OTTAWA ADVISES REPORT BE IGNORED Manchester Told To Disre- gard Statement on Tariff Board Action OTTAWA EXPLAINS Duties and Powers of Com- mission Defined--Inves- tigating Body London, Jan. 11.--(CP)--Informa- toin has been received at Manches- ter from Ottawa advising 'that no attention should be paid to a report that the appeal of the British cotton manufacturers against the present Canadian regulations' affecting the importation of their product into Ca- nada under the preferential tariff has been dismissed by the Canadian 'variff Advisory. Board, (The appeal of the cotton manu facturers was against the regulation making it necessary for the export. er to show that 50 per cent, of Eu- pire labor and materials entered the product before he can benefit by the Canadian preferential tariff. When the cotton manufacturers appeared betore the Tariff Advisory Board, they - contended in order to preserve a steady flow of suitable raw cotton into mills, it was necessary to pur- chase it in the United States, fre- quently at so high a figure that it would fiot be possible for them to fulfill the requirement.) ; Manchester's informant said there simply had been no decision yet, al- though W. H. Moore, Chairman of the tariff Advisory Board, appeared to be "a little hostile" Much depend ed on the view of the Minister. of Trade and Commerce will take, and the correspondent was pleased to in~ form Manchester that in that quar- ter the encouragement of British im- ports is "an article of faith." "Nevertheless," continues the cor- respondent, "there is a feeling we might do more on this side by way of reciprocity, or at least try to un- derstand the Canadian viewpoint. For instance the matter of the tin plate agreement with the United States rather rankles, Status Explained Ottawa, Ont, Jan, 11.--(CP)=In connection with the cabled dispatch from London which quoted an Otta- wa item that urges British cotton manufacturers to ignore previous ad- vices to the effect that the Canadian Advisory Board on Tariff and Taxa- tion had "dismissed" the appeal of the cotton manufacturers for an am- endment to the cotton import regu- lations, it. was pointed out here to- day that some considerable misunder- standing appears to exist in Great Britain relative to the functions of the Tariff Board. The board, it was explained, pos- sesses no powers either of dismissal or recommendation, and has no dis- 'cretion in the matter of approving or disapproving appeals. It is purely a fact-findirig body which probes the réasons for whatever references are made to it, takes' evidence and sub. mits the results to the Minister of Finange, under whose "jurisdiction the board operates.

The "tin-plate agreement" referred to in the dispatch quoted has refers ence to another hearing, which was held subsequent to that on cotton W. J. Firth, president of the South Wales Tinplate Association, in mak- ing his representations referred to the agreement now in force between | the British producers and those in the United States whereby the Brit. ish obtained 60 per cent, of the to- tal export trade of the two countrics and the United States remaining 40 per cent. He denied that this had the cffect of maintaining high prices, and declared that no suggestion of price-fixing had ever been discussed in connection with the agreement. All proceedings leading up to the agreement had been verbal, covered by discussions held in New York. At the same hearing evidence was given by D. A. Maclean of Connors Brothres, Limited, Black's Harbor, New Brunswick, to the effect that prices on tinplate were higher now than they weae before the agreement became operative. QUALITIES NEEDED BY CIVIL SERVANT Sir John Anderson Says Common Sense Chief Asset MIXED STAFFS Public Department Cannot Take Risks Like Ordinary Business Londen, Jan. 7--Members of the Royal Commission on the Civil Service were, recently, given a sketch of the ideal Civil Servant as conceived by Sir John Anderson, Permanent Under-Secretary for the Home Office. Sir John was asked by Lord Tomlin, chairman of the Commis- sion, what he considered to be the qualities needed for an Assistant Principal. He repled:-- The most conspicuous quality is common sense, I think one needs a certain stan- dard of education and training; The power to grasp the ingred- fents of a problem and to set them forth clearly and with some sense of perspective; and If the problem is mot too diffi- cult one would expect to find & solution suggested even by an as- sistant Principal. Sir John gave an exhaustive catalogue of the duties performed by the Home Office. Lord Tomlin: I believe you are the residuary legatee of all the other departments. When there is something which does not como within the province of any other department it comes to you? (Laughter.) Sir John: Broadly speaking that Sir John: Broadly speaking, thet is true, notwithstanding that [I think my offjce is generally typical of a Secretary of State's department. Referring to differences in the conditions of service of men an women, Sir John said that th women had tacic 'a CBUksasuil ment and their own ladders of promotion. The amalgamation of the men and women staffs was being considered, Lord Tomlin: So far as the work is concerned is it possible to draw any distinction? Sir John added that he was in favor of the amalgamation of staffs, the recruiting of men and women to the same grades, and of having the same ladder of pro- motion, although the transition from the present scheme wonld be a little difficult. Lord Tomlin: Does that also in- volve the samie rates of pay? Sir John: No. That is an entire- separate thing. Department's Difficulties 'Questioned by Dr. Baillie re- garding differences botween busi- ness houses and the Civil Service, Sir John said that he could run a department more cheaply had he not to make records justifying ly t | man has purposes of answering questions in Parliament. Careful records had to be made at every stage in every- thing. Vp great distinction in public administration as compared with business," Bir Jobn explained, 'is that you have got to be prepared to justify each thing you have done. If anything goes wrong, the matter is debated in Parliament, the dopartment {is overhauled, there is a committee of inquiry, and every single thing is pulled up by the roots," "In public administration they had to work to a much higher standard of accuracy than was necessary in busincss, Thore ar? certain business 1isks taken every day which the head of a depart- ment simply cannot take. In busi- nes the risks may come off, but if a public department took risks and made a mistake which was found out the results would be ex- tremely embarrassing." Sir John was questioned regard- ing methods of recruitment, He was asked whether t'.e man with an honors degree at a university was a neccssary source of recruit- ment, Quoting a specific case, Sir John replied that if they had a vacancy for an Assistant Principal they would endeavour to find someone in the lower ranks of the department suitable for promo- tion. Failing that they would ask the Civil Service Commission to find someoné by examination. The average man they obtained by oxamination, and the average man secured by promotion were not really equivalent. "A man who has had 'a university training or education." explained Sir John, "has 'qualities which the other not got, and, on the other hand, w often find that the promoted man possessed peculiarly valuable properties for certain kind of work." Whild thier practice was not to go outside if there were men suit- able for promotion inside, he thought that there ¢ ~uld be repre- sentatives of both types--the uni- versity man, whose education had been carried to a higher stage, and the promoted man, They had not sufficient cxperienca to determine what the right proportion should be. Sir John considered that the quality of the administrative staffs was up to the pre-war standard. He did not think that the ex-Ser- vice men who had + n taken on in various capacities were--speak- Ing quite generally--up to the level of the pre-war second divi- sion «* rk, Promotion Bias Replying to qucstions from members of the Commission, Sir John said that in obtaining staff there was no prejudice in favor of the university man. "I believe," he remarked, "there is a distinct bias in favor of promoting a man from the lower grades rather thanetaking a man from an examination, even though there may be a feeling that t's» man from the examination might on the whole suit the de- partment better." When a young man from the university came to a Government office: he started for the first time on work which was not even distanlty related to anything he had done before, It would not be surprising if, In a few cases, a university man found the work so irksome and uncongenial that he could not do it. "There are such cases, but they are few," Sir John commented. Sir John was asked whether it were sometimes found that officers who - had given efficient Service for a number of years gradually lost. their efficiency, sometimes because they were devoting too much time to outside interests. He replied that he could not recall specific instances of that Kind, but there certainly were cases, To most of us Easy Street seems to be marked "No Thoroughfare." '90 Simcoe St, 8.
