HOOVER ENDS STUFFED SHIRT DIPLOMAT ERA Capable Men to Be Named Envoys to Leading Foreign Nations. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scrlpps-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—Revolutionary changes in the method of handling the foreign affairs of the United States are in full swing at the instigation of President Hoover. The old-fashioned hit-or-miss way of sending stuffed shirts abroad to loolc after Uncle Sam’s official business, or of putting round pegs in square holes haphazard, is virtually a thing of the past. In so far as President Hoover can have his way, he intends to manage America’s foreign relations as much like a competent executive manages a railroad or any other big business as possible, that is to say, by putting men who know their jobs in the particular Jobs which are to be done. Appointment of William R. Castle Jr, as ambassador to Tokio for the period of the London naval limitation conference beginning next month, is a case in point.

Able Man Gets Job The Tokio embassy is minus an ambassador and President Hoover, realizing the possible need of some rather important conversations between Washington and Tokio durin : the conference, is sending an able and experienced diplomat to carry on—a man thoroughly in touch with both Hoover policies and desires an.j the general international situation That is just one incident to show which way the wind is blowing. No sooner had the ballots been counted and the election of Hoover announced to the world that the President-elect set forth on a 15,000-mile journey which took him into ten Central and South American countries. His object was to get In touch with the leaders in as many Latin American nations as possible, so that, later on, he and they could discuss things in a more intelligent way—as business men and acquaintances disouss mutual problems. Rapid Progress Made The President’s face-to-face meeting with Premier MacDonald of Great Britain was another move in the same direction. Sitting on a log on the banks of the Rapidan In the mountains of Virginia, the two statesmen, in a couple of hours, managed to bring Britain and America closer to agreement than others had been able to do in ten years of long-distance negotiation. The Hoover idea is to put American diplomacy on a common-sense, man-to-man, business-like basis cutting out what Lloyd George calls the “flapdoodle.” As often as possible, it is announced, he intends to send representatives abroad who speak the language of the country, to which they are accerdited Also, it is said he aims to pick and choose, as far as he may, to weed out the misfits, giving every possible encouragement to career mep, though not the exclusion of political appointees who manifestly have made good at their stations. Doubtless President Hoover always will not be able to have his way in making appointments. Under the American system, it still is possible to bring a stupendous influence to bear for the nomination to a foreign post of this man or that. But insofar as he is able to work his will, American diplomacy seems in for anew dispensation.
