is told in the second annual report OF

The council began as a connecting
link between the nation in its normal

functions performed by the council. he
asserts, have been of a necessary and
vital nature. the work Of the national

operation Of State. county. municipal
and community organizations through
out the country.
The council was the nucleus for in
Vulnerable new functions and relations
made necessary by the war. Mr.. Gif-
ford points out. for which no admins
trative agency existed at the outbreak
OF the war. Tasks which received
their initial impulse from the council
and which later developed their own
administrative agencies include the

and medical problems.

As well as mobilizing Americas ma
terial resources for the prosecution Of
the war. declares Mr.. Clifford, the

this task. he says, 1900 subsidiary or
ganizations have Co-operated.
The story of how the government
met the tremendous demand OF the
various departments for steel. copper.

from peace to war work. is graphically

The Presidents proclamation fol-

every day the great principles
for which we are fighting take fresh
hold upon our thought and purposes
and make it clearer what the end
must be and what we must do to &C.
hieve it. We now know more Ger
tainly than we ever knew before why
free men brought the great nation
and government we love into exist
ence, because it grows clearer what
supreme service it is to be Americas
privilege to render to the world. The
anniversary of the discovery of Am
erica must therefore have for us in
this fateful year a peculiar and
thrilling significance. We should
make it day of ardent rededication
to the ideals upon which our govern
ment is founded and by which our
present heroic tasks are inspired.
'.Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Will
SON, president of the United States,
do appoint Saturday, the 18th day of
