TECHNICAL MEN MAINTAINED
BY FRANK j. TAYLOR

United Press Staff Correspondents
Berlin, Feb. l. QBy Mail)--In Ber-
lin one is surprised to find the large
number of men of the old government
who are still holding their petitions
under the socialist regime. The for.
eign office and practically all of the
state departments have about the
same staffs as held office during the
war.
s3S In many cases the heads of depart.
ments are changed but the same group
OF under-secretaries works under a
socialistic head. Very often the en-.
tire department is dependent upon
these undersecretaries The majority
socialists under Chancellor Ebert say.
ed many of these technical men. as
they are called, and it is due to them
that German executive departments
have continued to function in spite Of
revolution.
According to4tlle former emp,oyes
and representa atives az h nos, gov.
ernment, the fact that men who serv.
ed the militaristic party are now
working with the socialists is not to
be looked upon with the suspicion by
the allies or to be taken as an indica.
tion that the government is any less
socialist.
In Germany the department Of state
are run upon a system whereby a man
starts in one as g youngster and grows
up with the department. His views
will not keep him out of Office. Many
OF the former kaiser's technical men
protest they never have been in sym
pathy with the militaristic party and
always have been liberals.
Though the radicals would throw all
y these men out because they are dem
ocrats rather than socialists, the ma
jority socialists have taken a broader
view in the interests of keep govern.
ment machinery functioning.
Numerous departments operate now
without active heads practically as
well as they did under the old reaime
! "A A lar ge part OF the efficiency is due to
good organization, hut the men trained
by the old government are to be cre-
dited chiefly for depaitm operation
under the present trying circum-
stances.

a national debate without parallel in the
history OF the country.
Opponents OF the league have said
they believed the issues involved are so

There is only one method by which

The league OF nations, as insisted up
on by the president, will be part of the
rsaSe treaty itself. This, opponents OF
tn league say was designed to bring
undue pressure on congress to ratify
the league idea, because failure to rati-
fy it will prevent ratification of the
peace treaty itself, and the country will
remain in d technical state of war
until this is DONE
The league of nations conception can

treaty is made, which is not expected
until some time next summer. The
league Of nations portion of it will then
be before the SENATE as part Of the peace
treaty and with the issues involved
