Roosevelt shifts consular appointments to in service veterans
President Roosevelt, after consulting with Secretary Hay and Assistant Secretary Loomis, ordered a policy change for consular appointments. Going forward, higher grade positions will be filled by men already in the service with relevant training and experience, rather than relying mainly on previous general experience. The move aims to benefit U S trade by ensuring qualified personnel advance, while not expanding civil service status or tenure. Loomis noted several imminent promotions from lower posts, with their former places filled by others with similar in service backgrounds.
