State Department Inadequate The inadequacy of the State Depait ment is obvious. It has been during the present administration the nost maltreated department in t Washington. The spectacle Mr. Lansing made on the Btand before the Senate foreign re lations commHteo wa typical. He knew nothing of what happened in Paris. The countrj has plunged into world affairs, necessarily, as a result of S. the war, and its technical experts on world affairs have not been initiated. The United States has neither a for'co adequate in tlze, nor adequate in pxperiencc, to meet the new situation. America, whatever happens to the league of nations, no longer occupies n position, of splendid isolation. Hut its State Department continues to occupy , a position of splendid isolation. In f sire, to all intents and purposes, nnd inexperience, it is where it was when the war began, or even before, when the Wilson administration began and Colonel House was discovered. In power we nrc the greatest country in the world, lu experience, as the l'aris conference showed, and as future diplo matic exchanges are going to show, we are .not. Lansing Never Had a Chance events without becoming great. Iff tit its subordination. As the President did his utmost to demoralize Mr, La using, he did his utmost to demoralize the State Department. It has come through a great war nnd the making of n great peace virtually untouched. It might have been little, provincial and inexpert in the beginning, nnd big, authoritative, world-wise In the end if but the "If" was never realized. "Personal" Government So much for Its spirit.

The House organization there wns a joke. That is plain language, but the tuith. There were exceptions, but in the main it failed. What the fnited States hnil at Paris was a collection of amateurs. Pitted against the experts of the Ilritish foreign office they were helpless. They ceased to be advisers. They merely lived at the Crillon nnd enjoyed Paris nnd, when they could be darkened counsel.

Some executives reduce their subordinates to mere clerks by do Ing'isll the.-real .work themselves. Pres ident Wilson in diplomacy is of this type. Mr. Lansing as seen on the wit ness, stand is the product of the Wilson method. -The case of the secretary of state is tragedy. He has gone through great events in n great position and come out n rather wnallcr person thnn he teas in the beginning. The events through which the secretary of btate passed, the war and the Peace Confer ence, ought to have made him a great man. They could hardly have done 'otherwise if permitted to play upon him directly. They have not. They have left him an ordiuary mnn, always on the defensive against such an ex posure as took place before the foreign relations committee. It is not his fault, neccssaril). He never had a rhance. People sympathize with him. T.ren. the enemies of the President on the foreign relations committee did not enjoy the revelation of the secretary of Plate. They were sorry. What they did had to be done. May Get His Chance Ndw They will possibly be all the readier to atone for what they did by giving him the money to build a real depart ment, in spite Of the fact that he has developed, from the false position in which- he has been placed, the protec tive coloration of words to the point where he retreats behind such distinc-' tlons ira between "Austrian" and Arustro-Hungarian empire. Not a very big man could hide behind that dis tinction. And what is left of the Lan-. sing under Mr. Wilson's handling is not a very big man. But Mr. Lansing's personality is not important. It is only worth something as illustrating whnt has hnppenc.d to the State Department. What Mr, Lansing is, that the State Department is. Tou cannot crusli the licau ot a department without crushing the depart ment. The one tnkes after the other. If the spirit of one Is gone, the spirit of the other Is gone.
