BY DAVID LAWRENCE., MOST remarkable meeting oc- curred here in the last few days, remarkable because it illustrates pointedly that dis- cussion of the most important prob- lems of government sometimes at- tracts little or no attention. No com- prehensive report of the meeting was published throughout the ecountry, though the press was, of course, invited to report the affair. Everybody is agreed nowadays that government, rightly or wrong- ly, is taking over more and more responsibility, but apparently few people realize as yet that the per- sonnel in government must be equal to the increased responsibilities now being imposed. Gathered in the meeting were the principal directors of personnel in all the Government departments, the men who know something about qualified personnel and what has been called the “merit system,” as distinguished from the hit-or-miss method of mak- ing appointments by political pull wherein merit is frequently disre- garded and party service is rewarded. All the members of the United Btates Civil Service Commission were present and some distinguished per- sons outside the Government service, too, as, for instance, Louis Brownlow of the Public Administration Clearing House of Chicago and Luther Gulick of the National Institute of Public Administration. All present were in- terested in the merit system and the meeting was held under the auspices of the School of Public Affairs of American University, which has about 000 Government offtials enrolled in special courses devoted to the tech- nique of public administration. Hear Johnson Address. But the particular reason for the gathering was to hear an address by the new president of the National Civil Bervice Reform League, Robert L. Johnson of New York. Now, ordinarily, an address about the merit system is considered by the press in Washington as just one of a number of these speeches on reform that finds itself colliding with the proverbial stone wall. But Mr. Johnson, who has been drafted for leadership in the National Civil Service Reform League by public- spirited citizens interested in that David Lawrence. cause, is not the type who butts his | head against stone walls. As vice president and advertising director of the periodicals issued by Time-Fortune, | Inc., he has had a successful experi- | ence and now he has turned his energies to the making of a civil service reform movement that should really get somewhere. Mr. Johnson has been anxious to make a contribution to public service, and two years ago obtained leave of absence from his regular work to ac- cept the invitation of Gov. Earle of Pennsylvania to serve as relief ad- ministrator of that State for a year. He was particularly won over to the need of civil service reform by his experiences in Pennsylvania. “When I arrived in Pennsylvania.” he told the meeting of personnel di- rectors here, “I found I was in charge | ©of some 14.000 employes and that we | were distributing $20,000,000 a month, The size of the organization and the amount of money involved made it imperative for me to have able, well- trained executives in the central office and in every one of the 670 branch offices throughout the State. Personnel Expert Found. “After quite a search in private industry, I managed to find an out- standing personnel expert. This man's first job was to classify every type of work done in our organization, from the administrator down to the file clerk. Then each person in our or- | ganization had to be rated according | to his ability to perform his particular | Job. An examination system was set | up, not only to weed out the inefficient | but also to let in from the outside the best talent available. “During that year, in relief and since, I have talked with a large num- ber of public administrators who have | been handicapped by politically ap- pointed personnel. Almost without exception, the verdict of these men has been that more than half their time is taken up by politically fostered personnel problems. They have also been practically unanimous in stating that the general efficiency of their organizations was definitely impaired | by the inefficiency of unqualified em- | ployes. | “When I left Pennsylvania I hnd‘ one dominating conviction, namely that the spoils system is the greatest single weakness of our Government today. “Most of the men and women who are at this meeting are trying to de- velop sound methods of administrat- ing government. That work, of eourse, I think we all acknowledge as of first importance. On the other hand, I feel there is & place for tke Natlonal Civil Service Reform League 85 interpreter between the Govern- ment and the public. It is your job to build Government personnel along the right lines. It is our job to see that the public understands and sup- pon: and demands extension of your ‘worl Long-Term Principle. “One part of our program, that of a Federal constitutional amendment, has, I believe, caused some concern in governmental circles. That is, of course, understandable, because if the league were going to put its whole force behind an amendment at this time, it might conceivably interfere with any constructive plans for leg- islation in the next session of Con- gress. The league, however, has pro- New Dealers Worried by Exodus of Experts to More Profitable Private Industry. BY PAUL MALLON. EORGANIZATION, developing within the New Deal, is not the kind that was advertised. The cabinet is holding on to its: chairs with grim determination. But down in the sub-cabinet atrata, the tendency to roam has spread so extensively since election that it has become & movement. The men who are going are expert assistants or