a corporation on that special case. In
such cases the commission uses its
"discretion." Otherwise, it has no
rule.
However, with a little more pub
licity and continued show of interest
and indignation by the outspoken
Senator Douglas and a few others,
there is reason to believe the COM
mission will act to end state of af-
fairs that good many persons re-
gard as scandalous. Of course, the
commission ought to act without be-
ing prodded. But if it continues to ig-
more the facts it can and should be
made to act 1t is public duty to
slow down this sort of thing when
ever it can be done. Permitted to con-
tinue unchecked and uncriticiZed,
ultimately the point will be reached
where there is not so much as trace
of morality left in the whole public
service.

training, the friendships and the in
formation acquired while they were
serving the SEC give them a decided
advantage in this practice and make
them much more valuable to the corr
poration than lawyers who were not
employees. Some of these ex-em-
ployes, it is said, command very high
fees indeed, and are really cleaning
up" There has been quite a lot of
criticism of payroll aides and adj
visers who deliberately capitalize
their White House connections by en-
tering Washington law firms with no
other asset except their presidential
intimacy and friendship. Admittedly,
the ethical character of this is not
easy to defend than this wholesale
stepping of SEC employees from the
commissions pay roll to that of the
public utilities and others subject to
its jurisdiction.
Some members of the commission
itself have admitted the existence of
this inherently bad practice a
agreed that something should be done
about it. But though it has been go
ing on for years and has now reached
the proportions of a racket, nothing
is done about it. 1t is pointed out that
the SEC is one of the few Federal
commissions which has no rule bar
ring practice before it of former Of
ficials and employees until specified
period has elapsed. Usually, the per-
iod has been fixed at two or three
years. Efforts to get the SEC to act
along these lines have been made, but
though the violation of the properties
by its eX-employes is more fragrant
than by any other group it his failed
to act Inquiry at the office of the
SEC developed the fact that the only
restriction the commission has isn't
really a restriction at all. The COM
mission, it is said, is disposed to
frown upon an cx-employe who while
on the commission had been working
on a special case, later representing

really gives to it plus quality, not

The most successful and bestowed
teacher | ever knew told me she never
started her day without a prayer for
guidance. She said Il could not face
the responsibilities of my day without
asking Gods wisdom and guidance.
Perhaps her prayer may have been
something like this one, favorite of
mine, written by Elsie Robinson:
Father,
Fill me with Your strong serenity,
Let strength flow from me gently as
the light,
That spreads it's brightness
Without haste or strain.
Help me work gently
As in the spring
The urgent sap
Moves smoothly on its way
And builds the quiet miracle Of
leaves.
So let there be such calmness in my
life
That fear and hate
Shall find no place to bide,
And envy, greed and anger drop
away,
Leaving my spirit cool
As the fresh dawn,
AS orderly as some still summer noon,
As peaceful as the night
Hung white with stars.
Great source of life
Which gave me brain to think
And hands to work
And heart to love and grieve,
Give now the gift
That every worker needs
In these mad days
When riot rules the world
That gift without which
Life is waste and void
Help me be still.

SEC And Its Turnover"

hDAAN ANfo AA
Any governmental agency whose
primary purpose is to regulate pri-
vate enterprise and prevent corporate
and individual abuses ought to so
regulate itself as to be wholly free
from comparative abuses-or even
the suspicion thereof. The justice of
this expectation can hardly be dis
puted.
This being so, it does seem that
the Securities and Exchange Com
mission whose regulatory power is
perhaps greater than that of any 9TH
er Federal board should no longer re-
main inactive and indifferent to the
charges recurrently made against it.
One of these is that it is grossly over
manned. Another is that more than
any other Government commission its
operations are impeded by and en-
tangled in red tape. A third is that
its turnover in personnel is abnormal
ly high, often running as much as 25
per cent a year.
1t is true that these allegations are
made by persons over whom the COM
mission has regulatory powers and
are not therefore predisposed in its
favor. But it is also true that, through
personal experience, these persons are
in position better to know the facts
than anyone else. However, there is
another charge of different nature
which comes not from hostile but
from friendly sources and to which
there seems no excuse for commission
tolerance. This deals with the mani
fest improperly of former employees
nearly all of them lawyerS-who
! leave the commission after a year or
so and Immediately show up on the
legal staff of public utility corpo-
rations and others who have dealings
with the commission.
The appearances before it of these
former employees as representatives
Of these corporations and individuals
can hardly be justified by any stand
ard Of public or private morality.
Originally this charge was made by
! Mr.. Cyrus S. Eaton, of Otis & Co.,
with whom the SEC has been con-
! Quoting feud for a long time and
who, while he may not be regarded as
J a wholly detached critic, certainly has
a lot of facts to sustain his cOnten-
ton. But it has been recently repeated
| by that ardent liberal" columnist,
/ Mr.. Thomas l.. Stakes, and by the
concededly liberal" Senator Paul
1 Douglas, of Illinois, who vehemently
declared, after digging into the sub
! ject, that 81 am shocked at the exodus
! of people from the Securities and EX-
I change Commission who promptly go
over to the public utilities corpo-
ration" The practice" continued
Senator Douglas, ''is one of the great
est sources Of abuse in the whole adj
ministrative system"
There seems considerable founda-
| ton for this statement. Certainly, at
the moment Washington is fairly well
cluttered up with these eX-employes
of the SEC who specialize in public
utility cases before the SEC. The

Holy Year Extension
Through 1851 10 All
OF World Planned
BY the Associated Press

VATICAN CITY, Dec. 13.-The
Holy Year jubilee which ends here
on Christmas Eve will be extended
through all of 1851 to the entire
world.
Millions of Catholics who were
unable to make pilgrimage to
Rome in the 1850 Holy Year will
thereby be given the opportunity
to gain the spiritual benefits in
their own cities.
Vatican sources said yesterday
that the intentions in the extern
sion of the Holy Year-which will
apply to the whole world except
Rome-will be the same as for the
Holy Year now ending, the 25th in
the nearly 1000 years of the
church. Intentions are the church's
prescriptions for the form and
spirit Of administering sacra-
ments.
A papal bull proclaiming the
extension officially. as was done
at the end of the 1925 Holy Year,
is expected to be published Christ
mas Day. If the same procedure
is adopted as Is years ago the ex-
tension of Holy Year will begin
January /. 1851, and end a year
later.
Msgr. Sergio Pignedoli, secre-
tary Of the Holy Year Central
Committee, in a summary of the
jubilee said that during 1850
throngs gathered in st. Peters
Basilica, but that in 1851 "the
faithful will gather in their own
temples"
Catholics acquiring the jubilee
indulgence - pardon of temporal
punishment due to sin-will pray
for: A general and universal re-
turn to Christ; unshakable faith
in Christ and the church: allie
glance to the Catholic church of
all those who are outside it, in
cluding "those who deny or hate
Cod; peace, especially in the
holy places of Palestine; defense
OF the church against renewed
attacks or her enemies, and social
justice and aid for the needy.
