The Council of National Defense

4 REVIEW OF the work OF the Council Of
a National Defense since the beginning Of
the war shows accomplishments that seem al
most incredible when il is considered that
this body has executive power its com
ulttees made up of volunteers. its work
ers are practically all unpaid and no authority
resides in il 10 enforce any OF the policies
which il may adopt The Cabinet members
who members OF the council have certain
definite powers in their respective depart
mcnts. Of course. but the council as a body
achieve results only through patriotic
cooperation Oh the part OF the country
Even so. II has consummated a program Of
vital Importance to the government in the
prosecution OF the war and it is not unlikely
that Congress al the next session will be
called upon 10 invest the council with
broader authority than was contemplated
when ii created. It may never be given
the power 10 deal with either military or
naval operations. but il might properly be
authorized 10 deal more effectively with the
domestic resources and energies which are
necessary for the reinforcement OF our fight
ing men and fighting ships. In considering
the proposal enlarge the activities of the
council, Congress might well reflect upon the
work 1t has done under its present restricted
powers. For instance, the council has
brought about agreement for the recog-
milton OF the present labor standards; il has
completed an inventory for military purposes
Of all American manufacturing plants; it
has brought into existence the War Indus
tries Board; II has modified $3.50 miles
OF railroads, il has cO-ordinatcd all the teie-
phone and telegraph services; il has created
medical section Of surgeons and physicans
II has organized an Aircraft Production Board
which developed the Liberty motor; IL aided
materially III assembling the material for
the construction OF army cantonmentS; IL
brought into being State Councils of Defense
in every State In the Union; II organized the
railroad committee TO be sent to Russia and
railroad engineering regiments for the re-
Mobilization Of the French railroads; 1t or
ganizcd the automotve products section for
the stand rdzation Of the army motor truck:
1t promoted inc conservation Of raw products
making them more readily BILE for war
purposes, and ii has created an Important
woman's section.
The value OF these accomplishments can
not be ovcrstated, and the Council OF Ma
| uonal DEFENCE Is entitled TO the highest com
| mendation for its work. large share OF
! this WORK was performed by volunteer mem
| bers OF the councils committees and IT'S ad-
| Tisory commission, men who have abandoned
| enormous private business interests in order
| to place their services at the disposal of the
| government
