nationwide extension of the merit

Merit In Criterion.
President Harding's administration
is commended in the report for IAN
earnest effort not only to retain and
promote persons OF long experience
and efficient service, but also to ap-
point to diplomatic posts persons with
some qualifications in diplomacy. To
a greater extent than any of its
predecessors" says the report. "the
present administration has appointed
as assistants to the Secretary of State
persons trained in the foreign service.
1t has adhered strictly to the policy
of making appointments and promo
tions of consuls and secretaries In
the diplomatic service for merit
alone"
The report urged upon Congress the
repeal Of the veteran preference pro-
visions of present laws. "A majority
of the veterans came out of the Army
went in." said the report. "A vet
eran who is worth his salt will want
to stand on his own feet and not be
dependent on special favors for his
future existence. 1t Is only the dere-
licts and the meriocre veterans who
will seek the advantage of the pref
erence given him in the civil service.
The preference law was never justi-
fable. Its ultimate repeal is impera-
tive"
The report urged immediate action
by Congress on bills introduced by
Senator Sterling and Representative
Tinkham, which would bring prohibi-
ton enforcement Offices into the clas-
sified service
While desiring a moro comprehen-
sive reorganization. which would CEN
tralize control of the federal employ
ment problem in the Civil Service
Commission, and provide for the merit
system and justice for all employees
through the Introduction OF modern
employment methods. the league in
dorsed the Sterling-L,ehlbach reclas-

direction" and urged prompt and ia
