By
that means they create good will
—and get needed information.
The fund has had an unusual^
history. About 12 years ago, after
much pleading and representa
tion. the state department receiv
ed $60,000 to help its ministers
and ambassadors foot the heavy
bill for entertainment forced up
on them. It wasn’t nearly eno
ugh, but it was a starter.
Along came the depression and
a desire to lop off odds and ends
of appropriations that seemed un
necessary. The entertainment
fund might have survived but for
the discovery that some of the
diplomats sent to countries where
liquor was permitted—that in
cluded most—served liquor to
their guests. That was too much.
The fund was abolished and any
money American envoys had
from then on they took from their
own pockets.
The year 1937 brought a return
of the appearance of prosperity
and the state department, wonder
of wonders, received $125,000 for
entertainment. It was repeated
in the 1938 appropriation bill.
Envoys Underpaid
Traditionally, American diplo
mats are underpaid. The ambas
sador to England, along with oth
ers of the ambassadorial rank,
gets $17,500. His residence is
furnished by the government, or
rather on behalf of the govern
ment. Actually J.P. Morgan pre
sented the government with a
home for the ambassador in Lon
don severs years ago. There are
posts where the ambassador and
minister do not get residences.
They have to pay for them out of
salary.
Ministers, next in rank to am
bassadors, get $10,000 a year.
But frequently the cost of hold
ing such jobs exceeds the pay.
That is why ambassadors to the
big countries like England and
France are men of private means,
able and willing to spend from
their own pockets to keep up
their end.
Other countries for the most
part don’t put such a burden on
their envoys. The British am
bassador to the United States, Sir
Ronald Lindsay, reputedly gets
$75,000 a year salary and allow
ances. He lives in a very elabor
ate embassy out at the end of;
swank Massachussets avenue.
Other Salaries
Ambassador Saito from Japan,
gets $40,000 salary and allowan
ces, and a residence.
Both these diplomats can, and
do, entertain often and well. But
American ambassadors abroad
have only their salaries and a
split from $125,000 to ‘•do the
necessary.”
The equipment for one battery
of field artillery costs $250,000,
two times the whole amount the
state department gets for enter
tainment. But then, it has always
cost more for war than for peace.
