Mr. YOXALL alleges. "Give us business oren for British Consuls!" our Chainbers f Commerce may cry for the thousandthi CELEBRATED time, but it is family influence, political ties, relationship to Parliamentary Ageute or to clerks in the Freign Office that determines the chaica most often. We do not appoint business men or even tinig up a special service for consular ports." Only * three of the first uine Consuls on the list passed any examination. One of the best "paid consulates is now held by an officer "who passed no previous examination and had no previous business experience or *Consular service." More than lack of business knowledge is sometimes alleged. At Olessa the British Consulate-General was removed from the commercial quarter to a suburb near the cricket and tenais grounds, necessitating British captains ettering and clearing from the port taking long ab-rides to get business transacted! The Hollowing are also recommended, and Again, there are far too few consular representatives. -Britain has-47 resident in are unsurpassed in quality:-
Germany, Germany has 85 in Britain. Thereare far too few British representatives in France, only seven in Belgium-and the one Consular agent has been withdrawn from Morocco, effecting a saving of £100.
