Diplomatic officers, forewarned of a Hoover shakeup, were honestly apprehensive lest the President increase commercial attaches' prestige at their expense. Only President Hoover himself can say whether they are unduly alarmed, but symptoms of his impatience, in the past, with the social graces of younger diplomatic secretaries, have not been wanting...
...quantity of punishment which should be inflicted is not the subject of accurate and equitable determination. In the last analysis it must rest with the legislature which ought to be responsive to the general will of the majority. The collective judgment of the majority as to the social menace of the conduct interdicted should control. But the question of whether punishment should be severe or not is as old as society.
