Abstract
WE are justly proud in Great Britain of the esteem in which our Civil Service is held throughout the world; and although opinion may differ on the sagacity of the various political chiefs who temporarily influence it or are influenced by it, the reputation of its permanent chiefs is unquestioned. To them are attributed sagacity, foresight, breadth of outlook, incorruptibility, and those other qualities associated with high intellectual ability and respect for the Civil Service ideals and traditions. Their responsibility is enormous. The machine of government which they control is almost bewilderingly complex. Upon their knowledge of its parts and appreciation of its respective functions, their receptivity of new ideas, their capacity to develop the machine to cope with its ever-increasing tasks, upon their judgment of its personnel, the smooth working of the Service depends.
