Calvin Coolidge: “I haven't seen the Capper resolution relative to giving the President authority to put an embargo on the sale of arms.”

No employee entitled to military preference in appointment shall be discharged or dropped or reduced in rank or salary if his record is good.

They shall serve only so long as absolutely required and in no case beyond the usual field season.

This order is recommended by the Treasury Department and the Civil Service Commission.

The Civil Service Commission cannot recommend the appointment as required by the interests of the service.