anonymous brain trusters who really do the work for which the big names receive credit. Their departures are heralded with no more than a para- graph in the papers, if anything. But, collectively, their exodus, if con- tinued, could very easily alter the efficiency of the President’s second re-deal. The President’s advisers are worried and will get him to do something as soon as he returns from South America. * Xk X % During the last week three such departures were announced. One was a cotton expert, an assistant director in the Agriculture Depart= ment; the second, an assistant ad= ministrator in rural rehabilitation, and the third an assistant general counsel in the Treasury. It was not these three particular with- drawals, but others now pending and yet to be announced, which are con- sidered of great importance by those who are trying to hold the New Deal ther. i Further ezpected withdrawals range all the way from an ezecutive assistant to the administrator in agriculture to @ presi- dential secretary and valuable technical assistants in important positions with the P. W. A. and R. F. C. L ‘The Pennsylvania delegation came out for Mr. Rayburn as House floor leader because of inside information that he is the administration choice, As a matter of fact, he is more than that. He is President Roosevelt's own private choice. Boss Guffey of Pennsylvania, who swung the delegation, undoubtedly will get the reputation of king-maker, but it®was Vice President Garner who negotiated the inside deal and gave Senator Guffey the opportunity. Most significant, however, was the fact that Mr. Pat Boland, Demo= cratic whip and good friend of Rayburn’s opponent, made a speech sup- porting Rayburn at the Pennsylvania caucus. Mr. Boland fought Guffey throughout the last session on patronage and other matters. These developments unveil the handwriting on the wall of the House for the coming session of Congress. Mr. Roosevelt is the big boss, bigger than he has ever been before and probably bigger than any President ever has been. Any one who aspires to be a little boss will need a White House O. K. * % K The “constitutional crisis” which Premier Baldwin has been broad- casting about has left news readers around here in confusion. Some thought he must be referring to his own constitution, or the King's, as the government has none. Britons here explain the word “constitutional” is a British government colloquialism. It means any government crisis which is not political; that is, not an issue between political parties. ‘The hard guess of some Britons has been that Mrs. Simpson would solve the crisis herself if she discovered her suitor was no longer a King. However, Edward's social position, even in private life, would be equal to that of any in the world, and his privy purse would keep him from selling pencils for a long time. * x kX X ‘Without announcement. a new hot dog boy has joined the New Deal straight from the frankfurter grinder at the Harvard Law School. He is young John Wheeler, son of the Montana Senator, who has become an assistant counsel in the senatorial investigation which his father is con- ducting into railroad financing | GoVERNMENT| malpractices. Young Wheeler is even more energetically liberal than his father, which means he is extremely energetic. Anti-nep- otists probably will not howl much about this one. * % x The way foreign nations are getting around Mr. Roosevelt's war plane embargo was disclosed in the latest official figures on com- mercial plane purchases. The Russians bought $1,000,000 worth of air transports here last month, the Japanese $600,000. It is well known here that the fencing Russians and Japanese are not going to use these air busses for sight-seeing. All that is needed to make them fighting ships are a few machine gun racks. They will probably be used to move troops. * ok K X The A. T. & T. rate cut probably will not keep Congress from author- izing funds for continuance of this most expensive investigation ever held. Instead, the cut will be used as an inducement for continuing the inquiry. In February the investigators will run out of the $1,150,000 already fur- nished. = * ok ok % Acting State Secretary Moore, who bowed to Cupid in modifying the alien marriage ban, is a bachelor, 76 years old. (Copyright, 1936.) the legislative act as a guardian of the merit system. Of course, even with a constitutional amendment, ex- ceptions may be made, but there could be no wholesale exemptions of de- partments and agencies. “Since we brought up the question of a constitutional amendment, a number of people interested in our work have questioned whether or not the amendment, as proposed, has enough teeth. It reads: Appoint- ments and promotions in the civil service of the United States shall be made according to merit and fitness, to be ascertained, so far as practicable, by examination.

That's why it is dis- appointing to find the press generally overlooking an important meeting in the interest of the merit system in Government. (Copyright, 1936, “It may appear weak, but it is a part of an identical amendment in the New York State constitution and the New York amendment has demon- strated itself to ost effective. Fully 98 per cent of the New York State personnel is now under the merit system. Charles Evans Hughes once stated that the New York civil service amendment was the most im- portant constitutional provision since the bill of rights.” I have quoted from Mr. Johnson’s speech because it represents the ex- pression of a young man earnestly endeavoring to do his bit in public service after having witnessed and felt in Pennsylvania the pressure of the spoils system.

