ADMINISTRATION PRAISED OBSERVING MERIT SYSTEM IN APPOINTMENT POSTS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Definite progress was made during the first year of the present Administration toward the elimination of diplomatic and consular posts from that class of Federal offices which in the past have been considered political pap"
 This is the conclusion drawn by the National Civil Service Reform League, in a report issued recently from an examination of the record ot President Hardings appointments to offices in the Diplomatic Service.
 President Harding's record seems to indicate, according to the report that "an earnest effort has been made to retain the services of men of experience and to appoint to dip { lomatic pests persons with qualif1- Saations in diplomacy"
 The committee found, for exam pie, that five out of nine Ambassa- dors appointed during the present Administration were Iueu ol piS- vious experience in diplomacy.
 "For this record President Hard ing and Secretary Hughes are to be commended. President Harding is furthermore deserving of commenda- tion in that he has selected for Sec retary of State a man of the highest qualifications and one devoted to the merit principle"
 Six of the thirty Ministers now serving in the Diplomatic Corps, the report points out, are men trained in diplomacy prior to their appointment. Eight were men ap- pointed under previous Administra- tions and retained by the present Administration.
 In it's survey of appointments in the Consular Service, the Civil Service Leagues committee found that President Harding has made "an unequaled record of adherence to the merit system" There has been mot a single exception to the rules requiring appointments through examinations in Consular Service" during the first fifteen months of the present Administration, the re- port states.
