Federal Government to place
their employees under a merit
system and to prohibit such EN-.
ployes from engaging actively in
political campaigns. The purpose
of this proposal is to prevent a re-
petition of such things as hap
pened this year in some of the
States where politically.appointed
state employees were used in po-
litical campaigns against men,
bers Of Congress and United
States Senators. In some cases
these state employees were being
paid, in part at least, from money
granted to the States by the
United States.
Other Agenda
Other subjects which the com.
mittee will probably have under
consideration are a system of ap-
peals; q 40-hour week for all Fed
eral employees; veterans preference
laws and a minimum salary bill.
This list is not exclusive and the
committee will, of course, consideL
all matters presented to it.
Those who work in the execu-
tive branch of the Government as
we'll as we in the legislative de-
partment. cannot ignore public
opinion. In this country the source
of all political power is in the
voters. We cannot expect to sue
ceed with any legislative proposal
which cannot stand the test of
public opinion, which we cannot
justify by the test Of what is best
for the country.
Those who serve the public, no
matter what their position may
be, should remember that the
voter is the actual employer. The
voters must have satisfactory,
courteous and efficient service
from all of us on the public pay.
roll. Unless we render that char.
acter of service the voters will
bring about a change.
Patience Necessary
It is therefore we'll for all Of us
to keep in mind the public re-
action to what we propose and to
what we do. In our contacts with
the public we should remember

and occasionally has rendered
decisions against the Mexican
government. But the choice was
made because there was just no
place else to go.
The generally accredited in
side explanation for the change
of official heart here was that
Mr.. Hull felt the eyes of all
Latin America upon him. The
Latin eye seems to be mindful
of by-gone days when American
oil was a symbol for invasion
by a high-handed American
authority. The Latins have now
gone to the opposite extreme
Of believing oil companies
shoult have no rights of any
kind.
However. the eye that really
burned the hole in Mr.. Hull's
nat seems to have belonged not
to the Latins but to Mr.. Roose-
welt. Numerous little evidences
have accumulated indicating be
shares in some degree the Latin
viewpoint that no bargain could
possibly be too bad for an oil
company.
Best evidence is the new
yardstick offered by those
authoritative fellows who know
how the White House feels"
The PGnay Bill
just week earlier, the State
Department figured UP its own
claim against Japan for the
sinking of the Panay and Stand.
ard Oil ships-and not on q
i basis Of cost less depreciation,
you may be sure. The yard
stick used by the same depart
ment that time was the replace
ment cost of the vessels plus
damages for personal injuries.
The sum Of over $2,7OO 900
asked of Japan was considered
here to be reasonable and fatr
tho punitive), and dispatches
from Japan indicated the Japa-
nese government thought so,
too,
If the basis of bartering with
Mexico is to be on a cost less
depreciation basis, however,
there are some authorities here,
even in the State Department,
who believe the u. s. could
make some good investments in
the Mexican field. In fact We
might well purchase the whole
of Mexico on the original cost
of the country less depreciation.
In case this bargain yardstick
applies only to sinners like the
oil people, one member of the
Roosevelt cabinet, Mr.. Morgen-
thau, would probably like to
testify about recent Mexican
Gins in connection with his
bountiful silver policy.