Boom Worries New Deal Experts Already Working to Stave Off Slump, Believed Near. BY JAY FRANKLIN. the stock marketeers are making a joyful noise unto F. D. R. and shouting “Hosannah!” to the highest business statistics since everything went blank in front of Hoover, the men in the New Deal chart room are ®ld-bloodedly calculating that the present boom will not last much be- yond Roosevelt's second inauguration and are all ready to stave off the next slump. This is because Mr. Roosevelt—de- spite the angry charges of the c: paign—has not abolished finance capi- talism in the United States, and so long as that remains, perhaps longer, we are subject to the rule of the busi- ness cycle. Whether, as Jevons claimed, the periodic alternation of boom and bust is due to sun spots or, as others insist, to plain human nature, this country has lived through 20 business cycles since 1855. And if there is anything in experi- ence, the voice of the past hints, as cheerfuly as a surgeon diagnosing a bad appendix, that the present upturn is approaching its end. The situation is not unlike that of 1927-29. The upturn under Coolidge began in December, 1927 The con- struction index fell off in 1928 and by June, 1929, the other indices of pro- duction also started for the trough of the wave. Public business psychology kept the market boiling till October, 1929, but the creation of real wealth fell off rapidly and the crash followed. Boom Period Short. ‘There was a period of 18 months between the beginning of the upturn and its high point; a period of four months between the high point and the crash. The present New Deal boom began in June, 1935. The 18 months of in- creased production should expire by the end of December, 1936. Public political psychology should keep the pot boiling for another two or three months and then another day of reckoning should come. Several of the major indices of pro- duction are approaching the old 1929 highs—steel ingots are a good example —and price increases are clearly ahead for several important lines of indus- trial goods. The stock market is al- ready wobbling. Increased rents are already here. barber who has worked for 22 years in a little shop for which he pays $30 a month has just been told that his AIRPORT COMMISSION TO MEET WITH KING No Announcement Expected Re- garding Recommendations for a Site. The District Airport Commission was slated to hold an executive session this afternoon in the office of Senator King, Democrat, of Utah, but no an- nouncement regarding recommenda- tions for a site was expected. ‘The meeting was called to receive | & report from Gen. Oscar Westover, chief of aeronautics of the Army, as chairman of a subcommittee to study various sites. Senator King has ex- plained that, even if the commission reaches conclusions before Congress meets, its report will remain confi- dential until submitted to the House and Senate. 51-Year-01d Service.

Supply and demand! This situation collides head-on with the supply and demand of money for consumption. If price increases are coming, purchasing power will decline all along the line and we shall all have to tighten our belts. Although experi- ence has justified the New Deal theory that récovery comes through boosting the purchasing power of the mass of our people—by relief, pump-priming, A. A. A, N.R. A, etc—we now face the serious prospect that emergency expenditures will be reduced just when they are most needed. Internal Fight Brewing. ‘The Chamber of Commerce boys seem to labor under the impression that Roosevelt is bound by the Repub- lican platform and are moving in on the administration the way a small boy moves in on a Christmas stocking. There is & big fight brewing inside the administration itself over the question | of whether the New Deal should sur- | render its policies to the losers of the last election. | The balance-the-budgeteers are co- agulating around Henry Morgenthau |and Uncle Danl Roper, with many prespective allies on Capitol Hill. ‘The pump-priming, free-spending school of New Deal politics is led by Marriner Eccles, Harry Hopkins, Har- old Ickes and—believe it or not—Jesse | Jones of the R. F. C. They propose to follow the election returns. Where Roosevelt stands is not definitely known but the White House secretariat is conservative and may well reflect the views of the Great White Father. The New Deal experts, who feel called upon to solve this neat little problem in political economy, see only one way to avoid serious trouble: To help the durable goods industries by | a large scale, low-cost housing pro- gram executed by P. W. A. and W. P. A. workers. Otherwise, they | feel that the business cycle will do its | merciless stuff on the stuffed shirts| of business and on the bulging ballot boxes of the New Deal. | They do not believe that Roosevelt has altered the ebb and flow of busi- ness activity which has given us 20 toboggan rides in the last three genera- i tions, and fear that the classic Chinese description of such excursions— | “Whish! Whish! Walkee back a mile!” —will still apply to the American way | of business life, unless the Govern- ment undertakes a new responsibility | toward the working of our economic institutions. (Copyright, 1¥56.) Dictator’s Club Fishes in Waters Troubled by England’s Marital Crisis. