In regard to "to"

Only one amendment would be required to make quite democratic this plan for the restriction of office to graduates in administrative technique; and that would be such equality of educational opportunity as would open to all men and women, irrespective of the means of their parents, the road to university training and political advancement.

I don't understand the phrase " this plan for the restriction of office to graduates in administrative technique" , what does the preposition "to" mean?
