CLEAN SLATE

IN SEEKING resignation of all Commissioners,
Acting Governor Claunch took a step in the right direction.
Theses men comprise, in effect, the Governors cabinet. They
are the ones whose recommendations make up the bulk OF
the policy of the government of these Islands, and they are
the ones whose responsibility it is to keep in close and con-,
slant touch with the people SO that in effect policy ultimately
becomes an expression Of the desires and detectives Of the
people.
IT IS FELT in many quarters that Acting Governor
Claunch's action smacks Of reprsal. And though this should
never be a factor of importance, nevertheless, Judging from
the total picture there may be justification for this belief
From the outset the previous administration set its courses
in strange ways. It failed, or refused to follow the normal
methods, thus leaving the way open for misunderstanding
U BE ALL this as it may, the resignation Of the Com
missioners, while it slows down somewhat the functioningo of
the government, seems almost a necessity. When the new
Governor arrives he will appoint his commissioners. No
doubt some will be asked to accept reappointment. Perhaps
some will not be so favored, but at least the slate will have
been cleared sufficiently SO as not to ~hamstring the work of
the Governor.
IN MANI INSTANCES we pointed to the strange and
unusual acts of former Governor Alexander, and wondered
aloud why these acts had to be taken. And these strange acts
continued even to the last days Of the former administration.
One such act was to declare commissioners to be classified
employees, thus placing them beyond the reach of the in
coming Governor so far as replacement was concerned. This
was done by the simple e~xpedient of an executive order.
BUT WHAT IS surprising to us is that Mr.. Alexander
should have failed to realize that an executive order of one
executive is not effective as to the succeeding official. The
new official or executive may promptly issue a new executive
order multiplying the former one. And this is exactly what took
place.
