A special committee also reported to the Council last night that the merit system “is a merit * system for the Democrats The committee was named recently to investicate a list of all policemen and fire-

men and their political affiliations. Favorable Council action on the proposed ordinance would mean pay increases for all on a graduated scale. Additional cost ta the city, should the restoration be made six months in advance, would amount to approximately $160,000. The ordinance also provides an increase of 86 cents a month on low bracket | salaries over $168 a month minimum ! set by the Legislature.
Two Introduce Ordinance
The ordinance was introduced by | Adolph Fritz: and Mrs. Jeanette Dowd, Democratic council members. | They said that under the state law, low bracket employees’ salaries | would be restored out of proportion | to those of the higher brackets. The salary of the Police and Fire Chiefs would not be affected. These salaries have been fixed at $4800 by the State. It was indicated that some opposition to the ordinance would be made at the next council meeting. City employees not in the two departments which would be affected | by the proposed increase are expected to oppose the restoration as discriminatory, it was said. In addition to the police and fire departments. the police radio and Gamewell divisions also would benefit under the ordinance.

MacKenzie King to Present American Views, Simms Says...
By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
Times Foreign Editor LONDON, May 18.—The United States will have a spokesman at the | imperial conference when it settles
| Gown to work tomorrow after the
| Whitsun Holiday.
Of course, no American will be
| present. This is purely a British { Empire affair. But Prime Minister, MacKenzie King of Canada, one of the most potent figures here for the meeting, will make the United i States’ position known. It is obvious that the Canadian leader won’s do this officially, or by request, but after his visit to Washington and | his talks with President Roosevelt lund Secretary Hull he is fully qualified to expound their views on world trade and other vital problems.
U. S. Important. Cog
And while Mr. MacKenzie King, [like the rest of the premiers, will | put Dominion and Empire interests first. he and they are aware that | the United States is far too impori tant a cog in the world setup to be | ignored. This is true, they know, not only lin the economic sense but even
| where Empire defense is concerned. | For the two go hand in hand. Today American sympathy is overwhelmingly on the side of Britain and France, as is shown by the neutrality act;

gram, the Roosevelt monetary policy and so on. This is due to a feeling that democracy is at a crisis and that ifs three greatest exponents must somehow stand together. This three-musketeer sentiment would be even more valuable to Britain and
France in wartime than ‘in peace. In fact it might become vital. But if Britain and France saw fit to embark on a purely selfish course, to. the detriment of United States and the rest of the world the United States’ attitude would ‘likely undergo a drastic change. President \Roosevelt and Secretary Hull have been trying hard to put world recovery on a broad, sound footing, and this will be impossible if nations are to engage in cutthroat trade practices.
Prove Sincerity
~The Hull-Roosevelt doctrine is that peace can be secured by breaking up the international economic logjam. They are proving their sin-
cerity by their actions. ‘In a country which has been traditionally protectionist they are gradually lowering and rationalizing tariffs. But this policy would be likely to fail if the world’s greatest empire were to establish a blec based on economic nationalism and self-suf-ficiency. All this the Canadian spokesman has heard direct from President Roosevelt and Secretary Hull. Unquestionably he will inform the other Empire statesmen of these and associated views. In fact, he may add that America is in no mood to olay the role of “Happy Hooligan”
