Committee to Act.

Definite action will probably be
taken when the committee meets
again on Monday
The civil service retirement bill
carries the Endorsement of cabinet
members, and other officials in charge
of all the government workers. At
the hearings which have been held on
this measure. the chief clerks from
various government establishments
told pitiable tales of old men and
women who have given their lives to
the federal service. and who have
been kept on the rolls for years in
order to keep them from the poor
house who have been hoping that the
government might some day adopt
such a system as is employed by all
the largest industrial establishments
of the country to care for the worn
out human machinery.
The committee is especially anxious
to have this legislation passed as soon
as possible on account of the showing
made in regard to how efficiency can
be promoted in the government serv-
ice by separating hundreds of those
now incapacitated for work who have
for years been receiving a pension in
disguise. while they impeded. rather
than accelerated. the wheels of the gov
eminent machinery.
Statistical experts have laid before
the committee figures showing the
real economy that will be effected in
the government service by adoption
of the pension system.

RETIREMENT BILL
CHANGES UNLIKELY
May Be Reported to House in
a Week Without
Alterations.

The civil service retirement bill pro-
viding for pensions on age and disability
for all government workers designed to
increase the efficiency of the federal
service will probably be reported to the
House within a week in virtually the
same form in which it was drafted by
the joint conference of federal employees
associations.
The committee on reform in the civil
service, of which Representative Lehl-
back of New Jersey, father of the re-
tirenent bill, is chairman, held an execu
tive meeting today. Following the meet

expressed the opinion that there will he

The president told the committee that
in his opinion the Monroe doctrine is
completely safeguarded by the league Of
nations covenant. He declared that when
he conferred with the senate and house
foreign affairs committee last March
in the White House suggestions were
made that the rights of the United
States were not fully safeguarded. AS
a result, he said when he returned to
Paris he made suggestions along the
lines proposed which resulted in the in
sertion of Articles 10 and II and the
SPECIFIC elimination of the Monroe doc
trine from the jurisdiction of the league
of nations
Il respectfully submit that there IS
nothing vague or doubtful in the word
ing of these provisions. said the presi-
dent. thus taking direct issue with the
opinion of the majority members of the
committee He said that so far as all of
the objects to article are concerned they
do not read that article in connection
with the entire treaty. He pointed out
that inasfar as the United States is a
party to any policy in question her af-
firmative vote is necessary before any
action can be taken or advice given.
Thus the obligation under this article.
the president said IS a moral. not a
legal obligation.
The president said:
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1919-08-19

Article X is in no respect Of doubt
full meaning when read in the light OF
the covenant as a whole The council OF
the league can only advise upon the
means by which the obligations of that
great article are to be given effect to.
Unless the United States is a party TO
the policy or action in question. her own
affirmative vote in the council is neces-
sary before any advice can be given. for
unanimous vote of the council is re-
quired. If she is a party, the trouble is
here anyhow. And the unanimous vote
Of the council is only advice in any case.
Each government is free 10 reject it is If
pleases. Nothing could have been made
more clear to the conference than the
right Of our congress under our consti-
tuition to exercise its independent judg
ment in all matters of peace and war.
No attempt was made to question or
limit that right. The United States will.
indeed, under take under Article x TO
respect and preserve against ex-
ternal aggression the territorial integri-
ty and existing political independence of
all members of the league. and that en-
gagement constitutes a very grave and
solemn moral obligation. But 1t is a
moral not legal obligation. and leaves
our congress absolutely free to put its
own Interpretation upon ii in all cases
that call for action. 1t is binding or
conscience only, not in law.