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. HE dictators’ club is delighted. Tre storm in the British Isles promises excellent fishing in troubled waters. Franco and the Japanese already have thrown the lines, fully ing to catch some big fish. PFranco has searched a ship flying the British flag—a gesture he would have never dared if Great Britain did not have marital problems. The Japanese have landed troops in the Shantung Province, because of the Tsingtao strike. These troops may stay there and this time neither the United States nor Great Britain will be able to force the Japanese out, as in 1921. A number of British parliamen- tarians are provoked at King Ed- ward because last June he asked the House of Commons to make the necessary appropriations for an al- lowance for the future Queen of England, without disclosing who the lady of his choice was. The House granted the royal request without a discussion. A Laborite member asked the prime minister whether his majesty had any definite matrimonial ideas and the question, being taken as a wise crack, remained unanswered. Now quite a few members of the House suspect that E had already made up his mind then to marry Mrs. Simpson, k= tng on popular support against Parliament. But he realized, they say, that the Commons might balk at giving Queen Wally an adequate allowance. So he obtained it before the accomplished Jact, knowing that once the allowance was voted, the House could not easily cancel that appropriation. ‘This somewhat unwise move of Edward’s is now being exploited by his opponents. They accuse him of bad faith and a behavior unbecoming to an English monarch. Furthermore, fearing that the tide might turn in favor of Edward marrying the American-born woman, they describe her as another Mme. de Maintenon, who would spend recklessly the kingdom's money. * % % 8 Winston Churchill is playing his last card to become the premier of England. During his long political life, he has been avowedly anti- American. He is the only able English politician who has in him the stuff dictators are made of. An excellent orator and a man full of energy, he feels that his qualities have never been valued by the politicians of the empire. He sees his chance now by siding definitely with Edward and challenging all the other British leaders. He hopes that if Edward decides to let Baldwin go, he might be entrusted with the formation of a cabinet with a definite dictatorial tinge. ‘Thus explains his definite stand in favor of Edward's mar- riage. The stormy petrel of British politics hopes to end his life in & burst of glory—the little dictator chosen by the British people. * % x % Whatever the outcome of the struggle between the King and his government may be, there is no doubt that Great Britain's prestige will be badly damaged, especially in the East \ Newspapers in Japan are already pointing out the decadence of the British Empire and the white race. In Japan, where the idea of cast is stronger than even in India, people cannot conceive how the anointed of God could lower himself to even look at @ com- moner. And the Japanese government is mot likely to let such an excellent opportunity go by without turning it into a profitable business for its erpansionist aims. Germany and Italy, too, are watching carefully the developments and the combination of the dictatorships will become stronger because they feel that Great Britain, worried over her internal affairs, is today less in a position than it was a few weeks ago to take a strong stand in the world's complicated affairs. The romantic affair between Edward and Mrs. Simpson may have the same effect on the general international situation as the Sarajevo pistol shot had in 1914. rd BY the Associatec Press.

BY LEMUEL F. PARTON, OSEPH PULITZER went blind and never saw his golden-domed World Building, his dream of years. No one knows whether Dr. Rudolf Diesel, memorialized just now by engineers everywhere, lived to see his engine running stream- lined trains and revolutionizing power generation. True, he is thought to be dead, but that is only supposition. It isn't altogether impossible that he may have been riding one of those Diesel-powered prairie scooters. That would be a story! For definite reasons, going back many years, this writer has reason to believe that the story of Rudolf Diesel’s strange disappearance is still wide open and that it's worth looking into, as history, if not as news. A reserved, heel-clicking German tech- nician, who had known Herr Diesei well, dropped a few discreet and measured words which stirred this | interest, and some later inquiries in Europe tended to confirm the sug- gestion that the German inventor's life did not end on September 29, 1913, the day of his disappearance. They were installing a huge ex- | hibition Diesel plant at the Panama- Pacific International San Francisco, Exposition in in 1914. The en- | gineers were fouled up in World Fair red tape and I happened to be in a position to help them get clear of it. Late one night a tall, austere, bearded German came to my home. He identi- fled himself as a scientist who had been a consultant in the development of the Diesel engine, but requested me not to mention his visit to any one else. In cautious, bookish Eng- lish, he outlined Rudolph Diesel's career and suggested that, as a jour nalist, I should be interested in mak- ing inquiries as to the validity of the story of his death. I never saw him again. His eon- freres were secretive. None would tell me more of my visitor. Later, in a desultory way, having almost forgot- ten the incident, I made inquries in Europe. There are many informed Europeans who believe that Rudolph Diesel is still alive.

It was about that time that Germany and England were secretly contending for patents which adapt the Diesel to submarines. There was strong undersurface tension in this encounter. In afterthought, it might have been prescient of the events of the next year. Dr. Diesel, a big. busy, genial man, dined well on the boet, and busied himself with a briefcase full of papers in his cabin. He was seen aboard the next morning. But he was not seen to leave the boat. The directors await- | ed him, but he did not arrive.
