TRADE AGREEMENTS
AIM Of DIPLOMATS
Roosevelt Sends New Line.
up to Latin America to
Expand Relations.
BY the Associated Presa.

BY the Associated Press.
An almost entirely new diplomatic
lineup has been chosen by President
Roosevelt to carry the gospel Of the
good neighbor" to Latin America.
These men will seek new, expanded
trade relations.
Three Of the six ambassadorial posts
have been filled with experienced diplo-
mats; in one has been placed a former
cabinet member; the fifth is to be oc-
cupied by man Of strong political
and distinguished family connections.
To Argentina, most important post,
the President sent Alexander Weddell Of
Richmond, Va. A career diplomat, he
has served in Mexico City, Denmark,
Zanzibar, Italy, Greece, Syria, Egypt
and India. Tall, of courtly Virginia
manner, keenly interested in his new
work, Weddell succeeds Robert Woods
Bliss.
Gibson Is In Brasil.
To Brazil Mr.. Roosevelt named Hugh
Gibson, former Ambassador to Bel
gium, rowing American spokesman at
the League Of Nations and other cap
itals of Europe. Gibson is negotiating
one of the first Of the new reciprocal
trade treaties.
Cuba drew Sumner Welles. youthful
but experienced diplomat and con-
fidante of a multitude of Latin Amer
ican statesmen. Today he is receiving
plaudits Of these for his handling of
the difdcult Cuban situation
Welles Is soon to return to the Assist
ant Secretaryship Of State. Probably
he will be succeeded by Jefferson Caf-
frey. now Assistant Secretary in Charge
Of Latin American Affairs and former
Minister to Colombia. Caffery, a career
man, made special investigation Of the
last Salvadorean revolution for the
State Department, resulting in refusal
to recognize the tiny republic.
To Mexico went Josephus Daniels,
Wilsonian Navy Secretary. not trained
diplomat. But his straightforward
manner has won wide praise in Mexico
City.
Texan Goes to Chile.
To Chile the President is sending Hal
Sewer of Corpus Christi. member of a
prominent Texas family, and married to
the former Miss Clara Driscoll, author
ess and custodian of the Alamo
The embassy in Peru remains to be
filled permanently. Informed observers
characterized the selection of Sewer
as compromise to end deadlock that
had arisen between supporters of spru-
lille Braden Of New York and George
T. Summerlin,. American Minister te
Venezuela.
New York Democrats, they said. had
urged Braden. whose wife is a Chilean
and whose family name is prominent
in the Chilean copper industry. Career
men Of the State Department, they
added, supported Summerlin.
Observers believe Postmaster Genera
Farley, Democratic patronage dispenser
followed a recommendation from Vice
President Garner for the Texan.
BY coincidence, William Culbertson
whom Sewer succeeds. was also a vice
presidential choice. He had the back.
