,By International News servlcc)

WASHINGTON, July 29.-With the appointment of Charles B. Warren, of Michigan. as ambassador to Ja- pan, President Harding has put the bulk of his foreign appointments be- hind him, and the conduct of Ameri- can affairs abroad for the next few momentous years at least has been shifted to shoulders other than his.
 It was a great relief for President Harding to get the Tokio post filled, It was generally regarded as the most important appointment the pres ident would have to make in the di- plomatic corps, because of the deli cacy of Japanese American relations and the great number of problems Of an irritating nature which the new ambassador to Japan will be called upon to face. It is no secret in Washington that the president wor- ried not a little over filling the Tokio post
 Up to today the Harding admins traitor has made seven major diplo- matic appointments since it came into office four months ago. It is inter esting to look at them en bloc. Two editors, two college presidents, one lawyer and two lawyer business men comprise the chief figures of the Harding diplomatic force. They are;
 Great Britain-Colonel George Me CIcnan Harvey, of New York, editor.
 Francc-Myron T. Herrick, of Ohio, lawyer. business man.
 Japan Charles B. Warren, of Michigan. lawyer.
 Italy-Richard Washburn Child, of Massachusetts, editor.
 China Jacob Gould Schurman of Now York college president.
 Chne-Wfliam Miller Co!!ic", of Washington, college president
 Spain-Cyrus F. Woods. of Penn syIvania lawyer business man.
 Outside of the countries with which the United States is still at war, or with which ifs relations arc only par tially existent, there remains only q few ambassadorial appointments 10. be made. although there are num- Der in the legation class.
 Belgium is yet to be filled. Braud Whipiock, beloved by the Belgians, is reported To be very anxious to Te- turn home at the earliest opportunity, and it is probable that his wishes will be complied with by President Harding, although there is reason to believe that the president would be entirely willing to leave his popu lar fellow Ohioan in Brussels if he would stay.
 Argentina, where Frederic Jessup Stimson holds forth; Brazil, where from the old administration, and Peru, now occupied by William E. Gonzales, are among the more i'm portant posts which the president 1 has yet to fill American affairs in ! uone of these are pressing. however, | and the administration probably will | take it's time in replacing those now there.
 Despite the never decreasing cla- nor for appointments, President Harding and Secretary of State Hughes have no intention of replac- ing a number of American ministers now abroad, according to those ia miliar with the appointment situa- tion. This applies particularly to those younger members of the Amer ican diplomatic set who have come up from the ranks and won their spurs through long and arduous work in minor capacities in the serv- ice-men like William Phillips, form CT assistant secretary of state and now American minister to the Meth .eriands; Joseph c. Grew, who used to be first secretary at Berlin in Gerard's hectic days there. now at Copenhagen; Hugh Gibson at War saw; Peter Augustus Jay. at Buchar- est and others.
 All of these ministers are compara- lively young men, although consid- erably experienced and the president and Secretary Hughes are inclioed to the policy that if a real American diplomatic corps is to be set up the men who have won their places on merit must be let alone and not sub iected to the winds of political chance every four years.
