I herewith transmit, for the information of Congress, a communication from the Acting Secretary of State, forwarding certain bulletins of the Bureau of the American Republics.
As these vacancies could not be filled immediately, the business of the courts would seriously suffer.
The law creates two new officers, whose aggregate compensation may be $12,000 per annum, without, it seems to me, a justifying necessity.
The law should at least have contained a provision for the continued discharge of their duties by the incumbents until the new officers were appointed and qualified.
