HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex HCO POLICY LETTER OF 16 MAY 1965 Issue II Gen Non-Remimeo HCO Div 1 Dept Insp & Rpts (Dept 3) Ethics Section INDICATORS OF ORGS Just as pcs have indicators so do orgs. There is a probable long list of Good Indicators. When these are present, Ethics is quiet and hangs onto an interrogation, etc only long enough to get policy and technology in. There is a probable long list of BAD Indicators. When these are present Ethics becomes industrious in ratio to the number of bad indicators. The first indicators, Good or Bad, are Statistics-the OIC graphs for units, sections, departments, divisions and the org. When these are rising, the rise is a GOOD INDICATOR. When these are falling the fall is a BAD INDICATOR. The second of these indicators, good or bad, is TECHNICAL GAINS. When technology is in cases are gaining. This is a Good Indicator. When technology is out, cases are losing. This is a Bad Indicator. Ethics only exists to hold the fort long enough and settle things down enough to get technology in. Ethics is never carried on for its own sake. It is pushed home only until technology is functioning and then technology resolves matters and Ethics prowls off looking for other targets. We don't hang people because we started to hang them and so must do so.

But if tech never does get in then we complete the hanging. You will find if you label a Suppressive you will some day get him back and get tech in on him. If you don't ever label they wander off and get lost. Labelling as a Suppressive is our hanging. When things are bad (Bad Indicators heavily visible) putting a body on the gallows is very salutary. We call it "Putting a head on a pike". Too many BAD Indicators and too goofed up a situation and we must put a head on a pike. Then things simmer down and we can begin to get tech in. That's the whole purpose of Ethics-to Get Tech IN. And we use enough to do so, to get correct standard tech in and being done. When there are lots of bad indicators about-low and falling statistics, goofed cases, we get very handy with our Interrogatories and put the place very nearly under martial law-we call this a State of Emergency. Once Emergency is declared, you
