ASSISTANT SECRETARY LOOMS, the president endeavored always to SC lect for appointment men of integrity and ability, but experience was not determining factor in the equation.
 President Roosevelt after consulta- tion with Secretary Hay, Assistant Sec retary Loomis and members of his cab. inet not immediately Identified with the state department, has determined tc appoint hereafter to important places in the consular service men who all ready are in the service and have had that experience and training in minor positions which will render them the more capable of filling places of higher grade and greater importance.
 The change in policy does not extend the civil service to the consular service, and it does not extend necessarily consuPs tenure of office at any particu- lar place; but, it is pointed out, it does give reasonable assurance to the man ufacturing and commercial interests of the United States, which particularly are interested in the extension of the country's foreign trade, that in com paratively brief times all important consular situations will be filed not only by men of character and ability, but by men who by training and expe- rience are specially qualified to ad- vance the trade in the interest of the. Upited States.
 Secretary Loomis discussed with the, president several appointments in the service. that are to be made very soon. 1t is understood that all of the ap- pointees will be men who now are fill ing places of lesser importance in the service. They are to be promoted, and in turn their places will be filled by men who have not had the experience they have had.
