[Footnote 2310: The removal of such managerial authority has since the
second World war taken place inside the United Nations and other Western
public administrations and seems to be the aim of much communist trade
union effort. The result has everywhere been added cost and decreased
efficiency. (SR.)]
[Footnote 2311: This principle has been introduced in Western
educational systems when clever self-appointed psychologists told
parents and teacher alike that they could and should not punish their
children but only talk and explain to them. (SR.)]
[Footnote 2312: This description fits the staff regulations of the
United Nations secretariat in which I served for 32 years. (SR.)]
[Footnote 2313: Decrees of December 14 and December 22, 1789: "In
municipalities reduced to three members (communes below five hundred
inhabitants), all executive functions shall belong to the mayor alone."]
[Footnote 2314: Could it be that Lenin took note of this and had it
this translated in Russian and made use of it in his and later in
Stalin's schools for international revolutionaries. It would in any
case have weakened the Bourgeois Capitalist countries. In any case such
measures have been introduced both in the international organizations
and in most Western Democratic Governments after World War II. (SR.)]
[Footnote 2315: This was in the United Nations called 'Rotation' and
made the administration of missions and forces difficult, expensive and
inefficient. This rotation was also used in the Indian and other armies
in order to prevent the officers to reach an understanding or achieve
any power over the troops under their command. (SR.)]
[Footnote 2316: Laws of September 23--October 29, 1790; January 16,
1791. (Titles II. And VII.)--Cf. the legal prescriptions in relation
to the military tribunals. In every prosecuting or judicial jury
one-seventh of the sworn members are taken from the non-commissioned
officers, and one-seventh from the soldiers, and again, according to the
rank of the accused, the number of those of the same rank is doubled.]
