AS 10 T~HIRD-TERMERS.

Only a little while back it was an
ion If the president that no mar
should mold an appointive office for
more than two terms. A little later
the further announcement was mad
that this rule should apply to diplo-
matte and consular positions as well
as to offices in this country. The lat
ter declaration was a surprise to the
country because it was understood
that the president favored establish
ing a consular service based on merit
where the incumbents should rise as
they developed fitness for the work
and become experienced representa-
tives of the government abroad. But
now either Mr.. Roosevelt has entirely
changed his views on the subject or
the public was misinformed as to his
intentions.
The cabinet at it's session on Friday
took up the matter of dismissal Of Of
llSIdlS 1lsLo nv " Va
after it's adjournment the following
announcement was made by one of it's
members:
"a general policy as to federal APP
pointments was determined upon by
the president and his cabinet today at
their. semi-weekly meeting. At the
conclusion of the meeting it was an
nounced that, for the present at least,
the uniform policy would be to retain
incumbents in Office during satisfac-
tory service, irrespective of the length
Of the service of the incumbent"
This would indicate that the presi-
dent had reversed his policy of his
own accord or that he had been over
ruled in the matter by his cabinet.
The wording of the above statement
Roosevelt had ever entertained any
other views would indicate the latter
to be the correct surmise. The fol-
lowing statement made at the same
time in connection with this matter
strengthens this conclusion. 1t was
said:
ut is believed, however, that in
cases where an officers services are
not highly acceptable the fact that
the officer has had a long term will
weigh against him for reappointment,
even if other conditions should be
fairly satisfactory"
That sounds as if the president il,
Yielding to his cabinet a made this
conditional reservation which will al
low him to depose many third-term-
ers without openly going counter tic
the views of the members of his cab
met.
