WARNS employees
AGAINST BLOCKING
CHANCESIN BUREAU
Lobbying to Retain Jobs
Means Discharge, Cab
met Says.

Government employees. whose
fondness for their jobs is proven
biaI. had better tread softly in reg
istering their opposition to the ad-
Ininistration's program for govern
mental reorganization.
Cabinet secretaries will issue
formal notices warning employees in
their departments tha: they will be
dismissed from office if found guilty
of any attempt to obstruct the over
hauling of governmental machinery.
The reorganization scheme is be-
ing worked out now under the guild
ance of a Joint congressional COM
mittee. One result is expected to
be a slashing Of names on the gov
ernment pay roll. 1t has been dis
covered now that numerous persons
who help run the government have
been disseminating propaganda to
hinder the reorganization plan.
Appeals to Representatives.
This effort at obstruction has
taken many forms. A favorite
method is to besiege representa-
tives. The appeal may be based
purely on political grounds, which
frequently brings quick reaction. or
the representative may be told how
proposed abolition of a certain bu-
reau threatens &C destroy the whole
welfare Of the government.
Several instances of this sort OF
lobbying" have been uncovered
aI nlEaag
also have been pouring into the
Smoot- Reavis committee, in charge
of the revamping movement. and to
Walter F. Brown, the Presidents
representative on the commission.
President Harding and his cabi-
net, it is learned. will stand firmly
behind the reorganization scheme,
whatever displeasure it creates in
the minds Of persons who fear a
divorce from their desks. No hesi-
tation will be shown in discharginG
"obstructiOnists."
The President takes the view tina,
the administration is committed tC
departmental reorganization anc
can tolerate no interference when
the country is demanding a new
lineup in the interest of economy
Work Near Completion.
The President appreciated before
hand that the movement would
meet resistance within government
circles, but he is determined now
it can be stated. that the dismissal
order will apply to anyone who uses
his position to tighten his hold on
the government treasury.
Reorganization, in the meantime
has reached the point where the
various departments are preparing
recommendations which will be pre-
SentGd direct to Mr.. Brown. The
ten cabinet secretaries will suggest
activities within their departments
which might better be transferred
to another department They also
will suggest, probably with greater
emphasis. the functions Of other de-
partments which they consider be-
long in their own spheres of infiu-
ence
The congressional commission will
use these recommendations as the
basis of their bill for re-allOcating
government services.

charged has retarded the develop

a blanket accusation of inefficiency
based on the assertion that control

PRESS A GREAT EDUCATOR TO-DAY
Plays Important Part as Medium

San Francisco Nov Education alone will bind together the peoples Of the Pacific, il was decided at a series of conferences held recently un- der the auspices Of the Pan Pacific Union in Honolulu, the cross roads ot the Pacific, according to Alexander Hume Ford, sccretary-director of the union. Leading scientists, educators md editors of pacinc land8 attended the meetings,
 Summing up the work Of the con- ference, Mr Ford, while here recent ly said it was decided that the press was the surest medium of educating the peoples of the Pacific as to each others true aims and ambitions and in bringing them into better under standing.
 Through the Pan Pacific Union, which is now supported by all the governments about the greatest of oceans, the scientists are arranging to study the scientific problems of the Pacific and to seek their proper solu- tions," Mir. Ford said. Already they have found the remedy for leprosy, which is now being. wiped out. They are taking up the study of fish food supply of the Pacific with the assur- ance that with scientific propagation and protection of fish in Pacific wa ters the Pacific ocean will supply sutli- cient fish food, preserved, to feed the world. The problem of saturation, or gl ! pie country may naturally support is to be taken up by the Pan Pacific Union and a conference will be called to discuss the subject. Two-thirds of the worlds population live adjacent to Pacific lands and the immigration problem has become an acute one.

 So much for the health angle.
 And, as to beauty-Well, she was given the title of The Perfect Blond of the Pacific Coast" at an artists ball in Los Angeles.

 The French view is that Germany is potentially qaite capable of meeting her reparation payments and will do so unless given encouragement from allied sources to resists payment.
