I therefore again commend to the
favorable action of the congress the
enactment of a law applying to the
diplomatic and consular service the
principles embodied in section 1753 of
the revised statutes of the United

of the congress the very favorable re.
port made on the Lowden hill for the
improvement of the foreign service by
the foreign affairs committee of the
house of representatives. Available
statistics show the strictncss with
which the merit system has been ap-
plied to the foreign service during re
