He joined recently with the Democratic Commissioners in officially advising the President to reduce the import duty on sugar-advice which has so far been ignored. But Mr. Culbertson has none of the insurgent's zest for battle. To cause embarrassment, embarrasses him. He was willing to resign with honor. The President surveyed the field of honors. There was Peking-but that, he was determined, should go to John Van Antwerp MacMurray, specialist on Oriental diplomacy (TIME...
