One of the problems of the
government is the comparatively
low salaries paid efficient officials
in comparison with the sums they
could get in the ranks of the bust
ness world. During the depres-
sion this was not so noticeable
but, with the advent of improved
conditions, it is observed that a
number of able young men are
leaving the government service
and some even go so far as to pre-
dict that the exodus has just be-
fun.

Of course many men have ac-
eepted appointment to Govern
ment positions solely because Of
the prestige attached and the be-
lief th&t after a few years in key
positions, they would be able to
command larger salaries from priv
ate employers. The question of
pay is not the only cause for these
defections. Very often some of
them become disgruntled because
of political interference or be-
cause political figureheads, in
superior positions, block further
promotions.

President Roosevelt has made
it clear that one of his principal
objects during the present session
of Congress will be to provide for
a reorganization of the admins
trative branch of the Government.
He stresses the Importance of Sc
curing greater efficiency and re-
CARDS economy as a secondary OBJ
.ject. 1t is known that he is con-
sidering realigning scores of quasi
judicial commissions now operat-
ing as Independent units and plac-
ing them under various cabinet
departments. A clear definition of
their functions is expected to re-
strict their operations and prevent
many of them from continuing
functions which they have gradu-
ally acquired since their crea-
ton.

The Inter-American Conference
for the Preservation of Peace
concluded its labors at Buenos
Aires last month by signing two
treaties, seven conventions and
one protocol and by approving
fifty-six resolutios and recon-
mendations and one declaration.
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
termed the results Significant adj
vances towards the establish
ment of a permanent peace for
this hemisphere" However, the
agreements were said to be less
specific than the United States
had hoped for when President
Roosevelt addressed the opening
conference on December End. They
represented a compromise between
sixteen nations, members of the
League of Nations, and five which
were not.

SPLIT IN PARTY
WEIGHS AGAINST
Sd TERM IDEA
President Not to Run,
Is Belief Here
By FRANKLIN G. sARTWELL

By FRANKLIN g. SARTWELL
Politicians, particularly those
with axes to grind, are taking a
different view of the possibility
that President Roosevelt will be
a candidate for third term than
are members Of the Presidents
family.
AS against the views Of the
Presidents mother and his wife,
that Mr.. Roosevelt will go back
to Hyde Park and continue to-
raise Christmas trees after this
term ends, there are the views OF
those who would like to be the
Democratic candidate to succeed
him, or to at least have their
names mentioned as possibilities.
TWO URGE RACE
Two New Deal governors, Muir
ply, of Michigan, and Earle, of
Pennsylvania, have both come out
with the idea that it will probably
be essential" that Mr.. Roosevelt
run in 1910.
Since most of the political past
and probably a great deal of the
political future of these two men
depends on the decision the Presi-
dent makeS-and also on when he
makes it-their views aren't carry
ing an awful lot of weight in the
current Washington speculation.
They are getting just about as
much consideration as are some
of the New Deal Senators and
Representatives, who also are in
sisting that Mr.. Roosevelt run
again. The Congressman want
Mr.. Roosevelt to go before the
public again because they realize
that Mr.. Roosevelt is the best
political asset they could find
that he as candidate would be
far more helpful to them than
their own records.
PRESIDENTS HANDS FREE
Such obviously personal inter
est isn't likely to sway Mr.. Roose-
welt toward attempting to break
the precedent against the third
term that has existed since the
time of George washington.
On the other hand it has been
emphasized by both the PreSi-
dents wife and his mother, in
their discussions of the third term
proposition, that they were
speaking their own views rather
than those of Mr.. Roosevelt.
Nevertheless. political develop
ments of the last session of Con-
gresS have strengthened the belief
that Mr.. Roosevelt will not be a
candidate to succeed himself, al
though it is conceded that he will
wait for some time before def
nitely announcing himself out of
the race.
SPLIT HURTS IDEA
The split within his party is
one Of the most potent arguments
against the thild-term candidacy
of Mr.. Roosevelt. Concededly he
would have to go into the race
as o third-time candidate with
the united support of his own
party and an overwhelming de-
mand from outside the party.
The Democratic split and the
still unweighed gain the Republi-
cans have made as a result Of
it, both tend to make it unlikely
that the demand for Mr.. RooSe-
velt's return will be so great as
tn he mandatory.
