Only Our Rich Men Can Afford to Be Ambassadors
fi'T'HE new position of the United States in world’s affairs urgently demands
I that the agencies through which the foreign affairs of this government
are conducted be improved to a degree which shall compare favorably with
similar agencies of other governments
with which the United States main
tains relations.”
That is the theory upon which Sec- xfij
retary of State Lansing bases his re- $&5,oao\
quest to congress for the addition of A't'EAPw
$1,333,000 to the appropriation for his FOB, ?
department and for permission to re
organize our entire foreign relations
service on a basis that would add still
further large items of expense.
%. Leading the list of increases pro
posed by Lansing is a sum of $189,000
for salary raises to ambassadors and ministers at foreign capitals. Fifteen
ambassadors now receiving $17,500 annually would be raised by Lansing tc
$25,000 each; three ministers would be raised from $12,000 to $15,000 an<>
twenty-nine ministers from $10,000 to $12,000.
As compared to the salary of $17,500 allowed ambassadors at the chiei
capitals, for instance, with no official residence provided or allowances made
to cover same, Great Britain pays her ambassador to Italy $35,000, to Japan
$25,000 and to France $57,500, and, in each instance, supplies in addition a
well-equipped residence.
The result has been, and is, that it is often impossible to till an importanl
post with the man best qualified for the position. The deciding factor is not
so much his diplomatic attainments or knowledge of public and international
affairs as it is the size of his pocketbook.
I HALE HOLDEN WILL HEAD THE “Q” j
Hale Holden (portrait herewith)
and Claude George Burnham, have
been selected to take the helm of the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy rail
road and the associated systems
when Uncle Sam relinquishes control
on March 1. They are among the first
* of the rail kings to be named for the
coming era of American transporta
tion under private control. Both are
Chicagoans, and in years gone by they
have won their place as leaders of the
railroad men in the greatest railroad
center of the world by hard work.
Mr. Holden will become president
and chairman of the executive com
mittee of the “Q,” which position he
held before the war. As president of
the “Q,” he is also president of the
Colorado and Southern.
Mr. Burnham will be executive
vice president of the Burlington and
£ Colorado and Southern.
Mr. Holden was born in Kansas
City 51 years ago. Contrary to the traditions of the rails, he did not start
as a section hand. He is a graduate of Williams college and Harvard law
school. After becoming an expert in interstate law, he worked into the rail
road business from the bar.
KOREANS MUST
. STOP CRUELTY
SEOUL, Korea, June 24 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Complaints that the
police in Korea “sometimes go to such
an extreme as to put the Koreans to
torture,” have reached the governor
general of Korea, and Director Ak
aike, of the police bureau, has issued
an order to the provincial governors :
to put a stop to it. The director an
nounced that it was with great regret
that he heard, now and then, a criti
cism that “even of late, policemen
often fail to behave properly toward
the people.”
Referring to reports that the Ko
reans had been tortured, he told the
governors that “it is said the people
are apt to think the police and torture
are inseparable, the idea of the one
*eing. inevitably associated with that
of the other.” He pointed out that
even if torture were practiced only
in a few cases it naturally discredited
the whole system of the police. He
added:
“As you know very well, in modern
courts, judges rely on evidence rather
than on the confession of offenders,
and therefore torture has no place in
our police system. I trust that in
acting against any offenders you will
do your best to collect evidence but
never attempt to extort confession
from them by the brutal means of tor
ture.”
