freedom Of religious instruction. In
part, the letter reads:
The Constitution Of the Repub-
lie Of China guarantees religious
liberty 10 its citizens. We are
aware that this has been construed
by many people outside the church,

HOOVER ENDS
STUFFED SHIRT
DIPLOMAT ERA
Capable Men to Be Named
ENJOYS to Leading
Foreign Nations.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
scrippS-Howard Foreign Editor


WASHINGTON. Dec. 13.-Revolu-
tionary 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 look after Uncle Sans official
business, or Of putting round pegs
in square holes haphazard, is vir-
tually thing of the past
In so far as President Hoover can
have his way, he intends to manage
Americas foreign relations as much
like a competent executive manages
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 Toxic for the
period Of the London naval Iinita-
tlon conference beginning next
AAOAAOAlS ID d case In DOlllC.
Able Man Gets Job
The Toxic embassy is minus an
ambassador and President Hoover,
realizing the possible need of some
rather important conversations be-
tween Washington and Toxic during
the conference, is sending an able
and experienced diplomat to carry
on-a man thoroughly in touch with
both Hoover policies and desires ami
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
15,OOO-mile Journey which took him
into ten Central and South Amer.
lean 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
90 Oho4AACoo 1l4CIl anu dCludlIla~
ances discuss mutual problems.
Rapid Progress Made
The Presidents face-to-face meet
ing 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 Amer
lean diplomacy on common-sepSe,
man-to-man, buSinesS-like basis,
cutting out what Lloyd George calls
the ''hapdoodle." AS often as pos
sible, it is announced, he intends to
send representatives abroad who
speak the language of the coun-
try, to which they are accredited
Also, 1t is said he aims to pick
and choose. as far as he may, to
weed out the misflts, 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 for
eign post of this man or that. But
insofar as he Is able to work his
will, American diplomacy seems In
for a new diSpensation.

Decorating the Tree


 Christmas trees are the most universal holiday decoration.
 If the children help decorate Ii. and they should. consider thcil preference in the glittering what nots that are hung thereon. For change, one might have merely silver or golden foil hanging al over it, with electric lights sending GieaminS colors to play upon it. These electric lights should, for safety's sake, have the approval Of the Underwriters Laboratories Outside trees are growing in popu- larity. but certainly nothing takes the place of the living room tre,. with gifts from Santa grouped dt the base.
 If one lives in the country ~reaths of ground pine. cedar. bal sam. hemlock. spruce. boXWood laurel and other greens may talk" the place of bought holly wreaths. Children love to help make them.
 TestOon of green about the house, with lighted candles in th.s windows. are one of the prettiest home decorations. Even bedrooms should have their sprigs of holly or their bits of evergreen in con- GpiCuous places.
 Christmas Cut-Outs
 If one lives in town and every thing must be purchased. it is easier and Jess expensive to usc decorative crepe paper. One may lave a most impressive fireplace, made from different kinds of crepe paper. The children will love 10 cut out to measure this design or that and feel elatcd to have had tho responsibility of doing" the fireplace. Often shaped shades for wall lights add their helpful bit to make the place gay.
 The Christmas table is a most important consideration for that day of days. One may purchase linen damask especially for the occasion and be very gay indeed with a lovely holly patterned linen cloth. Fine crystal and sterling silver are two other assets. Start ing with these three, one may buid up an absolutely beautiful table, Lacking linen, crepe paper makes a stunning cloth.
