Plans to Convince Congress
Leaders Their Blanket
Authority Is Needed
No Radical Move

President Surprised at Op-
position; Believes Measure
Red Tape Short Cut
BY c. w. Gilbert

WASHINGTON. Feb. 8. - President
Wilson will begin next week, to cal!
in the White House members of Con-
gress Republicans and Democrats
olke-and explain his reorganization
bill. 1t is said that he realizes ,hc
"unfortunate impression" created by
mis- sending the bill into the Senate
without explanation and is to go about
correcting it. He does not regard his
bill as at all radical and was surprised
at the storm 1t created. He does not
intend to do anything radical with The
authority that will be his if it is
passed. He means to let Congress
know this. and when Congress ..ocs
know ii Il is expected that Congress
vii! pass the bill.
The bill does not give the President
any new powers, only authority to re-
arrange the distribution of powers al
ready existent in more logical aud
efficient manner. For example. there
IS the Director General OF Railroads
and the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, also by law having certain powers
over railroads. Should some Of The
commissions authority go to Mr. Mc-
Adoo? Should the commission itself
be put under McAdoo for the period
Of the war?

Wants Authority
To Cut Red Tape

There arc u thousand such questions.
cf which these are the leading ones.
There is. besides, much red tape about
the way things are donc--red tape es-
tablshcd by law. The President wants
authority to do away with this red
tape by a stroke of the pen. 1t would
not be possible to go to Congress each
time one of these detailed changes in
organization is required. That would be
cumbersome and impracticable. There
fore the President wants blanket au-
thority.
There arc two theories of rcorgani-
zation held here: one concerns a re-
organization at the centre. the other a
reorganization in the periphery One
has to do with the substance of the
government, tho other with its details.
Nj. Wilson. like Mr. Baker. believes
1t is enough TO improve the details.

Those who hold to the opinion that
what is the matter here is solely that
there have been to many Sharpes and
Croziers think that a "functonal" re-
organization like this one, accompanied
by lovelier and more convincing dia-
grams and by an improved personnel in

ators Chamberlain, Hitchcock, Wads-

there is trouble at the bottom there is
greater and more serious trouble at the
top. They believe that the country has
not yet developed a proper working ex-

Quoting great war. The President

Here. in rough outline, is how the
war department is planning to bring
the American soldiers home:
The American expeditionary force
will be divided into two armies, that
which is to remain temporarily abroad
and that which is to come home.
The army which is to return will
then be broken up into segments. Each
segment or unit will be organized on
the basis of the location of the home
Of the individual soldier.
For instance, the New England di-
vision, the Goth, will remain unit,
as all its men are from Massachusetts,
Connecticut, New Hampshile etc. But
the Rainbow division, which contains
national guard troops from a score
ofstates, will be broken up into units,
each Of which includes men from a sim
gle state or from neighboring states.
The the United States will be divi-
ded into ten or more districts. Each
district will be few by one or more
seapOrts. from Maine to Texas. Port
Wand will feed one New England dis
trict, Boston another. New York will
feed its own district, which will prob
ably include states as far west as the
upper Great Lakes, Philadelphia, per-
haps Baltimore, the Hampton Roads
ports. CharleStOwn. Tampa, Calves
~tOE and other ports each will be assign
ed to a district.

in the New York district will he sent
to New York. the men from the Gel
weston district will be sent to Calves
ton, and SO on. There will be no great
influx Of thousands of men at any one
port, although New York will receive
more than others.
Commanding officers of divisions in
France will be instructed to detach
men from the first rehabilitation dis
trict," for instance, and entrain them
for IA specified French port, where ade-
quate shipping will be waiting. IL
France, as in this country. no one port
will be used. The vessels will then
proceed direct to the port for which
the men aboard are destined, disem-
bark their passengers and return fo-
another load.
The location of the camps and can
tonmcnts in this country will have
something to do with the selection Of
the districts.
This program has not yet been Off
cially approved, and war department
officials will not discuss it. 1t is con-
sidered likely, however, that the plan
has been completed down to the last
detail. and that even the demobliZa-
ton districts have already been de-
fined.
