KNOX SPEAKS OPOII DOLLAR DIPLOMACY

Secretary of State Tells Benefits to Be Derived From It. of (National News Asnoolatlon) NEW YORK. Dec. 12. "Dollar diplomacy" received the stamp of approval of Secretary of State Knox in his address before the National Civic Federation In New York. He declared that the greatest good that can be done toy the diplomatic service In time of peace is the furthering of American business enterprises abroad and he announced his plans to bring his department to a high state of organization directed towards that purpose. Many expressions of astonishment were beard when the Secretary grasped upon the term "dollar diplomacy." He accepted the words, which he admitted had heretofore been used in a disparaging sense, as a creditable and bappy phrase, using the expression several times during his address. What Is Required. The Secretary said that the American diplomatic service would have to be organized Into a trained, permanent and non-partisan corps if the American people were to have with the people of other nations an equal chance' in the field of foreign commercial opportunity. Mr. Knox declared that the principle of civil service was already applied to the diplomatic service as well as to the consular service; that the appointments to the diplomatic ser-( Ice, up to the grade of Minister, and the promotion therein, were now based upon a rigid merit system. The basis for such an organization, he said, had been laid under the authority of President Taft'a Executive Order of 1909. What he now wants, he told the Federation, was to have Congress make permanent the principle of this new organization scheme of both consular and diplomatic services, by the passage of the Lowden Bill, now pending before. Congress. The secretary pointed out that it was quite as essential to the Advancement of American enterprise abroad to hare a trained diplomatic corps as It was to have a trained corps of conuls. He traced the change In the diplomatic service, showing its growth Away from the position of isolation in a purely political field to an important factor In the extension of American commerce abroad. As to The Open Door. "From being an organization apart," lie aald, "chosen by the favor of patronage and shackled by conventionalSty, it has rapidly grown to be the coworker and ally of the people in their Sorts to extend their enterprise, influence and material profits in fields f-'Bew endeavor. The 'open door' is ja good thing1 In theory; in practice two conditions are essential it must he opened, and It must be kept open. To do these is the function of diplomacy. In order to act Its part well the diplomatic service must be of the people and act for the people, first, last and all the time." Four changes were advocated by Mr. Knox for the establishment of uch a diplomatic service. First, the merit system. In accord ance with the civil service principles In use in other branches of the Government service, should, he said, be extended by law throughout the diplomatic service to cover all appoint ments up to the grade of Minister. This practice is now followed so that there is being supplied to all localities a corps of secretaries both se- ' lected and trained, and men who are now being sent to foreign posts have "grasped the first rung of the ladder quopped for success In their honorable career." Secondly. Mr. Knox wants either etter salaries paid to foreign representatives or ample funds for representation. He said that they should receive compensation which should enable them to live and to carry on their duties without supplying money from their own pockets. This was necessary he declared, if the State Department were to be allowed to choose the best men for the posts without being forced to consider their private fortunes s a qualification for fitness for a foreign post. A Novel Suggestion. The present appropriation available (for the purchase of embassies and legations abroad Mr. Knox declared to be entirely inadequate. He put forward the novel idea of the erection of buildings in foreign capitals by the American Government, from American deSigns, built of American material, and, even where possible, built by American workmen; so that there would be Indelibly stamped upon every foreign capital a typically American structure, as a permanent expression of American nationalism. Lastly, Mr. Knox discussed his reorganization of the Department in Washington. During his administration, he said, he had added a Counselor, a Resident Diplomatic Officer, and some half dozen expert Divisions to handle the vast and increasing bulk of foreign business on a more highly specialised basis than has been possible heretofore. These additional politicogeographical Divisions, the Secretary explained, are non-partisan; in fact their personnel Is largely identical with the foreign service corps, as the department transfers men from a abroad to these positions in Washington in order to give every man in the service a comprehensive idea of the working of the entire business of the department.

Two Animal Stories In Capsules

STORY OF A RAT Early in the morning the phone in the home of a local hardware dealer rang boisterously. Mr. Hardware Man placed the receiver to his left ear, as is customary, and said "hello," as is also customary. Into his ear rolled the words of Chief Gormon "You must kill that rat you have in the sanitary trap in your store window?" "Why?" quoth Mr. Hardware Merchant. "Because," replied the chief," a man has complained at headquarters that keeping a rat in a trap, even though it is not injured and is being fed, constitutes cruelty to animals." The fate of this rat. who wa6 having the time of his life, getting three square meals a day being immune from the cat and dog pest, is a sad one. He was executed in a bucket of water.

STORY OF A PIG The other day farmer Wuenker, whose broad acres lie south of the city, was strolling over his estate. A winter sun beamed on him kindly. Suddenly Farmer Wuenker halted and rivited his gaze cn a nearby haystack. At the base of it sat a stranger calmly dressing one of Farmer Wuenker's fat pigs. "Hey, what you doin ?" yelled Farmer Wuenker, recovering from his astonishment. The stranger impatiently looked up from his work. It was most inconvenient to be interrupted when his task was so nearly completed; still such is life, he philosophied, then remembering that discretion Is far better than a dressed pig, took to his heels.
