Secretary Bryan today indicated that
he expected to be able very soon to
make an announcement regarding the
general policy to be followed by the
new administration in making appoint
ments and promotions in the consular
service.
The failure of the Senate in the closing
days or the last session to act upon Il
large list OF promotions in the consular
service has resulted In great embarrrass-
ment and in the three months tina. have
since elapsed that embarrassment has be-
come greater because of many additional
vacancies in the service through deaths
