Personnel Abuses

Civil Service Commissioner Flem-
ming has given an unfiattering pic
ture of Federal personnel practices
to the House Civil Service Committee.
Because of the speed demanded in
war recruiting, he explained, it has
been necessary to relax the ordi-
narily-strict civil service regulations,
and as a result. there have been
thousands Of appointments in which
the commissioner indicated belief
that nepotism and vicious office
politics" have figured.
This reflects no credit on the
officers responsible for the appoint
mentS, but that Mr.. FIemminp's
statement was based on something
more substantial than suspicion is
borne out by recent charges of similar
nature by Chairman RamSpeck of
the House Civil Service Committee.
and the added fact that the COM
mission has moved to regain more
control over hiring in new orders sent
to all agencies.
1t is unfortunate that such condi-
tlons have been permitted to develop
because Of their adverse effect on the
civil service system as a whole, and
that they have gone unchallenged
so long can be excused only on the
ground that the need for quickly
assembling war Staffs outWeiehed
every other consideration, and abuses
were accepted as part of the price to
he paid. It may be assumed, too, that
policies such as Commissioner Flem-
ming described have contributed

The Postwar World

The decision Of a bipartisan group
OF Senator'S to work for Senate ap-
proval during the war of certain
fundamental principles relating to
the nature of the worlds postwar
organization is a significant and
timely development.
The sponsors of the plan are Sen
ators Hatch and Hill, Democrats, and
Burton and Ball, Republicans. They
have the support of other Senators
In both parties, and, it is said. the
tentative approval of the President
and Undersecretary of State Sumner
Welles. Under the provisions of the
resolution which the Senate will be
asked to approve, the United States
would take the initiative in forming
United Nations organization
authorized to take certain steps with
respect to the prosecution of the war.
This organization also would be
authorized Cd "to establish pro-
cedures and machinery for peaceful
settlement of disputes and disagree
ments between nations" and co ''to
provide for the assembly and main
tenance of United Nations military
force and to suppress by immediate
use OF such force any future attempt
at military aggression by any ma
ton" In a joint statement explain
Ing and advocating their proposal,
the four sponsors said:
we believe that an organization
OF the United Nations with the
authority and the power to stop anv
future attempts at military aggres-
sion offers the best hope for main
tanning world peace and stability
after this war and at the same time
is the most efficient and the least
costly method in lives and wealth for
the individual nations to obtain Sc
curity for themselves" This. in q
few words, sets out the basic issue
involved in the proposal. If the be-
lief expressed by the sponsors is we'll
founded, and it will be for the Senate
to determine that question when the
plan comes up for debate it is diff
cult to see what valid objections can
be raised against it.
There are innumerable problems
OF course, which will have to be dealt
with. First there is the question of
the attitude Of the people. Will they
want to be committed to such a pro-
gram after the war, or not? OBJ
viously this is question which can
not be answered now. but it is the
laudable purpose of the sponsors of
this proposal to stimulate public dis
cusslon Of the matter so that timely
decision may be reached. Then there
is the matter Of the attitude of other
countries. We have no way of know
Ing whether they would support such
a program to the extent necessary
to make it effective, but the way to
md out, 1t would seem, is to bring
the question to head through some
such procedure as that advocated bv
the four Senators.
1t is important to remember also
that other nations will hesitate to
commit themselves to any effective
system of world organization until
the United States makes its position
Known. This is another reason why
1t seems desirable for the Senate
understanding that such detailed
plan as may be worked out would be
subject to final ratification-to strive
for agreement now on the broad out
lines Of policy which would be &C
ceptable when properly implemented.

Stain Removat-It is smart, thrifty
and really patriotic these war days to
take best of care of your clothing and
household fabrics so that they will
look we'll and last as long as possible
To remove stains successfully you
must treat the stain while it is fresh,
work carefully but quickly, try simple
methods first, dry rapidly. These are
few of the pointers on removal of
stains. The new Government publica-
ton, stain Removal From Fabrics"
contains detailed information on the
subject. To secure your copy of this
