Possible Objection.
The imposition of dual loyalty among members of the police force appears to be the most sericus ob- jeetion to the scheme. Another objection is the withdrawal of part of the responsibility for the work of maintaining law and order from local executive oficials plac- ing it in the hands of appointees of insular officials. It would re- verse the policy of giving local government greater autonomy, it is pointed out.
