II Can't Be Dome

THE government would like to get rid
L of the dead letter office-and could,
if each of us would only write his own
name and address, for return on the out
side of the envelope
tits simple enough, But so are lot of
other things that involve nothing but all
of us using all our sense all the time. We
would kill few or no people on the high
ways if each of us would always be alert,
sober, careful and skilled we would have
few accidents in industry if each of us
would use as much sense all the time; the
whole of life would run smoother if each
of us would always do each little thing
the best he knows how.
But it can't be done. Human nature is
not built that way. There will always be
people who mail unsigned letters in blank
envelopes. Whoever is careful enough
always to write his own address on the
envelope for return is also careful enough
to write the sending address correctly.
But you cannot run life on the aSsump-
ton that everybody will do even the
simplest thing right all the time.

Parma our Debts

IF things keep on their present course,
L America will almost have repaid the
money we borrowed TO loan Europe, as
well rs all we spent ourselves to help Eu-
rope, before Europe has fairly begun to
repay us. Treasury officials estimate
that the whole American debt may be
wiped out, 10y American taxes alone, IN
20 years
Italy talks of moratorium Of 10 years
before even beginning TO pay and France
is ioclying for MS long delay as pos
Siblc. Even after they begin paying, their
instalments. on interest and principal
combined, will be less than we are paying
out in interest alone on the same money.
That means that they will never pay
any of the principal nor all of the in
terest, and that for rs long an interval as
possible, they will pay nothing at all.
Meantime, before they have much more
than started, we shall have finished.
Whatever comes in after that will be

Old Stuff

CARPING at the flapper and her ways
~ is "old stuff" Doubtless Eve began
it, with Gains daughter At any rate,
here is the authority of the Roman poet.
Horace, as to how it was nearly two thou
sand years ago:
our grown girls love TO learn Iouiap ways
OF ewd suggestion In the dancers school.
Nay each with evil tricks is full
Evn from her callow days"
Perhaps some day generation will live
on earth with memory enough to recall
when it was young. Until then, the flap
per, each generation under new name,
will be perpetual subject of discussion.
Her crime is to be young when we are old.

The Fio1oer (?) of Om Youth

DROHlBlTlON is debauchng the How
L err of the nations youth" says the
London Post, speaking of America.
What is the flower? Certainly not
that part of our youth that is debauch-
able by illegal bootleg booze,
These may be among the richest, which,
TO the Post, means the flower" But
they are not, by this very test, the best.
II is easier for the sons of what used to
be, in Britain. the ruling classes" to
patronize the bootlegging agents of sue
cessful smuggers than it is for the sons
of what Britain has patronzlngly called
the working classes, and these are also
the ones under most temptation to feel
that Il is smart to show that the laws
were not made for them.
Some of them, therefore, drink too
much. They may BE "debauched." Those
of them who are, are certainly not the

URGED
Federal Employees Point Out
Need at Session of Ma
tionaI Executive Council

Appointment Of a Personnel
Manager for the entire Govern
ment service will be urged by
the executive council of the Ma
tional Federation of Federal EN-
ployes, it was indicated at today's
session.
In deciding to embody this re-
quest in the general program
being worked out by the council,
for presentation direct to the next
session of Congress, it was
pointed out there is q genuine
need at present for such a head.
Variances Noted
At the present time, it was de-
clared, there are Government EN-
ployes in one bureau who get their
entire thirty days leave while there
are others in the same bureau put
on the other aisle under another
department head, who. for varying
reasons. are deprived of both their
entire annual leave or their sick
leave.
It is the position of the fedora.
ton that annual or sick leave is
either a right or it isn't a right.
and. there should be no discriInipa-
ito among Government employN
Standardization of working hours
also would be under the supervision
of the personnel manager. 1t lie
pointed out now many hundreds Of
employees are compelled to do con-
siderable overtime work.
The national executive council OF
the National Federation of Federal
Employees also decided today by
unanimous vote that the federation
withdraw from the joint conference
on retirement. Hereafter, in the
furtherance of the retirement legis.
lation, the federation will cooper
ate exclusively with the American
Federation Of Labor and affiliated
organizations.
This action was made necessary
by the continued and increasing
tendency on the part Of unorganized
individuals and elements associated
with the joint conference on retire
ment to disseminate misinformation
regarding the proposed legislation.
In the opinion Of the national eX-
ecutive council the tendency of the
joint conference has been toward
the encouragement of indiscriminate
individual appeals to members OF
Congress-; such appeals, 1t is be-
lieved have served to ALLEVIATE sup
port from retirement legislation
rather than to assist it.
"PanhandIing" Indicted.
There also has been a marked
tendency toward panhandling for
small contributions from Federal
employees to support the so-called
effort on behalf of this legislation.
and as a substitute for permanent
well-diSciplined organization meth

condemned by the national execu'
tive council.
