Gentlemen:-
i am submitting herewith two comics
CT the address on The Work of The
Capital lssues Committee" by the Hon.
Issues Committee. This address was
TO the Thirteenth Annual Con-
yention Of the National Association of
Comptrollers and Accounting Officers
on June goth, 1918, at Atlantic City.
In addressing the members Of the
convention, Mr.. Drum opened by say
Ing: VIVA the government really
Is hss really iya tRe rs reason sSOr G Tor my being b bess
today: we do want your help, and
want TO point out as briefly as i can
just wherein you can help the govern
meat at this time"
Inasmuch as the members assembled
were simply Representatives of the DIFF
ferent municipalities, Mr.. Drums re-
marks may well be said to have been
addressed to the governing bodies OF
the several municipalities. / would
therefore recommend that these copies
be placed on file for the p~erusai of any
one desiring to read this address.
Two major problems now confront
our country:
1. The winning OF the war.
2 The restoration of pursuits of
peace when the war has been won.
II Is vitality essential to the winning
OF the war that municipal and state
governments. as well as individuals
and private corporations cooperate
fully with the Capital Issues Commit
tee in order that It's functions may be
exercised freely and thoroughly. The
urgency OF such a policy Is we'll put by
the Secretary of the Treasury. as fol-
lows:
1T is only by subordinating local
and personal interests 20 the general
welfare, and by enforcing the most
rigid economy in matters OF public and
private enterprises, as well as In mat
tiers Of personal expenditure. that the
United States can hope 70 bear its
part of the financial burden OF the var
and to release sufficient labor and ma
terfals for war without de-
pletion of our own resources"
