 foreign trade for it's prosperity but
 even other industries are affected by

 abroad for manufactured products in- asmuch as foreign market for these manufactured goods means an in creased demand for farm products on the part of workers and those engaged in the manufacturing business The war, MT. Watts said, created an unfortunate situation in that the Unit
 ed States was suddenly called upon bv many nations for commodities of all kinds and there was little or no effort expended in selling the prod ucts. Later, however, when all na- tions found themselves facing a pe- l riod of industrial depression, Ameri- can firms found themselves with an | increased production capacity without | the organization to market their goods abroad. In order to overcome this situation long terms credits to Europe would be necessary.
 Europe. he said, owes the United | States huge sums of money and has at present neither a large supply of surplus goods for export nor gold with which to pay her debts.
 Before there can be an exchange of goods between the United States
 and Europe he continued, "or be-

day afternoon. 1t directs the bureau
to prescribe a system for rating the
efficiency of employees in the classthed

the District, and orders the head OF
each executive department and inde-
pendent establishment to establish ef-
flciency ratings in conformity there
with.
In order to permit the determination
of satisfactory standards for rating
purposes. the employees in each branch
Of the service are to be classified ac-
cording to- the character Of the work
performed, declares the order; and, in
cooperation with the heads OF the
several executive departments. and in
dependent establishments, the bureau
of efficiency shall formulate such
schedules and definitions as may be
necessary to the uniform and effec-
tive operation of the system pre-
scribed.
Clerical Group First.
Ratings, which shall hereafter be
termed standard ratings. shall first be
established for employees engaged in
clerical or routine work. such as
clerks, stenographers. bookkeepers,

shall be made of the efficiency Of

provisions of the order shall be the
basis for all changes of compensation

class of employment. ratings which
employees must attain to be eligible
which no employe may fail without
being assigned to other duties or de-

ber Of employees on account Of insult
demotions and dismissals shall be
made in order, beginning with the
employees having the lowest ratings

charged soldiers and sailors whose
ratings are good shall be given pref
erence in selecting employees for re-
tention," declares the order.
Wherever practicable records Of out
put and errors are to be installed for
all work readily susceptible of guam
titative and qualitative measurement,
and when such records furnish a suf-
ficient basis for rating the efficiency
Of the employees, they shall be used
for that purpose.
After the standard ratings have
been established. ratings which are to
be termed special ratings are to be
installed for employees engaged in
professional, scientific, technical. ad-
ministrative or executive work, or
any other work involving for the most
part original or constructive effort.
