Three events of recent months have concurred to focus public attention on conflict of interests in the federal service. The most significant of these events is the appointment by President Kennedy of a committee to inquire into the problems of ethics in government. It is to be hoped that the projected inquiry will amount to more than a footnote in a law review article, which seems to have been the fate of its predecessors.' The most spectacular event was the decision in the Dixon-Yates case, in which the Supreme Court held unenforceable a government contract because of the dual interests of a government agent. The least publicized event, yet the one which best indicates the confusion and uncertainty in this area, arose in the Senate consideration of the President's cabinet, notably Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara. As a condition of committee approval, Mr. McNamara was forced to sell all his interests in the Ford Motor Company so as to avoid violating any conflict of interest statute. The proposal to place the receipts of the sale in a trust for investment purposes was unacceptable. Eventually, the appointee agreed to make any disposition of his interests which the committee deemed suitable. Popular awareness of the conflict of interest problem is significant and interesting. Conflict of interest has been said to be a "luxury issue,"' a matter that only a secure and stable society can afford to be concerned about. Certainly the present-day citizen has little to worry about in comparison with his earlier counterpart. Larcenies in government are no longer so blatantly gross as they were in earlier periods of our history. Most commentators agree that the basic integrity of federal government employees and officials today is relatively high and that the standards are rising. One writer argues, however, that the trend is downward. While noting that few can make a fortune nowadays, he feels that thousands can and do wrest some-thing less than that from the government and deplores the present day ...
Almost thirty-five years ago the General Synod of the Reformed Church in America meeting in this midwestern city, Pella, Iowa, adopted a resolution "that the President be authorized to appoint a Committee on International Justice and Goodwill of five persons to cooperate with the Commission on International Justice and Goodwill of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America in carrying forward the Christian program for a Warless World." Included in the resolution was an endorsement of a Credo of "International Ideals of the Churches of Christ." We beli eve that nations no less than individuals are subject to God's immutable moral laws. We believe that nations achieve true welfare, greatness and honor only through just dealing and unselfish service. We believe that nations that regard themselves as Christian have special international obligations. We believe that the spirit of Christian brotherliness can remove every unjust barrier of trade, color, creed, and race. We believe that Christian patriotism demands the practice of goodwill between nations. We believe that international policies should secure equal justice forall races. We believe that all nations should associate themselves permanently for world peace and goodwill. We believe in international law, and in the universal use of international courts of justice and boards of arbitration. We believe in a sweeping reducti on of armaments by all nations. We believe in a warless world, and dedicate ourselves to its achievement.
