The members of the commission
which was appointed by President

perhaps greater magnitude to work
out than ever came before a similar
commission. Not only is the subject
Of the inquiry one OF great import
ance, but the breadth of its scope is
such as to require the varied condi-
lions Of the whole country to be taken
into account. The amount of work
involved will hardly be realized by
the casual reader. The mere reading
of the letters which are flooding in
each day in answer to the questions
is difficult, though most interesting,
task, for the commissions incoming
