the smallest Consula,es. 10 be thrown as homes 10
hungry expecants who hang like so many starvel!ng
ours around the Executive table, other Governments
employ their most capable men abroad, and rncour-
age and reward them with continued confidence
and promotion. Through these agents mass OF
information is obtained. often times much more
valuable and much more in detail than can be
expected through regular and full Ministcrs-even

which may enable their Government 10 be prepared
for and TO adapt their wariike means TO any emer-
gency that may arise in tAe course Of erents
